Hi again! Thanks for reading my previous chapter. I am a dopey writer, and only write when I am bored and have spare time, and since I am in 7th grade, I am still really busy, I have to read an entire book with 500 pages soon, so, I won't be able to update very often. Anyway, enjoy the story

Luffy seemed to be enjoying the nice weather, and stuff, while Coby was being the navigator, and was telling us that we should reach the marine base, where he will acomplish his dream of being a marine.

"He's held there. That famous pirate hunter... Roronoa Zoro! He's like a beast, hungering for blood. He lives only for the bounty. He slits everyone's throats. He is like a demon in a human body." Said Coby.

Eventually, we came to an island, we decided to dock there, since there is the marine base, and Zoro, on the island. We walked through the markets, while Coby was trying to convince Luffy to not make Zoro part of the crew.

He ate a pear, said it delicious, and gave the money to they owner, and said, " I wonder if Zoro is inside that base," and now everyone tries to stay away from us. Luffy and Coby just kept walking like nothing happened, and Luffy said, "Let's get going to the marine base, you want to join the marines right?"

"Yeah, but I don't think I'm ready," Coby said. " I heard that Captain Morgan is in charge of that base." He said, while everyone tries to keep farther away from us. I personally thought it was strange.

'Why would they be afraid of Captain Morgan? I thought he was a marine, and the marines, and supposed to be the good guys. So why are they afraid?' I wondered to myself as I kept walking with them.

We kept walking until we came to a gate that said MARINE on it. Both Coby and Luffy seemed excited. Coby was crying saying that this is where we part ways? Or something like that. Luffy climbed the wall to get a peek.

"Where is that demon?" Luffy asked out loud. "Found it!" Luffy exclaimed moving to a shorter wall. "See, that guy!" Said as me and Coby both joined Luffy on top of the wall.

What I saw, was a tan and muscular man, wearing a white shirt, a green waist belt, green pants, and boots, with a black bandana on his head.

'I'm guessing that's him, the great pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro.' I thought

"If we untie him, he can escape right?" Luffy asked.

"No way. Don't do it. I can sense that he is dangerous." I said. (I have a sixth sense)

"Don't say stuff like that stupid!" Coby yelled.

"Hey, you guys, your bothering me, get lost." Zoro said, while Coby was just screaming. It kinda scared me for a second, it's like a dead corpse suddenly talking.

I have no idea why, but a ladder appeared next to me, and a little girl came up the ladder, who shushed us, went the down the wall, and ran torwards Zoro, despite the warnings from Coby.

"What?" Zoro asked.

"Are you hungry? I made some onigiri (rice balls)." The little girl said.

"You're gonna get killed, shorty, go away." He said.

"But, you haven't eaten anything though." She said, as she unwrapped the piece of paper, she held close to her chest, to reveal two rice balls. "Here, this is my first time, but I made it with all my heart," she said, offering him the rice balls.

"I'm not hungry. You're annoying, hurry up and go home." He said to her

"But-" she said, trying to reason.

"I don't want any! Don't make me hurt you!" He yelled as gates opened.

"You shouldn't be bullying kids." Said a new voice. I looked torwards the direction of the voice, and saw a man with short blonde hair, with many marines behind him. Coby seemed relieved that they were marines, so the man took one of the girl's rice ball, and took a bite. He made a terrible face. "It's full of sugar! Onigiri (rice balls) needs salt! Salt!" He yelled at her.

"But, I thought it would taste better sweet." She said back.

"That tastes awful!" He yelled, as he kicked the other rice ball to the floor and stomped on it.

The girl started crying. "I tried to make it with all my heart." She said, while still crying.

"You haven't read this poster yet?" The man said taking a paper from his jacket. "Anyone who helps this criminal, will be executed. Marine Captain Morgan."

He told one of the marines to toss the girl out, but, the marine did nothing. The blonde man threatened to tell his father, who was Cpatain Morgan, and the marine, tossed out the little girl.

Luffy caught the girl as soon as she passed us. She thanked him, while me and Coby asked are they okay. They were both fine. Suddenly, Luffy was gone.

Later, we found Luffy, we went to the girl's house. Luffy told her that Zoro ate the rice ball, that Captain Morgan's son stomped on, and said it was delicious. She was so happy.

