The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 138 Companions Resurrected

   "Captain, look at—"

  A large sailing ship with the Pirate Flag sailed to the rear of the City of Seven Waters, and the observer noticed the anomaly.

  "A small sailboat without a flag?"

   "It looks like it's worn out," the leader of the pirate regiment of the'Magic Frog' with a bounty of 45 million puts down his binoculars and strokes his tentacles. "Just let them go..."

   "Wait, is that?!"

  On the scorched shore, a comatose man with a long nose lay. Of course, this is not the point, the point is those things around him!

  "Medicine chest, food, nautical charts, shells, and-Bailey?!"

  Not to mention other things, the stacks of banknotes instantly attracted the attention of this ship! There are tens of millions if you just look at it and say less! Let the captain of the magic frog with a pair of bulging eyes give the order immediately.

   "Look in the past, it's time for us to make a fortune today—"

Snapped,

  A tall, white armored man landed on the deck from the sky, lifted up his gorgeous helmet and swept around, there was a cold voice.

  "Get out of here, or—"

   "Kill him!"

  Ping Pong—

  Densely dense bullets bounced a string of sparks on the armor, and "White Knight-Gai" sighed.

   "Is it bad to be alive?"

die!

  The battle started, and the white armor galloping at high speed on the deck was killing horizontally and horizontally. There was no enemy. Even the captain of the magic frog who broke into the great route with the animal system "poison dart frog fruit" quickly lay in the blood.

The deadly poison of    is useless to this ‘armor knight’, and after the head falls, the powerful recovery ability of the animal system can only be useless.

  The battle ended soon. Facing the blood-stained deck, the ‘White Knight’ first looked around for a week, and then jumped high!

   "Cut!"

  The huge white half-moon-shaped sword aura crashed down, instantly splitting the entire pirate ship in half! Ling Yu's sword aura even pressed the sea to roll apart on both sides.

  Then the turbulent waves squeezed towards the middle, quickly swallowing the ship into trash on the bottom of the sea.

  After doing all this, the white knight with wings growing behind flew behind a nearby mound, silently sitting down cross-legged and turned into a motionless statue again.

  ———

  The City of Seven Waters.

   "I feel so heavy~~"

  On the roof of a hotel, Luffy sat cross-legged on the eaves.

   "This is the captain!"

  Sauron pushed the door of the roof with the handle of the knife and walked over.

  "Don't be lost, Luffy."

  "If you are unsure...who can we trust?"

   "Also, you have more important things now." Sauron patted Luffy on the shoulder.

   "Robin is gone."

   "Roman... seems to be a little self-blaming, he thinks he is too oppressive to let Usopp..."

  ———

   "I should have given Usopp the shells I harvested from Sora Island to improve combat effectiveness."

  In the room, Roman looked at a few shells on the table and sighed. "But Usopp's current body, if you use too strong shells, it will damage yourself..."

   "Anyway, it's my'Chief of Staff' who didn't adjust well—"

"Do not!"

  Luffy, who pushed the door and stepped forward, interrupted Roman’s words.

   "If you want to blame, I should be the captain!"

"Whether it is the sand crocodile or the thundering long ears, I insist on fighting." Luffy looked around for a week. Nami and Chopper's eyes were obviously red and they had just cried. There was an ashtray next to Sanji. A pile of cigarette butts, Roman is thinking hard with a page...

   "If you feel embarrassed because of my relationship, I apologize to you."

  Facing Luffy who took off his straw hat and bowed his head, everyone in the room stood up.

  "You are the captain..."

   "Luffy, don't be like this—"

"but,"

After putting on the straw hat, Luffy looked at everyone seriously.

  "I don’t regret my decision! Maybe I will get more and stronger enemies in the future. I just want to know, you guys—"

  "Will you still support me?"

   "Puff,"

  Nami was the first to laugh,

"certainly."

   "Without us, you can't even get the boat out of the dock!"

   "Yes,"

  Roman also nodded seriously,

   "If no one advises you, I can imagine a scene where you eat all the ‘prison meals’ of all the enemy’s homes."

   "Eat all the food on the first day of going to sea,"

  Sanji lighted a cigarette and despised a certain refrigerator destroyer.

   "Then you will be hungry for the rest of the day. Such a One Piece is really~~~"

"Ah,"

  Sauron just gave a cold snort, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth undoubtedly represented affirmation.

"Luffy,"

   Wiping a tear, Chopper looked at the man who forcibly took him out to sea.

   "But Usopp, and what about Robin Sister? I'm so worried about them~~~"

   "Of course it is—"

  Lu Fei turned his head and looked at Roman with a serious face.

