The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Chapter 384: The battle of brothers confronts the heart

Chapter 384 The Battle of Brothers Faces the Heart

"All the partners are together again, then we will have a banquet—"

"wait,"

On the ruined cake island, Roman reached out and stopped Luffy preparing to ‘take the materials on the spot’, not to mention that it’s not the time to celebrate, just the cake buildings around here...

"This is just the illusion of the Red Earl, even if it is eaten exactly like the real cake food, but after the illusion is lifted, you are eating the soil..."

No, think about it carefully, can Luffy’s stomach easily digest even if it is dirt?

"Let me do it,"

Brin squatted down and put one hand on the ruins of Cake Island,

"Memory Clear!"

brush-

With Breen’s ability to activate the "fruit of memory", the surrounding scenery immediately shuddered like a mirage in the desert, and the huge cake buildings turned into pieces of moss-covered ruins. The bright sky has also recovered from the moonlight, and Luffy also:

"My cake~!"

"Brin, you pay me—"

"Hey, hey, hey...These are all fakes, Luffy. If you want cakes, I will make them for you and I and Sanji will cook them on the boat."

"Hee hee, that's all right~~"

"Anyway,"

Roman rubbed his temples to make plans for the Straw Hat regiment’s next move.

"Now that we have gathered all the people, we can choose to leave the boat directly regardless of the Red Earl's plans.-Anyway, we have nothing to lose. Strictly speaking, we have all gained a lot."

Originally, Earl Red had no malice against the Straw Hats. Otherwise, if he used the ‘fake companion’ yin in the first place to kill him, now there are only two people in the Straw Hats, Lu Fei and Roman.

By the way, Roman knows that because of the passive mind-reading relationship of Red Earl, the few people who can truly be called "friends" are Roger, Whitebeard, and Cap. And these older generations are basically inextricably related to the straw hat group, so:

"Hee hee, how can I just forget it?"

Luffy pressed the straw hat,

"Although the adventure tonight is quite interesting, there is still a grievance between us and the uncle. Phadong—"

Luffy looked at the little civet cat as tall as Chopper.

"Do you have something to tell your ‘Boss’? Until then, I won’t let you be my partner!"

"Hey... what I said to the boss..."

"By the way, although we played for half the night. But—"

Robin rests his chin,

"What is the purpose of the Red Earl? If we know the purpose, maybe we can be the first to arrange it."

"It's strange to say that there shouldn't be any conflict between us and the legendary pirate?"

Frankie also took the topic. As for Luffy, who jumped up and down next to him and yelled "I want to be the One Piece", that was of course the daily background board of the Straw Hats.

"No matter what his purpose is, don't you know if you find the other person and ask?"

Facing Sauron with a look of interest, Usopp pointed out his intentions sharply:

"Are you just excited about meeting the great swordsman, right?"

"The boss said he was here to find a'devil fruit'."

The little civet cat raised her head,

"Although I don’t know what fruit..."

"Thank you for telling us...but is it okay to tell us something so important?"

Faced with Brooke’s question, Patong shook his head.

"As long as I really want to be a partner, you will let me join, right?"

"In that case, I want to at least help everyone..."

"But, even if you know that Earl Red is looking for the Devil Fruit, we don't have any clues?"

Faced with the frowning Nami, Roman certainly couldn’t directly say, ‘I know what Red Earl is looking for: Animals·Bat Fruit·Ephemery Species·Vampire-shaped Devil Fruit' but spoke with a normal staff thinking:

"If you want to know what the devil fruit is, we continue to track the Red Earl is the easiest way.-Of course, I am still the old saying, we have nothing to lose, we can leave."

"Okay, it's so decided! Let's keep chasing!"

"I think you just want to continue the big adventure, right?"

Usopp clutched his chest,

"I got the'I cannot go to the island'..."

"Are we on the island now?"

Faced with Sanji’s complaints, Usopp immediately changed his words:

"I got the'I can't go deep into the island'..."

"We are now in the depths of the island."

The honest man is very flat, and Usopp burst into tears:

"Then I... I have the disease "Can’t get close to the Red Earl"..."

"Okay, your disease is too accurate, right?"

Roman rolled his eyes and pointed to the front:

"Everyone else is gone. If you don't want to move on, just stay here alone."

"Don't~~~ wait for me!"

Don’t blame Usopp’s “returning to the old”, it’s really just the kick and sword of the Red Earl before, and even the main force of the straw hat group can’t hold it. Usopp has a crispy skin...no, a meat ADC doesn’t want to be in vain. Hit it.

It's a pity that the group of enthusiastic guys in front did not take his words to heart.

———

"here it is?"

"do not know·····"

"I don't know either."

"Unknown scenery +1"

"It's weird, why don't all of us have an impression?"

Because the previous "levels" correspond to the events and powerful enemies experienced by the Straw Hats, basically you can see where it is at a glance, and you can immediately know who the "BOSS" you are going to deal with is, but only in front of you. Of this village:

It's just an ordinary village. Two or three-story wooden houses are sparsely scattered, fences are circled into pastures, and a winding dirt road that has been trampled through the village extends to the port.

If you want to say the only special thing, it is that there are several tall windmills in the village, which are slowly turning by the sea breeze.

"Ah! This is—"

"Luffy, you know here?"

Luffy nodded in surprise when facing everyone's gaze.

"Yes, this is the place where I grew up: the windmill village of the "Goya Kingdom" in the East China Sea."

Luffy took the crowd to ‘visit’ his hometown with emotion on his face. Although there were no relatives, he was talking about everything he was familiar with:

"This is the tavern of Sister Magino. I used to listen to pirates telling stories. Usopp's father **** Bu mentioned him every day..."

A small pub, but it carries Luffy’s dream when he was a child.

