Chapter 177
Next to the spooky island, on the Sunshine Merry.
A circle of people surrounded the 'sandbox' built by paper models and listened to Roman's explanation of 'strategies'.
"The island in front of us is really a huge sailboat 'terrifying barque' from West Blue."
Roman pointed to white's sand table and began to explain to everyone, ——It’s not just a mere memory, but the dozens or hundreds of black bats he released have spread all over the island and returned first-hand information.
With the current strength of Roman, this 'small' copy has been equivalent to opening a full picture!
"Unlike those 'BOSS' who were running around in the past, this time we have to face Shichibukai: Moonlight-Moria will stay here forever..."
Roman While talking, place a chubby little Moria paper figurine on the Castle Lord building in the middle of the island.
Represents the final BOSS of the 'Dungeon of the Devil's Triangle'.
A great swordsman body refinement expert who can cut each other passionately with Kaido, forcibly decadent becomes a squatting master at home. All I can say is:
Roman has a heart!
Think about it from another perspective, if only Roman is left in the Straw Hat group, it may not be long before a person's 'pure white Straw Hat Pirates' will continue to move towards Raftel ······
In order to avoid such an ending, we must strengthen our training!
? ? ?
Looking at Roman, who suddenly had a bitter face, everyone was a black question mark. However:
Get used to it, get used to it.
"Then here, here, and here—"
Roman marked three buildings, waved his hand, and three little paper figures appeared above the buildings, representing Three 'elite monsters'.
"Here are the three cadres of Moria Pirates:"
"Genius Surgeon: Hobbuck."
One wearing a... ··A fat middle-aged doctor with purple hair in a fishnet suit.
"Commander Zombie: Absalom."
This is a wild beast-like man, wearing a round top hat with Moria Shirt and trousers, coat turtleneck trench coat, pedal boots. Long golden hair, two cannons on both arms, and a lion's mouth!
"Phantom Princess: Perona."
With a pink double ponytail, a crown, a red skirt and shawl, black and white stockings, and a red wine bottle in hand A gothic girl with an umbrella.
"The other two are not worth mentioning, but Perona..."
Roman glanced at Zoro, causing Santoryu's Marimo-head swordsman to raise his eyebrows.
"See what I'm doing?"
"Nothing," Roman looked away. When I mention Perona, I think of the famous emoji in my previous life: - Perona pointed at Zoro who was sweating, 'If you didn't have me, you would still be...'
cough cough, kid Not suitable!
"Anyway, this girl is a 'negative fruit'... ah, no," Perona's ability is so unbelievable that Roman subconsciously misrepresents her fruit many times.
"She is the 'Hollow-Hollow Fruit' Ability User, everyone must be careful!"
Maybe the threat to the Straw Hat regiment is higher than Moria... ·
"Mr. Roman!"
Chopper pointed at the first little paper figurine with eyes flashing with excitement.
"This is really Mr. Hogbuck? That world-famous surgeon? The Legendary figure who saved countless lives?"
"It's him, but... "..."
Looking at the excited Chopper, Roman had to 'vaccinate' the little reindeer.
"He's probably as 'slightly' different as you might think: he's actually a guy who thinks money is better than saving lives, and who makes zombies to insult the dead."
"He is here because he was devastated by the death of the famous actress Cindry ten years ago, and later became Gecko Moria's companion on the condition of resurrecting Cindry."
Again A guy haunted by the 'past'.
"How come? Mr. Hogback is..."
"Well, don't get excited, Chopper. Maybe my intelligence is wrong?"
Roman waved his hand, "When you meet him in a while, you can see what kind of person he is by seeing with your own eyes and listening with your ears."
"... All right, Mr. Roman."
Although Roman comforted Chopper so much, everyone knew that Roman's intelligence had always been reliable. I'm afraid this doctor...
"Then next-?!"
Put,
! !
"The anchor fell by itself?"
"How could this happen, obviously no one..."
No one! ?
Roman closed his eyes and took a closer look. When he opened his eyes again, he felt a little more solemn and clear.
It's that guy, -- Absalom, the transparent fruit Ability User!
“Hey, hey?”
Fuck——
The corners of Luffy’s mouth stretched to the sides out of thin air, making a funny face for Roman to pick. raised his eyebrows.
Sure enough, Kenbunshoku Haki is imperceptible!
clang!
The next second, the knife from Zoro's waist was unsheathed, leaving everyone stunned.
"Be careful..."
pa!
silhouette flashed, Roman grabbed the long knife that flew towards Luffy out of thin air. For a moment he felt something suddenly 'shrink his hand' and throw away the sword hilt, but in Kenbunshoku Haki, who can see through the enemy, there is still nothingness.
Sure enough, the transparent fruit is more than just trifling 'invisibility'!
