"Nami,"

On the deck of the Golden Melis on the great route, Roman, who was at the helm, told Nami next to him.

"My fruit capability development has recently fallen into a bottleneck and needs to enter the 'deep development' mode to seek breakthroughs......"

Roman didn't blink a moment when he was seriously irrelevantly ignorant.

"So I'll fall into a 'stagnant' state, which shows that it's loss of active stress, most of the sensory functions are turned off, and............."

"Okay," looking at Nami's expression, Roman decided to use a simple example to illustrate.

"Just think I'm the White Knight."

The White Knight is a skill developed by Roman during this period. It uses paper to form a puppet, can do most of the miscellaneous tasks, have a certain combat power, and:

Low-level intelligence that does whatever you let it do.

"this······"

"Anyway, everything is similar to usual. If there is any danger, just wake me up with a 'code'."

As he said that, Roman's eyes darkened and instantly changed from sharp and agile to absent-minded, as if he was really a "puppet".

Of course, only by your companions can you dare to play this dangerous behavior of the subject 'hang up'. As for Roman's 'spirit'...

—————

"Gol D. Roger?"

Kurokas looked at Roman, who controlled the puppet "White Knight", and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"You know a lot, young people."

It is intriguing that the One Piece in Roman's mouth is "Gol D. Roger" instead of "Goldordo Roger".

Don’t look at this small difference. For some reasons, the world government has long made many changes to One Piece Roger’s past, the biggest one is that it hides the ‘D’ in his name.

So in the eyes of most people, One Piece is ‘Goldor Roger’! Those who know his real name will never be ordinary people-

"Senior, I just read more 'idle books' than others......"

As the old man named Kurokas slowly approached, cracks began to appear on the body of "Roman" out of thin air, and some places even turned into white paper, as if they were about to collapse!

really.

"Senior Kurokas, I am not trying to keep this puppet, nor do I want to threaten you."

Roman quickly expressed his intentions.

"I just want to make a deal with my senior!"

Kark,

As the old man walked step by step, Roman's puppet with the "White Knight" as the core suddenly faded out of thin air, his whole body was wrinkled and almost finished! Fortunately, the other party slowly put away his terrifying momentum.

"trade?"

"Yes," as long as you don't take action immediately, but enter the 'conversation' stage, Roman will have the confidence to convince the other party!

After all, many of the "secrets" in this world are not secrets to him.

"for example:"

"The whereabouts of the rumba pirates."

——Press!!

Click,

"Roman" seemed to be hit by a stamper! It instantly turned into a pile of "round cakes"-shaped paper balls, but fortunately this was something made by his fruit ability. And although the old man Kurokas's momentum was amazing and even turned into a physical attack, it was not an unreasonable "overlord domineering aura" after all, and it would not hurt Roman who was far away on the Golden Melis.

"Old senior, I said it."

Roman's voice came clearly in the paper ball.

"I am not an enemy of you, nor is I a threat to threaten and intimidate..."

"Let me do this, let me express my sincerity first: the rumba pirates were not wiped out!"

··········

As soon as he withdrew his momentum, the old man named Kurokas seemed to have become the ordinary old man who read newspapers and basked in the sun again. However, there was no need for him to continue disguising himself in front of Roman, but he just uttered a word coldly.

"explain."

Hurry~~~

The paper balls on the ground flew up one after another, assembled into the shape of "Roman".

This is also the reason why he came with a "puppet". As the weak, he would not, nor could he be so reckless.

"The Lumba Pirates. The West Sea Pirates, led by Captain 'Babe Yankee' Uchi, is full of cowboy style. The members are good at playing musical instruments and were annihilated by other pirates in the Devil's Triangle 50 years ago. The Pirate Flag is a skull with cow horns......"

As Roman slowly said, Kurokas's hands behind his back couldn't help but clenched subconsciously! He thought he had already taken the same leave as life and death, but when he learned the exact news of his friends' death, he couldn't help but feel a suffocation.

"But, this pirate group was not completely destroyed!"

"One of them, named Brooke, had eaten a devil fruit called 'Yellow Fruit' before that,"

"This fruit has no effect during his lifetime, it just makes people turn into a land duck that cannot go into the sea. But when a person dies-"

The ability of this fruit will be activated.

"That's to bring people back from the dead!"

What a despicable ability this is! I believe that if the world government knows, I am afraid that the three generals will all take this fruit.

"It's a pity that Brooke's soul got lost in the Devil's Triangle..."

"When he found his body, only a skeleton was left. -- that is, he was resurrected again in a skeleton posture."

After saying that, Roman stopped and waited for the old man opposite to digest the information in his words.

"very···"

After a while, the old man named Kurokas nodded.

“···· Very wonderful story.”

hehe,

"Old senior, I know that people in the Roger Pirates don't like the 'Devil Fruit' and think that's a wrong way."

Indeed, all the members are domineering - the only one who doesn't have domineering is Bucky, who holds the "Overlord Luck". Such a pirate group will certainly look down on the Demon Fruit abilities, but:

"But you can't deny the magic of the devil fruit."

‘Roman’ spread her hands,

“Just like me.”

In terms of strength, Roman is definitely not as good as the old ship doctor. But he is more than "magical" and is still in the category of "human" and cannot compare with Roman. So after confirming that he cannot really hurt Roman unless he leaves Rab to chase the Golden Melis, Kurokas has to seriously consider the "trade" mentioned by Roman.

"What do you want from me?"

Faced with the old man's problem, Roman said something he had long coveted.

"Domstic practice!"

—————

On the other side, on the Golden Meli in the Storm.

That’s right, when I was in Twin Gorge, the sun was shining brightly, but not long after, the sky turned gloomy and even heavy snow fell!

“Hahaha, it’s not bad—”

"This way, this way..."

Bang!

He kicked Luffy and Usopp away, and Nami, wearing cotton coats, patted Roman, who was piled into a "snowman" by the two of them, helplessly driving away the two over-energy guys.

"Go and go, you have to build a snowman while you go! Don't play with Roman."

Roman's "energy" is mainly focused on the "White Knight" who has been away from the Grid Gorge puppet clone, and the body here seems very dull and mentally retarded. - Originally, Roman asked Luffy and the others to look forward to their bodies, but unexpectedly it became their toy...

“Hahaha, look at my 'Mr. Snowman'~~”

The duo who was driven aside started a new activity again. A classic snowman with a big ball, a small ball, two wooden branches and a carrot was of course the pile of Luffy.

"Hmph, look at my 'Snow Queen'-"

The crystal clear and elegant sitting posture, like a real person, is of course the masterpiece of Usopp, an artist who was delayed by the work of pirates!

"Snowman Flying Fist!"

Since he could not defeat his opponent in "art", Luffy immediately chose to pull his opponent to his "level" and then defeat him with rich experience.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh~~~My Snow Queen!!"

··········

"These two guys,"
