Upon seeing this, Morgan sneered and ordered. Suddenly, more than a dozen Marines aimed their guns and fired decisively! Bullets pierced the air and shot towards them!
"Damn it, hurry up! How can I die in such a place!"
Zoro couldn't help but feel impatient.
"Ah!"
Koby screamed and buried himself behind Zoro and Luffy!
"The rope gets tighter and tighter, but it's okay, my companion will solve them."
Luffy was also anxious, but it wasn't the flying bullets that worried him; it was the tightening rope that caused him a headache.
"Your companion?"
Zoro was stunned.
At this moment, a crescent-like sword energy slashed from outside the courtyard wall! The tall courtyard wall collapsed instantly, the earth was cut apart, and the sword energy swept across so fast that dozens of bullets flying towards them were instantly shattered! Simultaneously, more than a dozen Marines armed with guns were also knocked into the air by the aftermath of the sword attack!
"What!"
Zoro was immediately shocked. He was a swordsman and a sword fanatic. He naturally knew the significance of this slash. He couldn't help but be shocked, staring at the person who walked in from outside the courtyard wall.
"Moonlight, Sir!"
Koby was surprised.
"Oh, here you are. They're handed over to you. I have to untie this rope properly."
Luffy said indifferently, concentrating on untying Zoro's rope.
"Okay."
A faint voice rang out, and then Moonlight appeared in everyone's sight.
"It's this guy! Did one sword send the bullets flying?"
"He can emit sword aura! And the speed of his sword aura is faster than bullets!"
"It's amazing! What a terrifying slash this is!"
Seeing Moonlight, the Marines couldn't help but be surprised. Such a slash was truly terrifying.
"Who are you, daring to fight against the Marines? I am Colonel Morgan from the 153rd branch!"
Morgan stared at Moonlight and shouted. Although he had confidence in his own strength, he knew, upon seeing Moonlight's slash, that a ruthless person like Moonlight was definitely not an opponent. He tried to intimidate him with his rank as a Marine Colonel! The Marines represented the strongest force in the world, and no one dared to challenge them!
"Die!"
However, Moonlight ignored him and swung the Sacred Pheasant Sword, a ten-meter-long crescent sword aura spreading around his body!
"Crack!"
Immediately within ten meters, all the Marines were cut down by the sword energy. Moonlight did not kill them; he only seriously injured them. But Morgan had no time to react. The axe on his left arm was smashed to pieces. His huge body also flew backward, soaring a full fifty meters away before falling to the ground, bleeding profusely. He was seriously injured and passed out! With one blow, the Marines were all incapacitated!
At the same time, the voice of the system rang in Moonlight's mind!
"Ding! You performed a Sword Draw, gaining 100*100 experience points!"
"Sword Draw lv2 (40000/100000) [Promote]"
The progress of Sword Draw had increased again, and it would soon rise to lv3, allowing him to cut steel!
"This guy can do all that with just one sword!"
Zoro's pupils narrowed, staring at Moonlight. This sword skill deeply shocked him!
"Huh!"
At this moment, Moonlight swung his sword, and the rope on Zoro was suddenly cut off!
"Ah, it's broken!"
Upon seeing this, Luffy couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Moonlight, Sir, truly amazing!"
Koby admired.
"Forget it, the matter has been resolved. Let's go!"
Luffy waved helplessly, ready to leave.
"Well, Koby, you can stay here as a Marine."
Moonlight nodded, and then prepared to leave.
"These guys, who are they?!"
Zoro murmured, suddenly shouting towards Moonlight.
"Hey, who are you?"
"We are pirates! My name is Monkey D. Luffy, a man who wants to become the King of the Pirates! Our goal is to find the great secret treasure, the One Piece!"
Luffy replied.
"Pirates? Let me join you."
Zoro frowned and said.
"Oh?"
Luffy couldn't help but be stunned and stopped.
"Although I disdain the evil ways of pirates, I have offended the Marines. It has nothing to do with justice, so I will join you. My goal is to become the world's number one swordsman. Having this kind of character in your team, I'm very excited about it."
Zoro said, looking at Moonlight with excitement.
"The world's number one swordsman! Okay, okay! Just join us and become our companion!"
Hearing these words, Luffy became excited and decisively approved Zoro to join the crew!
"Are you so casual?"
Moonlight couldn't help but say helplessly. But Luffy's judgment was indeed quite accurate, and Zoro had a sharp will.
"Even pirate hunters..."
Koby couldn't help but feel sad. After seeing Morgan's brutality, he was suddenly disappointed in the Marines.
"Haha, Koby, not all Marines are like him. We are leaving; you can stay here."
As if understanding Koby's thoughts, Luffy patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"Mr. Luffy!"
Koby couldn't help but be moved. He also knew in his heart that what he had just witnessed had only disappointed him for a while. Becoming a Marine had been his dream for many years; how could he easily give it up!
"You are so amazing! You actually defeated Morgan! I knew it!"
"Everyone, thank you so much! Let us celebrate for you!"
At this moment, Rika ran over, saw Morgan lying on the ground, couldn't help cheering, and then said with joy.
"Celebrate? It means there's a lot of food!"
Hearing these two words, Luffy couldn't help but his eyes flashed and became excited. At that moment, regardless of anything else, he ran towards the town.
"Haha, let's come together!"
Rika was very happy, especially looking at Zoro. Zoro nodded and did not refuse.
Page 13: The Marines' Justice
"Captain, Sir, let them run like this?"
Just when Moonlight and his party left, many Marines gathered on the heights of the Marine base and looked at the scene that had happened below. This was the Captain of the 153rd branch, second only to Morgan in the branch. At this time, Morgan was defeated, and everyone looked to him for leadership.
"They are pirates, representatives of evil! We are the Marines, messengers of justice! How can we allow pirates to act recklessly under our noses?! Arrest them in an hour!"
A glint flashed in the Captain's eyes, speaking righteously, and he ordered!
"One hour? Yes!"
Upon hearing this, all Marines responded immediately. A similar light flashed across their faces. The Marines and pirates were indeed natural enemies, but they had their own justice in their hearts! Morgan was ferocious and violent, even treating his own men harshly, rampaging through the village, and exploiting the villagers; they had long been angry. The justice of the Marines was definitely not like this!
