Chapter 9: The First Companion, Zorro! (below)
"Does he want to infiltrate the base? What a fool......" Zorro looked at Luffy who was already far away in disbelief.
I walked over from a distance and said to Zorro lightly: "He's not stupid, he's just confident in his own strength." "Just now it was Luffy as the captain who was recruiting new partners, and I couldn't bother it, this is a kind of respect for the captain.
On the sea, if you don't have the captain's consent to recruit people casually, the lightest will be expelled from the team, and the worst will be killed directly. Anyone who begs for a living at sea takes these rules very seriously, and it seems that One Piece Roger also wrote something like the rules of pirates for this purpose.
"Are you his companion? Why not stop him? Zorro looked up at me, eagle-like eyes staring at me.
"I'm Luffy's vice-captain, you can call me Ah Xian, we will be good partners in the future." I stood in front of Zorro, not trying to untie him. If Luffy wants to recruit Zorro, he must make Zorro willing, which is a rare little insistence on Luffy.
Luffy doesn't know what it means to be gracious, he just chooses to do what he wants to do, and many things can prove that Luffy, who looks stupid, never did anything wrong.
"Hmph, I'm not going to be a pirate." Zorro still stood by his beliefs.
Lying on the wall, Kirby saw that I was not untied for Zorro, gritted his teeth and jumped in, ran to Zorro's side, and told him the truth of the matter while untying Zorro. And I looked at the tall main building of the naval base with an uncertain face, it seemed that Luffy was in trouble again, and I clearly heard the other side of the main building, there was a loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
With a slight movement of my ears, I stretched out my hand in front of Kirby, and a gunshot rang out in the direction of the main building, and then an extra iron bead appeared in my hand.
"Kirby, it's too late for you to leave now, if you don't leave, you will be seen by the navy here, and don't think about continuing to be a navy in the future." Under the stunned gaze of Kirby and Zorro, I casually threw the iron bead in my hand and smiled at Kirby.
"Are you a monster?" Zorro asked, mouth open.
I shrugged my shoulders and didn't answer Zorro's words, if a person with far more power than ordinary people is a monster, then there are many such monsters on the sea.
The navy soon assembled in front of us, powder guns in their hands pointed at us, and Kirby, although frightened by the sight, weakened his legs, was still single-mindedly helping Zorro untie him. And Zorro wasn't too worried to see that I could catch the bullet with my bare hands, and with someone as strong as me, these navies weren't enough.
I looked at the navy in front of me and smiled indifferently, and with a slight jump, I revealed the figures of Zorro and Kirby, and directly used them as shields. Kirby fainted when he saw me like this, and Zorro glared at me even more, obviously not expecting me to do such a thing.
"My captain didn't give the order, I won't do anything, since he wants to save you personally, then I can't make a move, don't worry, he's coming." I waved at Zorro nonchalantly and looked up at the sky.
The navy didn't care what was happening on our side, and on the orders of the commander, they collectively shot at us. It's a pity that they didn't hit me and Zorro, but hit Luffy who fell from the sky, and the navy still used that kind of rudimentary version of the powder gun, and the bullets were all iron beads, which would not cause any damage to Luffy, a rubber man.
"You... Who the hell are you sacred!? Seeing that Luffy was hit by a bullet and there was nothing to do, and even the bullet bounced back, Zorro couldn't calm down.
"I'm the man who will become the King of the Pirates!" Luffy said to Zorro with a grin, then put the three knives in front of Zorro and asked him which one was his knife.
"The three knives are mine, and I am the swordsman of the three knives." Zorro looked at the knife in Luffy's hand and said seriously.
Luffy didn't directly untie Zoro, but looked at the navy in front of him and said, "If you deal with the navy with us now, you will become a traitor wanted by the government, or die here, you can choose yourself." ”
"You're a descendant of demons, aren't you......" Facing Luffy's multiple-choice question, Zorro showed a cruel smile: "It doesn't matter, instead of being killed here, it's better to be a pirate with you!" ”
"Great! Do you agree to be my partner? Luffy looked happy to hear Zorro's words.
"yes, yes, help me untie the rope."
I glanced at the navy who had already thrown away the gunpowder gun and pulled out the knife, and then looked at Luffy, who was still struggling with the rope, and shook my head a little helplessly, Luffy, you have Zoro's knife under your feet, won't you use the knife to cut the rope!?
The navy shouted and rushed over, but Luffy still didn't untie the rope, and Zorro anxiously urged Luffy to hurry up. I can't see it! I pulled out my knife and swung it lightly, cutting all the ropes off Zorro's body.
"Yes! I forgot that you can cut it with a knife! Luffy smiled heartlessly, with a look on his face that he had just remembered. I doubt he'd just thought about having Zorro as his partner, and had forgotten that I was still here.
