The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

  Chapter 393 The fish leaped over the dragon gate to fulfill the promise

   "Wow, the ‘painting style’ here is different..."

  Looking at the slender mountains full of oriental styles and the welcoming pine in the rooted rocks in the sea in front of him, Roman had an illusion that he had come to a scenic spot in his previous life for a while.

  —If it weren't for the undulating waves rolling under his feet, Roman would really like to continue to enjoy the scenery here.

   "There is no such landform as a'coast' in Wano country."

  Jinpei, who is at the helm, introduced. After all, with his relationship with the White Beard Pirates, and the experience of joining the BIGMOM Pirates, he would not have no idea about the lair where Kaido, one of the four emperors, is located.

"Simply speaking, Wano country is a country on the top of a'high mountain', surrounded by a ring of towering cliffs. You must go upstream through a specific'waterfall' to enter the'inner sea' of Wano country, and then you can... ··"

   "Hey? Isn't this the same as the "Upside Down Mountain" entering the great route?"

  Facing Luffy, Jinhei hasn't answered yet. Roman next to him waved his hand at a lifelike hot pot model appeared on the deck.

"In general, the landform of the'Kuni of Wano' is like this. The surrounding is a circle of tall cliffs that protect Wano's country, but also make it very difficult for them to communicate with other countries. Normal ships can only pass through. Enter from the waterfall that flows down from above—"

  Of course, Kaido’s pirate regiment built a vertical up and down take-off and landing machine somewhere on the cliff, but with its toes, it’s impossible to ‘lend’ it to the straw hat regiment.

  While talking about Roman, he pointed to the waterfall that appeared in front of the mountain. It was filled with layers of water falling in an oriental style, and inside it was:

   "Wow! What a big school of fish—"

  Excited Luffy pounced on the side of the ship, watching the fish in the sea below that were rushing towards the waterfall and then upstream. But Roman looked at these big fishes courageously with nostalgia.

  "These are carps,"

  "Fish leaped over the Dragon Gate, the sea and the sky are wide, the tigers roar, the clouds and the mountains sway."

  "Unfortunately, there are difficulties in this world that are so easy to break through. Even if you swim in the sea above, it is impossible to change into a dragon..."

   "Roman, you're saying something you don't understand again, but—"

   "Sanji, is carp delicious?"

   Facing Luffy who turned his head, Sanji lit a cigarette.

"It's delicious, whether it's the'washed carp' that is cut into slices and repeatedly moisturized with cold and hot water; or the carefully boiled'carp soup'; or fried and sweet stew are very delicious, but... "

  After drooling the saliva that Luffy said, Sanji's conversation took a turn:

  "Carps are freshwater fish, why can they live in the sea?"

   "It's too rigid, cook." Since Brin joined, although Sauron didn't have a name such as a ‘color kappa’, but the habit of playing with Sanji seemed to be unchangeable.

  "These carps are already bigger than our boats. Is it necessary to entangle their ecological problems? Why—"

With a sound, Sauron ejected the autumn water from his waist with his thumb.

  "Let’s catch one..."

  "Forget it, these are koi fishes with extremely long lifespans and auspicious meanings. According to legend, they can bring good luck to people. In general, they are used as ornamental fish rather than food fish..."

   "Wow, Mr. Roman knows so much!-it seems there is nothing you don't understand."

   Facing the twinkling-eyed Garlott, Roman shook his head.

   "I don't know everything... Forget it, let's not talk about it yet."

As the Sunshine Meri approached Wano country, even with Shipei as the helmsman and Nami as the navigator, they are still swaying in the volatile ocean currents, and if you want to go upstream, you must rely on those The power of koi. so:

  "There are two plans: The first is to fly over the waterfall with the carps. This requires everyone’s cooperation and is quite difficult. In the second case, Nami and I will directly launch the ‘floating ability’ to let the boat fly—"

   "The first one!"

  Luffy raised his hand high, indicating that he was in favor of the first plan of ‘difficult’, and the others—

   "Very good, no one objected! So be it."

  ? !

  We didn’t have time to express our opinions at all!

  "Don't Luffy~~"

   "Isn't it good to fly up honestly?"

  "Captain, I want to live..."

  Usopp, Chopper, and Sonny hugged Luffy’s thighs and wept bitterly. There is a simple second option, why do you have to increase the difficulty? ! Although the others didn't say anything, they all moved lightly to the side of the ship, looking like they were ready to "abandon the ship" to escape at any time.

  Upside-down Mountain is just a forty-five-degree slope. The one in front of you is directly ninety-degrees.

   "Don't panic,"

  Roman clapped his hands and gathered everyone's eyes.

   "Let’s follow the first plan chosen by Luffy, anyway, if there is an accident, I will directly activate the ability to take everyone up."

   "Oh, that's okay~~~"

   "Ooooooo, the sea below has become clear and transparent, and even the carps are clear."

   "So, is the waterfall above fresh water? These golden fish look really beautiful, no wonder they are used as ornamental fish."

  After Roman promised that ‘everything is with me’, a group of people immediately watched the koi fish in the sea with great interest. Even Sonny rushed to Melly’s side, feeling that he also had the experience of flying.

  "Don’t be idle, go and clean up the things in your room. After a while, our boat will climb the waterfall. It is easy to damage if there is no fixed item!"

  Although the things on the ship were originally not fixed and anti-falling, no one would deliberately make things so that they would not move even when climbing a 90 degree slope. So after rushing a group of guys watching the scenery to reinforce the things in the room, Roman looked in the direction of the rudder:

   "Jin Ping, I will leave the helm to you."

