Chapter 358
Zoro raised his head and curled his lips. It was this guy again.
"It's you again. Are you that leisurely?"
Luffy looked at Zoro seriously: "I'll untie the rope for you, be my companion!"
"What did you say?" Zoro's tone was a bit surprised. He was the famous pirate hunter in the East Blue! Was this kid crazy?
"Eh! I'm looking for companions to be pirates together."
Zoro refused Luffy's invitation without hesitation. Even if he were tied here and starved to death, dying on the pillar, he would absolutely never be any kind of pirate.
Besides, if he wanted to be a pirate, he would have been one long ago. Did he need this guy to invite him?
He had only one purpose for setting sail: to defeat the Navy swordsman Karl and defeat the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk.
Becoming a bounty hunter was just to earn some travel expenses, but the travel expenses were spent quite quickly. He was always spinning around the surrounding islands. He had been a bounty hunter for almost a year, but he hadn't even left the East Blue. Damn it!
"Want me to be a pirate? Don't waste your effort. I, Roronoa Zoro, will never actively collude with you evildoers!"
Luffy scratched his head: "What's wrong with being a pirate?"
"Pirates are crooked paths. Who would be a pirate for no reason?"
Luffy grinned: "What does that have to do with anything? You were already called an evil bounty hunter by others!"
"No matter how others see me, I have never done anything I regret. No matter what, I must live! Complete what I want to do!"
When saying this, Zoro's eyes were very serious, and Luffy nodded in agreement.
"Oh, I see. But I have already made up my mind that you will be my companion."
Hearing this, Zoro was speechless, feeling that the guy wearing the straw hat in front of him didn't seem quite right in the head. In short, he didn't look very smart.
"You use a sword, right?"
Zoro was stunned and then nodded: "Yeah, it's a pity my swords were taken away by Colonel Morgan's stupid son."
"I can help you get them back, but if you want to get your swords back, you have to be my companion, hehe."
Zoro was suddenly furious: "You, you, you bastard!"
Before Zoro could finish, Luffy ran off in a flash toward the Navy base... gate.
Zoro muttered to himself: "Is this guy trying to break into the Navy base alone? How bold! Wait, bastard!!! The Navy base is over there! You went the wrong way!!!"
Facts proved that when he didn't have to walk himself, Zoro knew the way. It was estimated that he was under a curse where it was very difficult to go where he wanted to go, the kind that had no solution.
"Gomu Gomu no... Rocket!!!"
With a whoosh, Luffy flew out directly. Zoro's eyes widened immediately. This guy was actually a Devil Fruit user?
Shells Town.
"Hello, may I ask if the guy called Colonel Morgan is the base commander here?"
The resident who was asked showed a flash of fear in his eyes and hurriedly walked away. Smoker shook his head slightly.
"Asked several people, and they were all like this. It seems that the matter of accusing Morgan of abusing power and oppressing the people should be true."
Karl, standing beside Smoker, pointed to the Navy base not far away and said: "Look over there and you'll know. Tsk tsk tsk, a branch Colonel has the courage to build a statue for himself. I'm so envious. I, a Navy Hero, don't even have a statue!"
"Hmm?" Smoker touched his chin and looked at the marines busy at the high place, snorting coldly: "Just right, the evidence is conclusive. I want to see how this guy explains it!"
After finishing, Smoker dragged Karl and walked quickly toward the Navy base.
Above the base.
Colonel Morgan saw that his statue had been lifted a bit and immediately shouted: "Alright, stop for a moment!"
"You all pay attention to me. Listen to my command later and stand the statue up in one go. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
At this time, Colonel Morgan's stupid son, Helmeppo, said with a grievance: "Dad, why haven't you helped me get revenge yet! That kid with the straw hat hit my face. Even you, Dad, have never hit me!"
Morgan turned his back to his son and said in a deep voice: "Why haven't I hit you until now? Do you know why?"
"Eh? That's because, to Dad, I am..."
"That's right, because you are a..." Morgan turned around suddenly and punched Helmeppo in the face.
"An idiot not worth me hitting! Don't get it wrong!"
"The great one is your dad, which is me! Come to think of it, it seems like a mouse broke into the execution ground."
Helmeppo hurriedly said: "Th, that little girl who gave Zoro the rice ball, I've already taught her a lesson!"
"Have you executed her?"
"Eh, no, no, she's just a little brat..."
Morgan snorted in disdain, pointed to the marine soldiers on the side, and roared: "Hey, you go to town and execute that little girl!"
The marine soldier who was pointed at said in a dilemma: "How can we do that? She, she is just a little girl. Even if it's your order, Colonel, this..."
"Hmph, as long as it's a brat, as long as they defy my orders, they are a rebel."
"But, I can't do it!"
"Hmm?" Morgan raised his arm, which had been transformed into a giant axe, high and smashed it toward the marine soldier, knocking him flying.
"Lieutenant!"
Even Helmeppo couldn't watch anymore and said with a heavy heart: "Isn't doing this too much? Dad?"
Morgan was not ashamed but proud, saying: "I became a Navy Colonel relying on this strength. Listen well, in this world, rank is everything!"
"As the highest commander of this base, I represent that I am the most excellent, so everything I do is correct. Don't you all agree?"
Due to Morgan's might, the marine soldiers present had to shout: "Yes, everything you say is correct!"
Morgan nodded with satisfaction and looked at his statue: "Let's deal with that brat later. The most important thing now is to stand up this statue that represents my symbol of power!"
"I want to show my greatness at the highest point of this base!"
