The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Do you think my dreams are random?"

Roman spread his hands and looked at the others on the deck.

"But there is no way. Dreams and so on usually have a lot to do with one's past."

"Whether it's an idol, or a good friend, or a parent, or a benefactor... Whether it's power, knowledge, or dreams, people inherit it from generation to generation."

"You all have precious memories, but my past..."

"Roman, the past is already—"

The tragedy of this world... can only be said to be everywhere. Nami took a step forward, thinking about how to comfort Roman, but Roman raised his hand to stop her.

"You misunderstood, Nami."

"My past, I should say: very happy."

?

Then you pretend to be deep with a hammer? !

Roman shrugged his shoulders in front of a few companions who had the expressions of "you're kidding me" written on their faces.

"What about my past?"

"Ordinary family, ordinary life, ordinary daily life..."

"Whatever you want to eat every day, just make a phone call...the phone bug will be delivered to your door. (referring to takeaway)"

"Whatever you want to watch every day, just move your fingers and it will appear in front of your eyes, whether it's novels, anime... or operas. (pointing to the mobile phone)"

"If you are too busy and want to exercise, you can also follow the coach... the instructor to exercise, boxing, sports, shooting... (Zhiyun Fitness)"

Hey, hey, you are not 'ordinary' at all, okay! ?

Sauron, Nami, Sanji, and Usopp couldn't complain. In this chaotic world, there are only nobles... No, the royal family may not be treated like this, right?

"Every day is a peaceful and ordinary life. The most serious injury I have suffered since I was a child is accidentally cutting my finger..."

"As for the battle, death, etc., you can only see it on TV and newspapers..."

··········

Seeing Roman with a 'so boring' face, everyone couldn't bear the urge to beat him up!

Is this the legendary "I don't know the blessings in the blessings"?

This kind of background is already——

"Anyway, that's how I used to be."

"Although there were many messy daydreams, they were just dreams."

"And then, out of nowhere, I ran to the sea to become a pirate..."

········

"Although I read all kinds of books because I had nothing to do in the past, and the fighting swordsmanship I learned to play. I barely got along in the pirate business..."

Big brother, your strength of tens of millions of bounties is just to hang around?

So what are we, apprentice sailors!

Except for the nervous Luffy, no one else could find anything to complain about.

"Because I have no unforgettable regrets, so I don't have any dreams."

Roman made a summary for his "time travel".

"Punching the four emperors, stepping on the three generals and so on. Although I have thought about it occasionally, they have no enmity with me, and they have no motivation. ——For a few minutes at most, just forget about it."

········

Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji exchanged glances with each other.

understood! This Roman is just a son of the royal family who has nothing to do.

"Anyway, I actually envy you all."

Roman finally got to the point, "You guys have the goal of fighting for your life, and you are unwavering, which makes me really envious! In comparison, I'm nothing more than a salted fish drifting with the tide."

"But today is different,"

Roman opened his arms, as if embracing the world.

"I want to see a moment when your dreams come true.—Maybe it's laughter, maybe it's crying, maybe it's just melancholy, maybe it's even emptiness. But:"

"I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

Well, if you insist, this is Roman's 'dream'.

"Hee hee~~~"

"Roman, you said something you didn't understand for a long time."

Luffy pressed the straw hat, looked up at Roman with a hearty smile.

"So I wanted to watch 'One Piece' too."

"It's decided, your dream will be fulfilled by me!"

········

"Okay, Luffy, you're right to understand that."

Roman shrugged and told the past, it seemed that people became a lot easier. ——Always talk to people with the secrets of the past, no matter how you think about it, it's a bit nonsense. but:

"Heh heh heh, there are still many things I have learned in books, such as revolutionaries, such as five old stars, such as a blank hundred years, such as... even if it is:"

"One Piece and Lan Hai, I also—"

The word "also" was deliberately lengthened by Roman. Seeing the expressions of "please don't reveal the drama" on Luffy and Sanji's faces, Roman's face became serious.

"I do not know either."

? ? ?

"Beat you, believe it or not, we will beat you!"

"Hahaha, I scared you. I'm not an encyclopedia~~~"

—————

In the cabin, a group of people sat together, and the nautical charts from the Bucky Pirates were spread out on the table.

"The entrance to the 'Great Route' is a mountain."

"Mountain?" X4

"Although I don't believe it, but if the location on the chart is correct, the entrance is indeed located on the upside-down mountain of the lighthouse in front..."

"Are you going to hit the mountain?"

Facing the dazed and uncertain Nami, Roman knocked on the table.

"It's not hitting the mountain, but preparing to 'climb the mountain'."

? ? ?

"Ahead is the Red Earth Continent, where the four seas of east, west, north, and south meet through canals..."

"The powerful ocean currents of the four seas push the sea water up to the top of the mountain, and then merge into a stream, which is the starting point of the great route."

Roman began to use "book knowledge" to popularize science for several people.

"The whole great line circles the world, that is to say..."

"Wow, look, it's calm over there~~"

Usopp leaned against the window, looking not far away.

"Then why do we have to take this weird route?" Sauron asked a question, "We go directly to the south..."

"The answer lies in the calm sea."

"There is a windless zone, and the great route is sandwiched between two sea areas called 'quiet belts'."

"The so-called windless belt, as the name suggests, means that there is no wind. It is difficult for sailing ships to move there, but more importantly..."

Roman pointed to the side where Usopp was lying on the window and looking at it. It was obvious that the sea area they were in was torrential rain, but the side not far away was indeed calm and the sun was shining brightly.

Outside, the paper puppet "White Knight" in a raincoat was driving the boat, and the reason why the Golden Merry deviated from the course and came here was of course Roman's deliberate action.

"No matter what I say about how dangerous and powerful the great route is...you don't have a concrete concept. So,"

Boom boom boom——!

Amidst the thunderous sound, the entire Golden Merry was bouncing up and down! Like a poor leaf in a stormy sea, when it finally stabilized its figure, Luffy, Sauron, Usopp, and Sanji in the cabin all rushed outside. Then:

"What the hell is this?!" X4

Four... no, three dumbfounded faces.

Because poor Usopp was already foaming at the mouth and passed out.

In the calm sea area next to the Golden Merry, a group of... hundreds of meters, or thousands of meters? The giant sea beast surfaced! Just their bodies out of the water are like rolling mountains!

The Golden Merry carrying Roman Luffy and others is like an ant next to a giant in front of these sea beasts. Too small to even get their attention.

"Special product in the windless belt: giant sea kings."

Behind the stunned trio, Nami, who was holding the hatch and crying, and Usopp, who passed out, was Roman who walked out slowly.

"Understood, this is why everyone obediently takes the great route."

"Roman—"

"Turn around, turn around!!"

"Stop talking about that..."

"Brother... big brother..."

Rao Shi, the fearless trio were all frightened to the point of splitting their souls! In front of this giant beast of hundreds of thousands of meters, whether it is fists, feet or swords, it is not worthy of scraping the other party! And these behemoths only need one turn over...

Burying at the bottom of the sea is the only end.

Needless to say, Roman has already commanded the 'White Knight' to drive the Golden Merry to draw an arc. The "visit" around the edge of the windless belt is just to show the horror of the great route to a few people, and it's not really about dying.

——But if there is no Roman, it is hard to say whether Luffy and the others will die and run to the giant sea king's lair...

"Okay, let's go to the Upside Down Mountain."

Great route, here we come!
