Chương 7: Chapter 7
After Luffy saved the little girl, the three of them went to their restaurant.
"That green-haired brother is not at all what you think, it's just that people are afraid of him..." The little girl told the three of them what happened.
It turned out that Captain Morgan followed his son's temperament, Helmeppo led the dog to hurt people everywhere, and Zoro beat the dog to death to protect the little girl. To atone for his sins, Zoro voluntarily tied to a cross and did not eat or drink for nine days.
"I know that those cruel words he said just now were also to protect me. I have never seen such a kind person like big brother..." the little girl said, tears unstoppable.
"Kneel obediently for me! Otherwise, I will come back and tell my father!"
At this time, Helmeppo was pacing the streets like a nobleman, followed by several marines, demonstrating to the residents and asking people to kneel down.
Forced by Captain Morgan's arrogance, the men had to go for it and kneel on both sides of the road.
"You better be honest with me. Do you want to end up like Roronoa Zoro? Three days later, I will have him publicly executed. This is an example for people who disobey my father's orders. This is really exciting."
Not far away, Luffy heard this and stepped forward: "Don't you guys have a one month agreement? How come it's been three days?"
Helmeppo looked very arrogant: "Can't you hear me? I said three days now means three days."
He went back on his words like this, and suddenly angered Luffy, and he could only punch him in the face.
Helmeppo was bleeding from his nose and mouth, two of his teeth fell out, and he fell to the ground.
Coby was frightened, and stepped forward and grabbed Luffy: "Luffy, stop quickly! Calm down!"
Luffy's face was firm: "Coby, I've decided, I want to make Zoro a partner!"
"He really dared to beat Helmeppo!"
"Is the Captain just going to sit back and watch?"
Helmeppo had a bruised nose and a swollen face: "How dare you hit me, I'm Captain Morgan's son..."
Before he finished speaking, Kondo flew up and kicked him hard in the face, there was a clear imprint of the straw sandal on his face.
"If you want to fight, fight, you talk too much nonsense." Said Kondo who was a little irritated, 'This bastard is just a baby bird that hasn't come out of the nest yet'
"Shit, remind me of that and wait for my father to execute you all!"
"You spoiled brat" Kondo sneered as he kicked him out of the restaurant.
...
Branch 153, naval base camp.
Captain Morgan smoked a cigar, slowly exhaled the cigar smoke, looked at his statue on the high platform of the office, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm really great."
To show his greatness and prowess, Morgan ordered his soldiers to build a very large statue of himself.
He may have reached a higher level of narcissism.
Beside him, his adjutant gave the standard military salute: "Of course, since you are Captain Morgan!"
And Morgan seems to have gotten used to this kind of stalking: "Hey, don't you think the residents reward me a lot less than they used to?"
The adjutant continued to salute with trepidation: "Yes... yes, about the finances dedicated to the Captain, because the residents' financial resources are very limited!"
Morgan's face darkened suddenly when he heard the words: "It's not a matter of how big the economy is, but whether they respect me or not!"
While he was talking, Helmeppo rushed in frantically: "Father...Father, I hope you can help me to kill a few people for me..."
...
At this time, in the open space of the marine base, Luffy and Kondo climbed over the wall again and came upon Zoro.
"Why are you here again?" Zoro looked impatient when he saw the two coming.
Kondo: "I appreciate the use of the word 'again', but then again, if we don't come, you will surely die."
Zoro was full of doubts when he heard the words: "Death? Oi old man, what do you mean?"
'This bastard has the nerve!' Kondo thought angrily as he saw the smirk on Zoro's face.
Luffy waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, my name is Luffy, I will help you untie the rope, so come and be our partner."
Zoro looked a little disdainful: "I still have very important things to do, who wants to be a villain with you."
Kondo suddenly smiled: "Do you think you are still considered a good person now? Now people hear your name as if they heard 'The devil is coming'."
Zoro also laughed: "Is my reputation worse than yours? I don't care what others say, I've never done anything against my beliefs, and I will never do anything in the future, so I won't be like a pirate and going to sea with you."
