Chapter 407 Partner
As a swordsman, Zoro naturally has his stunning edge, even if he is tied up.
When Luffy and Kerby were lying on the wall of the naval base and seeing Zoro, the timid Kerby was even scared by Zoro.
When Zoro looked over the wall and discovered the existence of Luffy and Kerby.
He had been tied up for nine days and was hungry and thirsty, so he spoke to Luffy and said, "Hey, boy over there, come and help me untie the rope?"
After being tied up for a long time, Zoro also wanted to relieve himself. He promised Monca that he would persist in living for a month, but he did not say that he had to be tied up.
He opened his mouth and scared Kebi again. Kebi lay on the wall and said tremblingly: "He...he spoke!"
After hearing Zoro's words, Luffy wanted to go up and help Zoro untie the rope, but Kebi felt that Zoro, the person caught by the navy, might be a murderer without blinking, so he was worried and wanted to stop him.
As a result, at this moment, a cute little girl appeared and sent rice balls to Zoro.
The residents of Shelds Town were very angry about Zoro's arrest, because Zoro protected the people in the town after all, but because of his fear of Monca, people dared not speak out.
But the children would not think so much. They felt that the person who beat Berumeber must be a good person, so they thought of giving Zoro some food.
However, before Zoro could drive away the little girl who was ignorant of danger, Berumebo appeared. He snatched the rice ball from the little girl's hand, took a bite, and threw it on the ground and stepped on it. Then he let the little girl throw it out of the wall.
Luffy caught the little girl outside, and witnessed the passing throughout the whole process and heard the conversation between Berumeber and Zoro. After patting his pants, he climbed over the wall and came to Zoro.
"Hmm? You haven't left yet?" Zoro looked at Luffy with surprise.
"I'm looking for a partner to go out to sea and be a pirate together!" Luffy said.
"Oh? Are you going to let me go and let me be your partner?" Zoro asked.
Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head and said, "I don't have this plan yet, because I heard you are a bad guy!"
This so-called bad guy is of course the news from Monca. Now he has the final say in the entire town of Shelds. Even if he turns right and wrong, no one dares to question him. This is the description of Zoro after Luffy and Kebby came to the island.
"Hmph, even if you don't help me untie the rope, I can still survive by myself. As long as I persist for a month, that bastard will let me go!" Zoro said.
Zoro is still relatively naive now. He thought Monca would really abide by the agreement, but he didn't know that Monca had never thought about it like this. Even if Zoro really persisted, Monca would take advantage of Zoro's extremely weak opportunity to put him in prison.
Luffy was about to leave, but at this moment, Zoro stopped him.
"Help help, pick up the rice ball and feed it to me!" Zoro looked at the dusty rice ball on the ground that was trampled by Berumebo.
Luffy picked up the rice ball and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Ah? Do you want to eat this? This has turned into mud."
"Stop talking!" Zoro opened his mouth and said, "Take it over!"
Luffy had no choice but to hand over the rice ball and feed it to Zoro's mouth. Zoro chewed a few bites of rice balls full of mud and sand, raised his neck and swallowed it.
With his head down, Zoro said to Luffy: "Hey, boy, can you please bring me a message to the little girl just now? I just said the rice ball is delicious, thank you for your hospitality..."
"Haha!" Luffy couldn't help laughing.
The trajectory of history is slightly different. Originally, Zoro was caught by killing the wolfdog raised by Berumebo, but now he has encountered Berumebo's move when bullying people. However, even though there are subtle differences, Luffy still looked at Zoro.
After Luffy left, found the little girl and conveyed what Zoro said to her, he also heard the complete story from the little girl.
Originally, he thought Zoro was caught by the Navy as a bad guy, but now Luffy has changed his mind about Zoro.
At this moment, Luffy met Berumeber on the street again. Not only did he see the residents of Shelds town kneeling down to him in fear, but he also heard from Berumeber that his father had decided that he had planned to execute Zoro in three days.
Luffy immediately realized that Zoro's persistence was meaningless and that he was not going to let him go.
When Luffy thought of Zoro eating the dirty rice ball, he walked up with a calm expression and beat Berumeber up.
Kebi was shocked, and he never expected that Luffy had also taken action against Berumeber.
"Luffy, are you crazy? Do you want to be an enemy of the Navy?" Kerby hurriedly hugged Luffy and dissuaded him.
"I decided, I want him to be my partner!" Luffy said seriously...
When Berumeber shouted to take revenge and was carried back by the navy soldiers, Luffy returned to the square again and met Zoro.
Then, he proposed to Zoro as his partner.
Zoro refused at the beginning. Although Ian was the example in front of him, Pirates were still the representative of bad guys in Zoro's philosophy. However, when Luffy told him that Monca did not intend to abide by the agreement and planned to execute him, Zoro stopped doing it.
The reason why he could persist was because he was afraid of implicating the innocent residents in the town, but when he found that his persistence was not taken seriously by others, Zoro was also furious.
