Zoro
Suddenly Luffy launched himself at Koby and pushed him away from that place. He dodged Alvida's mace just in time.
-That was close...- Luffy said with a hand on his straw hat.
-Who did you say you are going to arrest, Koby!?- Alvida asked.
Alvida raised her mace and Koby saw his boat destroyed.
-My boat...-
-Did you think you can... Escape from me!?- Alvida put the mace on her shoulder.- Is that who you hired to capture me? He doesn't seem to be Roronoa Zoro. Anyway, before you die, I'm gonna ask you... What's the most beautiful thing in the sea, Koby!!?-
-Eh?- Luffy cocked his head thoughtfully.
-......!! Eh...... Eh heh heh. Of... Of course that'll be...-
-Who's this rude woman?- Luffy asked pointing his finger at Alvida.
-......!!!!-
-That kid...-
-He dares to...!!-
-Luffy-san!! Quick, repeat after me!!- Koby grabbed Luffy's shoulders in a panic.- In all the seas, this lady is the most...- Koby started to remember the conversation he had with Luffy and started to doubt.- The... THE RUDEST DAMNED BITCH!!!!-
-Ahyahyahyahyahyahyahya!!- Luffy laughed while everyone stayed quiet.
-YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!- Alvida shouted really angry.
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!-
Luffy lunged forward with a wide smile.
-Well said, Koby! Now get behing me!!-
-Lu... Luffy-san!!-
-Both of you... Have to die!-
Alvida hit Luffy's head with her mace, but it failed to hit Luffy.
-It's useless against me because my body is rubber. Heh. You're so weak that I don't even need to use Haki!!-
-......!!? Im... That's impossible!!! My mace!-
-......!?-
-No waaay!!!-
-Gomu Gomu no... Pistol.-
-Huh!?-
Luffy threw back his fist and then punched Alvida.
-......!!! His arm... His arm extended!!-
-Captain! Alvida-sama was beaten!!! By that monster!!-
-Prepare a boat for Koby! He wants to join the Marines!! So stay outta his way!- said Luffy pointing his finger at them with a serious expression.
-Y... Yes.-
-Hee hee hee hee!- Luffy showed a smile upon hearing that.
-Luffy-san...- Koby cried again.
++++++++
-You actually ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi. That's surprising. But... Luffy-san, if you're looking for the "One Piece"... Um. That means you have to get into the "Grand Line", right...!!?-
-Yep!-
-But that place is known as the Pirates' Graveyard.-
-Yeah, Natsu-nii told me about it as did my aunt Rouge and my Sand Gator. That's why I need a strong crew.- Luffy said with his typical smile.- And one of them is... Being held captive at the place you're going.-
-You mean... Roronoa Zoro?-
-If she's a good girl, I'd ask her to join me before going to pick up Nami at Cocoyasi Village in Conomi Islands!!!-
-Whaaat!? You're dreaming again!!! You can't! She's like a monster!-
-We can't be sure about that yet.-
-It'll never work!!-
The little boat sails toward the Marines' base.
++++++++
-We're finally at the Marines' base!!- Luffy shouted excited.
-Yep!! Finally!!- Koby commented.
-You're great, Koby!-
-Huh?-
-We've actually reached our destination!-
-Of course! That's the basics of navigation! If you wander around at sea everytime, you'll never become a pirate. You should at least find a navigator to join you.-
-I have Nami!! She is the best navegator I know and she promised that she would join my crew when I go out to sea!!! That's why I need to go pick her up later!!!- Luffy said.- Alright!! Let's go eat!-
They went into a place called Food Foo and Luffy ate a lot.
-We'll go our separate ways here! You do your best to be a great Marine, alright?-
-I will...!! Thank you so much Luffy-san, you have to become a grat pirate too. Although we'll be enemies in the future.-
-Say, I wonder if Zoro is still being kept at the Marines' base.-
Suddenly the customers who were eating quietly around him got scared and moved away as fast as possible from this duo.
-......!!!-
-......?-
Koby decided to mention Morgan instead of Zoro, but that got the same reaction as the mention of Zoro's name.
-Hahahaha! What an interesting restaurant! I gotta go there again.- Luffy said while laughing.
-That's strange...!! I have a bad feeling about this...!!- Koby commented.- I could understand why they'd be scared after hearing Roronoa Zoro's name, since she could escape at any time, but why would they be afraid of a Marine Lieutenant's name too!!?-
-Well, he could've done something bad, right? Natsu-nii always tells to be careful with Marines. It is true that there are good ones, but there are some who blindly follow a very corrupt sense of justice while others abuse their power. If I come across one I should punch them.-
-That's impossible!!-
-I'm serious. Also, Natsu-nii would never lie to me!!! Auntie Rouge, Sand Gator and Zeref-nii also say the same thing!!!-
The two stopped in front of the Marine base.
-......!!-
-It looks pretty ugly up close.- Luffy commented.- Go ahead, Koby.-
-B...... But I'm not prepared yet...!! Besides, that incident at the restaurant got me thinking...-
At that point Luffy was no longer paying attention to him and climbed over the wall in search of Zoro.
-Ah! Luffy-san!!-
-Monster... I wonder where she is?-
-You can't find her that easy. She's on probably being kept in a secret room or something.-
Luffy used his Observation Haki and managed to locate Zoro quickly.
-I found her!!!-
-What!?-
Luffy quickly ran towards the direction where Zoro was, pulling Koby's arm.
++++++++
Roronoa Zoro is a muscular woman of average height with lightly tanned skin. She has a green haramaki on her hip and bandages covering her breasts. She has three identical gold earrings in her left earlobe and a black scarf tied around her head.
She's wondering why these two boys were watching her from the wall.
-So she's Zoro, huh...? Looks to me those ropes are pretty easy to break.-
-S... Stop joking!!! If you free her, she could make a mess in the town and even kill you!!!-
-Hey! You.- Zoro called Luffy.
-Huh?-
-Ah!!-
-Could you please... Come over here and untie me?- Zoro smiled with blood on her lips.- I've been tied up for 9 days and I'm exhausted.-
-Look, she's smiling.-
-She...!! She talked!!-
-I'll repay you. I could hunt down a fugitive and give you the rewards. I'm not lying. I'll keep my words.-
-No... Don't do it Luffy-san! Don't be tricked by her words...!! If you free her, she'll kill us and scape!!-
-She can't kill me because... I'm strong too.- Luffy said with a smile.