"I'm starting to wonder if Zoro really is an evil guy like they said." Coby wondering aloud.

"No! He's in Jail because of us. Everything is Helmeppo's fault. Captain Morgan's son.

Flashback (the girl's)

"Move, Move! Clear the way for my cute pet!" yelled through the streets with his "cute" pet fox (I think it's a fox). "Anyone in the way, will be executed!" He yelled.

The fox entered the restaurant that the girl and her mom owned, and started eating people's food. The girl started hitting the fox with a broom, and yelling it to stop.

"Do you have a problem with my pet?" Helmeppo asked

"Rika stop this. Your going to get in trouble," the mom said. Helmeppo started laughing when the fox tried to attack the girl, when it was knocked out by, no other than Zoro.

Zoro was happening to be eating, and Helmeppo tried to attack Zoro, but Zoro swiped it away, and pinched him in the face. Zoro the took out one sword, and pointed it at said that both the pet and the owner are annoying.

Helmeppo was smirking,"Don't you understand? If my father finds out about this, those people will be executed. Why don't we make a deal? Why don't you don't go to jail for them? If you can survive for one month, I will let you go. How about it?"

"One month right?" He asked as he dropped his sword.

End Flasback

"It's been three weeks. That Helmeppo punches and kicks Zoro while he is tied there." Rika said.

We all heard glass breaking, we went into the restaurant, and we saw Helmepp, and a couple of marines being served. He announces that he is tired of waiting, and that he will execute Zoro tomorrow.

Luffy was so mad, he ran up, and punched him in the face. I did it too. I knew Zoro was dangerous, but nice. I couldn't just sit there, knowing that he is going to be executed tomorrow. No matter how much I hate humans, I could never let anyone, who is innocent die.

Helmeppo again, threatened to tell his father. Luffy also announced that he is going to make Zoro, part of his crew.

I didn't notice when, but Helmeppo slipped away. I seriously suck at noticing these things. Luffy slipped away too. When I noticed, I had an idea where he went. So, I went after him.

When I arrived, I saw Luffy going torwarss the base, and a called for him.

"Wait up, Luffy!" I yelled.

"Oh, hey, it's Jessica! You wanna help me find Zoro's swords?" He asked

"Sure why not? It sounds fun." I said as we started running together. When we reached the base of the base, Luffy noticed something on the roof, and he grabbed me, and he slung shot us up to the roof.

When he got there, he grabbed the string of the giant statue, and pulled it up right, but then it fell the other way, and the marines, couldn't hold up the giant statue, and it broke in half. The top half fell off the roof.

"I'm sorry." Me and Luffy both said.

"Capture that guy and girl!" A man with blonde hair, really tan skin, an axe for a hand and a thing over his jaw, that sorta reminds me of a robot. (I suck at explaining)

"Hai!" The marines yelled

"Father! They were the ones who punched me!" Helmeppo said

"Oh it's you!" Luffy said suddenly popping up in front of the guy. "I've been looking for you. I need something to be returned, he said, as he dragged him off, with me following them.

"After him! Won't let them escape!" Captain Morgan said.

"Where is Zoro's sword?" Luffy demanded

"I'll tell you! So, please stop dragging me on the floor!" Helmeppo said. I looked, and realized that he was infact being dragged on the floor.

Luffy stopped and asked him again. This time, Helmeppo pointed behind us, and said, "It's in my room, we just passed it.

There were three marines behind us, and I took care of them with my trident. I just took it out, and knocked them out. I'm not a killer, but I do know self-defense.

After that, we just ran into the room that Helmeppo said was his. When we entered, I noticed three swords in the corner.

"There are three swords." I said.

"Which one is Zoro's?" Luffy asked

But, Helmeppo was dizzy and passed out. I looked out the window, and saw that Coby and Zoro, who was still tied up, was surrounded by marines.

I flash-stepped over to them, and defeated as many marines as possible, I took out one half of them, when they decided to fire. I was prepared to block it with my water, when Luffy jumped in front of me, and blocked all the bulltets. The bullets bounce off him, and shot back at the marines. The marines, Captain Moragan, and Zoro were shocked.

Zoro asked what he is.

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy said

To be continued...
