"When are you going to die ? " Wanted to know Gredo, swinging his saber towards Loke.

Dodging the weapon with grace and elegance, the spirit found himself in front of the man and grabbed his arm. Then making his fist shine, he got ready to hit him. However, he had to take a step back to dodge a bullet, that grazed the front of his head. Jumping straight back, Gredo approached his brother, who reloaded his revolvers.

"Gredo, when are you going to slit his throat ? " Wanted to know Gredy.

"Shut up ! He don't stop moving. Try to shoot him."

" What do you think I'm doing ? I feel like this idiot can predict any of my attacks. "

" No, it's just that you're really too slow." Retorted the spirit, lightly dust their clothes.. " To be honest, I must admit that your duo is quite effective ! For your coordination, I give you a good point ! However, this is the only point I would give you ! For the rest, you have everything to review. "

" Grrr, are you looking for us or what ? And why do you want to fight against us, actually ? Do you want to die to trying save Roronoa ? "

" No, I'm just making sure to help Lucy. " He retorted.

" Me, I didn't ask you for anything. " Zoro suddenly raged, while a figure had crept up to him.

Trying to free him, Coby retorted.

" We must free you ! In fact, Hermep wants to execute you, tomorrow. "

" Huh ? " Astonished the man. " Impossible ! He gave me his word."

" He never intended to hold it. " Retorted the child. " He just wanted to humiliate you before to kill you ! Because of this, Luffy hit him and, now, we have become outlaws. "

" But why did you get involved in all this ? " Wanted to know the swordsman. " I nothing asked you."

" I want to become a Navy's soldier." Suddenly informed the child. " That's why I can't bear such injustice! Despite the fact that everyone sees you as a demon, the fact that you have captured dangerous criminals proves that you have a heart, compared to the men of this base! So, I tell you ... "

A shot from the roof's Navy base sounds at this moment. Opening their eyes wide, Zoro and Loke saw, in horror, Coby fall to the ground, with a bloodstain on his back.

" Coby ! " Cried Loke.

" You lowered your guard. " Suddenly sneered Gredo, rushing at him, sabers in hand.

Deciding that it was time to stop this stupid fight, Loke stooped to dodge his blade before throwing his fist in the stomach. An explosion of light then sounds, causing Gredo's body to fly ten meters behind. Rushing like a rocket, he ended up crashing against the wall of Navy's building.

" Gre… Gredo ! " shouted his brother.

Wanting to avenge him, he began to unload his weapon toward the spirit. Nevertheless, he saw Loke running towards him, striking each of his ammunition.

" IMPACT REGULUS GATLING ! "

Seeing him advance like a true god, Gredy could only cry while his weapons were now devoid of the slightest bullet.

" No, please. "

" This one is for Lucy. " Raged Loke, hitting him in the face.

Similar to his first punch, the attack robbed the second brother and crashed him alongside his twin.

" It is done. " Loke assured, turning immediately to Coby.

No longer paying attention, he ended up spitting blood, feeling several bullets piercing his body.

" What … ? " He wondered, turning around.

Seeing then several men aiming at him, from the top of the roof of the base, he could only be angry with himself, for not having felt their presence.

"Sorry, Lucy. " He thought, disappearing.


" Colonel, we have just brought down the two renegades. " Declared a soldier on the roof.

Hearing this, and seeing the cannons position themselves on the roof, Morgan ends up going towards the door allowing to leave the premises before declaring.

" I will kill Mugiwara and the blondie girl ! At my signal, you will fire and bombard Roronoa's body with cannon, as well as anyone else entering the yard, to help him ! Understood ? "

" Yes, colonel. "


" Hey, stupid man, tell us where is Zoro's sword. " Ordered a voice.

" Luffy, you're strangling him. " Noticed a second voice.

" I don't care ! He just has to tell me everything right away. "

Finally opening his eyes, Eraser noticed that he was on the back of a strange bipedal goat, while Luffy and Lucy were running near them.

" What… what am I doing here? "

Noticing then that they were inside the base, he began to shout.

" What are you doing here, you idiots ? I already told you to run away. "

Seeing him suddenly spit blood, Lucy placed a handkerchief over his mouth to force him to shut up.

" Don't speak ! You are hurt. "

Pushing aside the handkerchief, however, he retorted.

" Do you have no idea what Morgan could do to you, when he finds you? If I prevented your friend from becoming a soldier here, it is so that he escapes the Morgan's tyranny. "

Suddenly stopping to run, Lucy remained motionless before the man's confession.

" A problem ? " Capricorn asked, stopping just like Luffy.

