Roronoa Zoro, with green hair and an earring on his left ear, was tied to a cross in the square and had not eaten or drunk for almost a week.

At this moment, he heard a dense sound of footsteps approaching, looked up, and saw a group of naval soldiers walking towards him.

Strangely, it was not the annoying Berumeber who was at the head, nor the Colonel Monka, who had an axe in one arm, but a man with a beard.

The man stood still in front of him, leading a group of naval soldiers to salute him, making him feel flattered.

Zoro frowned and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

The man at the head was none other than Lieutenant Colonel Lipa, who ordered the two soldiers to untie the ropes from Sauron, let him down, and return the three knives that belonged to him.

Sauron was shocked and suspicious, but he still accepted the three knives.

This is the weapon of his three-sword swordsman, especially one of them, "Harmony and Dao Writing", which is a treasure that he cherishes in his heart, and it is of course a good thing to be able to get it back in advance.

Lieutenant Commander Lipa bowed to him before he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zoro, you, as a bounty hunter, should have been a friend of our naval branch, but we have let you suffer such an unwarranted disaster. ”

Zoro looked him up and down a few times, then waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, forget it, it's not your fault, it's the fault of that stupid young master. I'm not a bounty hunter either, but I've just dealt with a few pirates in exchange for some travel expenses. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lipa said sincerely: "In any case, we are sorry for you, and we will pay you compensation, and we will give you a small boat and plenty of food and water." ”

Sauron was more and more surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with you?" Why did the attitude suddenly become so good? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Lipa hesitated for a moment, but replied:

"To tell you the truth, yesterday we experienced a naval battle, and our Colonel Monka was unfortunately killed in the line of duty, and Young Master Berumeber was in mourning. Now, in the naval branch base, I am temporarily in charge of it. ”

Only Colonel Monka died in the naval battle, and his white-soaked corpse had been recovered.

Most of the sailors were only wounded, some were seriously injured and disabled, but their lives were saved.

He didn't say that he had rescued a boy with a broken arm, who was still in a coma and had survived the danger period, because the incident had little to do with the conversation in front of him.

Zoro raised an eyebrow.

No wonder, it turned out that the father of the stupid young master died, and at this time there was no time to take care of me, so this group of naval soldiers released me.

Curious again, he asked, "Who is your opponent?" Pirates nearby? How did you get rid of all your colonels? ”

Lieutenant Commander Lipa shook his head and said, "We don't know for sure the enemy's true identity, but one of us has already photographed his face, and we have passed it on to the Navy Headquarters, and I believe that a bounty will be ordered soon." ”

"Oh?" Zoro stretched out his hand and asked, "Can you show me the picture?" ”

Not surprised, Lieutenant Colonel Lipa took a photograph out of his bosom and handed it to the bounty hunter Roronoa Soron.

Zoro looked at it, it was a rather vague figure standing on the bow of the ship, but the general outline had been photographed, as well as the iconic tentacles and crab claws, which should not be difficult to recognize.

He returned the photo to Lieutenant Colonel Lipa and said, "A person who kills the colonel of the naval branch should have a high bounty, right?" ”

Lieutenant Commander Lipa nodded and replied, "This is an extremely bad incident, and I believe that the bounty set for him by the Navy Headquarters will be quite high." Mr. Zoro, are you interested in him? ”

"Sort of." Sauron touched the hilt of the knife and said with a smile, "I'm going to go farther to the sea to find a man, and I can't do it without the fare." ”

"Then you're bothered."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go to the hotel in the town to rest first, and the compensation will be sent to the hotel."

"Yes. You can rest assured. ”

Zoro waved his hand and strode away, quickly walking out of the gate of the plaza and disappearing.

The naval soldier beside him couldn't help but ask, "Lieutenant Colonel Lipa, Mr. Zoro, can you really kill that monster?" ”

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Lieutenant Colonel Lipa said, "Just looking at this picture, he should be a fish man." Colonel Monka climbed the ship alone, presumably besieged and died. They are nothing more than flesh and blood, and Mr. Sauron must be very experienced in how to kill such wicked people. ”

Neither he nor the sailors could see how Monka had died, and could only imagine it from the wound in his abdomen, so they feared more of the black ship that was invincible at sea.