If there were no bragging adventure stories that the pirates were talking about, Luffy wouldn’t have thought of going out to sea, right?

"This pier...At that time, Shanks gave me this straw hat group here,"

Luffy took off the straw hat on his head and looked at the empty dock, showing a rare serious expression of nostalgia.

"I once said here that I want to gather a group of partners who will not lose to Shanks and find the world's number one treasure—"

The voice of the teenager with open arms echoed on the dock, just as it was in the past.

"I want to be One Piece!"

"So-"

Putting on a straw hat, Luffy turned his head and looked at the friends behind him with a smile.

"Friends, how do we compare to the "Four Emperors" now?"

······

"Should I talk about it?"

"One Piece, I only admit it is you!"

"We must be the number one pirate group in the world!"

"Of course, we are now aiming at this..."

Everyone standing here has no doubt that Luffy can climb to the top! Because of this, the top talents in various fields, even Roman is willing to board his ship. Although Luffy has a lot of ills, he has never wavered at all in his dedication to dreams and partners!

This:

is enough.

"Hehehe, next I will take you to visit my ‘home’ when I was a kid!"

As everyone climbed up the mountain next to Fengche Village along the lower road, Lu Fei introduced as he walked:

"This is'Gorbo Mountain', where I met Ace and Sabo for the first time."

Although it is just an ordinary hill, it is the happiest time of Luffy’s childhood. As well as the most naive dream, it was also at that time that Luffy made the promise to be the freest person in the world.

"Ace?"

Faced with the doubts of the little civet cat Patong, Chopper explained to him:

"Luffy’s brother, two years ago..."

"No, it's nothing."

As Luffy led the way, a group of people came to:

here it is?

Roman's eyes fell on a tree stump with three glasses of wine on it. In an instant, he thought of a possibility!

"Ah, this is where I became brothers with Ace and Sabo."

"Brother's worship wine?"

Facing Sauron’s emotion, Roman had already guessed:

"In other words, the opponent this time is—"

raised his head and looked at the tree trunk next to him. There is a small wooden house built between tree branches, of course more importantly:

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Luffy~"

"Ace?!"

As the others raised their heads, it was a man squatting on a tree trunk with his upper body shirtless. He pressed down the cowboy hat with the ‘smiley face’ and ‘sadness’ badges on his head, and a freckled face with a smile on his face.

"Cut, is the fruit still the same thing?"

Sanji snorted uncomfortably, even facing the four emperors, is it better than facing this?

"It doesn't look good if you don't fight, right?"

Facing Nami who opened the book, Ace next to the tree house nodded.

"Yes."

"Luffy,"

Nami, who was covered in thunder and lightning, was already thinking about how to deal with the "flame".

"Leave this one to us..."

"No, I will come."

"But···"

Nami who still wants to say something is pulled by Roman,

"Luffy said he will come, let him go."

And... the real Ace did not die. It was not that Roman wanted to hide it deliberately, but Ace asked Roman to keep it secret. But-it shouldn't be long before you can surprise Luffy?

Just when Roman was distracted, Ace on the tree had already jumped down, and while posing for an attacking posture, a raging flame was burning on his arms!

"I'm going on, Luffy!"

"Well, I won't lose to you."

Ace, even if I’ve never beaten you once before; but it’s different now, for my partner, for the dream of One Piece—

"Rubber Eagle Rifle!"

"fire punch!"

As the fists of the two brothers slammed into everything, Roman created a floating ‘platform’ to carry others up and retreat to watch the battle. After all, this is the forest... and Ace's ability is fire.

This start is not just as simple as ‘a fire on the mountain’, it’s a war of flames! Chi Yan is all over the sky! All of a sudden,'Ace' and Luffy were inextricably beaten in the flames. but:

"Luffy is going to win,"

In the new world battle, domineering is always a crucial part. The powerful armed color domineering can make people stand tall, the sensitive seeing and hearing color domineering can make people dodge attacks, discover the other party's intentions, and even:

Predict future····

"Great Yan Jie·Yan Di!"

Falling down in the fierce battle, Ace directly chose to leap to the high altitude to condense the ultimate move. A fireball as large as the second ‘sun’ appeared on the top of the mountain, radiating light and heat recklessly! Everyone in the straw hat group who was roasting far away watched the battle, all of their sweat evaporated as soon as they flowed out! Several furry tribes and animals all have their tongues on the ground...paper.

"Luffy, be careful!"

Faced with the huge fireball crashing down, Luffy instantly entered the fourth gear mode, and at the same time put on a fist without fear.

"bring it on-!"

"The rubber industry is a big snake!"

Boom—! !

Like the sun bursting, only the white light and crimson flames were left in the eyes of everyone watching the battle! The terrifying high temperature left patches of colorful colors in everyone's retinas, which could not disappear for a long time. Under this shocking impact, the entire ‘Gorbo Mountain’ has become the ‘Gorbo Basin’. And as the flames and smoke dispersed, the huge crater melted into magma:

"Luffy won."

The standing Luffy victor was undoubtedly standing, and Ace had fallen to the other side with his head down, and the huge pit behind him described the impact he had received.

"I do not understand····"

Little civet cat Patong looked at everything in front of him, of course not having doubts about the intensity of the battle, but:

"That person should be important to Luffy, right?"

"Why can he fight seriously..."

"It is because it is important,"

Roman let the paper platform slowly lower, while explaining casually.

"That's why we have to fight seriously. Don't the communication between men use fists to express?"

"Because it is important, do you take it seriously..."

"Don't always care about others, little Patong."

Nami knelt down and touched the head of the little civet cat,

"What about you? It doesn't matter if you are replaced by that kind of ‘duplicate’ next to important people?"

"Boss····Location beside him·······"