"no problem,"

   Jinping’s stubborn character made Roman very relieved, but another person:

"Luffy, your job for a while is to grab the carp in front of you with your arm, and let them take our boat upstream. — After all, the Sunshine Merley did not make special'flying' modifications, and did not go upstream. capable."

  Of course, Roman can also make one immediately with the ability of paper and paper. but:

  It’s like taking off your pants and farting. It’s not as simple as launching the ‘Fluttering Ability’ to fly up.

   "Hee hee, leave it to me!"

   "Well, it's up to you."

  As everyone cleaned up the things in the room, a group of people stood on the deck waiting for the'fishing over the dragon gate'. Since there is Roman as a guarantee, such an experience should not be missed—

  "Rubber·Double Carp Car!"

  As Luffy's extended arms grabbed two carps, the Sunshine Merley was pulled up all the way up the current. And all the bounty on the deck was over 100 million yuan...Although Brin didn't have a bounty, she had Gentleman Sanji's arms around her. so:

   "Wow, we are really climbing."

  "Following Luffy feels always a novel adventure..."

   "Hee hee, isn't it? This is like an adventure~~"

   "It would be nice if there were fewer fights,"

  Faced with Garrott’s emotion, Roman rolled his eyes on the deck with his arms ‘standing’ at ninety degrees against the waterfall.

  Dreaming, the next step is to fight the ‘Beast’ Kaido group. There were a bunch of animals on the other side, all of them were glass...ahem, meat shield warrior. Don't even think about taking a break if you don't stay overnight.

fly!

   "It's coming up—"

  "Hey, hey, there is a countercurrent vortex ahead..."

Snapped,

  "Fluttering·Floating Sunshine Meri!"

With Roman slapped his hands, the'Sunshine Meri', which was about to fall into the large vortex in front of the waterfall, suddenly shook, and instantly said goodbye to Newton, and then floated out of thin air on the sea, making Lu Fei dissatisfied. Grumbled.

   "This is not sailing at all,"

   "No, no, Captain Luffy."

   "Of course it's sailing—we said..."

  Sony and Melly, who are the incarnations of ships, held Luffy from one side to the other, lest he want to do something unexpectedly. And Jinpei had already turned the sail under Nami's command, and then drove to the distant shore driven by the summoned breeze.

  In the surrounding circle of huge rocky cliffs is an ‘inner sea’, and there are two islands above the inner sea, the larger one is the ‘country of Japan’, and the smaller one is the ‘ghost island’ of Kaido’s nest.

  Therefore, there is a basis for Romans to say that ‘the country of Hwa’ is like a hot pot.

   "There are six areas in the country of Hezhi, namely: Guri, Ximei, Rabbit Bowl, Linghou, Baiwu, and Flower City."

  "The place where we are is located at the bottom left of Kuri Kuni Kuni..."

  'S release of the white dove allowed Romain to have a panoramic view of this piece of oriental style, and also determined the location of the straw hat group. -anyway:

  This architectural pattern, and those that are peach blossoms, not cherry blossoms, how do you feel that this ‘country of Hezhi’ is full of the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty? ·····Forget it, seriously speaking, isn’t the architectural style of Fusang the style of Tang.

  And because there is no foreign enemy, there is no need for the representative Hirayama Castle to exist. It seems:

   "It's more like'Little Chang'an'~~"

   "Roman, what are you whispering? I'm leaving first—"

  ? !

  When Roman came back to his senses, there were only distant black spots in his eyes.

  Luffy can’t wait for a trick, ‘Rubber Rocket’, to preemptively land and venture, and Roman, who is used to it, doesn’t want to care about him anymore.

  After all, he also has things to do.

   "Nami, follow my guidance," a white dove flew in front of the ship to guide the direction, "there is a good mooring point over there, stop the Sunshine Meri there first."

   And Roman closed his eyes and entered the ‘hook-up’ state.

  ——

  On another island in the great route:

  This is a town. Although life is not rich, ordinary people are already satisfied. At least there is no need to worry about when you will be looted and killed suddenly by pirates, because the flags of the pirates group stationed outside the town:

  It is a cross skull banner, and the huge crescent beard shows the power it represents:

  The White Beard Pirates!

   "What is Blackbeard doing lately?"

  In the lobby of the tallest building, facing the problem of the man in the white suit and white mask. The figure is short and round, and his hair is quite similar to Moria's garlic head. The number symbolizing Team 8 is printed on the left side of his neck. Namur, the shark murloc captain wearing a blue-sleeved white shirt, stepped forward to answer.

   "Large mass assembly!"

   "The bastard's Pirate Group has not changed, but I found that his elite troops are gathering quietly, it should be a big move!"

   "Do you want to attack us again?"

   "Let them come! I'm afraid he won't make it—"

  "Don’t make any noise, everyone knows the strength of the traitor Titch, and impulse won’t help..."

   "What kind of action will it be?"

  Amidst the clamor of other captains, Margau rubbed his brows, and the White Beard Pirates wanted to say that they would lift their swords and cut people, so that everyone would fight for the first place! But to come up with a plan...think carefully, they used to rely too much on the protection of their father.

   "Esa, what do you think?"

  As Margau looked at the man in the main seat, the masked white-bearded deputy captain ‘Essa’ pointed his finger on the table. He only knew the weight of ‘responsibility’ since he started to lead the White Beard Pirates! A word of his own will affect the lives of hundreds of brothers, so he can’t help but be cautious—

  ? !

  Pala la~~

  With the sound of flapping wings, a white dove flew in.

   "Ace,"

  The white pigeon vomited, and he still used the real name of the man sitting on the main seat.

   "The time has come to fulfill your promise."
