Paper Fruit One Piece - Chapter 19
Chapter 19 The Fierce Situation Is Revealed
“Uh, I apologize to you for what happened before.”
By the woods on the edge of the town,
Roman clasped his hands together and expressed serious apologies to Usopp who was downcast.
“Let me heal your injuries as a plea. But—”
“What I said before was not a joke. The butler next to Miss Keya is the ‘Hundred Plan’ Kuro herself. It is normal for Miss Keya to suddenly ‘death’ suddenly if someone like him stays with him.”
Perhaps because of the long stay with Luffy and the others, Roman also gradually became accustomed to jokes. But this is not the time to be funny, because:
“No one believes me… Everyone…”
Usopp, holding the wanted warrant, stood in front of the Roman, holding back tears in his eyes! There was also a shot in the arm, but it was all right after Roman’s ‘paper knife’ cleaned up the wound and then wrapped it with a ‘paper bandage’.
“Even Keya…”
“Okay, Usopp.” Nami, who couldn’t stand it, comforted the other person. “Maybe it’s just Roman made a mistake; maybe that Captain Kuro really changed his mind to righteousness…”
Poor Usopp, because he usually tells too many lies, this time he said the ‘truth’ but no one believed it. Even if he was holding Kuro’s wanted warrant, he was angrily accused of ‘unscrupulous’ to frame the opponent.
Well, that’s right.
Although the young man named Usopp tells lies, he actually has three specialties: shooting, engineering, and art.
That wanted order was mistaken for him to’draw’ it…
With this specialty, just being a painter can easily get rich.
“Actually, it’s easy to prove whether that’s the real Captain Kuro.”
Roman on the side clapped his hands, attracting the attention of several people.
“I’ll just slash him.”
The captain of the Black Cat Pirates must be the one who can escape Roman’s sword; as for the one who can’t escape…
“Don’t worry, trust my technique.-There will never be an oolong like hacking people to death.”
“Hey hey hey, you said ‘hack to death’ right…”
“Then what can you do?”
Facing the problem that Roman threw back, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, including Usopp all shook their heads. ——Even if the butler is really a cruel pirate, who would believe what the few people were saying?
What they are facing now is not a problem that can be solved by beating, hacking, stealing, and deceiving people…
“Then… we don’t care about this matter?”
“Absolutely not!”
Facing Luffy who refused without hesitation, Roman spread his hands, “So, you can’t think of a way, and you have to take care of this matter. It’s better to:”
“Listen to me.”

“Usopp is really…”
In the backyard of the mansion, on the bed by the window, Keya, a weak girl who could only stay in bed for a long time because of illness, opened the book in her hand, but couldn’t enter a line.
“Why Klahadore is a pirate, and vowed to take out the ‘wanted warrant’…”
“This joke is too much!”
However, thinking back to the teenager who kept telling stories every day to unravel her, the anger on the girl’s face gradually disappeared and turned into a warm smile.
“…Well, if Usopp can apologize to Klahadore, I will forgive–”
“Kaya,”
A familiar voice reminded the girl who was suffering from gains and losses. She turned to look at the boy with her head down outside the window, and put down her book in surprise.
“Usopp? Your injury… cough cough,”
The girl who realized that she had acted too ‘happy’ with a stern face, seriously admonished:
“I know your relationship with Klahadore is not good… but you shouldn’t be like this…”
“Good noon, Miss Keya.”
A voice interrupted the weak girl’s words, and Roman with a smile on his face stood beside Usopp with his head down.
“You are…..”
“My name is Roman,” the handsome boy introduced himself, “Tokevich Roman.”
“It’s a pirate.”
?
“what·······”
“Then, Miss Kaya.”
Roman raised his hand, and sheets of white paper fluttered in his palm.
“Please cooperate,”
“It’s kidnapping time!”
———————
The butler named Klahadore has his own separate room. Today, Usopp made a fuss with his own ‘wanted notice’, and later discovered that the powerful group of pirates was still wandering in this small town. It made him feel a little anxious.
Or, postpone the action?
Bang!
“It’s not good, Klahadore!”
The door was pushed abruptly, and a housekeeper with sheep-shaped hair rushed in anxiously. ——He is another steward of this house, named Melly.
“Miss Kaya was kidnapped!”
?
