Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 5 Hunter Zorolla joins in
"Hahaha, the people in that store are so funny."

No malice, the appearance of those guests fleeing in embarrassment just now was simply 'interesting' to Luffy.

"...not right..."

And Kirby doesn't have Luffy's 'strong' mentality. He looked around nervously and quickly analyzed the situation.

"It's understandable that people are afraid to hear Sauron's name, why do they hear Colonel Monka also--"

"It's simple,"

Roman on the other side gave the answer directly.

"This shows that the colonel at the naval base makes people more fearful than the 'pirate hunter'."

"No...impossible..."

Ha ha,

Facing Kirby, who was carrying the 'Navy Dream', Roman just raised his chin not far away.

"Yes or not, don't you know if you go and see for yourself?"

At the end of the road is a magnificent naval base.Towering walls, densely-packed turrets, and flying naval flags...
All give a 'strong and powerful' feeling!only:
"As expected of a military center, let alone buildings, there are no pedestrians."

Roman sighed casually, not knowing if it was the truth or sarcasm.As the three came to the closed gate of the base:

"Go on, Kirby."

Luffy pressed his straw hat and pointed to the naval base in front of him.

"me······"

"I'm going to see what kind of person that Zoro is~~"

Regardless of the tangled Kirby, Luffy leaned on the wall as soon as he took off, and looked at the center of the vast square of the naval base.

"Huh? Is that the guy—"

In the center of Navy Square, a man is tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame!

It was a man in a dark green headscarf, with short green hair under the headscarf, three golden drop-shaped earrings on his left ear, a white T-shirt on his upper body, a green belly roll wrapped around his waist, and dark green trousers. Black boots.

Of course, the most striking thing is his eyes!

Sharp as a knife, wild as a beast!Just by looking at it, it will give birth to the illusion of being 'torn and cut'!

Very strong.

Roman, who made a 'ladder' with paper under his feet, squinted his eyes. The opponent's strength was almost on par with his 'former' captain who sank into the sea with the 'Wind and Waves'!
However, Sauron of this period should not have mastered 'chopping iron' yet...
Sauron should have an advantage in physical fitness, but in swordsmanship he is not as good as the captain who can burst out the ability to 'cut iron'.

Anime that I watched many years ago, plus travel through several years.To be honest, apart from the main 'Four Emperors', 'Shibukai' and the protagonists, Roman's memory of One Piece has long since become blurred.

"Hey, you guys."

The man who was tied to the stake raised his head, and even though he was in prison, he still did not lose a trace of his spirit.

"Come here and untie the rope for me."

"I will repay you, - I can give you the money for catching wanted pirates in the future..."

"interesting,"

Roman clasped his hands and tilted his head to look at Luffy who was lying on the wall.

"Luffy, what do you think?"

"That rope looks like it's easy to break free..."

"Hey, Luffy, your focus is wrong!" Kirby on the side stopped anxiously, for fear that the two 'lawless' guys beside him slapped his head and released the 'criminal' in that square.

"If you let him go, the people in this town, and you and I will all be killed—"

"No, he can't kill me."

Luffy, who has been acting silly all the time, smiled confidently, "I'm also very strong."

···········
Snapped,
Just as the three of them were 'watching the play', a ladder stood beside them, and then a little girl gave the three of them a fierce 'stare', and after 'warning' them not to make a sound, she quickly climbed over the wall. Jump into the naval base.

"Big brother, I made rice balls for you..."

"You're courting death, kid, get out!"

"This is my first time doing..."

"Don't understand? I told you to get out-"

-----

"Tsk tsk, it's not right to bully children, Roronoa Zoro."

With a frivolous voice, a guy who only had 'Second Ancestor' written on his face walked out of the naval base with duck steps, followed by two naval soldiers.

"Be careful I tell my dad."

"Cut, I will only rely on my father's waste..."

"What is this, the rice ball to console the Navy?" The second generation ancestor grabbed the little girl's rice ball and took a bite, then:

"Bah, bah, what's in the rice ball? Sugar—what the hell kind of cooking..."

"Be careful I tell my dad!"

After throwing the rice ball on the ground and stomping on it, the second ancestor ordered the little girl to be thrown out.Then he walked away angrily.He didn't even comment on the three 'spectators' on the fence, making Roman secretly think about whether this guy is also an interstellar player...
Remember that this guy seems to have changed his mind later?And also wear an eye mask.

I'm afraid it's not really blind...
"Thank you big brother,"

"It's okay," Roman waved his hand and patted the little girl who was thrown out of the fence and caught by him. "Go home quickly, it's dangerous here."

Naval bases are dangerous...

Kebi next to him hesitated, stopped moving forward, stepped back in a dilemma, difficult...
------

"Hey, you guy is still there...Aren't you afraid that the second ancestor will tell his father?"

At the same time, Luffy had jumped into the naval base and stood in front of the man tied to the stake.

"Not afraid."

For the stubborn Luffy, what Colonel Monka, what naval base... can I eat it——

"I'm looking for a companion to go out to sea with me as a pirate."

Pirates?What a selfish fellow...
"Hey, help pick up that rice ball—"

"Are you going to eat this, it's already full of mud..."

Facing Luffy's dislike, the man named Zoro just opened his mouth.

"Noisy!"

"Give me—"

click, click, swallow

"Bring me a word for that little girl," the hooded man lowered his head, "the rice balls are delicious, thank you."

-------

"Hey, your captain is gone."

The same square, the same man tied to the stake.

But this time, it was Roman who stood in front of him.

"What are you still doing here, Pirate!"

"Well, I was thinking."

Roman touched his smooth chin with one hand thoughtfully.

"How many days have you been tied here?"

"Nine days, what's wrong—"

"you,"

Roman's gaze fell on Zoro's lower three lanes, making the other party feel uncomfortable.

"I don't think my pants are full of shit or something..."

???

"I killed you! I killed you!!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. - Don't blame me if you can't hold back."

Roman waved his hand,

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"I think you have a very good appetite for Luffy, so he will definitely come back and pull you on board in a while, then:"

Roman waved his hand and made a paper 'chair' on the spot to sit down.

"I'll just wait here."

------

"hello."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Luffy to leave and return, causing Zoro's eyes to flicker while tied to the stake.

"If you want to persuade me to be a pirate—" "I'll help you untie the rope, so be my companion."

"Listen to people..."

"I don't care, I have decided to make you my partner."

"Don't make up your own mind!!"

"By the way, I heard that you are a very powerful swordsman, what about the sword?"

Luffy changed the subject for a second, so that Zoro who was bound was a little unable to react.

"It was taken away, it was second only to my life-"

"very good,"

Luffy slapped his fists with palms, and looked like he'd come up with a good idea again.

"I'll go get your knife, and you'll be my partner!"

"You... so despicable!"

It's a pity that after Luffy left a sentence 'You don't move around here, I'll go back when I go', and he ran to the naval base in a hurry.

"This...is this guy an idiot..."

"Hahahaha~~"

Roman, who was watching the whole play next to him, stood up with a smile and waved his hand. The 'chair' on the ground broke down into sheets of paper and fell into his hand, and then turned into a sailor knife.

"How about it, have you seen how difficult that guy is?"

Roman turned the paper knife in his hand into a knife flower, "Don't think about it, the guy Luffy took a fancy to, in the end, the only way to go is to get on the boat obediently."

"Are you human traffickers?"

"And, what's there to be proud of—"

Facing the furious Zoro, Roman just shrugged with a smile.

"No, I'm just happy to see someone end up with the same 'end' as me~~~"

"That's all."
