Paper Paper Fruit In One Piece

"It's Byrnndi World..." Roman rubbed his temple and glanced at Luffy, whose cheeks were puffed up with food, still refusing to speak.

"Do you remember 'Blackbeard' Teach from when we were in Impel Down?"

!

In Luffy's serious gaze, Roman explained the backstory:

"The reason that guy went to Impel Down was to release the powerful prisoners in the sixth level and recruit them as his subordinates. —At the same time, he also released even more powerful and dangerous people, but Blackbeard didn't have the confidence to recruit them. So..."

These powerful individuals went off into the sea and started causing trouble.

"Is that Bald guy really strong?"

At Luffy's question, Roman nodded.

"Very strong!"

"His greatest strength is his destructive power. The More-More Fruit can easily amplify his attacks, making his bullets as powerful as heavy artillery! His cannonballs can even destroy islands."

Of course, just small islands.

"Wow, that's amazing?"

"Not just that. As far as I know, his Observation Haki and Armament Haki are both very skilled. He also knows practical techniques like 'Soru' and 'Geppo.' —If he hadn't been frozen for thirty years, he would definitely have Admiral-level strength!"

Right now, his destructive power might be on par with the three Admirals. But his Haki and physical abilities…In the original story, he was out of breath after just a few minutes fighting Luffy, which really didn't match up with his tough, muscular image.

"Originally, he had nothing to do with us, but now, due to a manpower shortage, the Marines have decided to call on the Seven Warlords to deal with him. After Byrnndi World learned of the Marines' plan, he decided to strike first."

"He plans to get close to the Red Line by using one of the Seven Warlords as a hostage, then launch a cannonball at the Holy Land Mary Geoise! Teach the Marines and the World Government a lesson."

"And the person he's chosen as the target is…"

Roman pointed to the Kuja Pirate ship anchored in the sea outside the forest. It was none other than the 'Empress' Boa Hancock!

"That's not good!"

Luffy stood up, patting his blue jeans.

"Hancock has helped me a lot. I won't let some guy named Bald capture her."

"Although your current look is quite imposing, the real issue is… 'Hancock' and 'World'… forget it, those are just small problems. The real question we need to focus on is…"

When will World show up?

Whoosh—Just as Roman was explaining who the 'World Destroyer' was, the sea nearby suddenly 'bubbled up,' and a huge 'warship' surfaced from the water.

Rather than a warship, it looked more like a small island: plants covered the surface, and technology and primitiveness were fused together. The ship or rather a submarine, looked more like a vacation spot than a weapon.

In reality, it was indeed a submarine for vacationing: the Worldld Pirates had built this submarine to avoid unnecessary enemies and then happily travel around the world.

Of course, if you ignore the giant cannon that stood at a 30-degree angle to the sky!

That was something their captain insisted on adding.

"Hahaha~~ So this is the Kuja Pirates?"

A man over four meters tall, wearing a helmet missing a corner, sneered at the nearby red ship being pulled by two serpents.

"A bunch of women?"

"The World Government is getting more corrupt by the day, letting a woman become one of the 'Seven Warlords.'"

Swish—At that moment, three figures leaped from a nearby island onto the Perfume Snake ship, causing Wald's pupils to shrink.

"Marine!!"

Grinding his teeth, World glared at Roman, who was wearing a captain's coat, and Nami, who had on a navy officer's uniform. As for Luffy, he was ignored by World because:

"These cowards! To deal with me, they're even joining forces with pirates again?"

After saying that, the man with the helmet slightly turned his head, his cold gaze falling on the other crew members.

"You guys—"

"Don't tell me the World Government has bought you off as well?"

The scene was too familiar, the script too familiar. It felt like it had happened just yesterday, thirty years ago—when the Marines and pirates had teamed up to take him down, and his subordinates suddenly turned on him…

!

"Boss, what are you talking about…"

"We've been on the ship the whole time, how could we have had a chance to…"

"Yeah, yeah, we've always been fighting for you!"

"No, think carefully."

However, the helmeted strongman began speaking to himself.

"Maybe before you were recruited onto this ship, you were actually agents of the World Government."

?!

"Hehahaha~~ This ship can be sailed by just a few people, seems like we don't need you useless trash anymore..."

"Boss? What do you mean by that?!"

"My meaning," 

The strongman shot a fierce glance, instantly making the pirates around him shiver with fear! Their instinct for survival caused them to take a large step back, but this move caught Wald's attention:

"Hehahaha~~ What's this? Already showing your true colors so soon?"

"I... we..."

