"Breaching the agreement? Hahaha, kid, do you think this is playing a game? 'Breaking the agreement'? Only fools obey any agreement. Not only you, but Zoro is also dead."
"I have planned to execute him tomorrow, hahaha, stupid guy, what agreement did you follow, idiot!"
Hearing this, Helmeppo seemed to have heard some funny joke. He laughed loudly, pointing at Rika and mocking her.
"What?! You! Damn it!"
Rika was furious, but what could she, a little girl, do?!
"It's truly despicable. As the Colonel's son, he actually did such a thing!"
"What a pity, what a pity. That Pirate Hunter Zoro will actually die in the hands of such a person!"
"Damn it, it's utterly damnable!"
Everyone was angry and cursed inwardly. However, in the face of the powerful, how could they have the courage to resist?!
"Hahahaha, bring the good wine and good food to me! Perhaps I'll be happy and spare this small shop of yours, otherwise, I won't wait until tomorrow, and now I'll tear down yours..."
Helmeppo laughed loudly and shouted to the proprietress.
"Boom!"
However, just at this moment, a pair of fists flew over and slammed into Helmeppo's face, sending him crashing against the wall in one swift blow.
"That's trash!"
Luffy was so angry that he struck out, defending the innocent.
"Master!"
"No, Master was hit!"
Upon seeing this, several Marines exclaimed and quickly helped Helmeppo up!
"No! You hit Colonel Morgan's son! This will offend the Marines!"
"Young man, you've caused a disaster, run away!"
"Yes, Colonel Morgan is known as 'Axe-Hand Morgan.' He is very powerful. You won't be his opponent!"
And everyone around also screamed. Although it felt very satisfying, Helmeppo had powerful figures behind him, not someone to provoke lightly. They now tried to persuade Luffy.
"You, you... you dare to hit me?! Do you know who my father is?! My father is the master here, the Colonel!"
Helmeppo looked at Luffy and exclaimed.
"So what?"
Luffy said coldly, his eyes sharpening.
"You, you, you... don't run if you have the ability! You wait for me! I will tell my father to kill you! Dare to offend me, you're looking for death!"
Helmeppo was immediately shocked. He had always been the one to throw his weight around. It was the first time he had seen such a ruthless person who wasn't afraid of his father.
"Really? I don't need him to come; I'll just punch him away!"
Luffy said coldly. After finishing speaking, he grabbed the door and walked towards the Marine base. Helmeppo was dumbfounded. Not only was Luffy not afraid, he was going to beat his father!
"Damn it, just you wait!"
Then Helmeppo also went out and reported to Morgan.
"Mr. Luffy, Mr. Luffy!"
Upon seeing this, Koby also ran out.
"Hehe, truly loves to fight and embrace injustice. Such a thing, in a world like pirates, is not unusual."
Moonlight smiled, paid the money, and followed.
"Hey, hey, are you really going to find Colonel Morgan? That's the Marines!"
"Yes, the Marines themselves are powerful, and Colonel Morgan is known as the 'Axe,' so powerful!"
"Do you really want to do this?"
Seeing Moonlight also leave, everyone around couldn't help but speak, though they dared not say anything directly.
"Axe-Hand? While I don't know how strong he is, I don't care about a Colonel. As for the Marines, it doesn't matter. We are pirates; we are natural enemies!"
Moonlight shrugged as an answer and walked out of the restaurant in a blink of an eye.
"Pirates! They are pirates! No wonder they're not afraid of the Marines, they are indeed natural enemies!"
"There are pirates who dare to come to the islands where the Marines are stationed. They are truly brave, but they are different from other pirates. They actually come out for a small thing!"
"They are not ordinary pirates!"
Hearing that, everyone around was dumbfounded. The three of them were actually pirates. Pirates and Marines were natural enemies, so naturally, they weren't afraid, but they didn't expect pirates to stand out for others.
"A pirate? I didn't expect the Marines to oppress us, but the pirates want to rescue us. This is really ridiculous!"
And more people sighed in their hearts. The Marines originally represented justice, and pirates were evil, but the reverse was true here.
"Even if they are pirates, they are also extraordinary pirates. They are different from the bad guys who burn, kill, and loot; they are good people!"
Rika increased her voice and rushed out immediately.
"Rika!"
The proprietress hurriedly chased after her, but by this time, Rika had run off.
On the Marine base, on the huge playground, a seventeen-year-old boy with green hair and a turban was tied to a cross. The sun was scorching, and the earth was blazing hot. However, the young man had a cold face; he didn't care. Facing the sunlight, he seemed to be waiting for something.
"You are Zoro!"
At this moment, a young man with a straw hat stepped over the high courtyard wall, walked over, and asked.
"Get lost!"
Zoro returned a single word.
"You are really interesting. Rika asked me to save you. The Colonel's son broke the agreement and wants to execute you tomorrow."
Luffy smiled brightly and said indifferently.
"What!"
Zoro raised his head abruptly. Although he had been hungry for more than half a month, his eyes were still sharp, like an unsheathed sword, extremely keen.
"It's true, we personally heard what Helmeppo said, Mr. Zoro!"
Koby also walked over and said to Zoro.
"Mr. Zoro, the Marine Colonel relied on his own power to treat the villagers here rampantly. His son, Helmeppo, broke the agreement and wanted to kill you. Now he should have already filed a complaint. Expect the Marines to act soon. Please save them."
"Damn it, it really is a bunch of villains!"
Hearing this, Zoro was finally convinced. In fact, he had expected that the other party would not abide by the agreement, but for the sake of his own moral code, he had only done what he said he would.
"Who dares to break into the Marine base!"
"Bold! You want to let the prisoner go?! Immediately notify the Colonel!"
"Surround them! Don't let them run away!"
At this moment, the Marines discovered the situation here, immediately opened the gate, and dozens of Marines surrounded them.
"Do they dare to defy my power?"
At the same time, a rough shout rang out, but Morgan had rushed over immediately after receiving the news. So he saw Luffy and the others.
"No, it's Colonel Morgan! What a mess!"
Upon seeing this, Koby couldn't help but scream, hiding behind Luffy quickly.
"Damn it, untie the rope!"
Zoro couldn't help shouting.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Hearing that, Luffy hurriedly started, but the rope binding Zoro was a special rope.
"Zoro, the Pirate Hunter? Humph, whoever cares about you! Anyone who dares to resist my power should die! Come on, kill them for me!"
