"What kind of person is that pirate hunter Zoro?"

Sailing out of the navy's attack range, Luffy approached Dokby.

"Zoron? I heard that he is now imprisoned in the naval base."

Luffy curled his lips: "What, so weak."

Kebi shook his head: "No, that guy is as scary as a World of Warcraft... Why are you asking these things?"

Luffy smiled brightly: "If he's not bad, I want him to be my partner."

"You're messing around again!"

"Maybe he is a good man!"

"You will be arrested just because you are a bad person!"

I just listened to their argument quietly, while taking out the pencils and sketchbook in my bag to draw, "Luffy, I want an easel."

"Ah, the easel from before was swept away by the whirlpool. I wonder if someone will give it to us if we ask for it." Luffy dragged his chin with his hand and thought seriously.

I sighed, took out the painted chicken legs and stuffed them into his mouth, but this scene frightened Kerby.

"I am also a Devil Fruit user." I explained with a smile. With Luffy taking the lead, he quickly accepted this setting.

Just a few days later, we landed at the naval base.

Luffy picked up a pear on the street and ate it, and asked the fruit seller, "Is that guy named Zoro here?"

The people in the town were so frightened that they fled away. Kebi whispered: "It seems that Sauron's name cannot be mentioned here."

"Anyway, let's go to the naval base first. You want to be a marine, right?" Luffy strode forward, but Kebi hesitated again, "That's true, but I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

"I heard there is a colonel named Mengka here..."

Before I finished speaking, the people in the town hid away from us again. I said calmly: "It seems that the name of the navy cannot be mentioned."

Luffy laughed: "This town is so interesting!"

"It's so strange. Let's not mention Sauron's name for now. Why are you afraid when you mention Colonel Mengka's name?" Kebi was worried, "Even I feel uneasy."

You seem to be uneasy all the time... I thought, but didn't say it out loud.

We clung to the wall and looked at the man who was tied to a cross on the school grounds. He had his head lowered, as if he was dead.

"Hey, you three are an eyesore." The seemingly dead man suddenly said, "Get out of here."

Just when I was about to climb over the wall, a little girl about six or seven years old built a ladder and climbed over the wall. He brought a cloth bag and smiled at the man tied there: "Brother, are you hungry?" I made rice balls."

She unfolded the cloth bag and said, "Although this is my first time making it, I made it very carefully."

"I'm not hungry." Zoro said, "You are an eyesore, go back quickly."

At this time, another blond man came in with a group of sailors. He first snatched the little girl's rice ball. After taking a bite, he shouted that salt should be added to the rice ball instead of sugar. Then he threw the little girl's rice ball to the ground and crushed it with his feet.

According to the conversation, it was learned that the blond bastard was the son of Colonel Monca, and then he ordered a marine to throw the little girl out of the wall.

Luffy stretched out his arms to save the little girl when she was thrown out. Kirby and I checked the little girl's injuries and found that Luffy had already climbed over the wall after we found that she was fine.

I stepped on the ladder to check the situation, and saw Luffy feeding Zoro rice balls, or rice cakes, mixed with sand on the ground.

"Luffy, let's send the little girl home first." I shouted, and Luffy stretched out his arms and jumped over, "I'm going too."

……

The little girl's family owns a restaurant, and the little girl was very happy when Luffy said that Zoro ate all the rice balls made by the little girl.

"Is Zoro really the bad guy in the rumors..." Kebi pondered after hearing this. The little girl retorted, "No, that big brother was tied up instead of us."

"replace?"

"...That day, Belumeb brought his pet hyena to our store. It was the big brother who saved me. Belumeb threatened the eldest brother with our lives and asked him to be tied up in our place. As long as he held on, Let us go in one month."

"Then three weeks later, Belumeb kicked and beat his elder brother. I, I..." The little girl covered her face and cried.

"So this is ah……"

"Clap-"

There was the sound of plates being smashed in the store, and then the sound of Belumeber's beating sounded: "I'm so hungry, please treat us for free."

When we entered the store, we saw that the boy was sitting on a chair with his feet on the table, looking very arrogant.

"Speaking of which, it's been so boring these days. I plan to execute Zoro tomorrow, so everyone should look forward to it hahahaha——"

Luffy rushed towards Belumeb like an arrow and punched him hard in the face.

Kebi quickly stopped Luffy who wanted to continue fighting. Luffy shouted in shock: "This guy is simply a scumbag!"

"Did you hit me? I'm Colonel Monka's son!" Belumeb said bluffingly, but Luffy didn't take his bait at all, "So what!"

"I want to go back and tell dad to let him execute you!" Belumebo yelled, covering his face.

"Just let the horses come!"

Kebi hugged Luffy tightly, "Mr. Luffy, calm down, do you want to be the enemy of the navy?"

I reminded lightly: "Kerby, don't forget that we are pirates, and we are enemies of the navy."

"Lila, I have decided, I want Sauron to be my companion!"

"Understood, Captain."

Belumeb and his people fled in a mighty manner, and we headed to the naval base in a hurry.

"Is it you again? You are such a laid-back guy." Zoro looked at Luffy and me and said. Kobe was still climbing over the wall. Luffy said, "I will help you untie the rope, you can be my partner."

"What did you say?"

"I'm looking for a pirate partner."

"I refuse." Zoro replied instantly, "Do you want me to take the initiative to be your boss? Don't waste your efforts."

"Why is it bad to be a pirate?" Luffy asked, akimbo, and the latter raised his voice: "Pirates are a crooked way, who wants to be a pirate?"

"What does it matter? You are known as the evil bounty hunter anyway."

"No matter what others think of me, I have never done anything I regret. No matter what, I will live on and accomplish what I want to do."

"Eh~ That's it, but I've made up my mind to have you as my partner." Luffy laughed, and Zoro roared: "Don't make decisions on your own!"

"You know how to use a knife, right?" Luffy asked, "Ah, but it was taken away by the colonel's stupid son."

Luffy smiled evilly, "I'll get it back for you, and if you want to get the sword back, you have to be my partner."

"What a mean bastard!"

"Then Lila, wait for me here." Luffy smiled and stretched out his arm and flew a rocket launcher into the base. Zoro looked shocked, "Who is that guy..."

"Rubber Man."
