The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 12 Dog vs. Old Man Captain Showdown

  "Huhuhuhu~~"

  After racing all the way, the three stopped on the street of the small town.

  "Escape, escaped..."

  Faced with Nami who was panting, Roman began to prepare a fitness plan for the other side in earnest while speaking calmly.

   "Even if you are a navigator of our pirate group, you don't need to fight, but your physical strength is too bad."

  "Who is your navigator—"

Um? !

   Facing Roman's eyes that suddenly became cold, Nami, who was crying in her heart, had to close her eyes and nod her head.

   "Yes, yes, I blamed me for dragging you back..."

but:

  This guy named Roman is so strong!

  In the face of the infamous Bucky Pirates, it not only comes and goes, but is quite invincible. Moreover, one hand is holding himself in one hand, the other is carrying the big iron cage and the idiot "Captain" in it rushes all the way, without blushing or breathing.

  Maybe, lie to this guy to deal with...

   "Wow, look at this dog not moving."

  Luffy, who broke free from the rope while escaping, just got out of the danger, and began to play treasure again. -This time, the object of his moles is a dog on the side of the road: just an ordinary pastoral dog, squatting motionless in front of a small shop.

   "Is this dog dead? Isn't it a statue~~"

  "Rubber...Two Finger Zen!"

  Extend his arm from the cage, put his index finger and ring finger on the dog’s eyeballs. Then:

   Click,

   "Ahhhhh, it hurts!"

  Ah this...

  Looking at the one person and one dog fighting enthusiastically across the cage, Roman again began to reflect on whether he had let Luffy eat too much.

   "What an idiot!"

Nami next to    was also extremely speechless about the "Human Dog War".

   "However, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I am just an idiot."

  Speaking, she patted her clothes, took out a key and threw it to the cage.

  "Take advantage of your fight, I stole the key." The orange-haired girl curled her lips unhappily, "Really, I didn't steal any treasure or nautical chart..."

   "Haha, great."

  Luffy, who has been ‘hanging up’ in the cage, was elated, "This cage has hurt me miserably~~"

   "Huh, you are not to blame for being stupid."

  Roman snorted speechlessly, but for the sake of the other party’s "recruitment" to the navigator...

  叼起—

  Guru~!

  "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, spit out the key for me!"

  ?

   "Luffy, tell me the truth, what you eat is definitely rubber fruit, isn't it the ‘fruit of wisdom’!?"

  Not only lowers one's IQ, but also lowers the IQ of surrounding creatures·····

  Roman rubbed his temples and sighed.

   "Very good, let's eat dog meat fire—"

"Hey!"

   "You guys, don't bully Xiuxiu~~"

  An old man wearing leather armor, protective gear, a spear on his back, and glasses ran over angrily.

  ————

   "So, are you the mayor of this town?"

   "This dog is called Xiuxiu?"

  "Then why is it squatting here~~" Facing the questions of the three Romans, the old man sighed.

   "This shop," the old mayor pointed to the small shop behind him, "an old friend of mine opened it with Xiuxiu."

  "For them, this store is their most precious memory..."

"But, the pirates are here." Nami chased suspiciously. "Everyone in the town ran out to take refuge? Why let this dog stay here to watch the house, your friend is not afraid that it will be killed by the pirate— "

"He is dead."

  The old mayor sighed again.

   "A few months ago, my old friend got sick and went to the hospital, and then..."

   "So this dog is here to guard one by one, waiting for his master to come back?" Facing Nami's emotion, the old mayor smiled.

   "No, Xiuxiu is a clever dog. It must know that its owner can no longer come back."

   "It's just that, this store is its most precious memory, so it will stay here forever." As he talked, the mayor was holding his forehead, and there was a tremor in his voice.

   "What a stupid dog!"

   "Heh, uncle, you are almost done too?"

   leaned against the door of the shop, and Roman, holding his hands, raised his eyelids, "You ran to check at this time, wouldn't you be able to put down this town?"

   "After all, you are smarter than this dog and can't go there~~"

"hehe,"

   Facing Roman’s ‘sarcasm’, the old mayor smiled and shook his head.

   "Yes, this town is us—a group of refugees whose homes have been destroyed by pirates are built up from the barren a little bit! This place carries our hard work, sweat, joys and sorrows! So, so..."

  As he took off his glasses and put them on again, there was only firmness left in his eyes.