Zorro glanced at me, quickly picked up the knife on the ground and grabbed the knife cut by the navy, and then said coldly to the navy behind him: "You stand obediently for me!" If you dare to move, I'll kill you! "Where is Zoro, who has three knives in his hand, still has a little bit of embarrassment, the whole person is as terrifying as a demon that has come out of hell, and the murderous aura alone makes those navy frightened people cry.
"I promise you to be a pirate! I'm a bad guy since I'm fighting against the navy, but I have my own ambitions. Zorro had a knife in his mouth, but his voice didn't change much: "I'm going to be the number one swordsman in the world!" Now I don't care if I have a reputation or not, whether it's bad or not, I want the whole world to know my name! ”
"You pulled me to be a pirate!! So, if you dare to force me to give up my dreams..."Zoro's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said viciously to Luffy, "At that time, I wanted you to apologize in front of me!" ”
Luffy still had a smiling face, but his eyes were very serious and said, "The number one swordsman in the world!" One Piece's partner must be so good! ”
"Humph! Really can say. ”
"I said you two don't ignore the existence of other people, hurry up and get rid of it, I'm a little sleepy." I yawned and said nonchalantly.
"Ahh Ah Xian, so you're here! Luffy, who pulled back the navy next to Zorro with a whip leg, said to me with a grin.
Luffy, can I chop you? I looked at him with black lines on my head, and my hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife. Many times Luffy's words can make people feel like they want to kill him in an instant!
"I guess you'll be done later, I'll go back and prepare some food first, you guys move faster." It was so boring to bully these minions that I waved my hand and ignored the people around me, and just swaggered away from the gate.
"Is he usually like this?" Zorro asked Luffy unhappily.
"Haha, we've got something delicious to eat!" Luffy laughed.
Ignoring the excitement of Luffy and Zorro fighting in the naval base, I went back to the restaurant where I had eaten and told the owner that Colonel Morgan had been killed and that he would not be in trouble again. It took a lot of effort to get them to agree to lend me the kitchen, but because Luffy was making a lot of noise over there, they all agreed with half-heartedness.
I knew that this would have been the case for me to use illusions! I complained in my heart while copying the dishes, because my original plan was to come to the world of One Piece to find Robin, and by the way, I played a sea adventure game with Luffy, so I didn't use the power of Tendo, but only relied on the power of the Hokage and the world of death.
Considering that Luffy and Zorro are both the kind of people who are at the level of the big stomach, I made a lot of food, but with the help of ninjutsu, I don't even have to do it myself, and the shadow clone technique can be easily handled.
When I was almost done, Luffy and the others came back, and the anxious Luffy ran directly to the kitchen and shouted for a banquet, and then I kicked him out because he wanted to steal food. Even if Luffy doesn't come back and tell me, in fact, I know that they have already settled the battle, and the outside has already started cheering.
That guy Morgan is really unpopular here, after he was locked up by his former subordinates, the entire naval base began to celebrate, and even those navy members told those who couldn't believe it with smiles on their faces that Colonel Morgan had been arrested.
Zorro wolfed down and asked me, "Are you sure you're a co-captain and not a chef?" ”
I lit a cigarette, glanced at him lightly and said, "I only cook when I'm in a good mood, I can only be regarded as a temporary chef, and today I did it to celebrate your joining me." ”
Luffy only had food left in his eyes now, because I made his favorite barbecue, and I just ignored all the plans around me and stumbled to the end with the barbecue in my hand. Even if everyone around him praised his great achievements, he ignored them.
I saw that although Kirby was also very happy, he just smiled very reluctantly, knowing that he was worried that he would be labeled as a pirate and not be able to become a navy in the future, but Luffy had to deal with these things, and it was not my turn to be the villain. I never thought Luffy was stupid, he was just lazy to think, and I believe he had already figured out how to draw a line with Kirby when he took him to the naval base.
Sure enough, when those bad navies came over and asked us to go to sea as soon as possible, Luffy and Kirby got into a fight in front of them, and it was revealed that Kirby was once a member of the Yarrita Pirates. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luffy just wants to help Kirby join the navy, even the naval officer did not open his mouth to expose it, but loudly confirmed that Kirby has no relationship with us.
A teenager who insists on the justice in his heart, dares to face death, and wants to join the navy, as long as he is a real navy, he will never refuse such a person. And even if Kirby was really a pirate before, it doesn't matter that the navy has recruited pirates to increase his strength once or twice, it's just that such people are not very valued.
When Kirby stood on the dock and saluted us with the navy, the three of us smiled softly, but we didn't respond to them, friends just need to keep it in mind, responding to them at this time will only hurt them.
Speaking of Luffy, he can be regarded as a strange pirate among pirates, and the pirate who can make the Navy salute sincerely, it is estimated that there is no other semicolon in the entire One Piece world. It feels like Luffy doesn't look like a pirate at all, but an adventurer, although there was no difference between an adventurer and a pirate at sea a long time ago.