Luffy didn't care what he said at this time: "I don't care, after all, I have decided that you will be our partner."
Zoro's head grew bigger: "Don't make self-claims!"
It almost becomes a routine with Luffy's members boarding the ship.
Kondo: "By the way, where are your three swords?"
"I was tied up here and of course my sword was also taken by them."
"Okay, then we'll help you get it back."
"What?"
Luffy continued: "If you want to return the sword, you must promise to become our partner."
Zoro's head grew bigger and his saliva was splashing: "You are really cunning!"
'Luffy, this brat, his brain must only contain muscles and only one thinking cell.' Kondo thought.
Saying that, Luffy and Kondo ran to the base.
Looking at the back of the two, Zoro didn't just sigh: "Two idiots..."
At this time, on the high platform at the base.
The large statue of Morgan was finally finished, Morgan sat down under the high platform and ordered the soldiers to erect the statue with ropes.
"Okay, just from this position, start pulling!"
Looking at the statue that was gradually standing up, Morgan touched the iron ax in his right arm, and he felt an incomparable pride in his heart.
Just when his arrogance was completely satisfied, his son Helmeppo came to him and shouted: "Father, they beat me like this, don't you intend to get back at me? You haven't hit my face since I was a child."
Seeing him screaming in front of him, Morgan's face was even colder: "Do you know why I never hit you?"
"Of course...of course because I'm your son..." Helmeppo said properly.
"You're right, but you need to add to your words..." After speaking, Morgan stood up.
"Well?"
"You are a pitiful son who absolutely does not deserve to be beaten with my hands!"
Helmeppo thought that his father was going to say something touching, but suddenly, he was squashed with a punch, and Helmeppo flew out and fell to the ground with a bang.
Helmeppo's face was even more swollen than before, but Morgan didn't feel the least bit depressed. Instead, he grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up: "Why should I repay you? You can use my authority, but don't ask me to do it for you. What's great is your father, not you!"
Even though Helmeppo was her biological son, in Morgan's eyes he was just a familiar stranger. Even if this son was beaten to death on the street, Morgan would never show mercy.
On the other hand.
"I said you are stupid, how can the sword be placed on the high platform?" Kondo couldn't help but groan after seeing Luffy running towards the base.
"There is no navy to be found below, and this is the only way to go here." Luffy pouted and said.
Helpless, Luffy crashed all the way, Kondo could only follow.
'I'm lucky I'm not the captain, otherwise whether the memory of Yamamoto or the memory of me before having a headache due to the actions of a subordinate, would probably repeat itself'
on a high platform.
"Pull, pull hard!"
Almost all the warriors are here, desperately erecting the Morgan statue.
"Huh? There's a sound over there," said Luffy, his arms stretched out, he didn't know what he was holding, and the elastic force of the rubber sent him flying. And Kondo also followed from the stairs.
It turned out that Luffy grabbed the stone statue of Morgan and immediately flew to the high platform.
"God, I must be hallucinating."
"What the hell?"
When the marine soldiers saw a human's outstretched arm appear on the stone statue's head, they couldn't help but scream out loud.
When everyone was shocked, the strength in their hands also relaxed, and as soon as the rope was released, the entire stone statue fell backwards, and with a clear and loud sound, it fell directly into two pieces!
Everyone was immediately frightened!
"I'm sorry..." Luffy waved his hand apologetically. Kondo came to see this scene and knew he was in trouble.
"Bring them to me! I will kill them!" cried Morgan hysterically.
Soldier: "Follow...follow orders!"
Helmeppo didn't forget to fan the flames and pointed at the two of them: "Father...Father, it was those two who hit me, so I have to face them!"
The marines got the order and surrounded them with rifles. Luffy and Kondo ran and fought, and quickly broke out of the encirclement and ran into the office area of the tower.
At this time, a guard on the tower notices that in an open space, Coby is desperately untying the ropes for Zoro.
Seeing this scene, Morgan's face was even more angry: "These bastard traitors, I will expel all of you and kill them!"
Outdoor.
Zoro also found that the marines had rioted, and said to Coby: "They have found this place, you must escape."
