Paper Fruit One Piece - Chapter 12
Chapter 12 The Dog and the Old Captain Showdown
“Huhuhuhu~~”
After rushing all the way, the three stopped on the street of the small town.
“Escape, escape…”
Facing 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, blame me for dragging you down…”
but:
This guy named Roman is so strong!
In the face of the infamous Buggy Pirates, it is not only invincible, but also beaten them. Moreover, one hand is holding himself, the other is carrying the big iron cage and the idiot ‘Captain’ inside, rushing all the way, without blushing or breathing.
Maybe, lie to this guy to deal with…
“Wow, look at this dog not moving.”
As soon as Luffy broke free from the rope while escaping, he started playing tricks again. ——This time, the object of his moles was 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!”
Stretching his arm out of the cage, his index finger and ring finger were inserted into 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 her 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.”
Then 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 treasures or nautical charts…”
“Haha, great.”
Luffy, who has been ‘hanging up’ in the cage, was elated, “This cage has hurt me miserably~~”
“Hmph, it’s not that you are stupid.”
Roman snorted silently, but for the sake of the other party’s “recruitment” to the navigator…
Pick up——
Guru~!
“Ahhhhh, dead dog, spit out the key to me!!”
?
“Luffy, tell me honestly, what you eat is sure to be rubber fruit, isn’t it the ‘Fool fruit’!?”
Not only lowers one’s IQ, but also lowers the IQ of surrounding creatures…
Roman rubbing his temples sighed.
“Very well, let’s eat dog meat and fire—”
“Hey!”
“You guys, don’t bully Chouchou~~”
An old man wearing leather armor, protective gear, a spear on his back, and glasses ran over angrily.
———————
“So, you are the mayor of this small town?”
“This dog is called Chouchou?”
“Then why is it squatting here~~” The old man sighed in response to the questions of the three Romans.
“This shop,” the old mayor pointed to the small shop behind him, “an old friend of mine opened it with Chouchou.”
“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 will stay here, waiting for his master to come back?” Facing Nami’s emotion, the old mayor smiled.
“No, Chouchou 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 said, the mayor was holding his forehead, his voice trembling.
“What a stupid dog!”
“Heh, uncle, do you almost do it?”
Leaning on the door of the small shop next to him, Roman holding his hands raised his eyelids, “You ran to check at this moment, wouldn’t you be able to let go of this small town?”
“After all, you are smarter than this dog and can’t go there~~”
“Ha ha,”
Facing Roman’s ‘sarcasm’, the old mayor smiled and shook his head.
“Yes, this town was built by us—a group of refugees whose homes were destroyed by pirates a little bit from the barren! This place carries our efforts, sweat, joys and sorrows! So, so…”
When he said that 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, laughing and joking instead of usual.
“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!”
What a wayward guy…
“As you wish,”
Roman 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 to start a film’… No, two people, the old mayor hurriedly persuaded them.
“And one of you is locked in a cage—”
Snapped,
Roman, who squatted down, held the iron post of the cage thick with his thumb in both hands, and then:
Puff,
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.
Kakaka——
In the harsh metal sound, the sturdy steel cage bends and deforms abruptly in Roman’s hands! In the end, a large hole that was enough for a man to drill was revealed.
“Finish.”
“Thanks, Roman!”
Luffy, who was out of trouble, moved his shoulders, a pair of eager excitement.
“Let’s beat that red nose and his men!”
“Can.”
Bang,
And the old mayor in leather armor was 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…
impressive!
On the other side, Nami once again had a deeper understanding of the boy named ‘Roman’. Such power is no longer inferior to those guys, right?
If, if this straw hat also has such power. Trick them to their hometown, maybe you can…
However, looking at the two unhappy ‘pirates’ who were going back to find the Buggy Pirates group, Nami’s eyes flashed.
The two pirates who are going to be “warriors and justice” are really stupid!
Can’t stand it…
“good!”
The old mayor next to him also felt his long-lost’blood boiled’, “As the mayor, who will protect the town if I don’t protect it? I’ll go too—”
Bang,
It’s a pity that he hadn’t uttered his rhetoric, he was hit by Luffy’s back of his head and hit the door of a small shop next to him.
Turning his eyes white, he 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.”
As Luffy said, turned his head and looked at the dog at the entrance of the shop next to him, “Chouchou, 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, Chouchou is very smart…”
Luffy and Nami squabble sounded from the side, and they didn’t stop along 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.
————————
“Hehehe, I thought you had already run away.”
In front of the wreckage of a house in the middle of the town, a group of dark pirates faced the trio who had returned here again, and their eyes were about to burst into flames!
“Red nose,”
Luffy took a step forward, rubbing his fists with interest.
“I’ve decided, I’m going to beat you up!”
——————
Dead!
Then:
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what did you say, boy with a straw hat!”
“Don’t you know that Captain Buggy 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 Buggy, who looked like a clown with bursting blue veins on his already angry forehead, waved his hands: Puff puff puff, a few pirates who jumped up and down just now screamed and immediately ‘pounced on the street’.
“If you want to irritate me, your goal will be—”
! ! !
A flame-like momentum blew across the battlefield, and the young man named Luffy 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—”
Swishhhh–
The figure flashed, and he suddenly rushed to the clown Buggy, his clenched fist took the lead in attacking!
“Not worthy to be a captain!”