" You did all that ... to protect us? "

" Of course. " Affirmed the man. " I ... I didn't want this man to take it out on you! Since becoming commander of this island, he has not stopped terrorizing the population! If you had noticed, there is no boat on this island, except those of the Navy ! He makes sure to destroy all means of transportation to prevent anyone from running away from here ! If I told you to leave, it was to allow you to leave the island before he noticed your presence. "

Then crying, Eraser finally mumbles.

" It is pathetic ! That's really all I can do against this man ! I would like … I would so much like to stop him ! However, he is stronger than me and in addition, he is my superior! I ... I can't do anything about him. Yet ... Yet ... "

Suddenly shouting, he said.

" I want this island to become what it was before his arrival. "

" E… Eraser? " Lucy wondered, noticing that she had made a mistake on the man's account from the start.

" Imbecile. " Suddenly cried a voice.

Taking advantage of the fact that Luffy stopped shaking him, Hermep had heard Eraser's speech and began to criticize Eraser.

" My father is someone invincible! Even if you decide to start a mutiny, it will be impossible for you and your men to stand up to it! He will kill you all without exceptions! If you want to survive on this island, you have to obey him. "

" You, shut up. " Luffy ordered him, pressing him against a wall. " Instead, just tell us where Zoro's sword is. "

" Luffy, wait. " Lucy stopped suddenly, looking at Hermep's face.

Noting that both of his cheeks were swollen, she noticed.

" Luffy only hit your left cheek ! So why is your second cheek also swollen ? "

" Tsss. " Said Hermep. " It's not the business of a pirate like you. "

" Your father beat you, right? "

" Yeah, so what ? " Asked Hermep. " He just showed me that I was nothing to him, except a spare part. "

" Spare part ? " Repeated Luffy.

" We are all spare part, here " Approved Eraser. " Whether soldiers, or his own son, Morgan sees us all as pawns that can be replaced. "

" In this case, why do you behave like this with others? " Wanted to know Lucy, looking at the colonel's son.

" I… I just wanted to show my father that I could be as terrifying as him! How I wanted to look like him! Nevertheless, it seems that his status is more important than his own son! Perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut and kept a low profile rather than strutting around at the slightest opportunity. "

A slap suddenly stopped him. This once, his cheeks were so swollen that he barely felt it. However, that didn't stop him from being frightened by Lucy's look.

" Hell, what's your problem? Just because this man scares you, none of you make the slightest effort to rebel ? Okay, he may be stronger than you, but what could he do against all of you, damn it ? He has an ax ? And so ? You have sabers ! He has superhuman strength ? You have guns ! Is he part of the Navy ? You too ! So what is stopping you from showing him the true sense of justice ? "

Listening to her, Eraser couldn't help but show astonishment, while Hermep looked down. Finally, he mumbled.

" In my room. "

" Huh ? " Said Luffy.

" What you're looking for is in my room. " He informed them, pointing to a door.

" Is that so ? " Said Luffy, immediately heading for the door in question, while still holding Hermep.

Entering the room, he and Lucy quickly saw three sabers leaning against a wall.

"Great. " Rejoices Luffy, walking towards them. " Which is Zoro's ? "

" All, stupid man. " Growled Hermep. " Everyone knows he fights with three swords at the same time. "

" Really ? " Asked Luffy.

While Capricorn placed Eraser on the Helmep's bed, Lucy finally looked out the bedroom window and exclaimed.

" Luffy! There is a problem. "

" Huh ? " Wondered the pirate, rushing towards her.

Looking outside, he finally saw Coby, lying at the foot of Zoro, while Morgan approached him with a few men.

" For trying to free a prisoner, you are considered a traitor. " Asserted Morgan. " Therefore, I would execute you myself. "

Seeing him raise his arm above his friend's head, Luffy wrapped his arm around Lucy, before crashing into the window. Dropping into the void, he took his friend with him, as well as Hermep, whom he still held by his collar.

" NOOOOOO, Mugiwara. " Hermep begged him.

" Capricorn, take care of Eraser. " Said Lucy.

" MORGAN. " Cried Luffy, rushing at him.

" Hum? " Said the man, turning to him.

Kicking him, Luffy managed to hit his huge ax and made him take a few steps back, before landing in front of Coby.

" Lu… Luffy ? " The child wondered, straightening up.

" Coby, how are you ? " Asked Lucy, noticing that he was injured.

" It's nothing. " He assured. " They just pulled me in the shoulder! But … "

He lowered his shameful gaze before continuing.