Coby: "No, I have to untie the ropes for you."
Zoro: "Don't worry about me, as long as I last for a month I will be fine. That idiot kid promised me."
Coby pushed up his glasses: "They won't let you go, and in three days, you will be executed! He didn't intend to abide by the agreement at all, so Luffy-san and Kondo-san beat him up for you!"
"He...what?!" If it wasn't for Coby who said it, Zoro would still be kept a secret by his innocence.
"So, please, once the rope is released, please go and help Luffy-san and Kondo-san right away!"
"Don't even think of running away! You two are traitors! Just die!"
While Coby and Zoro were talking, Morgan came with marines and surrounded them.
"Surround this area, don't let the other two invaders escape!" Morgan ordered.
"Ready!"
After that, Morgan turned to Zoro: "Do you four want to riot? Roronoa Zoro, your name is like thunder, but don't underestimate me, shoot them!"
"Ready!"
Morgan waved the command, the marines raised their rifles in unison, shoved the bullets into the rifles, and aimed the dark, cold muzzles at Zoro and Coby.
Seeing that his life was over, Zoro's eyes showed incomparable shock.
He wasn't out of fear, but because he still had unfulfilled dreams and promises with someone.
'Damn, I still have things to do! I can't die in a place like that!'
Looking at the gun muzzles aimed at him, it seemed that the death of the two of them had been declared.
"Shoot!"
Morgan gave the order, and the entire navy pulled the trigger.
As the two of them showed their despair, another two jumped down from the top floor to block them.
It was Luffy and Kondo.
Luffy was in front and blocked all the bullets.
"Hey, you..."
"Totally ineffective, hahaha!"
When everyone thought Luffy was dead, all the bullets bounced back!
Except for Kondo, no one here knew that he was a person made of rubber.
Zoro: "Who are you exactly?"
"I... the guy who wants to be the Pirate King! So what? Stay tied up here and die or join with me to become a pirate?"
At this time, Zoro also understood that if he continued to be bound here, there would only be a dead end, and an evil smile appeared on his face: "I have decided that instead of dying in such a place, it is better to go to sea with you pirates!"
"You mean be my partner?" Luffy raised his fist and shouted excitedly.
Zoro : "Yes, hurry up and untie the rope for me!"
"What the hell is that person?"
Watching Luffy reflect all the bullets, the navy muttered.
Morgan is still a little knowledgeable: "It seems that the kid is not an ordinary person, he must have a devil fruit ability!"
"Devil Fruit? A legendary Treasure?"
The East Blue is the weakest sea among the four seas, and people's knowledge is very limited, so naturally it is inevitable to be surprised to see a devil fruit person by chance.
Luffy's hands and feet aren't very fast, and Zoro's ropes are getting dead.
Seeing Luffy like this, Kondo shook his head helplessly, waved his Zanpakutō, cut the rope with his katana, and the rope was cut in an instant.
"Since the bullets are ineffective against him, cut them with the sword, remember! Anyone who disobeys my orders will die!"
Morgan shouted angrily, and the navy rushed over with swords.
Unbound, Zoro is like a beast that has come out of its cage. He swung the three swords freely and alone, holding the naval sword: "If you dare to move, you will die under my sword!"
When the marines saw this, they obediently put their swords on Zoro's blade, not to mention moving, they didn't even dare to take a breath. In East Blue, the reputation of a pirate hunter is no joke.
Zoro confronts Luffy and Kondo: "I promised you to become a pirate. Since I fought against the navy, I will definitely be included in the list of bad people. However, I also have ambitions of my own!"
"Ambition?"
"I want to become the world's No. 1 swordsman, even if I'm notorious, I'll be famous all over the world! You made me become a pirate, so if one day you want to force me to give up my dream, then I'll cut you down in front of me!"
Luffy: "The number one swordsman in the world? That's really good! Partner of the Pirate King, at least has a title like that."
Zoro: "Humph! You sure know how to say it!"
"What are you dumbfounded for! Hurry up and execute these people!" On the other hand, Morgan was already pressing for orders.
Behind, the marines attacked the four in front.
