“1050,”

“1051,”

On the deck of the merchant ship, Luffy and Zoro, wearing paper bandages, were squatting with heavy weights on their backs. Nami, who was also doing exercises on the side...

"Why should I join too?"

Facing Nami who was crying, Roman, who was standing next to the rudder, raised his eyelids.

"You want to fight me, too?"

"If you beat me, don't listen to me-"

"Forget it, I practiced from the heart..."

Even the two violent tycoons Luffy and Zoro lost, and Nami felt that it would be better not to make things boring for themselves. However:

"Roman, don't you need to exercise?"

"Who said I didn't exercise?" Roman waved his hand, and on the rudder next to him, a pair of white 'paper hands' were driving the ship forward.

"I'm practicing the ability to fruit, if I can create a 'paper clone' that can move freely, it can greatly alleviate our shortcomings......"

Well, because many of Roman's ideas require precise "control", he is really "exercising".

"Roman, you can understand that you can slash me with a knife."

Luffy, who was once again wrapped in a ‘paper bandage’, was exercising while shouting.

"Why can the shield hurt me too~~"

"Is it the 'dominating' you said?"

"Dream," Roman complained that he couldn't, "If I could be domineering, I would have gone to the 'New World' to wander!"

"In my opinion, domineeringness is an extension of the 'soul'."

"The color of seeing and hearing represents 'perception', the color of armed represents 'will', and the color of overlord represents ... "Fate, energy, or something else... Roman shook his head, the playful intention was too mysterious, and he didn't know it.

"Anyway, I don't even know the specific training method of being domineering, so how could I use any 'arming color'."

As he said that, Roman reached out and summoned him, a white "paper hand" floated out of the cabin, holding a samurai sword in his hand. - It was not Zoro's heart-to-heart treasure, but the "cargo" of the merchant ship.

Although Roman and the others didn't care much, there was still a huge amount of wealth in the cabin below the deck: it was a box of swords and flintlocks!

"I just attached the tiny triangle 'paper' to the edge of the shield, just like I do now."

With Roman deliberately "magnification" ability, one by one, "jagged"-shaped paper appeared on the edge of his palm, pointing like a knife.

"Then, I'll let them move at high speed."

Buzz ~~~

In the low humming, these "serrated teeth" moved rapidly on Roman's body, forming a gray chain saw! Then he aimed at the samurai sword that floated in front of him, and his hand knife suddenly slashed.

clang!

Sparks splash, metal clanging.

The sheathed samurai sword was instantly divided into two!

"It depends on the ability of the fruit, and it cannot be considered a swordsman who kills the iron."

Faced with Zoro's unhappy words, Roman shrugged. "Please, I'm a fruit-powered person. I'm not a swordsman..."

If Luffy faces Roman's sword and shield, he is facing two high-speed chain saw swords! He is basically injured when touched and blood when touched. Not to mention fighting, he is extremely embarrassed just by dodging.

Then when Zoro faced Roman, he encountered an iron fortress. He made irons throughout the journey, continued to scrape, and finally got tired.

"If you can cut the steel, maybe you still have hope of victory."

But it is obvious that Zoro now does not have this strength.

Facing Roman, who was wearing "Paper Dance-Iron Armor" and carrying a shield, Zoro was helplessly knocked to the ground after cutting out the sky of Mars. - It's not completely broken, what should he use to fight?

Although as long as the strength is sufficient, even if the defense is not broken, it can "shock" people.

Although Zoro could barely break the "Paper Dance-Iron Armor" on Roman's body if he accumulates his energy and uses skills like "Ghost Slash", but...

Don't forget that even if you remove the fruit ability, Roman's own strength is not inferior to Zoro and Luffy! So the competition ended with the failure of the two of them, which was originally a natural thing.

Speaking of which, when dealing with a person with "full armor" with "full armor" ability, using heavy weapons will make the damage stronger. However, Roman is very agile, and the weight of the "armor" and "weapon" made of paper is almost zero, causing his speed to come and go like the wind.

Anyway, I am willing to accept the loss.

Luffy and Zoro had to start exercising in sweat, saying goodbye to the daily "talking" and making Roman much more purified.

—————

“It’s too hasty~~”

?

"This is a merchant ship,"

After taking a comfortable hot shower and removing all sweat, Nami, sitting on the paper chair, began to talk to Roman about business. As for Luffy and Zoro? She was already sleeping soundly on the deck next to her.

"Although this merchant ship is pretty good, it's still not suitable for sailing, right?"

As the name suggests, merchant ships are used to load cargo. They are large in size, high in stability, and have the disadvantages of slow speed and poor firepower. If you go to a great route, what you need is a ship that is light and fast, with a certain amount of long-range firepower, and can move forward and retreat freely while the enemy is watching.

"So, we need a professional ship. And-"

Nami, who wiped her hair with a towel, asked in confusion.

“Is it really good to waste fresh water like this?”

Hot water bathing and other things... It is an extremely luxurious thing for the crew of any nautical ship. Even if the merchant ship has a large load space...

"Ah, that, don't worry."

Roman waved his hand.

“I can provide large quantities of paper as 'fuel', and fresh water is just a product I filter out with seawater.”

"Hey, hey, hey?"

"Because my paper has the characteristics of a 'biological' to a certain extent, I can make these things as long as I want..." As he said that, a piece of white paper appeared in Roman's hand.

"With the cell wall function of a biological body, and then through the 'reverse osmosis principle', fresh water can be purified from seawater..."

"I'm sorry, I understand every word you said, but together-"

Nami, who was looking at her with a "unlearning" look, clenched her fists, so angry~~! If you and I have the strength to exchange, I must know what cruelty is!

"Anyway, just treat this as a fruit ability of mine."

Roman touched his chin.

"It's called 'Paper Dance-Purifying Water'."

·········

"Just be happy."

—————

"Back to the point, we'd better change a boat before we get on the great route."

Roman nodded in agreement with Nami's proposal. Just like the "Ride the Wind and Waves" he had stayed before, the Silver Light Pirates were able to escape danger several times, relying on the ship that could sail at high speed.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he was destroyed in the hands of his own people.

The ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Roman, which is also regarded as the last place of reunion for the "Silver Light Pirates".

"Well, our next destination is called 'Silob Village', and it's better to get a new ship there..."

Facing Nami who was looking at Nami seriously, Roma rubbed her eyebrows.

Silobu Village...

Usopp's hometown is also the acquisition location for the first ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, the Golden Melis. I remember that there was a pirate undercover agent known as the "Hundred Techniques" at Usopp's childhood sweetheart. What's the name...Nok? Or Clow?

Roman recalled for a long time, and only remembered that the other party had a signature move of pushing glasses with his palm, and a long sharp blade on his ten fingers... It seemed that he was probably just a miscellaneous fish.

Very good, just beat the other person away when you get there and get the ship reward...

etc!

Roman rubbed his temples, wondering if he had been with Luffy for a long time, his IQ dropped to such a level! How could there be such a simple and straightforward thing in the world? Running to beat someone up and get a reward... It's a game? And I remember it seemed that the other party was secretly chatting and was caught by Luffy and others...

Forget it, since you know who has a problem, it's very simple.
