章節 4: Becoming a pirate, and beating Morgan

"_" = Speaking

'_' = Thinking

"You're gonna help us? That means you'll become my crewmate, right?" The Straw-hat boy asked Arnold.

"I guess."

"You became a crewmate just like that?!" Zoro asked, sweatdropping.

"I guess so."

"My name's Luffy! nice to meet you!"

"You can call me Arnold."

"My name is C-Coby!" The pink haired boy said.

"A rubber man!" "There's a monster with a cat ear and tail too!" "It's hopeless! We can't fight a rubber man, a cat monster, and that demon Roronoa Zoro at the same time!" The Marines despaired.

"Hear Me!" "All you cowards who were whining just now... Will shoot themselves in the head!" Captain Morgan shouted.

"I won't tolerate defeatists in my outfit!" "On my order... Fire!"

The Marines who were cowering at the new pirate-trio now had a terrified look in their faces. Slowly, with their shaking hands and arms, they raised their gun and aimed it at their own heads.

"Something's wrong with those Naval Marines!" Zoro shouted.

"Why not just let them die?" Arnold asked.

"We can't do that! I bet Morgan's been forcing them to do stuff against their free will! Look at their horrified faces!" Luffy said.

Suddenly, Luffy rushed forward and ran towards Morgan.

"Hey, I'm your enemy... Try putting me to death!" Luffy said as he kicked Morgan away.

"...!"

The Marines who were just about to kill themselves now have stopped, and instead looked at Luffy with surprised eyes.

"Luffy! Destroy this lousy Navy!" Said Coby.

"Beat him up, captain."

"Hmph! You have neither rank nor statues!" "I'll teach you to defy your betters!

"I'm captain Axe-Hand Morgan!" Morgan said, as he swung his Hand-Axe at Luffy.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Straw Hat Luffy!" Luffy introduced himself like the nice captain he is.

"DIE!" Morgan shouted as he tried to hit Luffy with the axe that was there instead of his hand.

Luffy jumped up to avoid the attack, and the axe hit the fence instead, and the fence got destroyed. The destruction that was left behind was surprising.

"Wow! That's sharp!" Coby exclaimed.

"Indeed... It's good that the captain is so agile. Otherwise, he would've died or have gotten a serious injury."

The Axe was quite sharp, and seeing the destruction it caused, Arnold couldn't help but be worried for his new captain.

As if to prove him wrong, Luffy kicked Morgan's face with his feet after jumping up, and Arnold could see that Luffy could be stronger than Morgan.

'Nevermind. He got this.' Arnold thought.

"Boy..." "I sentence you to death!" Morgan said as he brought his axe down to kill Luffy.

"I'm not gonna die!" Luffy said after dodging.

Then, Luffy kicked Morgan on the head, and Morgan fell. Luffy then grabbed Morgan's shirt and got ready to punch him.

"You and your Navy... Are ruining Coby's dream!"

???: "Stop!"

Luffy still hit Morgan, which made Arnold give him a thumbs-up.

Helmeppo: " I said stop, you idiot!" he said as he held a gun to Coby's head.

Helmeppo: "One false move and four-eyes gets it! Even if you blink, I'll shoot!

"Helmeppo...!" The Marines gasped.

"Zoro, who is that ugly Chimpanzee I see there?" Arnold asked Zoro with curiousity while insulting Helmeppo.

"He's a son of Ass-hand Morgan... He's the reason I was captured in the first place!" Zoro told Arnold also while insulting Morgan.

'Ass-hand?' Arnold thought.

"I'm not Ass-hand!/a Chimpanzee!" Morgan and Chimpanzee shouted with anger.

"Hey Luffy! Don't let them win because of me!" Coby said.

"Let him kill me!"

"You're a good guy, Coby!" Luffy said while smiling.

"Hey idiot son of the captain! Coby means it!" He said, while readying his fist for the monkey.

"Luffy! Behind you!" Coby warned.

Morgan was suddenly behind Luffy.

"You've assaulted an officer of the Marines!" Morgan shouted.

"Gomu-Gomu-no..." Luffy started to say his attack name.

Zoro got his swords ready, and Arnold prepared to attack.

"Daddy! Kill him!" The chimpanzee said.

"...Pistol!"

Luffy stretched his arm and punched the monkey, leaving him vulnerable to Morgan's axe-attacks. However, Arnold and Zoro suddenly attacked Morgan, attacking him with swords and a boxing jab.

"Nice...You guys!" Luffy praised.

"No sweat... Captain!" Arnold and Zoro both said as they smirked/smiled

That day, Navy captain Axe-hand Morgan was defeated by three newbie pirates.
