Chapter 11: Zoro Joins the Group (Please Read On)
Chapter 11 Zoro joins the group (please read~)
"Straw Hat Pirates? Trainer?"
Zoro frowned and asked in confusion: "Why have I never heard of your name?"
Although he is not a very professional bounty hunter, he thinks he has a certain understanding of the nearby pirate groups.
With the courage of Red and Luffy to break into the naval base at will, he cannot have not heard of them.
However, facing Zoro's doubts, Red smiled calmly and replied: "That's normal."
"After all, this is only the second day of our voyage!"
"What!? The second day!?"
Zoro was slightly startled, and then the corners of his mouth twitched: "You dared to trespass into the naval base and release prisoners just after we went out to sea. Do you think your life is too long?!"
"Haha~ It's just a naval base, how can it be as serious as you say."
Red laughed indifferently, and then added:
"In fact, to be precise, it has not been 24 hours since we went out to sea!"
"It's not an exaggeration to say that this is our first day at sea."
"But I believe..."
"In the future, the name of the Straw Hat Pirates will surely resound throughout the world!!!"
"Are you right, Luffy?"
Red tilted his head and looked at Luffy.
Luffy, who heard this, immediately threw away the rope in his hand, raised his arms high, and shouted confidently:
"Of course!!!"
"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!!!"
"You..."
Zoro blinked, looked at Luffy, who seemed to be in a bad mental state, and then cast a puzzled look at the inexplicably confident Red.
"Have you always been like this?!"
"Maybe." Red smiled and comforted:
"There is no way, our captain's personality is like this."
"Since you can't change it, you can only get used to it slowly!"
"How can you get used to it!?"
"Wait!"
"Our captain?"
Zoro's face froze, "Hey! When did I promise you to become a pirate!?"
Snap!
A crisp sound was heard.
Suddenly, Red put his hands on Zoro's shoulders, then approached him and said:
"Give up resistance, Zoro."
"The guy Luffy likes can't run away, just like me!"
"I even suspect that I have to go to sea with him because of his protagonist halo..."
"Protagonist halo?" Zoro said he didn't understand what Red was talking about.
But Red waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't worry about those details."
"Anyway, you will be on the navy's blacklist soon, and it won't be much better even if you don't become a pirate."
"Come with us!"
"The small East China Sea really restricts your development!"
"Go to sea with us, go to the Grand Line, and see the real world!!!"
Red's tone suddenly became heavier, and his eyes looked at Zoro's eyes seriously.
"Your goal should be to become the world's number one swordsman, right?"
"Have you heard my story?" Zoro asked back.
"No! It's your face that is full of stories!"
Zoro: "???"
"Hahaha, just kidding."
Red laughed: "Anyway, don't think of running away once you're on the pirate ship!"
"You are the number one fighter of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"Correspondingly, let me help you realize your dreams and ambitions!!!"
"Help me? Just you?"
Zoro frowned.
Although he thought he was very powerful just wandering in the East China Sea, he was not so ignorant that he thought his dream was easy to realize.
What's more, he didn't feel a trace of swordsman's momentum on Red.
"It's not a good habit to brag." He looked at Red and Luffy seriously.
Red smiled and responded: "Have you forgotten my identity?"
"Although I'm still a newcomer, I'm also a trainer!!!"
"Trainer? What's that!?" Zoro asked curiously.
Red's eyes flashed, and he felt that this would be an excellent opportunity for Zoro to recognize his identity as a trainer.
But just when he was about to answer, Luffy suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Red, someone is coming!"
"Huh?"
Red's tone paused, and then he immediately followed Luffy's gaze and looked behind him.
A guy with a big golden back hair and a distinct butt chin was escorted by two gun-wielding navy officers and walked towards their direction.
The man was the son of Monka, who had made an agreement with Zoro to tie him up here - Berumeber!
At this time, he looked like a silly son of a nouveau riche, holding up his collar in a showy manner and walking with a high-handed pace.
"Yo yo yo~ There's a lot of noise downstairs, I thought something happened?"
"So the pirate hunter who swore so solemnly would break his promise and let his companions put you down in advance!?"
"It seems you are ready to go to jail!"
After saying that, Bellemer suddenly turned his eyes to Red and Luffy, and said in his ugly and sharp duck voice:
"Hey! And you two guys! Don't you know that in the 153rd branch, jailbreaking is a capital crime!?"
"Death penalty!" Akame snorted, with a flash of anger in his eyes.
Because of Berumeber's interruption, he had to find a chance to explain to Zoro the meaning of a trainer later.
Akame slowly turned his gaze to Berumeber.
"First, I'm not calling hello!"
"Second... Zoro's saber should have been taken away by you, right?"