The pirates wanted to say that they were just 'normal people,' and that feeling scared under his Haki wasn't abnormal. But to Wald, this was already solid proof.

"Traitors!"

With a quick motion of his hand, the three walnut-sized objects he was holding shattered with a loud crash.

"Boss, what are you going to do?!"

"Boss! We fought for you with our lives..."

"You can't do this—"

"I don't need trash and traitors."

As the helmeted strongman casually scattered the walnut fragments in his hand.

"More more fruit - 20x Scatter Shot!"

In an instant, the walnut fragments, accelerated by the Devil Fruit ability, flew toward the pirates like cannonballs! At the same time, the fragments were rapidly 'growing,' turning into sharp, deadly weapons the size of human heads.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

The huge fragments, with terrifying mass and speed, screamed as they shot in all directions. Pirates who were too close were instantly sliced apart and torn to pieces by the fragments, with blood and entrails covering the deck.

Even so, the fragments showed no signs of slowing down! It was like being hit by a barrage of scattershot at point-blank range. In an instant, every pirate on the deck was reduced to a lifeless body. This made the old man sitting on Wald's shoulder cough violently.

"What's wrong, Byojack?"

The elderly man, also wearing a horned helmet, shook his head.

"World, I've learned from past mistakes. This time, the people we recruited aren't World Government agents, and—"

The thin old man, with a saline bottle hanging from him, looked at the bodies on the deck. Even though these people were nothing but scum who burned, killed, and looted... they were still their comrades..."If any of them were World Government agents, they would have dodged your attack earlier."

"Hehahaha, so you're saying it was my fault?"

The helmeted man's cold gaze fell on the old man on his shoulder, bloodshot eyes and killing intent spreading in his pupils.

"As the captain, I'm at fault?!"

"Is that what you mean, Byojack-bro?!"

Faced with the rising killing intent and anger from his younger brother, the frail old man closed his eyes and coughed. Thinking back now, perhaps it would have been better to die at the hands of the World Government agents together."Captain, vice-captain."

At that moment, three figures walked in, volunteering to step up.

"It's just a mere Shichibukai and two Marines. There's no need for the captain to dirty his hands, leave it to us!"

One of them, an old man with a huge square iron hammer on his back, wearing crafting glasses and his hair styled into two square blocks, was the shipwright, Gayram. A user of the Cube-Cube Fruit, he could turn anything he touched into a cube, even compressing air into cubes to use as air cannons.

Yes, just like Kuma's move. — Of course, compared to Kuma compressing the air of an entire plaza, Gayram could only compress a small space between his hands... so it was nothing special.

"Leave it to us. All these years, I haven't just built this ship."

Beside him stood the ship's doctor, Naqin, an old woman in a long white coat, wearing ill-fitting high heels, and with lipstick on. She was skilled at blending various medicines into her attacks, and had developed her own style of 'Traditional Medicine Fist.'

She even has a trick to make herself young again using a self-made drug! Not only does she regain her curves, but her strength and speed also return to their peak—basically a "combat enhancer" in drug form.

"Hehehe, I put a lot of effort into gathering materials for this ship too. Don't think you're taking all the credit~~"

"Both of you, stop talking," 

spoke the last figure, a tall man with sunglasses and a suit... Sebastian, the giant fish-man. 

He's a hybrid of a giant and a coelacanth fish-man, with the strength of a giant, a fish-man's connection to the sea, and agility. Unlike that simpleton "Hamburg" from the Foxy Pirates, this fish giant named Sebastian also has a calm mind and decent fighting skills.

"Don't let those pests bother the captain. Let's take care of them ourselves!"

"Good," 

Wald responded, nodding coldly at the three former officers.

"Five minutes!"

"I'm giving you five minutes to finish off that Warlord and the Marines. Is that enough?"

"Just watch us!" x3As the last three officers of the "World Pirates" walked out of the cabin, Byojack, perched on Wald's shoulder, let out a silent sigh.

World... my brother, why have you forgotten our original dream? 

Didn't we set sail to explore the world, to see different islands and people?

"We're the DeBond brothers," the old man remembered how his younger brother once defended him against thugs, pirates, and even Marines to protect him when he was sickly. "Nobody can stop us, or I'll tear them apart!"The more you fight, the stronger you become! 

But the stronger you get, the more dissatisfied you are! 

In the end, my once-innocent, smiling brother became a ruthless, fearsome pirate... Without strength, we couldn't keep sailing; but in chasing strength, you've completely forgotten our original purpose. Wald, my brother, how can I possibly help you...?
