Chapter XIII: Colonel Monka
East China Sea, the town of Seltz, on the execution ground of the base of the 153rd branch of the Navy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You're Zoro, aren't you?" Luffy asked when he came to the execution ground and faced a man who had been tied up, but who had the demeanor of a strong man.
The kidnapped man's name was Ronoa Zoro and he was a pirate hunter. Because he killed the wolfdog raised by Berumeber in order to save a girl in the town, he was arrested by the town's navy and helped in the execution ground of the base. At first, Berumeber feared that Sauron would escape, and promised to release him as long as Sauron lived for a month.
"My name is Luffy, I'm a pirate, I'm looking for a partner now!" Luffy didn't invite Zoro because he was strong enough, but because Zoro was a sentient and righteous person.
"Pirates, how can you be willing to degenerate and become a bad guy?" At this time, Sauron, like everyone else, thought that pirates were just bad people who only burned and looted.
"It's my will, what's wrong. ”
"But I won't help you until I say anything, because I have important things to do!" Zoro immediately made his position clear.
"I'll help you untie the rope, all be my companions!" Luffy completely ignored Zoro's refusal, and regarded Zoro as his partner in the same way that he had decided that William was his partner.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Zoro looked at Luffy speechlessly and said, "I said I still have important things to do, so I won't be a bad guy like a pirate!"
"Anyway, you've been treated like a villain for a long time, so what's the matter of being a pirate?"
"I don't care what people say. I would never do anything that I would regret against my beliefs!"
"I don't care, I've decided to make you my partner!"
"Don't make a claim!" Zoro yelled angrily.
If William was here, he would definitely persuade Zoro to dissipate his anger, thinking that when he rejected Luffy, he was not ignored, and the two of them fought in the end.
"I heard you're good at using knives?" Luffy laughed, "I'll help you get it back, but you're going to be my partner!"
"You're despicable!" Zoro scolded nervously. For a swordsman, it was a treasure that was only in life, but he didn't expect it to become a bargaining chip for others to blackmail him.
"Wait until I'll come back!" With that, Luffy turned around and left.
"That idiot shouldn't have infiltrated the base like this, right?" Zoro didn't care about Luffy, but was a little curious about how Luffy would retrieve the knife for him.
But Luffy never knew what low-key was, or how he didn't even know how to sneak in. While looking for how to "infiltrate" the base, he found that the roof of the naval base was a nice place.
But the roof of the base building is busy at this time, and the colonel of the 153rd branch of the Navy, that is, the supreme ruler of the town of Shelds, "Axeman" Monka, is also on the top of the building, and the entire navy of the base is busy erecting the stone statue that symbolizes the majesty of Monka.
"Who is it?" Monka found that the young man who suddenly appeared actually let his stone statue fall to the ground, and his body immediately burst out with an astonishing murderous aura.
Although Monka is not a qualified boss or a qualified father, he has the status he has today, and it is completely in exchange for his strength.
"Dad, this bastard beat me before, and I said he wasn't a good guy anymore!" Berumeber on the side immediately recognized Luffy.
"Arrest him for me, I'm going to kill him!" But Munka, apparently carried away by the rage, paid no attention to his son.
While Luffy and Zoro were talking, Nami was infiltrating Monka's room with William, who was wearing a peaked cap, with the goal of entering the charts of the Great Voyage.
Although William knew that the chart had been stolen by Bucky the Clown, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
However, he found something unusual, it was a document from the Navy Headquarters, which was issued more than half a month ago. From the above content, William finally knew that because of his "disappearance", he actually did not hesitate to send a naval admiral to the East China Sea in order to calm the anger of the Draco people, and at the same time, there would be a naval colonel from the headquarters as an investigator stationed in the East China Sea to investigate this matter.
Sure enough, it was wise for him to choose to leave the navy, otherwise he would have really arrived on Chambord Island, and it would not be as simple as being derelict in his duties and accepting punishment. He didn't know if he was right or wrong when he chose to join the Straw Hats at this time, but in order to survive, it was absolutely not enough to just restore the strength of the colonel.
"William, what should I do?" asked Nami holding the note left by Bucky the Clown.
"Of course, I'm looking for Bucky for a chart!" "Without a chart, it would be difficult to find the entrance to the current of the Upside Down Mountain even if he came to Rogue Town, and in addition to the chart, William was also very interested in Bucky.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Nami finally knew what it meant to be with a tiger, no, it was right to walk with monsters.
Captain Luffy is a monster, William is a monster, and Zoro who is being invited is also a monster, and now he has to go to trouble with another monster, "Joker" Bucky.
"Bucky has a lot of treasures!" William said deliberately tempting.
"Really?" Hearing the treasure, Nami immediately ignores the horrors of Bucky "The Clown".
"That's a pirate with a bounty of 15 million Bailey. The treasure is yours, but the weapons are mine!" Before the treasure arrived, William was already discussing with Nami how to divide the spoils, and he still didn't have Luffy's share as the captain.
"Really?" Nami hugged William excitedly when she heard that William had given her all the treasures.
When William found out from the window that the person who went to save Zoro was not Luffy but Kobe, he scolded Luffy in his heart. Before the action, he repeatedly explained that Luffy must save Zoro first, but Luffy didn't know where to go to cause trouble, so wouldn't Kobe be exposed.
And didn't he not let Kobe get involved? The courage of this timid guy? Dare to go to Zoro alone, not afraid of death? Obviously William underestimated how much they have influenced Kobe these days, although Kobe is still very timid, but he has a heart to get stronger.
"But only if we save Sauron, otherwise our team won't be manpowered. William picked up Nami and immediately broke out of the window, ready to go to Zoro and Kobe.
Woo!
Just as the Navy was about to shoot Zoro and Kobe, Luffy finally appeared in front of them in time and blocked all the bullets with his body.
"Hey, what's going on with your body?" Akatsuki's well-informed Zoro was taken aback by Luffy's strange body.
"I'm a rubber man who eats rubber fruits, and I'm not afraid of bullets!" Luffy laughed. However, those navies were stupefied by Luffy's bullets bouncing off.
"Boy, you're all in the same group, aren't you?" said the axe-bearer, who suddenly appeared behind William, and raised his axe in displeasure.
William turned around and jumped with Nami in his arms, kicking the side of the axe before Monca's axe fell, changing the axe's attack route, and at the moment when the axe blade sank into the ground, William quickly distanced himself from Monkala, and never looked up at Monka once.
It's not that William looks down on Monca, it's just that Monka, as the colonel of the branch, has already read the documents issued by the headquarters, and there is a picture of himself on it, otherwise he wouldn't have worn a peaked cap when he sneaked in with Nami.
"Run!" Nami, who was already frightened, almost fainted when she saw Monka's strange right hand.
"Luffy, I've handed this guy over to you!" William hurriedly ran away with Nami, who was frightened.
The opponent is Monka!
Holding Nami by himself would have affected the battle, and because of the document from the Navy Headquarters, William didn't even have the courage to look at Monka. The twin knives hidden in their bodies didn't dare to take them out and use them, and they couldn't use the Navy Six Styles in front of the navy, even if they might not be able to recognize them, but what if someone recognized them?
Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, with the strength of Luffy and Zoro enough to level Monka, why should you take the risk? As for the navy of the 153rd Branch, in fact, like the people of Shelds Town, they dare not speak out against Monka, if it weren't for the fact that Monka's strength was unshaken, they would have stepped down Monkara a long time ago.
"Rubber gun!" Luffy, who heard William's shout, immediately stretched out his arm and punched at Monka.