Otherwise, Absalom also impossible rescued Moria from Brother Ming and a group of peaceful Pacifistas when he went to war. Later, Shiliew, the No. 2 character of Blackbeard Pirates regiment, even more impossible to eat this kind of no help in battle strength. 'Old Snakeskin Fruit'.
That's why,
The transparent fruit can block Kenbunshoku Haki's perception!
Moria, who recovered after two years, was almost hacked to death by Shiliew who ate the transparent fruit.
But:
"Don't panic-"
"Paper Dance - Paper Blowing Snow!"
Facing the suspicious Straw Hat Everyone, Roman snapped his fingers! Immediately crash-bang flying out of a blank sheet of paper! And these white papers quickly split into tiny confetti in the air, like snowflakes all over the sky! Then:
shuaa
As soon as all the confetti appeared, they began to spin and dance around, as if they were in a snowstorm! Filled all the space on the Sunshine Merry. Because of the presence of his companions, Roman did not give these papers any lethality, but:
A white 'silhouette' was outlined by the confetti falling on his body!
He was creeping closer to Robin, and he stretched out his hands like a coveted old snakeskin, which made everyone frown!
Just as the opponent's An Lushan claws attacked Robin's chest, the invisible Absalom was stunned! Because he saw the object of his 'attack' and retreated with disgust, at the same time:
"Huh? Your knife! Courting death ——"
"Dare to covet Miss Robin, I'm going to kick your bones!!"
"Beat him!" X3
Absalom, surrounded by Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, didn't have time to shout the classic line 'If you have something to say', punching and kicking like raindrops!
"aaahhhh "
"Help, help—"
The inhuman scream pierced through the fog and startled a series of bats.
Soon to be calm in the sound of fists and feet!
"So, this guy is 'Commander Zombie', one of the other's three cadres?"
Looking at the lion man on the ground, who had passed out and revealed his true form, Zoro's face was 'that's all' ? ', and Roman had to remind them.
"Don't forget, when he didn't show his figure just now, no one of us could perceive him."
"This is because he is very strong. ,——If it were an expert with a swordsman rank, it would not be unusual for any of us to get down on the spot!"
This is absolutely true, being unsuspecting by a high-destructive sword With a sneak attack, no one in the Straw Hat regiment dared to say that they were unscathed. - Except for Roman which is capable of 'elemental transformation'.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Straw Hat group met all the expert experts along the way, Roman's strength would have been able to play 99% of the Pirates in the first half of the great route without injury, and mix a loud 'BOSS' 'Title...
"Very good, although it is a biochemically modified man, this guy is still a living creature."
Two tubes of blood were obtained from the other party. After the 'transparent page' came out, Roman was nodded with satisfaction. ——With this, as long as it does not encounter a large-scale AOE, the safety is already guaranteed.
Although this guy will be deprived of his fruit ability in two years, the Straw Hat group should already have the capital to fight other forces in two years!
"Well, the opponent gave us a head at the beginning, we have a great advantage"
Roman waved his hand, and the paper figurine representing Absalom disappeared instantly. "Then we just need to follow this planned route and fight all the way, we can easily push to Moria and regain Brook's shadow."
At the same time, Roman reminded Luffy repeatedly, "Don't run around and make it difficult for us. Ha! I don't want to play zombie Oars..."
"hehe, I see!"
with a smile on his face, holding a net bag and a cage as if ready to travel Luffy, Roman closed his eyes and rubbed the temple.
You simply didn't listen, did you?
"Forget it, you can't leave my sight, otherwise - I'll let Sanji cut your food by half!"
"Ahhhh, don't"
"I refuse," but Sanji on the side lit a cigarette, "It is my dignity as a cook to feed the hungry."
...Made,
"Just be happy."
Roman gave up therapy!
"Roman, what's this?"
Nami pointed to a burly woman with pink double braids in the forest next to her. There is a feeling of 'closeness' somewhere.
"Oh, this is a side quest."
?
"Where can I get Luffy-enhancing items—but I don't think we need it with our current strength."
? ?
"Okay, you'll be happy."
Anyway, Roman occasionally pops up some unfathomable mystery lines, and the Straw Hat group is used to it. Then:
"Adventure, adventure!!"
"I've got the bento," Robin carried the food, also with a good look on his face, "I also like adventure."
"It's really super exciting to take an adventure on a mysterious island"
"hey hey hey, we are going to push the BOSS, can you be serious... "..."
Hey, forget it, if you can get serious, it's not the Straw Hat group.
"Then——"
crash-bang
A piece of white paper flew out to form a long staircase connecting to the shore, Roman said to the beach. previous finger.
"Dungeon of Moria, start a group."
"Oh oh"
Luffy rushed out first, but fortunately still remember Roman's words, Just yelling at the shore!
"You guys keep up!!"
Such a loud voice,
...Luffy, are you still the train king?