He suddenly said to Luffy:
"Luffy, deal with those two marines, and then let this guy help us get Zoro's saber back!"
"No problem!"
Luffy grinned.
"Shave!"
As soon as the words fell, a light cloud of dust quickly rose from his feet.
And Luffy's figure, at this moment, completely disappeared from the spot!
"What!?"
Zoro, who didn't see how Luffy disappeared, was shocked, and then heard overlapping screams from his side.
He immediately turned his eyes and saw...
The two marines who had just followed Berumeber collapsed to the ground at this moment.
And beside them, it was Luffy who disappeared!
"How is it possible?! Is this magic?!" Zoro shouted in surprise.
"This is not magic~"
Seeing Zoro's surprised expression, Red, who felt that there was a chance, immediately showed a meaningful smile and took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot to Zoro:
"That is the move that I, the trainer, taught Luffy!"
"Trainer?" Zoro murmured again in his heart.
Although he hadn't figured out what this thing was, because of the speed shown by Luffy, he couldn't help but add a layer of powerful and mysterious filter when he looked at Red.
He even forgot about refusing to become a pirate!
"What... what's going on!?"
Hearing the screams of the navy behind him, Berumeber suddenly felt a chill on his back.
And when he turned around and saw Luffy's big smiling face, the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and his body was stiff and unable to move.
At this time, Chihong walked to the side of an unconscious navy, reached out and picked up a long-barreled musket, and then pointed the black muzzle at Bellemeber's chest with a smile on his face.
"Now, can you speak properly?"
Devil... Devil!!!
Seeing the smile on Chihong's face, Bellemeber's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat.
For some reason, he had an inexplicable intuition in his heart:
"If I say something wrong later, he will definitely pull the trigger without hesitation!"
Bellemeber asked tremblingly: "You... what do you want to do!?"
Then, he found the playful smile in Chihong's eyes.
"Don't be nervous."
"Your name is Bellemeber, right? Colonel Monka's son?"
"We just want you to help us retrieve the knives of our crew members and visit your father by the way."
"Ah!? Visit your father!?" Bellemeber screamed in panic, but he felt the muzzle of the gun against his chest getting stronger. He immediately closed his mouth and put on a flattering smile:
"Hahaha~ It's a small matter, a small matter."
"The knives are in my room, and my father is also on the roof of the naval base."
"As long as you let me go, I will agree to any conditions!"
Of course, he said so, but in Bellemeber's heart, he was thinking: "When you see my father, it will be the death of you all!"
Looking at the hatred hidden deep in Bellemeber's eyes, although Red noticed it, he said nothing, but just pushed Bellemeber a few more times, indicating that he should start leading the way.
Luffy and Zoro looked at each other and followed.
…
…
Under the leadership of Bellemer, they successfully entered the building of the Navy Branch.
But strangely, there was not a single navy soldier in the building at this time, so Akane and others had no problems all the way.
In just about ten minutes, they came to Bellemer's room and found Zoro's three long swords.
A large sharp sword, Twenty-one Kungfu - Wado Ichimonji, and two ordinary knives.
Seeing Zoro put all three swords on his waist, Luffy immediately showed curiosity:
"Hey, why do you have three swords?"
"Humph!" Zoro's eyes flashed with pride, "Because I am a three-sword style!"
After taking back the saber, his momentum and mentality seemed to have become completely different, and he even forgot that he was surprised and lost his composure because of Luffy's speed not long ago.
But soon, Zoro's expression became serious again.
He looked at Luffy and Akane with a complicated expression, and then said:
"Well, since you helped me get my saber back, and I've fallen out with the navy and have nowhere to go..."
"Then I'll be your partner... with great reluctance!!!"
"But I'll be frank!"
"My goal is to become the world's number one swordsman!"
"If any of you dare to stop my ambition, be ready to commit seppuku to me!!!"
At this moment, Zoro's eyes suddenly burst into a wild and fierce light, as if telling Akane and Luffy that he was not joking.
However, when he finished his handsome declaration of joining the gang, he turned around and saw a silly face picking his nose.
"Ah, what are you talking about?"
Luffy said strangely:
"After I untied you, didn't you become our partner!?"
"You guy!" Zoro's forehead veins trembled, and he shouted angrily: "Don't take the promise you made to yourself seriously!"
"And..."
He quickly turned his eyes to Red:
"Are you sure this guy can really serve as the captain? Why do I think you are more reliable!"
"Hahaha~" Red grinned, "Don't say that, Luffy is sometimes very reliable!"
"Right, Luffy?"
"That's right!"
Luffy, who picked out a piece of snot, nodded and said, and flicked his little finger lightly, just flicking the snot onto Berumeber's body.
"I am very reliable!"
