Captain Luffy sighed heavily as he walks away from the small village alone, did was odd to think this man who just died lived so close to his home island.
Roronoa Zoro a man who wanted to be the greatest swordsman in the world, a dream that ended because another's greed for power.
Luffy glance down at the sword on his hip, Zoro's Wado Ichimonji; he taken the young man's body to his dojo that he was raised in and spoken with his old teacher.
Luffy asked for the sword even though he did not how to use this type of blade; he was used to a sword double edged one, this was long and was a single blade. The reason for his asking for the sword was for an reminded; Luffy just witness first hand what power going to one's head could do, seen the fear of the town's peoples as he walked passed the; and then there was the lost of life.
Luffy touches the sword's hilt lightly, never would he allow himself to be blinded by his status; the name Roronoa Zoro would live in his heart forever and safe guard it.
The Captain stares at the docks where a small marine ship was; his little ship named Rare Breed. It was a one man ship that was normally on board the main one. However he asked for a short leave after he gotten the reports on what happened at the marine base, now the whole base was under investigation and the Heartthrob Pirates were moved the another marine base along with Morgan.
Luffy left his entire crew at the base to replace the ones lose, they were only to happy that Lambeth was now their Captain.
Luffy jumps on his ship, it was fifteen feet long and only four foot wide. It has a large bump which was a single room, the mast was upon the bump. The helm was at the very front of the little ship.
Blinking he quickly moves to untie the ropes that held his ship to the docks, he needed to return for a new crew and head towards a place called Orange Town; which was the reason he had to leave so fast, a report had came in while on leave, a pirate had overthrow the town eight days ago and it was only made known now.
Luffy halts as he moves the ship away from the docks, his Den-den was ringing again.
"Captain Luffy?" A dry bored voice came over the mouth of the den-den.
"Here." Luffy answers as he runs to his helm and takes a seat in front of it as he steers the ship around.
"We have confirmed the pirate attacking Orange Town." The voice came again, "Buggy Pirates, their captain is Captain Buggy. Records show he is a fruit user."
"Orders are the same?" Luffy asks as he takes in this new information.
"No." The voice went on, "Go ahead of your new crew, they are two days away while you are half. Sail into the night if you have to."
"Alone...?" Luffy frowns at this.
"Alone. You have been deed as the stronger," The voice says sighing a little, "Captain Buggy's papers should be coming now gull by the morrow, be sure to read through before taking him on."
"Understood." Luffy said as he hears the den-den shutting down, he bolts the helm and standing he hurries for his maps to change his course.