   "Roman, you come to think of a way."

  ? ? ?

  Is this when I have upgraded to a universal wishing machine? !

"I·······"

  Looking at the look of expectation and trust in a room, Roman had to shrug his shoulders.

"Alright alright."

  "Ussop, I sent the ‘White Knight’ to guard there..." As soon as Roman’s voice fell, a sigh of relief sounded in the room—including Luffy!

  Obviously, they didn’t really let Usopp go. Otherwise those medicines, nautical charts, Pele, etc...

   "Actually, the key to the core of this incident is that Usopp thinks it will drag us down."

  "Can't you figure out a solution for him? Roman." Sanji knocked his heels, and he had mastered the two ‘spray shells’ above him, and he was able to fly short distances in the air.

   "I do think about the way, but Usopp's own physical fitness..."

  Although, after constant exercise after boarding, Usopp's physical fitness has been greatly improved.

But unlike Luffy, Sauron, and Sanji who were trained by famous teachers since childhood, Usopp was just an authentic ordinary person before encountering the straw hat group, and he had not exercised well at all, let alone any famous teachers. .

  It’s not so easy to catch up in more than ten years. It’s better to say that it doesn’t take long to catch up with others’ hard work for ten years. How can it be unrealistic?

   "Of course, Usopp's potential is still very large. As long as he persists, he can be alone. The premise is:"

   "He still wants to fight—or rather, fight with us!"

  This is the most critical place. If Usopp chooses to return to his hometown in the East China Sea to get married. What Roman said would never mention anything about strengthening combat effectiveness.

   "There is no need to discuss this issue."

  Luffy pressed the straw hat, "No matter what Usopp chooses, I respect his decision.—because we are partners for life!"

   "Okay, then the second question: The Golden Merley."

  ? ? ?

  For an instant, everyone in the room was shocked and mixed with incredibleness.

   "Actually, the Golden Merley is not impossible to save—"

  Swipe, swipe,

  Boom!

  Two figures galloped in, one on the left and the right holding the collar and pushing Roman against the wall.

  "You fellow! Why don't you say it earlier if there is a way?"

"Calm down,"

   Facing the blue veins of Luffy and Sauron, Roman waved his hand.

   "Although I said there is a way, it is not now, let alone 100%.-You know that I will not guarantee anything until it is not successful."

   "So, what can you do to save Melly?"

   Facing the excited Luffy, Roman shook the paper in his hand: There was a big mouth like an iron bucket on it.

   "The ‘swallowing ability’ of that iron jaw?"

   "Yes, the ‘Tuton Factory’ extended from Walbo’s ‘Tuton Fruit’ can combine two people into one person.”

  As Luffy and Sauron let go, Roman's collar automatically returned to neatness.

   "For the same reason, I can also use the'Tun Tun Factory' to integrate the Golden Meri with a new ship, so as to achieve a way to extend the life of the Golden Meri."

   "Wow, that's great! Mr. Roman~~"

Chopper next to    jumped with excitement.

   "Then what are you waiting for, let's set off! As long as the Golden Meri is saved, Usopp will—"

"not that simple,"

  Sauron calmed down, holding his arms,

   "There must be some restrictions? Otherwise, Roman should have said it already."

   "Yes, there are two difficulties."

  Roman stretched out two fingers, the devil fruit is not omnipotent, let alone his ‘pirate’ ability.

  "First, a very good ship is needed to fuse. Otherwise, in the case of the Golden Meri, ordinary ships cannot share his injuries at all."

  This problem is solved by Adam, the legendary material treasure tree that Frankie bought.

  "Second, there is a limit to swallowing the fruit. It is beyond my ability to swallow a ship in its entirety—even the original owner of the fruit, Valbo!"

   "Then Roman, you must have a solution to the problem, right?"

   Facing Luffy’s question, Roman nodded.

  "This page itself is an extension of my ‘body’, so if I can make the page bigger, I can enlarge the swallowed volume of the swallowed fruit in the same proportion."

  The two golden pillars were swallowed in a ‘chewed up’ situation. Of course, you can’t use this method in the face of the Golden Merley. -Not to mention that "Chew" will kill the "Ship Spirit" of the Merley? You can't spit out a bunch of parts and assemble it slowly, right?

   "And to do this, I need to master an ability."

   "Life is back!"

  "Where do I need to learn this skill?"

   Facing Luffy with a serious face, Roman pointed to the city center, which was the direction of Carrera’s corporate headquarters.

   "CP9!"
