One Piece : Paper-paper Fruit

　East Blue,

　　Some people say: The sea is like a capricious woman, the first second it is still calm, the next second it will become hysterical!

　　Roman in the previous life hadn't seen the sea, but Roman in this life deeply believed this saying.

　　Even though he has been adrift and fighting at sea for three years, he still had to grab the cable around him so as not to be thrown into the sea.

　　The sky was crushed by black clouds, and the violent wind blew the skull banner violently. The waves were going ups and downs layer by layer. Just looking at the wavering tides and surging momentum, it feels as if there is a majestic and irresistible force between heaven and earth.

　　If you look from high above, the pirate ship with a weight of 400 tons and a carrying capacity of 50 people is like a falling willow leaf, transversing to and fro in the vast ocean, and it seems that it will be submerged by a wave at any time. 

　　At this moment, there was a huge lightning flashing in the distant sky, and the power of nature crashed down.

　　Under this lightning, the skin of everyone on the ship was stained with a layer of luster, and at the same time the swords in their hands were particularly dazzling! And the watcher on the mast has already yelled:

　　"Found the goal!"

　　"At 3 o'clock, twelve nautical miles away!"

　　Standing straight in the wind and waves, like a sword, was a middle-aged man with a dark black cocked hat on his head. With a 'crack' he pulled out the stabbing sword from his waist and ordered:

　　"Right full rudder! Take up the jib and move forward at full speed!"

　　 Sure enough, under the command of the middle-aged captain with eagle-like eyes, the ship the 'Windbreaker' cut open the sea like its name, and slid forward like an arrow. Even the stormy sea did not affect its speed.

　　Before long, the target of this pirate ship appeared in the eyes of everyone: it was an armed merchant ship. Although the sailors on it kept throwing barrels and debris into the sea, it was still occupied by the speed advantage. The Windbreaker gradually caught up from behind.

　　"Prepare......Release!"

　　The middle-aged captain raised the stabbing sword in his hand again.

　　With that forceful downward swing, the "Windbreaker" suddenly tilted to the left, and at the same time, a few blasts of fire spewed out from the right!

　　In the white mist, a few roaring shells rushed towards the merchant ship on the right front! But since it is an armed merchant ship that dared to go to sea for transportation, of course it would not be an opponent that could be easily won by an iron ball simply.

　　In fact, the significance of this kind of attack is far greater than the damage of combat.

　　Test whether the opponent has a 'master' who can intercept the shells!

　　After several rounds of banging and confirming that the opponent did not have any 'master', the middle-aged captain lifted his chin and directly ordered to speed up the approach and prepare for the battle!

　　For the most captains of the Pirate Ship, this is their favorite approach. Because once the crew is victorious, they will not only plunder as much wealth as possible, but also seize the entire merchant ship. Of course, the ratio of the risk of warfare to the battle damage of the crew is quite astonishing.

　　Despite the huge waves and the white waves rolling, the "Windbreaker" relied on its extraordinary speed to quickly get parallel to the heavy merchant ship on the right.

　　As the ropes and claws flew over and caught on the side of the opponent's ship, although the sailors on the armed merchant ship kept firing back shots, the bad weather severely affected the use of flintlocks.

　　The pirates on the "Windbreaker" already screamed in excitement, and quickly set up a springboard to enter the melee session, but:

　　Whoosh--

　　A figure leaped ahead of the distance between the two ships, and fell behind the line of defense formed by the merchant ship’s sailors with a thud.

　　"Who?"

　　In the exclamation of the merchant ship’s sailors, the young man who fell behind them... Yes, although the man is well-proportioned and the muscles under the thin sailor suit are well defined, it can be seen from the handsome face of the other party:

　　It's a teenager.

　　And the other party’s face...

Maybe the sailors would mistakenly think that it was a noble who was traveling, but now the other party is holding a sailor's knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and it doesn't look like a good person!

　　"Kill him!"

　　With an order from a caravan leader. The surrounding sailors immediately rushed towards the young man, and several sailor knives slashed at him without hesitation! At such a critical moment, there was an out-of-date laughter on the Ride the Wind and Waves.

　　"Hahaha, they are dead!"

　　"Dare to attack Battle captain Roman!"

　　"Wonderful..."

　　Among the unbridled laughter of the pirates, it was the "self-talking" of the young and besieged youth:

　　"You did it first."

　　Cang!

　　The metal shield in his hand...No, a circle with a thickness of more than three centimeters can no longer be regarded as a'shield' but a'steel plate'. Just a random sweep, and immediately pushed back the three-handed sailor's knife that had been hacked back!

　　In front of the huge power, the three-handed sailor's knife instantly shattered into pieces. It is like detonating three bombs, one by one, fragments containing powerful kinetic energy, blasting in all directions in a screaming and howling!

　　Bang Bang!

　　The thick deck was cut and slashed by fragments in an instant, and long marks were scraped out in the harsh cracking sound!

