Paper Paper Fruit In One Piece

Cannons roared, and lightning flashed! 

A fierce naval battle was raging off the coast of Dressrosa.

But in reality: 

"Damn it! If it weren't for 'Mama' not leaving any daughters outside, I'd almost think that guy inherited her powers!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Soir." 

Baron Tamago, now calm, glanced at the pale-skinned young woman beside him. 

"Mama's powers come from a Devil Fruit. Those abilities can't be inherited. Don't lose your composure, Lady Custard."

The woman Baron Tamago called Custard had beautiful brown eyes and short violet hair decorated with a flower. She wore a tight purple-pink jumpsuit with long gloves and a belt, along with a fluffy light-pink cape dotted with pink polka dots on the shoulders.

Charlotte Custard, the 6th daughter of the Charlotte Family, was 45 years old but looked like a youthful 15-year-old with a slender figure. She was far more attractive and powerful than her younger sister Brûlée, who was two years younger but looked like an old witch.

"I understand, but..." 

It wasn't Custard's fault for being so frustrated. Their enemy's ship sailed smoothly with the wind at their back, while their own ship was battered by constant lightning strikes from above and raging waves from below. How were they supposed to fight in a battle like this?

Normally, they were the ones who enjoyed such favorable conditions, while their enemies struggled against terrible weather.

Their "Mama," Charlotte Linlin, could inject souls into objects, making them obey her commands. Using her Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom had even gained the power to control the weather and natural elements, creating storms, fire, lightning, and waves...

"That's right! Big Mom can even inject souls into the sea and stir up huge waves. In fact, most Devil Fruit users aren't really afraid of seawater. The real danger of seawater is that it weakens their strength, making them unable to move."

This was one of Big Mom's specialties. She had crushed countless pirate crews and Marines in the past. But today? They were the ones being crushed! How did it come to this?! 

"Stay calm. It looks like unless those three big shots take action, it'll be hard for us to deal with the Straw Hat crew at sea."

They had tried to launch a direct attack on the Sunny's deck, but surprisingly, there wasn't a single mirror on the whole ship! This left the Big Mom Pirates looking at each other in confusion.

These guys are famous pirates, right? Don't they comb their hair, wash their faces, or care about their appearance? Of course, they do! Most of the Straw Hats are quite clean, especially Nami and Robin, whose rooms are filled with mirrors of all sizes. 

However, Roman, knowing the "plot," had already stored all the mirrors on the ship inside his "Pouch Pages." If the enemies could somehow enter the Pouch Pages, that would be even better— 

They'd suffocate instantly! 

Next, the Big Mom Pirates' officers tried using "Moonwalk" to fly over and engage in close combat, but... 

They were sent flying back, bloodied and scorched, by Nami's lightning and Roman's sword slashes! Some of the weaker ones fell straight into the rolling waves, prompting a group of officers with fishman blood to dive in and rescue them. 

In short, after a long fight, the Big Mom Pirates didn't even manage to set foot on the Sunny's deck. Meanwhile, their own ship, the Queen Mama Chanter, was already... 

"Mama~~ Mama, where are you?" 

"Lightning~~ Big waves~~ I'm so scared~~"

Even the usually cheerful figurehead now wore a worried frown, leaving the officers on deck speechless.

"Maybe... we should just call it off?" 

Pekoms, wearing sunglasses and a pink suit, quietly suggested. They had come in high spirits to capture Caesar, but not only had they failed, they also ended up humiliated. 

"Chasing them any further won't change anything, right?" 

As an animal-type Devil Fruit user, Pekoms wasn't suited for naval battles, especially against such ruthless opponents. 

Yes, he had eaten the Turtle-Turtle Fruit and become a lion-turtle hybrid. Other than gaining a sturdy shell for defense, it didn't offer much else. Worse, it turned him into a terrible swimmer. 

Maybe... just maybe... he also inherited a turtle's long lifespan?

"No way! If we go back like this—" 

Charlotte Custard slammed his hand on the railing, both angry and scared! They had left with full confidence, thinking it would be an easy mission. But they hadn't expected the Straw Hat crew to be so wild and brutal! Not only did they threaten to kill Caesar without hesitation, but they could also control the weather to gain the upper hand. If this continued... they'd return empty-handed, and Big Mom might lose her temper!

Just thinking about their mother—their pirate captain—and how terrifying and brutal she could be when angry made even her children shiver with fear. 

—————— 

"Oh? They've got some guts." 

Roman looked at their ship, which kept swaying in the stormy waves and lightning yet didn't give up. He raised an eyebrow under his mask. 

"Forget it, we don't have time to waste with them. Nami—"

"Are we really going to use *that* move?" 

Nami hesitated for a moment. After all, *that move* was a bit... 

"We don't have a choice. Unless you want to whip up another 'Ten Thousand Thunderbolts'?" 

Roman suggested, 

"That would definitely scare the Big Mom Pirates off for good." 

Right now, the weak natural lightning wasn't enough. The officers could all endure it a few times with Armament Haki. 

"No way," 

Nami gave Roman an annoyed look. Even Enel, a proper Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, needed his Ark Maxim to unleash Ten Thousand Thunderbolts. There was no way Nami's fake version could pull off something that powerful, no matter how hard she tried!

