Chapter 6: Explanations

Chopper was busy tending wounds of Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, and Zhen.

Nami and Usopp both woke up in fear, but were calmed down.

After that everyone went into the kitchen, in which Sanji started making sandwiches.

Zoro asked "So, who's the warrior?"

All of them looked to Zhen.

Zhen glanced at them for awhile and sighed "Forgive me, pirates for not introducing myself earlier. I am Hunter Zhen, but you may call me Zhen. I am one of the protectors of my people's land of Kanan of Jangru Island. This land has been sacred to the Kanan people for thousands of years."

Franky asked "Wait, I thought this island was called Jigoku Island?"

Zhen growled at the name "Those damn pirates just decided to name this place once they set foot on this island. They made everyone slaves working us in Hell Fortresses. Each fortress contains a commander and a slave unit."

Brook exclaimed "That's what I and Franky encountered. We fought some demon named Ryu."

Zoro growled "Let him finish the story."

Zhen sighs "I see you took Ryu, that's nice but he's nothing compared to the other commanders. You see the reason they have put us in slave units in so they searching for something."

Robin asked curiously "What is it that they're looking for?"

Zhen's eyes were overshadowed so that you couldn't see them and he muttered the words "Red Eye…"

Nami asked "What?"

Zhen replied cautiously "The Red Eye of Central Cove."

Franky, Brook, Robin, and Chopper were shocked.

Chopper thought of what Gaishou said of some red eye waiting to be found.

Robin thought of when Gaishou told her of the Central Cove.

Franky and Brook both thought of the time when Ryu stated something about finding a Red Eye.

Zoro asked him "What red eye?"

Zhen sighed and looked at them all with disconcerting look as if he told them to get lost. "I don't care if it's pointless, but the Red Eye is a weapon used to control people of their will, faith, and belief. It can destroy all that and make you a true slave without question. The pirates want that power to control the entire Grand Line. You think you guys can defeat them."

Luffy slammed his fists onto the table, causing everyone to look at him. "Of course we can! What?! You don't think we're not strong?!"

"LUFFY!" Nami and Usopp yelled at him.

Zhen scowled "Listen to me. These pirates are tragedy. I know you guys are pirates, but I don't care. Just go away from this island!" He was on the verge of tears. "Please just go! You don't know what it feels like to have lost your children to those pirates! The captain has some kind strange power to control you. He controlled my son, daughter, and wife making them commit suicide!" He got on his knees and started to bang his fists onto the floor.

Nami's and Usopp's eyes widened. Robin, Franky, Brook, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and Luffy had stern looks on their eyes.

"Can you really defeat an enemy that tries to break you apart? Can you really overcome this kind trauma? I've wanted to answer those questions when I was free. I….I….I don't…know….why…..I thought…..I just thought if I could be free, I could stop the pirates all by myself. I wanted to AVENGE my family, my people, and my village. I want it all free. Is that so much to ask for? Freedom…." Zhen cried so many tears.

Luffy went up to the man and said "Listen, I understand what you're going through. That pain of losing someone. It's an uneasy feeling for sure. I'm sorry for your loss. We'll help you defeat these pirates. Just guide us to them, and we'll KICK THEIR ASSES!" Luffy yelled and the Straw hats smiled at their captain's words.

Zhen has his eyes awed on the straw hat-boy. He muttered "Who…are you people?"

"Monkey D. Luffy, I'm the man who'll be the King of the Pirates, and Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"I am Roronoa Zoro, to be the World's greatest swordsman that is my purpose."

"I'm Nami."

"You stand before a living legend, the most revered pirate who ever lived, the man who took down 9,000 men at Enies Lobby. I am the great 'Captain Usopp.'"

"I'm Sanji."

"Chopper."
"Robin."

"I'm Franky, SUPAH!"

"They call 'Dead-Bones Brook.' Yohohohoho!"

Luffy put his fist into the palm of his hand and said "We'll help you defeat these guys, and then we'll free your village."

Zhen stared at the pirates at hand. Truly, they were the strangest people he has ever met.
