Chapter 360

"Ah, sorry, are you okay?"

Looking at Karl's hypocritical expression, Smoker raised his fist, then lowered it, raised his fist again, and lowered it again.

Forget it, let him off. The main thing was that there was serious business to do today, otherwise he would never let Karl off!

"By the way, it seems like a brat in red clothes went up just now, right?"

Karl nodded. Isn't that Luffy? If he runs into him today, he's in for a rough time.

"Looks like something happened. Hmm, let's wait here. If nothing goes wrong, they should be coming down in a moment."

Smoker looked up at the high place and tore open the "camouflage suit" draped over his body, revealing his white justice cloak. Seeing this, Karl also took off his mask and put on his justice cloak.

After destroying the upper body of the statue, Luffy scratched his head with an apologetic look: "Ah, sorry!"

Morgan's mouth twitched wildly, his eyes red as he roared: "Catch that guy for me, I must slaughter him!!!"

"Yes, Colonel Morgan!"

Seeing that it was Luffy, Helmeppo immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Dad, it's this guy, he's the one who hit..."

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Helmeppo's collar with a whoosh: "Ah, it's you! I was looking for you! Come with me quickly, there's something you need to return!"

"Ah, ah, ah, let me go!"

Then Luffy hugged Helmeppo and ran toward the stairs.

Helmeppo: Are we that familiar? I hate this kind of person who has no sense of boundaries!

"Chase him! Don't let him escape!"

"Colonel, someone has broken into the execution ground!"

Hearing this, Morgan looked down. A pink-haired boy was running quickly toward Zoro in the execution ground, seemingly wanting to untie the ropes for him.

Morgan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "Are rebels appearing one after another?"

Execution ground.

Coby untied Zoro's ropes while saying: "Run away quickly, Mr. Zoro!"

Zoro said in confusion: "If you do this, you will be killed."

"I can no longer watch the behavior of these marines. I, I want to become a righteous marine."

"Stop it! I can't run! There are ten days left..."

Coby looked at Zoro and said seriously: "You will be executed tomorrow."

"What?" Zoro was shocked. Wasn't it agreed that if he persisted here for a month, he could... could it be.

"Helmeppo never intended to keep your agreement, so Mr. Luffy hit Helmeppo in a fit of anger. Now Mr. Luffy is being hunted by the Navy... I won't ask you to be a pirate, but, please, help Mr. Luffy!"

Zoro looked at the Navy base on the side and remained silent.

"Only Mr. Luffy can save you, but I think the only one who can save Mr. Luffy is Mr. Zoro."

"That's enough! Because you have committed the crime of rebellion, I will execute you on the spot!"

Morgan appeared on the execution ground with a team of marine soldiers, and the marines also raised their guns one after another, aiming at Zoro and Coby.

"You actually dare to run wild on my turf. Are the three of you, along with that kid with the straw hat, trying to stage a coup?"

Smoker, who was hiding in the corner with Karl, chuckled: "This guy is really arrogant. He even brought up a coup. Does he think he's the emperor here?"

Karl touched his chin with interest: "If it's this town, he really is no different from an emperor... so isn't that why we're here?"

"Should we make a move now?"

Karl shook his head: "No, let's wait a bit longer! That kid with the straw hat hasn't appeared yet!"

Smoker shrugged helplessly and had to accompany Karl in the corner, silently smoking his cigar.

On the execution ground, Zoro turned his head to look at Morgan: "I've always fought alone, which is vastly different from you, a guy who bullies people by relying on the army!"

"Hmph, Roronoa Zoro, don't underestimate me! With your strength, you're nothing in front of my power!"

"Ready!"

Zoro gritted his teeth, looking at the dozens of pitch-black gun barrels in front of him.

"I, absolutely cannot, die in a place like this!!!"

"Shoot him!!!"

"I'm coming!!!"

Bang, bang, bang! The muskets fired in unison.

Luffy, carrying three swords, descended from the sky, spread his hands, and blocked in front of Zoro and Coby. The bullets hit Luffy one by one, but they couldn't penetrate his body at all, as if his body were made of rubber.

Zoro's eyes widened in shock: "You!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Luffy's mouth, and he straightened his body and shouted happily: "Useless! Hahahaha, didn't I say it? I'm very strong!"

"You, who exactly are you?"

Smoker in the corner was also slightly surprised: "This kid is actually a Devil Fruit user?"

Before Karl could answer, Smoker was stunned because that kid with the straw hat said with a serious face.

"I am Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!"

Once these words were out, everyone present, except for Karl, was somewhat shocked.

"Pirate King? You, what are you talking about! Do you know what this means?"

"The Pirate King is the Pirate King, is there any other meaning?"

Coby, on the side, said worshipfully: "I was startled at first too, but Mr. Luffy is serious. He is just that kind of person!"

Smoker threw away his cigar and looked at Karl on the side, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing that Karl still had that calm and composed expression, he felt a bit helpless. This guy is really the same as ever!

Luffy laughed and handed the three swords on his back to Zoro: "Here, these are the swords you wanted. Which one is it? I'm not sure, so I brought all three."

"All three are mine, because I am a Three-Sword Style user."

Three-Sword Style? Luffy indicated he didn't understand, but was greatly shocked. However, his main purpose now wasn't to figure out what Three-Sword Style was, but...

"So, do you want to? If you fight side-by-side with me here, you will become a bad guy who rebels against the government, or you will be killed by the Navy just like this. Which do you think is better?"

Zoro's mouth turned up slightly: "You guy... forget it. Rather than dying here, I might as well be a pirate!"

"Great, you're willing to be my companion! Great, Wuhu!!"

The marine soldiers on the side were still shocked that Luffy could ignore the bullets. With little knowledge, they didn't even know what a Devil Fruit user was.

"Who, who exactly is he?"

"No matter who they are, as long as they oppose me, they will definitely die. If guns don't work, then hack him to death for me!"

"Ahhhhh! Charge!!!"

Seeing that Luffy still hadn't untied the ropes, Zoro roared with bared fangs and brandished claws: "Don't dawdle, give me the swords quickly!!!"

"Ga!"

The raven on Karl's shoulder turned into a black long sword, which was held in Karl's palm.

"It's about time for us to take the stage......"