　　What was even worse was the several sailors who launched the attack. Under this'attack' that looked like a scarecrow, their bodies were swept across by high-speed rotating debris like rags!

　　Bang, bang, bang,

　　This was followed by the sound of a soft body falling down, and:

　　Brush--

　　The silver knife was lightly turned around by the young man, and the heads of several sailors flew up in the air. Their confused eyes had not yet realized what had happened, and the attacker had already rushed towards the merchant ship nearby like a cheetah.

　　It was like a tiger into the flock of a sheep!

　　Fight...No, it was not even a battle anymore.

　　Regardless of power or speed, the youngsters called "Battle Captain Roman" by the pirates far outnumber ordinary people. With the lightning-fast sailor's knife in his hand, and every time a shield weighing more than a hundred pounds is swung, a caravan sailor screams...or he isn't even able to scream!

　　"Ooh ooh—"

　　"Hurry up,"

　　"Don't let Captain Roman kill all by himself~~~"

　　As Roman cleared out a large deck in an instant, the pirates on the Windbreaker screamed and stepped on the springboard. After another bald combat captain chopped over a dozen caravan sailors in one go, the caravan’s morale collapsed. Give up the deck.

　　Bang.

　　"Good job, Roman."

　　At this time, the middle-aged captain also crossed the springboard. He first nodded to Roman, who had a knife in one hand and a shield in one hand, and then turned to look at the place where the merchant sailor had escaped: the cabin!

　　It seems that the other party has not given up resistance...

　　"Keep up."

　　The middle-aged captain put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and strode towards the cabin stairs in a calm and graceful posture. The pirates behind him also yelled and raised their weapons to follow. Rush in.

　　When you step down the stairs, you are facing a resistance front organized by a dozen caravan sailors. They rely on the narrow terrain of the cabin passage. In front are the gunners kneeling on the ground, and behind are the flintlocks in the upright and flat hands, forming multiple dense sections. The lineup, as soon as they saw someone coming in, theu immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation.

　　Because the middle-aged captain walking in front is undoubtedly the leader of the pirates, almost all the lead bullets are poured into him!

　　However, the middle-aged captain showed a cruel and bloodthirsty grin on his face. Facing the roaring bullets, he drew out the silver stinging sword on his waist at this moment, and moved in the air at a dazzling speed. Swipe and stab!

　　Swoosh-

　　The speed of his action was beyond the reach of the human eye, so much so that in the eyes of most pirates, silver lines suddenly appeared beside the middle-aged captain! Then the lead bullet that was shot at him was flew out, deeply embedded in the surrounding cabins.

　　Sword cuts bullets!

　　At this time, these words are not a fantasy, but-

　　The sign of'superiority'!

　　Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged captain's forward speed did not decrease, and he strode past the temporary positions constructed by these sailors.

　　Behind him, the faces of more than ten caravan sailors were full of horrified expressions!

　　They were stiff in place. After a few seconds, the sailors' throats, eyebrows, and chests shot out a stream of blood before they fell slowly.

　　"The captain is mighty--"

　　"The captain is invincible!"

　　"Hahaha, dare to be an enemy of our captain who offered a reward of 30 million. I really admire their courage!"

　　"There is also Battle captain Roman who is offering a reward of 10 million..."

　　The pirates in the rear were not surprised by this situation. They first glanced at their captain in awe, and then rushed forward, looting the corpses very professionally. Then they used the clothes of the deceased to wipe off the blood on their weapons, and then drag the corpse onto the deck and throw it into the sea for the fish to feed!

　　And as Roman and another bald battle captain followed in the footsteps of the middle-aged captain in front, all resistance along the way was as fragile as paper in front of the three of them.

　　The captain's high-speed main attack and murder, the bald-headed man is powerful to destroy the terrain, and Roman defends tightly to block damage.

　　In this way, the three of them came to an elegant gate all the way.

　　Bang!

　　The door was kicked by the bald combat captain, and then he strode in, facing the caravan captain with the cocked hat and raising the bloody axe in his hand.

　　"You can't kill me!"

　　The captain was holding a small box tightly and desperately trying to'scare' the intruders.

　　"I'm from 'Joker'—"

　　Clang!

　　The bald battle captain atttacked with his axe, and instantly squeezed the second half of the captain back into his throat.

　　"What did he just say?"

　　Roman, who entered the door last,frowned.

　　"He said..." The bald man touched his greasy forehead and said uncertainly "He said he was a clown?"

　　"...."

　　"It's just a bark of a defeated dog."

　　The middle-aged captain waved his hand, and picked up the box on the ground indifferently and opened it. Anyway, the two people present are his confidants, even if there is some treasure—

　　Click,

　　As the box opened, a purple fruit appeared in the eyes of the three.

　　There are circles of beautiful lines on the fruit which gives it an extraordinary appearence.

　　Devil Fruit!

　　In an instant, the air in the captain's room suddenly solidified.
