Paper Fruit One Piece - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Exercise in Syrup Village
“1050,”
“1051,”
On the deck of the merchant ship, Luffy and Zoro, wrapped in a paper bandage, hummed and squat with their heads on their backs. And Nami who is also exercising…
“Why should I join?!”
Facing the tearful Nami, Roman standing by the rudder raised his eyes.
“Do you want to fight me too?”
“If you win against me, you don’t have to listen to me—”
“Forget it, I practice…”
Even Luffy and Zoro both lost the violent maniacs, and Nami felt that she had better not ask herself to be boring. but:
“Roman, don’t you need to exercise?”
“Who said I didn’t exercise?” Roman waved his hand. On the rudder next to him, a pair of white ‘paper hands’ were driving the boat forward.
“I’m exercising fruit ability. If I can create a free-moving ‘paper clone’, we can greatly alleviate the shortcomings of our shortage of manpower…”
Well, because many of Roman’s ideas require precise ‘control’, he is really ‘training’ now.
“Roman, you can cut me with a knife, understandable.”
Luffy, who was wrapped in a ‘paper bandage’ again, yelled while exercising.
“Why can shields hurt me~~”
“Is it the ‘Haki’ you said?”
“Dreaming,” Roman couldn’t complain, “If I could use Haki, I would have gone to the ‘new world’ long ago!”
“In my opinion, Haki is an extension of ‘soul’.”
“Observation Haki represents ‘perception’, Armament Haki represents ‘will’, and Conqueror Haki represents…” Fate? Luck? Or something else… Roman shook his head, the thing was so mysterious, he didn’t know.
“In short, I don’t even know the specific exercise method of Haki, how can I use Armament Haki.”
As Roman stretched out his hand and called, a white ‘paper hand’ floated out of the cabin, holding a sword in his hand. ——Not Zoro’s darling, but the ‘cargo’ of this merchant ship.
Although Romans didn’t care much, but in the cabin under the deck, there was still a huge fortune: it was boxes of swords and flintlocks!
“I just attached the tiny triangle ‘paper’ to the edge of the shield, just like I do now.”
As Roman deliberately ‘zoomed in’ his ability, a piece of paper with a sawtooth shape appeared on the edge of his palm that pointed like a knife.
“Then I let them move at high speed.”
Buzzing~~~
In the deep buzzing, these ‘sawtooths’ moved quickly on Roman’s body, forming a gray chain saw! Then he aimed at the samurai sword floating in front of him, and the hand sword slammed down.
Cang!
Sparks flew, metal clang.
The sheath of the samurai sword was split into two instantly!
“Cut, relying on the ability of the fruit, it’s not an real swordsman.”
Facing Zoro’s unhappy words, Roman shrugged. “Please, I am a fruit-powered person. I am not a swordsman…”
If Luffy faces Roman’s sword and shield, he is facing two high-speed cutting chain saw swords! Basically, it hurts when it touches it. Not to mention fighting, it’s extremely embarrassing just to dodge.
So when Zoro faced Roman, he encountered a steel fortress. Strike the iron throughout the whole process, continue to scrape, and finally get down on the ground.
“If you can cut through the steel, maybe you still have hope of victory.”
But it is obvious that Zoro does not have this strength now.
Facing Roman, who was wearing ‘Paper Dance-Iron Armor’ and carrying a shield at the same time, Zoro was helplessly knocked to the ground after cutting out the sky full of sparks. ——Doesn’t break the defense at all, what do you use to fight it?
Although it is said that as long as the strength is enough, even if it does not break the defense, it can ‘shock’ people.
Although Zoro can barely break through the ‘Paper Dance-Iron Armor’ on Roman’s body if he uses skills such as ‘Demon Slash’ to accumulate his power, but…
Don’t forget, even if the fruit ability is removed, Roman’s own strength is not under Zoro and Luffy! So the discussion ended in the failure of the two of them, which was originally a matter of course.
Speaking of which, when dealing with Romans with this kind of ‘full-body armor’ ability, using heavy weapons instead hurts more. But Roman is already very agile, and the weight of the paper “armor” and “weapon” is almost zero, which makes his speed really come and go like wind.
In short, I am willing to bet.
Luffy and Zoro had to sweat and start to exercise, bid farewell to the daily “treasure play”, so that Roman cleaned up a lot.
——————
“Too sloppy~~”
?
“This is a merchant ship, right?”
After taking a hot bath comfortably, I got rid of all the sweat. Nami sitting on the paper chair began to talk business to Roman. ——As for Luffy and Zoro? Already asleep on the side deck.
“Although this merchant ship is not bad, it is not suitable for sailing, right?”
As the name suggests, merchant ships are used to carry cargo. It has the shortcomings of slow speed and poor firepower while being large in size and high in stability. And if you go to a great route, what you need is a ship that is light and fast, has a certain amount of long-range firepower, and can move forward and backward freely in the eyes of a group of enemies.
“So, we need a professional boat. And—”
Nami asked suspiciously, wiping her hair with a towel.
“Is it really good to waste fresh water like this?”
Hot water bathing or something… is an extremely luxurious thing for the crew of any sailing vessel. Even if the cargo space of this merchant ship is large enough…
“Ah, that, don’t worry.”
Roman waved his hand.
“I can provide a large amount of paper as a ‘fuel’, and fresh water is only the product I filter out with seawater.”
“Hey, hey, hey?”
“Because my paper has the characteristics of ‘biology’ to a certain extent, so as long as I want to, I can make these things…” A blank piece of paper emerged in Roman’s hand.
“With biological cell wall function, and then through the ‘reverse osmosis principle’, fresh water can be purified from seawater…”
“I’m sorry, I understand any word you say, but all together—”
Nami, who was looked up and down by Roman with an ‘unlearning and skillless’ eyes, clenched her fists, so angry~~! If you and I exchange strengths, I must tell you what cruelty is!
“Anyway, you can just treat this as one of my fruit capabilities.”
Roman touched his chin.
“Just call it ‘Paper Dance-Water Purification’.”
·········
“As long as you are happy.”

“Close to the subject, we’d better change another boat before entering the Grand Line.”
For Nami’s proposal, Roman still nodded in favor. Just like the “Windbreaker” that he had stayed in before, the Silver Light Pirates group was able to turn the dangers into peace several times, all relying on the ship that could sail at high speed.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he was finally destroyed in his own hands.
That ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Roman, and it was considered the last reunion place of the Silver Light Pirates.
“Well, our next destination is called ‘Syrup Village’, and it’s best to get a new boat there…”
Facing Nami who was looking at the chart seriously, Roman rubbed his brows.
Syrup Village…
Usopp’s hometown is also the place where the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Golding Merry, was acquired. I remember that Usopp’s childhood sweetheart had a pirate undercover called “Hundred plan” in the house. What was his name… Knock? Or is it Crowe?
Roman recalled for a long time, only remembering that the other party had a signature action of pushing the glasses with his palm, and the long sharp blades on ten fingers… It seemed that it was just a trash fish.
Very good, when you get there, just hit the opponent and get the boat reward…
Roman rubbed his temples, wondering if he had been with Luffy for a long time, and his IQ had plummeted to such a point! How can there be such a simple and straightforward thing in the world? Run to beat people and get rewards… what about playing games? And remember that it seems that the other party’s secret conversation was hit by Luffy and others, just…
Forget it, since you know who has the problem, it’s very simple.
Roman’s eyes flickered, being a “bad guy”, he can’t be the best~~
