"I-'m the greatest man in this town!"

In the spacious room, men with shaved heads sit on high-end chaise longues and sip cigars

"Yes! You're right! Colonel Monka!"

The naval soldier standing at the door of the room saluted respectfully

Despite the colonel's particularly eccentric temper, he climbed to this position with excellent sycophancy

In this town, Monka is their master, the emperor of all!

In such a remote town, let alone a major before, even a non-commissioned officer was a great official!

No one knew why Monka had been sent here, they only knew that what the Governor had said, in this town, was an imperial decree!

"Hmph!" the man asked, still with his back to the soldier, taking a sharp puff on his cigar

"Then you say, why hasn't the recent tribute increased but decreased?!"

"Uh... That..."

The soldier was sweating profusely and trembling and did not dare to put down his saluted hand

"Because... Because... The townspeople's financial capabilities also seem to have reached their limits... So that..."

"The question is-!"

"How much they are in awe of me!" the man jerked around and slapped the long table

"Isn't it?"

"Uh-?!"

"Tuk-tuk-!"

Outside the hallway, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and a moment later, a blonde man broke down the door

"Daddy!"

The only one who dared to do so, of course, was Colonel Monka's son, Berumeber

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Monka didn't seem to even bother to look at his son, and tilted his head

"There's a guy -- there's a guy! I want you to help me kill him!"

...

Outside the school grounds, in the middle of the field

"Is it you again? It's so laid-back, you guy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Still with his feet spread apart, relaxing as much as he could along the stake, Zoro glanced at the person in front of him in surprise

"Tell me, what are you going to do here?"

"First of all, I won't eat the food you give"

[There's no need to drag this guy into the water too...]

"Isn't it?"

Luffy tilted his head and laughed

"I don't even have enough food for myself, how can I give it to you, hehe..."

"Then you..."

"I'll help you untie the rope, so come and be my companion!"

Luffy looked at Zoro with a calm face and a bright gaze

"Ahh

"What the hell are you kidding?"

"I'm looking for a partner to go to sea with, how about it, are you interested?"

"Fellows at sea?huh—pirates?" asked Zoro with a chuckle

"I said, do you know what I used to do?"

"You know, Pirate Hunter, everyone said you were strong!"

"Very strong? Hmph, maybe..."

Zoro sneered and lowered his head, reminiscing back to his childhood friend who had trained with him

She is the daughter of the owner of the dojo, and she is only a daughter, but she is always able to overpower herself

I don't know now that she...

[No... No, it won't... It must be that I'm thinking too much...]

"I refuse!"

Thinking of his former companions, Zoro's desire to live became even stronger

"Why should I go to you to be a bad party?!"

"Don't waste your efforts!"

"Huh?!" Luffy looked puzzled

"What's wrong with being a pirate?"

"Huh?!" this time it was Sauron's turn to be surprised

"It's obvious! The pirates are crooked, who wants to do it!"

"Aha!

Luffy said with a calm look and crossed his hands on his hips

"You're known as the evil bounty hunter, what's the point of being a pirate?"

"Hmph" Zoro looked disdainful, and then said solemnly

"That's just someone else's opinion, no matter what others think of me, at least I-"

"I've never done anything I regret!"

The man grinned and stared at Luffy like a hungry wolf, as if he would swallow him in the next second

"So, no matter what, I'm going to live and do what I want to do!"

"Ah, yes..."

Luffy was stunned, still smiling

"But I'm determined to make you my buddy!

"Hey, you guy, don't make your own decisions!"

"You know how to use a sword, right?"

"Forget it!"

Zoro looked at Luffy helplessly, even he was helpless against this kind of tenacious guy

"Of course I would have used a sword, but it was taken away by the colonel's stupid son..."

"I'll help you get it back!"

"What?"

"So if you want to return the sword, you have to be my companion!"

Luffy crossed his hands on his hips and grinned as if he were stating the facts

"Is there anyone as bad as you! bastard!"

"Ahh

"This guy..."Zoro looked at Luffy who didn't give him the slightest chance to refute, and just walked away, sighing helplessly

[Are you going to go to the naval base alone...]

[etc...]

"Hey!!" shouted Sauron, who was torn by the neck

"You idiot! The base is over there, you're running in the opposite direction!"

"Huh, yes?!"

Luffy braked suddenly, and when he turned his head, he was a jumper

"Rubber, rubber, rubber!"

"Rocket !!"

"Huh!"

Luffy, who stretched his arm, seemed to rush out and went straight to the naval base

Sauron, who remained on the stake, was startled

"Ahh Ahhh?!!h

"This guy... Who the hell is it?"

...

Naval base, top floor

A huge statue made entirely of white stone is slowly being pulled up

The statue was surrounded by ropes, and it was clear that such a bulky thing could not be completely pulled up by the strength of one person alone

The sailors shouted the slogan "One, two, one, two!" and pulled the ropes in unison

The statue slowly rose, but it didn't seem to have enough strength, and it was stuck in mid-air - it didn't move!

Seeing this, the man who was in command of the whole process on the side took a sharp puff of his cigar and cursed

"You rice buckets that eat white rice, you can't even pull up such a light statue, what else do I want you to do?!"

Therefore, Monka hates the weak, because they only bring trouble

You can't let yourself raise the statue, can you?!

That's shameless!

Take a closer look, that exaggerated statue is not Monka, who else could it be?

"Daddy, Daddy!"

Seeing that Dad was busy with his own affairs, Berumeber on the side was anxious

"Dad, why don't you help me get revenge!"

"That kid beat me!"

"Even Dad, you've never punched me in the face!"

"Huh?"

The man was annoyed by his heart, and his son's noisy voice undoubtedly hit his heart

"Why haven't I hit you until now?

"Huh—?!" Berumeber squeaked in amazement, with a blank look on his face

"Of course it's for Dad, I'm my dad's dearest..."

"Smack!"

Before the stupid son could finish speaking, Monka's hand was already slapped in his face

Before everyone had time to be surprised, one after another screamed in unison

"That's right!"

"Because!"

"You're a stupid thing that doesn't deserve my fight!"

"Bang Bang!"

The man's right hand was horizontal, and the blade of the axe, which was shining cold, pressed against Berumeber's neck

"That's all there is - make no mistake about it!"

The right arm, which had been completely replaced by the axe blade, slowly lifted the placket of Berumeber's robe

"It's only your dad who is great, and it has nothing to do with you, you know!"

"Hiss, hiss... Hiss..."

"Be louder, I didn't hear clearly!"

"You're right, Daddy!"

Berumeber burst into tears, and he almost didn't pee his pants

"Hmph!" For his son, of course, the man would not kill him all, but just shook his hand and threw him on the ground

The only remaining role of this unsuccessful son is just to pass on the lineage to himself

Right now, he's more concerned about...

"Speaking of which, it looks like a rat broke into the execution ground?"
