Pirates: Knowledge is power

What happened after that was like being guided by fate.

The barrel that Luffy was in was salvaged by Arrita's pirates.

Here, Luffy met the timid but quite naval Kirby, and defeated everyone in the Arrita Pirates.

After Luffy defeated all his enemies, he went with Kirby to find his first partner.

With Kebi's guidance, the two soon arrived at a naval base.

Although this is just a naval base in the East China Sea, there is not even a strong one.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this naval base is also an existence that is difficult to defeat.

Here, Luffy found his first partner in destiny.

He is also a pirate hunter who is currently somewhat famous in the East China Sea, Roronoa Zoro.

It's just that Zoro was caught by the navy voluntarily because of the conspiracy and tied to a cross in the base yard.

The moment Luffy saw Zoro, he already recognized him as his partner, so he went to the naval base alone to retrieve the lost saber for his companion.

Despite some setbacks, Luffy successfully found Zoro's sword.

While Luffy was looking for the knife, Kirby came to Zoro and tried to untie him.

The two communicated for a long time, but Kebi couldn't solve it after a long time.

Until Mengka and his men rushed over, Sauron hadn't even freed a hand, and the two of them fell into danger together.

At a high place, Luffy saw that Zoro was about to be in danger, so he grabbed the window and ejected, jumping down from the high building of the base.

Looking at the bullets flying towards him, Zoro closed his eyes in despair at this moment.

At this time, he was still tied to the cross. He really couldn't imagine how he could avoid the bullets flying towards him at this time.

He is not afraid of death, but his dream has not been completed yet. He still wants to become the world's best swordsman.

But he didn't expect that his dream would be so short-lived, and he would die before even leaving the East China Sea.

At the critical moment, Luffy fell from the sky and opened his arms to block Zoro and Kirby.

While everyone looked surprised, he used his rubber body to block the flying bullets for Zoro.

"it's useless!"

The bullet stretched on Luffy's body, and the pretense was successful. Luffy smiled and rebounded all the bullets with his body.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, didn't I say before, I'm very strong!"

The group of people who had lived in the East China Sea since birth were surprised and confused when they saw Luffy.

Both Zoro and the Marines showed shocked expressions when they saw that bullets were ineffective against Luffy.

"Who are you?" Zoro asked.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!" Luffy pointed at himself and said with great confidence.

After the introduction, Luffy handed the knife he was carrying to Zoro.

"Here, I can't figure out which knife you have, so I brought them all."

"Three Eights are all mine, because I am a swordsman of the Three Sword Style." Zoro struggled with his arms.

Seeing his beloved sword back at his side, Zoro was expressionless, but he couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Hmm~"

Luffy hummed in confusion. He didn't know what the Three Blades Style was. He only knew that Zoro was very strong.

"Are you willing to promise me? If you fight alongside me now, you will be a demon wanted by the World Government. Or do you want to be killed by the navy like this?"

Luffy asked with a smile, he believed Zoro would make a choice.

"I think you are the devil." Zoro laughed, his eyes gradually narrowed, and his aura became dangerous.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, instead of dying here, why don't I promise you... to become a pirate!"

Rather than die here, Sauron wants to live. He can die chasing his dreams, but he must not die here in frustration.

Compared with death not being able to realize one's dreams, opposing the world government and being wanted by pirates are nothing.

Now the only way he can pursue his dreams is to survive.

As for becoming a pirate or something, Zoro doesn't care at all.

He became a pirate hunter just so he could wield his sword against strong men.

The title of "pirate hunter" was a title given to him by others without authorization, and he never cared about it.

As for becoming a pirate and not becoming the world's greatest swordsman, there seems to be no need to worry. After all, isn't the current world's greatest swordsman also a pirate?

"Great, you are willing to agree to be my partner, great, great!" Luffy celebrated with joy when he heard Zoro agreed.

"Asshole, why don't you help me untie the rope!" Zoro had enough confidence to become a companion and shouted at Luffy.

He didn't even look at what was going on and just had fun there. He didn't want to die here!

"That guy is amazing."

"The bullets actually bounced back."

"It seems that the guy in the straw hat is no ordinary person."

Compared with ordinary soldiers who were shocked and speechless, "Axe King" Mengka was obviously much calmer.

As a naval captain, he was also someone who climbed out of the dead.

He has seen more than the ordinary navy combined. Unlike those soldiers, he has never even seen ability users.

"That boy in the straw hat must have eaten some kind of devil fruit."

"Devil Fruit!"

"The secret treasure of the sea!"

Different from the fear of those soldiers, Mengka doesn't care whether the opponent is a person with abilities or not. As long as he threatens him, he can cut down the opponent even if he is a naval hero!

"Hmph! No matter who the other person is, anyone who dares to go against me must be executed!"

"Since the gun doesn't work, then just chop him to death with a knife!"

As Mengka raised his ax hand, the surrounding soldiers had to rush forward no matter how scared they were.

You might not die if you fight the pirate hunter and that demon.

But as long as they dare to disobey Mengka's orders, the ax will hit them in the next second.

The base navy, which has been bullied by Mengka for many years, has long been afraid to disobey each other, and can only accept it even if they are asked to do evil.

A group of people shouted for each other to be brave, and rushed forward waving the knives in their hands.

A dozen knives were swung out together. Zoro, who had broken free from the rope, picked up three of his knives and blocked all the attacks in a flash!

"Roronoa Zoro!" Mengka looked at this scene and was already itching his teeth with anger.

Seeing that Zoro blocked all the attacks in just a moment, Luffy's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"If you move again, you will die by my sword!"

Sauron has experienced this period of torture, and has become extremely exhausted both physically and mentally, but a mere group of soldiers cannot pose a threat to him at all.
