"You...you hit me!" Helmeppo cried. "Not even my Daddy, Captain Morgan, hits me!"
"As if I care!" Luffy barked.
"I'm telling my Daddy on you!" Helmeppo shouted. "When I do, you'll be executed!"
"Do you always have to have your daddy fight your battles for you?!" Luffy questioned.
Soon Helmeppo left

Meanwhile at the Marine Base
I am Great said, Morgan,
Captain Morgan is a very tall and muscular, intimidating man with blonde hair and a steel jaw and he has a huge steel axe on right arm and the handle of which seems to go right through his forearm he wears a large, billowing coat like a cape. His coat, however, does not have "Justice" on the back. He can also normally be seen smoking a cigar.
Yes sir You are the Captain Morgan sir said Marine soldier
But Lately, the offering seems to be decreasing said, Morgan,
Ah That about the money for the offering The Civilian have their financial problems too said Marine soldier
It's not the matter of Financial problem said, Morgan, It's because they don't respect me

What is it now questioned Morgan
There someone I want you to kill
Afterward, Luffy and Hayate soon return where Zoro and Saizo was at the Execution site
"You two again?" Zoro asked. "You've got way too much free time on your hands, huh?"
What do you want to ask Saizo if it about joining your crew then forget it
"Listen," said Luffy, "I'm gonna untie you the two of you, but when I do, you two gonna join my crew, okay?"
Huh questioned Saizo
"Man," Hayate muttered. "He didn't even ask."
"What did you say?" asked Zoro.
"I run a pirate crew," Luffy began, "and I'm looking for people to join up and I already manage recruit one and I need to gather more soon."
"I refuse," Zoro said, coldly to the boy. "You want me to become a criminal? Screw that shit."
Why would I become a Pirate ask Saizo there is no way I became a Pirate so give up already
"Why do you care about being a bad guy or not?" asked Hayate.
"I don't wanna lower myself to become some scumbag criminal, all right? said Saizo ...I also don't like the thought of the following somebody
"What's wrong with being a pirate?" Luffy asked with a bit of a pout.
"They're despicable," said Zoro. "As if I'd lower myself to become one of them."
"Does it really matter, anyway?" Luffy asked. "Everyone thinks of you as this demon who's out for blood."
"As if I care what society thinks about me," Zoro said with a smirk. "I've never had any regrets in my life and I never will. I WILL make it through this challenge, and when I do, I'll set out to do what I want."
I also have my goals as well I will becoming strongest said Saizo I will never have any regrets and will prove my owns strength against anyone once I do I'll set out to do what I want."
"Yeah, that's fine and all," Luffy began, "but...I already decided you guys are gonna join my crew."
"Huh Saizo Questioned.
"What?!" Zoro questioned. "You can't just decide that!"
"You're a swordsman, right?" Luffy asked.
"Yeah, but that damn Marine son took mine," Zoro answered.
"I'll get it back for you," Luffy started, "but when I do, you'll have to join me."
"How are you so thickheaded?!" Zoro yelled as he struggled against his bonds.
And you I will untie you if you agree to join my crew
Huh, what are you saying you little bastard? yelled Saizo
Okay I going come on Hayate
Luffy began heading toward the Marine drag Hayate along

Morgan hit Helmeppo and knock him down
Argh scream Helmeppo

But Captain She's just a little girl said Marine Soldier I couldn't do that to her
Couldn't do it huh questioned you are a Marine Lieutenant right and the rank of Captain is lower than the rank of Captain isn't
Yes sir answered Marine Soldier
In that case, you have no right to oppose me and refuse my orders If I order you to go then you will go
I can't do that said Marine Soldier
Morgan then attack the Marine Soldier for insubordination
You, Traitor, yelled Morgan
Gah scream in pain
You didn't have to do that said Helmeppo
Lieutenant said, groups of Marine Soldiers,

Yes sir said a group of Marines
Look This is a symbol of my power said, Morgan, A statue that has been finished today after years of work now stand up my great statue at the highest point of this base
A little while later, Luffy was seen running towards the base and looked around for a moment before dragging Hayate along.
"Hmm...so where do We go from here?" he asked before he heard some kind of commotion going on, which caused him to look up at the roof. "There's something going on up there." He then smirked as he reeled his arm back. "Let's have us a little look-see.
Hey Luffy let me go asked Hayate
"Get Ready Hayate Gum-Gum ROCKET!" Luffy shouted as he and Hayate went flying over the roof...a bit too high. "Whoooooaa! Oh, jeez, I overshot!"
Suddenly the Marine notice Luffy
Huh what the heck is that questioned a Marine
Thinking quickly, Luffy grabbed onto a nearby rope...which was attached to a giant statue of a man with an axe for a right hand. When Luffy landed on the roof, the top half of the statue cracked, causing the Marines who were hoisting it up to scream in horror while Luffy sheepishly raised his hand.
"Sorry about that," he apologized.
Idiot Don't do that again shouted Hayate
Then, KRASH! Half of the statue fell over and crashed to the ground, crumbling into rubble.
Just then, the man that the statue resembled, Captain Axe-Hand Morgan himself, turned to Luffy with a furious expression.
"ARREST THEM SO I CAN KILL THEM MYSELF!" he shouted.
"SIR! RIGHT AWAY!" the soldiers saluted, fearfully.
"That's him!" Helmeppo cried. "That's the guy who hit me, Daddy!"
"Hey, it's you!" Luffy exclaimed as he grabbed Helmeppo by the shoulder, causing him to shriek in terror. "I've been looking all over for you! Something I need to get back from you!"
With that, he grabbed Helmeppo and ran into the base, and the whole time, with Hayate following
Hey Luffy wait up said Hayate
At The Execution Site
What Luffy and Hayate is inside the Marine Base said Coby That way to reckless
You're right said Zoro who are they
Chosuke and Coby soon help Zoro and Saizo by untying the rope
Hey If you two help us they are going to kill you said Zoro
Well Luffy is a pirate who wants to become the King of the Pirate and Hayate well before he was forced to join Luffy's crew
What King of the Pirates said Saizo You're Joking right
I not Joking I was surprised when heard that but he serious and Right now I also wanted to fulfill my dreams too and I want to become a Mechanic said Chosuke
Yeah, I'm going become a real Marine Just like the way Luffy is determined to become King of the Pirate said, Coby,
Suddenly Coby was shot at the arm
Ahh Coby scream Chosuke
The whole time Luffy and Hayate ran, he dragged Helmeppo along the floor, running through the hallways, this way and that for several minutes.
"Hey!" Luffy called. "Where's Zoro's sword?"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Helmeppo cried. "Just stop dragging me!"
