Chapter 4

"AAAAAAA! I've been shot! Bleeding! I'm bleeding! I'm gonna dieee!"

Aurora was kneeling next to Koby checking his wound. "Koby, hush! It's not fatal."

"Run for your life. They're almost here…"

"No!... I've… got to set you free as soon as possible!

Aurora closed her eyes, placing her hands over the wound. A light yellow glow encased her hands as they pressed down on the wound.

Zoro glanced at the woman in shock. "What are you?"

The wound had closed up and Aurora whispered in Koby's ear, "I'll take care of it." Then she walked over to Zoro and began to untie the ropes.

Zoro got over his shock and spoke again. "There's no need to worry about me. As long as I can stand this for a month, they'll set me free. Hurry and lea-"

"They won't set you free! Because they're gonna kill you in three days!"

Zoro started to freak out. "Nonsense…! That bastard promised me that if I survived the month, he'd free me…"

"It was a trick." Aurora softly stated. Being around these new people brought out her natural shyness.

"He never intended to keep his promise! That's why Luffy-san punched him on your behalf! Because he was toying with you!"

"Wh…what did you just say?"

"The Navy will never let the two of you off! Please! After we set you free, please help rescue Luffy-san! I will not force you to become a pirate, however he's my savior! Luffy-san is very strong! As long as you two join forces, you'll be able to escape town!"

The sound of guns cocking was heard and they looked up. A group of marines stood in front of them.

"That's enough! The three of you who have betrayed Captain Morgan… die here!"

Another voice rang out. "Surround the base! Don't let the guy with the straw hat escape!"

Aurora chanced a look to see a man headed their way. Marine Captain "Axe-Hand" Morgan came by his name. His right hand was replaced with a very large axe. Captain Morgan was a big man; he had a big steel jaw, a big axe, and a big ego.

"How interesting… the four of you are planning to cause political upheaval? Roronoa Zoro… I've heard of your name from a long time ago, but do not underestimate me. Before my great strength… you're just garbage! READY!"

'I can't die here… I still have things I need to settle!' Zoro thought frantically. 'Because I made a promise! I cannot die here!'

Aurora worked frantically to untie the ropes, glancing between them and the Marines every few seconds.

"FIRE!"

Just as the bullets flew, Luffy came down from above and used his body as a shield.

"YOU!" Zolo cried.

"LUFFY-SAN!"

Aurora let out a breath she'd been holding. "Luffy…"

Luffy's skin stretched and the bullets went flying back.

"It's no use!" he cried.

"What kind of human are you?"

"I am… the one who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy then held out three swords. "Look, which one is your treasured katana? I couldn't figure it out, so I brought all three of them."

"All three belong to me. I practice Santoryu- three-sword style."

"Resisting the Navy here together with me will make you an outlaw! Or maybe you want to die here?"

"Are you the offspring of the devil… forget it… rather than die here… why don't I just accede to your request… and become a pirate!"