“what?!”
Known as Klahadore, Kuro, who is actually the captain of the Black Cat Pirates (formerly), suddenly stood up! Seeing that his plan is about to be realized, the opportunity to cut off the past to become a respected gentleman is at your fingertips, unexpectedly—
“what is the problem?”
Merry, who was picked up by him, thought that this ‘colleague’ was just a simple caring lady, and immediately said everything:
“It’s Usopp!”
“He colluded with the foreign pirates and kidnapped Miss Keya, and asked us to prepare a ransom—”
Snapped,
A handful of the housekeeper named Merry left aside, and the anxious Kuro turned around and grabbed a long and narrow handbag in the room and strode out! ——Of course he is not worried about the owner here: Miss Keya, but:
Damn, you must find the pirates first!
Otherwise, if someone else finds it first, maybe all the property here will be exchanged for that sickly waste!
Galloping out,
However, after all, this is a small town where people come and go. No matter how anxious it is, the man named Kuro has to slow down, in words like ‘Mr. Klahadore’, Mr. Butler, where are you going…’ Zhong followed silently all the way. so:
Only then did the butler Merry, who was behind him desperately chasing after him, a target.
——————
“Miss Kaya.”
“Please don’t get excited, it will be bad for your health.”
In a clearing in the woods, Miss Kaya was tied to a chair by a long strip of paper, with a paper tape on her mouth. Facing Roman’s words, the girl didn’t feel scared, but looked at Usopp, who squinted her face and dared not look at her, with heart-ache in her eyes.
Next to him were Luffy wearing the captain’s coat, Nami wearing a blindfold, and Zoro wiping the samurai sword. Coupled with Roman with a cold smile on his face, the breath of ‘pirate’ came to his face!
“Relax, we just need a boat.”
Roman, who played the “bad guy” in his true colors, sneered at the fragile girl Kaya with a sneer while folding a white paper origami crane.
“When we receive the ransom, we will naturally release you.”
“Roman…”
“Don’t talk!”
Turning his head and glaring at Luffy, who put on a bitter face, Roman was afraid that when this guy opened his mouth, the serious atmosphere would disappear immediately.
·········
“coming.”
It didn’t take long for Roman to fold the paper crane in his hand, and a figure had already passed through the woods and came to this clearing.
It was a man in a suit. He was wearing a big back, glasses, and a suit. The pattern on his clothes seemed to be… stool. He carried a long and narrow handbag in one hand, and held the glasses with his wrist in the other.
“Miss Kaya! I’ll save—”
“Klahadore… no, Captain Kuro.”
Roman waved his hand to interrupt the other party’s ‘performance’,-being able to find here so quickly shows that the other party is agile and good at tracking! But now with this heavy pace, the look of breathlessness…
What about a liar?
“Although I am very curious that you, a pirate captain, can live in such a small place in seclusion, but:”
“One hundred million Baileys,” Roman stretched out a finger and shook it, “As long as you take out the money, we will assume that nothing has happened. At the same time:”
The other hand flipped the wrist, and the paper crane in his hand turned into a dagger like magic.
“Release your lady.”
The dagger in Roman’s hand was placed next to the slender neck of a young girl named Kaya, causing Usopp on the other side to almost take out a weapon and aim at him.
Quiet–
The face of the man who had been ‘excited’ just now turned into a gloomy expression.
“Hey? What does Captain Kuro mean, reluctant to—”
“Wait, wait a minute!”
“Ha ha ha ha····”
At this moment, a man with sheep hair ran over, also wearing a suit. At first glance, it is like a housekeeper for a big family.
“Please don’t hurt Miss Kaya,”
The panting sheep-headed man leaned on his knees and eagerly looked at the group of ‘kidnappers’ like Roman, and even the ‘accomplice’ Usopp on the side ignored him.
“Please give me some time, whether we sell the property or borrow usury, 100 million Baileys, we will definitely—”
puff! !
However, this loyal sheep steward hadn’t finished speaking, a few lights flashed, and he threw blood in his chest to the ground! The attacker is:
“Those are all my money,”
I don’t know when he take out the weapon in the handbag, the butler with glasses on his hand,-Captain Kuro raised his head. There is only endless indifference and murderousness in his eyes!
“Who allowed you to save that trash, eh?”