"Can you help me get my knife?" Zoro said to Luffy.
"Are you good at using a knife?" Luffy asked curiously.
"Well..." Zoro was unwilling to explain more.
Luffy didn't ask any more questions and ran towards the naval base. At this time, Monca was summoning the naval soldiers from the base to erect his statue.
As a result, Luffy stretched out his hand and wanted to go to the naval base. He directly knocked down Monca's proud statue. In the stunned eyes of Monca and the naval soldiers, the guy said with a look of gratitude: "It's so dangerous, I almost got hit!"
Needless to say, Luffy began to make a big fuss at the naval base, looking for Zoro's knife in the naval base in pursuit of a large number of naval soldiers.
At the same time, Kerby was on the square, desperately trying to untie the rope for Zoro.
Zoro wanted him to leave, but Kebi had always been very timid, but today he was brave. He remembered what Brother Ian said to him when he met him.
He also tried his best to help Zoro and Luffy, but at this moment, he was suddenly shot.
When he found out that someone wanted to rescue Zoro, the prisoner, Monka sent the naval soldiers, who surrounded Kerbi and Zoro with guns.
Before Zoro was untied, Monka had already ordered the shooting!
Just when Zoro thought that he and Kebi were going to be killed, a figure suddenly rushed to the front of the two and blocked the bullets for them with his body.
Luffy came back, with Zoro's knife. Although his rubber body was hit by a bullet, it was not injured at all. He stretched his body suddenly and bounced the bullet completely back.
Zoro looked at Luffy in surprise and said in surprise: "You, you are the devil fruit abilities!?"
"Ah! So you know the devil fruit too!" Luffy turned his head and smiled.
Of course Zoro knew what the devil fruit was, and he had seen it with his own eyes. When he remembered the scene when Guina beat herself to the point where she couldn't find Bei after eating the devil fruit, Zoro said unhappily: "Hmph! Devil fruits and other things are all heretics!"
"I've brought the knife!" Taking advantage of the stunned naval soldiers, Luffy took off Zoro's knife he had found from behind and said, "How could there be so many?"
There were three swords that Luffy brought. Perhaps Ian had achieved results in training Zoro. He held a big stone in his mouth, and finally Zoro developed a strong biting force, so that when Zoro went to sea, he still embarked on the path of three swords.
But the difference is that among Zoro's three swords, there is no such knife as He Dao Yiwen, because the knife was taken away by Guina.
Zoro's current three knives are just three more ordinary knives.
While Luffy was untiing the rope for Zoron, Monca finally realized.
"Damn it, that little ghost is actually a devil fruit ability person!?" Monka was a little scared. He had seen Bucky's ability to split the fruit.
"Hurry up, rush up! Kill them!" Monca hurriedly ordered: "The gun is invalid for him, kill him with a knife!"
The navy soldiers drew out the sailor's swords and rushed towards Luffy with a scream, but at this time, Luffy just untied Zoro's hand.
Kebi was shot and finally woke up at this time. As soon as he woke up, he saw several naval soldiers surrounding Luffy and Zoro and slashing down with one knife.
Just when he thought Luffy and Zoro had been hacked to death, he found that Zoro had been liberated!
He held a knife in each hand and a hand in his mouth. Three swords all held the slash of the navy soldiers.
"Such handsome!" Luffy raised his arms excitedly.
"Stand up obediently for me. If you dare to move, kill you!" Zoro stared at the naval soldiers with murderous aura.
"Very...so terrible!" A group of naval soldiers were about to cry...
Just holding the swords of the navy soldiers, Zoro said to Luffy: "I can promise you to go out to sea with you as a pirate, but I have my own ambitions. I have agreed with others that at least three people must surpass them and become the world's number one great swordsman. Whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, I will definitely do it. I want the whole world to know my name!"
"Oh!" Luffy nodded foolishly.
"You brought me into a pirate, so if you hinder me from achieving my dream, you will have to apologize in front of me!" Zoro roared at Luffy, "Can you do this!"
"Is the world's number one swordsman?" Luffy smiled: "This is great. I want to become One Piece's man, and One Piece's partner... must be so outstanding!"
"Hmph, I really know how to talk..." Zoro smiled slightly and snorted.
After completely losing his restraint, Zoro and Luffy immediately showed their power. They joined forces to beat the navy soldiers to pieces. Even Monca took action himself, but Luffy pressed it to the ground and beat it hard.
Berumeber pressed Kerby's head with a gun, threatening Luffy and Zoro, and asking them to stop. However, Kerby, who was full of courage, was not willing to be a burden to Luffy, and asked Luffy to take action and ignore him.
Luffy followed Kebi's wishes and took action directly. He and Zoro had a wonderful cooperation. Luffy directly shot Berumeber away with a rubber gun, and Zoro also protected Luffy's back and chopped Monka who wanted to attack with a sneak attack.
"Good job, Zoro!" Luffy said without looking back.