"Forget it, let's go with that move."

In the end, Nami nodded in agreement, since Luffy and the others still didn't know what was going on.

"Yohoho, then let's do that move!"

Brook, holding a cup of tea, turned to Roman and Nami, his hollow eyes showing confusion.

"But, what exactly is 'that move'?"

"It's our partner, the 'Sunny's' new finishing move!" 

The 'Wind Cannon' at the back of the Sunny, which provided acceleration, was still in place, but the 'Wind Cannon' located on the lion's head had already been dismantled by Franky and repurposed. He even called it the 'Business Trip Edition – Wind Cannon,' leaving Roman speechless.

"Let's go with this!"

Although Roman spoke casually, if all the officers came charging in recklessly using their moonwalks, it would be bad. Even if Roman could escape, what about Nami and Brook? And the Sunny?

It seemed that if they didn't hurt the enemy, there would be no end to this.

As for handing Caesar over to Big Mom's crew to continue experimenting on kids and such, that was never an option for Roman.

Swish~~ White paper fluttered down from Roman, swirling like snowflakes, quickly covering the entire 'Sunny.' Since Water 7, Roman hadn't used paper to protect the ship because Franky had made a new ship strong enough to withstand the New World's natural disasters. But if it were a man-made disaster...

"Last warning, leave here."

A white dove flapped its wings and hovered in front of the "Queen Mama Chant," delivering the final ultimatum with authority.

"As for our grudges, we'll settle them later."

Swish! A flying slash instantly turned the dove into two pieces, and Roman received his 'answer' from the other side.

"Attack," 

A railgun, an advanced kinetic weapon using electromagnetic technology, was ready to fire.

Unlike traditional cannons that use gunpowder to create pressure, the railgun uses the amperage force generated by the electromagnetic field to accelerate metal projectiles, giving them the necessary kinetic energy to hit their target.

This weapon is high-tech and was developed as a strategic tool in various countries on the Blue Planet. But it's also down-to-earth, as there were homemade railgun videos on Bilibili that used coins to shoot toy cars. Just like nuclear weapons, the principle is simple once you break it down, but...

"According to the capacitor formula and the law of conservation of energy, the higher the voltage, the stronger the magnetic energy converted, and the higher the initial speed of the projectile."

"Also, the material of the projectile is crucial, and the Wapol metal just happens to solve this problem perfectly..."

With the unscientific voltage of this world combined with the unscientific metal, they had this unscientific weapon:

Crunch.

The lion's head 'jaw' on the Sunny opened, revealing a huge cannon, and Roman and Nami both activated their "Thunderstrike" ability at the same time.

"60 million volts! Charging—"

"More More – 50 times!"

Although the interference from the two abilities meant the lightning wouldn't reach an exaggerated 3 billion, reaching over 100 million was still possible! Meanwhile, the entire Sunny was crackling with bright electric sparks, with lightning as thick as a finger jumping around wildly, turning the ship into a massive thunder beast. Amidst the terrifying, thunderous rumblings, it revealed its sharp claws.

"Watch out—"

"Run!!"

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of danger struck the officers on the deck of the Queen Mama Chanter. They instinctively leaped away! Some used Moonwalk to fly into the air, others leaped high using their leg strength, and some even dove straight into the sea nearby! Their Observation Haki had never sent such a clear warning, signaling that a terrifying attack was about to hit—

"Fusion—Shipborne Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"

"Boom!!!!"

A beam of light shot across the sky from the lion figurehead at the bow of the Sunny: it suddenly pierced through the air in front of them, disappearing at the far edge of their sight, leaving a trail of intense light and heat. The air along the beam's path twisted and distorted, forming a bizarre "tunnel"! Bright lightning crackled within the tunnel, exploding and slowly fading away.

As the light passed over the sea, a massive crack suddenly appeared in the ocean, as if an invisible sword had sliced through it! Millions of tons of seawater shot up on both sides, causing a massive surge of waves! The sound was so loud that it drowned out even the continuous thunder in the sky.

"…What is happening?"

Baron Tamago, who had leaped into the air, looked down at the attack that pierced the sky and split the sea, sweating heavily. He could hardly believe they were facing such an opponent!

"It's like it was Big Mom herself throwing a full-on attack…"

"Ow, ow, ow!!!"

The officers could use their Observation Haki to avoid the attack, but the Queen Mama Chanter below didn't have that luxury.

The huge ship, as large as an aircraft carrier, was instantly pierced by the beam. It entered from the left front of the hull and tore everything in its path to shreds! Everything blocking the beam was wiped out, and a deep, wide hole stretched all the way to the rear right side of the ship! Those with sharp eyesight could even see through the hole to the other side, and the surrounding wood was scorched black, with glowing embers. These were terrifying scars left by the Wapol metal piercing through it.

"Mama~~ Mama!!"

Though the Queen Mama Chanter was a ship, it was also a massive Homie, meaning it had a soul, which meant it could feel pain, fear, and—

Run away!

"I want to go back~~ I don't want to stay here~~ Waaaahhh!!"

The giant ship turned 180 degrees, making a hasty escape, with a large hole in its body, much to the relief of the officers who had landed back on the deck.

"Is that it?"

"That's it."