The soldiers nodded, they trusted Lieutenant Colonel Lipa more than Monka, hoping that one day, they would be able to see the news that Mr. Zoro had slain the demon in the Navy's internal network.

Lieutenant Colonel Lipa looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, we're going to the town and tell everyone this...... This sad news. ”

Sad news? The sailors looked at each other, but could not grieve for Monka's death.

The people of Shelds Town knew that Monka had died in battle, so they probably wanted to hold a banquet for a few days and nights to celebrate, right?

But it is too inappropriate to say such things now, so everyone is silent about it.

As soon as they walked to the gate of the naval branch base, they were confronted by Sauron, who had returned.

"Huh?" Lieutenant Colonel Lipa wondered, "Mr. Zoro, why are you back?" Is there something you have forgotten? ”

"Uh......" Zoro touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Your naval branch base is quite large, I walked around and walked back to the same place." ”

Walked around and walked back to where you came?

Lieutenant Commander Lipa and the sailors looked at each other.

He had obviously walked out of the gate of the naval branch base, and there was only one road to the town of Shelds, how did he walk around and come back here?

Could it be that Mr. Sauron is a road idiot?

They couldn't help but be a little suspicious of their previous judgment, maybe Mr. Sauron was not as reliable as they thought.

-----------------

At the same time, the bay harbor in Orange Town, at this time, a pirate ship is docked.

It is said that it is a pirate ship because the white skull flag on a black background raised at the top of its mast has obvious characteristics and has its own characteristics, and the skull and white bones are made into a clown makeup.

However, the cabin on the deck looks like a circus tent directly on it, especially the red and white stripes, which are more and more comical the more you look at them.

However, the residents of Orange Town all know that this is the pirate ship of the "Bucky Pirates" who have completely taken over their town, and if they get close, they will be beaten at the least, or their throats cut and thrown into the sea.

The residents were impressed by the brutality of the Bucky Pirates, which led to a large number of residents choosing to move.

There are no more houses left in the entire Orange Town, except for the pirates, and the streets are empty.

At this time, the two major cadres under the captain of the Bucky Pirates were rampaging through the streets by the docks.

The man who rode on top of a lion the size of a small hill was the vice-captain Mochi, who had a lot of hair, like the lion niche he was riding.

The other man was Chief of Staff Kabaji, who wore a checkered scarf around his neck and rode a wheelbarrow and followed unhurriedly behind Mochi and the Lion Niche.

Half of his face was covered by the long sea of direct water, and he had a serious expression with his hands on his chest and a knife stuck in his waist.

I have to say that these two cadres seem to have come out of the acrobatic troupe, and they have the style of the Bucky Pirates.

However, anyone who knows knows knows that countless people have died at their hands.

"Mochi, you set the fire just now, right?" Kabaji looked ahead, his legs on the wheelbarrow, looking rather absurd, "The fire spreads, but it will burn down an entire street." ”

Mochi raised his arm to Kabaji, signaled the bite mark on the back of his hand, and said with relief: "Who let that stinky dog stop me, don't let me go in to loot my belongings, and bite me!" ”

"It's just a dog, so I think that store is its territory, right?" After knowing that there was a reason for this, Kabaji also agreed with his approach, "Mochi, didn't you say that you are the best animal trainer?" Why can't you even handle a dog? ”

"That's a mad dog!" Mochi shouted.

Seeing that Mochi was angry, Kabaji had to shrug his shoulders and stop mentioning it.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the alley and stood in front of the two people and one lion.

The man was older, bespectacled, dressed in rudimentary armor, with a spear in his hand, and stared at them through gritted teeth.

"You ...... You bastards, you actually burned down the shop that 'Xiuxiu' was desperately guarding! As the mayor of Orange Town, I will never spare you! ”