   "So, I'm old! I can't run anymore."

  "If I must die, I also want to die in my own homeland..."

  ···········

   "Roman,"

  Luffy in the cage pressed his straw hat, joking instead of normal.

   "Let's go back."

  He raised his head, only seriousness in his eyes! It's like changing someone.

   "I'm going to beat that red nose away!"

  What a wayward guy...

"as you wish,"

  Romain stood up and moved his muscles and bones a bit.

   "Captain."

   "Hey hey hey, you three young people should go for refuge~~" Looking at the three people who are going to'find someone for a film'...No, two people, the old mayor hurriedly persuaded them.

   "And one of you is locked in a cage—"

Snapped,

   Half-crouched Roman holds the iron pillar of the cage thick with his thumb in both hands, and then:

  噗呲,

  In an instant, Roman's arms were knotted with blue veins, and his muscles bulged up. The original loose sleeves were bursting apart! The two arm muscles full of muscular beauty rolled and snapped to the side.

  Crack—

  In the harsh metal sound, the sturdy steel cage bends and deforms in the hands of Roman abruptly! In the end, a large hole that was enough for a man to drill was revealed.

   "It's done."

   "Thanks, Roman!"

  Luffy, who is out of trouble, moves his shoulders, eagerly excited.

   "Let's go and beat that red nose and his men away!"

"Can."

  Boom,

  The old mayor in leather armor has been so scared that he sat on the ground! Obviously he is just a handsome and sunny boy who actually possesses the inhuman power of bending steel...

Amazing!

   And Nami on the other side once again got a deeper understanding of the boy named ‘Roman’. Such power is no longer inferior to those guys, right?

  If, if this person wearing a straw hat also has such power. Trick them to their hometown, maybe you can...

  However, Nami's eyes flashed as she watched the two unhappy "pirates" who were going to go back to the Bucky Pirates.

  The two pirates who are preparing for the "Knights Fighting Righteousness" are really stupid!

  Can't stand it...

"it is good!"

The old mayor next to    also felt that he had been ‘boiled for a long time’, “As the mayor, if I don’t protect the town, who will protect it? I’ll go too—”

  嘭,

  Unfortunately, before his rhetoric was uttered, Luffy held his head on the back of his head and hit the door of a nearby shop.

   Turned his eyes white and fainted on the spot.

   "Luffy, what are you doing?!"

  Before the fight started, the teammates sacrificed to the sky, and the girl named Nami instantly became angry! If it weren’t for Roman next, she would have this idiot with a straw hat taste her big fist of this disposable cup...

   "Haha, this is a battle between our pirates."

   Talking about Lu Fei, turning his head to look at the dog at the door of the next store, "Xiu Xiu, protect your master’s friend! Let’s do something serious—"

   "Bow!"

  "Do you think a dog can understand what you say?"

   "Haha, didn't the old man tell me, Xiuxiu is very smart..."

  The sound of Luffy and Nami bickering came from the side, and they didn't stop all the way, making Roman shook his head funny. This strange atmosphere is compared with the murderous spirit and greed that permeated before the battle:

Not bad.

  ————

   "Ha ha ha, I thought you had already run away."

  In front of the wreckage of the house in the middle of the town, a group of dark pirates faced the trio who came back here again, and their eyes were about to burst into flames!

   "Red nose,"

  Luffy took a step forward, rubbing his fists with interest.

   "I have decided, I will beat you up!"

  ———

  Deadly still!

Then:

   "Ah ah ah ah, what did you say, sombrero!"

  "Don’t you know that Captain Bucky hates his red nose the most?"

  "Yes, the red nose is a taboo for the captain. Once he hears this word, he will explode..."

   "And what's wrong with the red nose? Isn't that a nose? You are appearance discrimination—"

  ·············

  "Red nose, red nose, red nose..."

  Captain Bucky with his angry forehead and the appearance of a clown with bursting blue veins, waved his hands: puff puff puff puff, a few pirates who jumped up and down just now screamed immediately on the spot.

  "If you want to irritate me, your goal is achieved—"

  ! !

  A flame-like momentum blew across the battlefield, and the boy named Lu Fei looked at several pirates on the ground with knives in their backs. His face was full of anger.

  "Hurt your partner at will, someone like you—"

  咻—

  The figure flashed, he suddenly rushed to the clown Bucky, his clenched fist took the lead in attacking!

   "I don't deserve to be a captain!"
