"What were you thinking?!" Jaune yells

"I'm sorry." a girl meekly replies

"That was really reckless of you." Coby states

"I know." the girl meekly replies again

"You're pretty dumb and reckless, to charge in like that." Luffy comments

"reminds me of someone I know." Jaune mutters

"I was trying to help." the girl mutters

*sigh* "Why do you want to help that guy so much?" Jaune asks

"Because he's the bestest and nicest person in the whole wide world!" the girl exclaims

"Okay then, what did he do that caused you to be so determined to help him?"

She smiles brightly as she retells her story, "Well, when the meanie let his dogs loose on the town, he stepped in and stopped them from harming anyone, but," the girl's smile then turns upside down, "Then the meanie told him that the town won't be hurt anymore if he hand himself in."

"He doesn't sound like a demon." Coby says

"Luffy? What are you thinking?" Jaune asks suddenly fearing for his safety when he look behind and see Luffy's thinking face

"We need to untie him and make him join the crew." Luffy declares

"Oh, well, if you wanna do that then you'll need to-" Jaune advises, but Luffy ignores him and proceed to scale the wall in front of him, "Hey! Don't ignore me!"

Sensing something approaching, the pirate hunter raises his head, only to see someone wearing a straw hat walking towards him.

"Get lost."

"You are Zoro right?"

"So what if I am?"

"I'll untie you, so join my crew."

"Join your crew?"

"I'm looking for people to join my pirate crew."

"Me? Becoming a pirate? Forget it!"

"What's wrong with being a pirate?"

"They're the scums of the world."

"You're no better, people are calling you a demon."

"People can call me whatever they want, but what I want has nothing with being a pirate."

"Yeah? But, I've already decided that you're gonna join my crew."

"Don't go deciding that on your own!"

"You use three swords right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"If I go get those swords back for you, you'll have to join my crew."

"Like hell I'll join-"

*THUD*

"Ow, I think I know why Luffy is named Monkey D. Luffy. He scaled that wall like it was nothing." Jaune remarks while rubbing his sore bottom

"Hey! Jaune! I got good news!" Luffy shouts and jogs over to Jaune

"Luffy! Did you get that guy to join yet?" Jaune asks

"No, but if I go get his swords back, he agrees to join us."

"I didn't agree to anything." But Zoro's statement falls to deaf ears

"That's good! So how do we get it back?"

"We go to town, beat up the right person and go get it back."

"That's a terrible plan."

"Well what do you have?"

"I was thinking about going inside the marine base," Jaune then looks at the base beside them, "and I don't know? Ask them if they can return it?"

"That's a terrible idea."

"Well at least it's better than your 'going-around-town-beating-people-up' plan!"

"I got an idea!" Luffy claims as he stretches one of his arms to grab a nearby wall and wraps one around Jaune,...

"I don't like the look of this."

And aim,... "GUM!"

"Luffy, the talking and negotiating options are still open for considerations."

"GUM!"

"Luffy please stop and think about this!"

"ROC-"

In a last ditch attempt Jaune yells, "Luffy I don't wanna," "-KET!" "dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
