Paper Fruit One Piece - Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Sea Restaurant
“985,”
“986,”
On the deck of the Going Merry, Luffy and Zoro groaned and squat with their weights on their backs. And Nami and…
“Why should I join?!”
Facing the tearful Usopp, Roman, who also exercised with weights on his back, raised his eyelids.
“Do you want to fight me too?”
“If you win against me, you don’t have to listen to me—”
“Forget it, I practice from the heart…”
…… Deja vu is back.
“Hahaha~~”
“Nami, what are you laughing at?”
“Sure enough, the proverb about ‘friends’ said it well:” Nami who was also exercising smiled at Usopp, who had cramps in her legs next to her, “I’m happy to hear that you are worse off than me.”
········
“This friendship is too realistic.”
However, it was useless to complain. After completing the training set by Roman, others still had the energy to talk and laugh. Poor Usopp didn’t even have the power to turn over.
“This is not the same as imagined…”
Pirate life shouldn’t be a banquet, carnival, storm, battle, etc…
“Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime.”
While turning the rudder of Going Merry, Roman raised his eyelids while controlling the two ‘paper arms’ to drive the merchant ship behind.
“Usopp, your stamina is only 0.8 Nami level, which I didn’t expect.”
“Hey, hey, what is 0.8 Nami level…”
Nami, who just took a shower and quit, when did she become a unit of physical fitness?
“Because your physical fitness can be regarded as the person who can best represent the average level of pirates here.”
Roman replied solemnly.
“Otherwise, how about I change it to 0.04 Luffy?”
“Forget it… it’s too shocking.”
“But it doesn’t matter, your potential should be more than that.”
Roman looked at Usopp.
“You should only have not gone through systematic exercise before, so you look like this… weak chicken. Start exercising now to develop your physical potential, I believe you will soon exceed 1 Nami level…”
“Enough, Roman! Don’t use me as a standard unit…”
——————
The days of sailing are not at all magnificent, nor are they gorgeous and exciting at all.
Most of the time it is an endless sea, without wind and waves and no other ships. And in order to prevent Luffy from playing treasures, Roman made a detailed exercise plan every day to eliminate their excess energy. but:
“I think we need a pirate flag.”
Facing Luffy’s serious proposal, other people, including Roman, also nodded in agreement.
How to say they now have as many as five members! It’s time to play your own banner!
“Swishhhhhh~~”
“How about this one I drew?”
········
How to say it, although it can be seen roughly as a skull and crossbones flag, but:
“This guy, you know at a glance that there is no artistic cell.”
This is Usopp who tells the truth.
“No, from a certain point of view… it can also be regarded as art.”
This is Nami with a thoughtful look.
“Pirate Flag is a symbol of deterrence…”
This is the speechless Zoro.
“This is not so much the Pirate Flag as it is kindergarten graffiti.”
Roman rubbed his temples. If he really hangs on this thing, he can laugh him to death without having to fight… No, think about it carefully. Maybe this is actually a strategy of Luffy?
Show the enemy to be weak…
No, no, Roman shook his head.
Usually Luffy should not have brain cells that can think about these things!
“Forget it, leave it to me like painting.”
As the only ‘artist’ among several people, Usopp took over the brush without letting it go. However:
It can’t be said that the painting is not good, but: a long-nosed skull with a slingshot on one side and a leg bone on the other. Even added a star special effect…
Bang! X2
“You painted this completely by yourself, right?”
Usopp, who was beaten by Luffy and Zoro at the same time, had to paint a new ‘Straw Hat Pirate Flag’, which made others look at him with admiration.
“It’s pretty good.”
“It’s hard to imagine, it’s the same pattern…”
A comparison with Luffy’s painting is simply the difference between a seller show and a buyer show.
“Hmph, I’m not only good at drawing, but also shooting-I can do a lot of shots with ease!”
After performing a cannon to blast off a small rock slope exposed in the distant sea:
“Very well, you will be the ‘sniper’ and the ‘painter’ on our ship from now on.”
Luffy waved his hand and gave Usopp two positions.
?
“Hey,”
Roman looked up at the paper cranes flying in the sky, and one of them flew over the small stone slope that had just been blasted by Usopp. After circling a few times:
“There is good news and bad news, do you want to hear that?”
? ?
“Bad news.”
Facing Luffy’s choice, Roman nodded.
“You just shelled the place where you passed. Someone is resting there. ——You hit passers-by.”
Ah this…
“What about the good news?”
Luffy and Usopp with a look of Spartan asked anxiously.
“The good news is that those two people don’t seem to be dead yet.”
——————
“Damn it, I lost a little bit…”
When Roman and the others turned to the past, a swordsman jumped out of the ruins of the stone slope, shouting to ‘kill for life’. It was turned over by Luffy with a trick…
“Yosaku, cheer up!”
After the other person was rescued, it was discovered that they were actually Zoro’s former “comrades”, and they were all his fan brothers, pirate hunters named Yosaku and Johnny. But now one of them was unharmed, and the other was pale, and the wound on his stomach was bleeding. but:
“Is this scurvy?”
It was not that Usopp’s shells wounded the opponent, but:
“What is scurvy?”
Faced with the question of the Luffy Usopp Zoro trio, Nami had to give them popular science:
“Scurvy is a disease caused by the lack of vitamin C in the human body. Long-term insufficient intake will increase the fragility of capillaries, causing bleeding under the skin and mucous membranes. It is medically called scurvy. All you need is… ”
“Just add this.”
Roman had already brought out a glass of orange juice and gave it to another hunter named Johnny, and asked him to feed it to the man named Yosaku.
“Fresh vegetables, oranges, lemons, etc. can all prevent Scurvy, but if the diet is unbalanced in the long-term sailing, it will be like this to him.”
Roman said and glanced at Luffy.
“Especially you, Luffy.-You only know when you eat meat. It’s not uncommon to get a bunch of strange diseases.”
Like this kind of guy, his previous life is definitely a model of the “three highs”!
“Speaking of which, I’m hungry…”
“Okay, I’m going to cook.”
Roman rolls his eyes. Although he can control the “paper hand” to cook while improving his fruit proficiency, he:
“Seriously, the number of times I cook during this time is almost the same as the previous generation…”
In the cabin restaurant, watching Luffy munching on the food he cooked–including Johnny and Yosaku who had just been rescued. Roman touched his chin and fell into doubt about his cooking again.
“good to eat!”
“I think even potato stew would be delicious, right?”
Roman didn’t want to listen to the opinions of these guys who all had a ‘steel stomach’, he tapped the plate with the knife and fork in his hand.
“I think we must recruit a professional chef.”
“A good cook can not only make delicious food, but also adjust the nutritional balance, and even use food to subtly strengthen the body strength of the eater…”
This is not a fantasy. In this magical world, many foods themselves have incredible powers, which can give people real power!
Devil fruit is one of the best.
“So, where can we find such a chef?”
Facing Zoro’s question, Roman pointed at Nami directly with the knife and fork in his hand.
“Of course we have to ask the person who has the most sailing experience,”
“As someone who has been active in the East Sea all year round, Nami should know that there are chefs there, right?”
“Knowing is knowing, but—”
Nami who wiped her mouth with a napkin thought for a while, took out a chart and spread it out. And point to a piece of sea.
“On our route slightly northerly,”
“There is a famous ship in this sea area called ‘Baratie Sea Restaurant’.-If you need a chef, you can go there and have a look. But I don’t know if others are willing to board the ship.”
As she said, Nami’s fingers paused.
On the land next to the sea, there is this humble village:
Cocoyasi.
How fast, the happy journey is coming to an end…