" But ... Loke, he ... he was kill and ... and he disappeared. "

" Don't worry. " Assured him Lucy. " Loke is not the chief of spirits for nothing! I promise we will see him in perfect health. "

" What are you still making here ? " Wanted to know Zoro.

" We got your swords back. " Luffy told him, handing him his sabers. " You had to say it before you had three. "

Then smiling at him, the pirate asked him.

" Good, to come back to my previous question: what do you intend to do? Wait until this ax guy decides to kill you or else help me kick his butt ? "

Smiling, hearing him, Zoro ends up saying.

" I have a dream come true ! Because of this, it is impossible for me to die now ! All right, I see that I have no choice but to become a pirate and work under your orders ... captain. "

" Great ! " Rejoices Luffy. " I found my third teammate. "

" It's only if we manage to get out of it. " Retorted the swordsman, glaring at the weapons of the soldiers pointed at them.

" Don't worry. " He said, suddenly giving Lucy the sabers. " Here, free Zoro with that. "

" But what about you ? "

" I make it my business. " Assured her captain, advancing towards the soldiers.

Recognizing the man who had just destroyed his statue, Morgan immediately exclaimed.

" Hole him, like a colander. "

Immediately shooting at the pirate, the soldiers sent him a multitude of bullets which touched him from all sides ... to finally simply stretch his skin.

" But that … ? " They wondered.

" Not even hurt. " Sneered Luffy, sending the balls back to them.

Seeing the soldiers flee to escape the bullets, Zoro and Hermep could not restrain a cry of surprise, seeing the powers of Luffy. Even Coby and Lucy almost had a heart attack when they saw Luffy on the verge of death.

" But that … ? "

" A fruit of the devil. " Morgan understood, seeing his men's shoots completely ineffective.

" That's it ! I ate the fruit of gum-gum. " Luffy told him.

" And me, the spirit's fruit." Lucy lied, taking out her keys. " Thanks to that, I can summon different types of spirits, like Capricorn. "

" Two ... Two users of demon fruit ? " Someone feared.

" But then ... they are supermen. "

" So what ? " Retorted Morgan. " If this guy is rubber, you just have to cut his throat ! And then just steal the blonde's keys ! Once done, slaughtering the girl will be a breeze! So use your sabers, soft rag strip. "

Dripping then, finding that they had no choice, each of the men ended up grabbing his saber and ran to Luffy to settle his account.

" As if you will succeed in touching me. " Sneered the pirate, preparing to strike the runner.

Nevertheless, a figure overtook him, in an instant, and came to block each of the soldiers with the help of three sabers. Finding themselves immobilized, the soldiers could only tremble in fear while Zoro held them back without much difficulty.

" Wow ! The class. " Cried Luffy.

" But how … ? " Lucy wondered, noticing that she no longer had Zoro's sabers in her hands.

" I barely had time to release him ... and he's already in action! Has he really eaten nothing for weeks ?"

" I plan to become the greatest saber handler in the world. " Suddenly cried the man. " I agree to follow you as a pirate! However, if one of you prevents me from achieving my goal, I promise to cut you all in circles. "

" The biggest saber handler in the world. " Repeated Luffy. " Yeah, it looks cool ! Almost as cool as becoming the pirate king. "

Then, stretching his leg and using it like a whip, the pirate sent the soldiers away and let them crash into Morgan's feet. The colonel, irritated by the weakness of his men, ends up grabbing a den den mushi.

" Hey, have you finished preparing the cannons? "

'' The six cannons are prepared and are headed on Roronoa. '' Assured him a soldier, on the roof.

" Very well ! Prepare to shoot ! However, I want the first three cannons change their targets. "

'' How is that ? ''

Suddenly looking at Luffy and his friends, Morgan said.

" If these guys are here, I bet it's because of the villagers, who asked them for help ! If this is really the case, they too are traitors. Shoot in the city ! "

" What ? " Horrified Coby and Lucy, not believing their ears.

'' But ... But colonel ... We can't do that, on mere suspicion ! And then, there is your son who is with the pirates! They surely hold him hostage. ''

" What did I tell you, earlier ? " Asked Morgan. " For me, he is only a spare pawn. Whether he's alive or not doesn't change anything in my eyes ! Kill him if you can't help it. "

" Da… Dad ? " His son horrified, falling to his knees.

" Sorry, but you're just good for nothing. " Affirmed his father, without the slightest hesitation.

" Some junk. " Raged Luffy, preparing to attack him.

" Think well, Mugiwara. " Advised the man. " If you attack me right away, who will protect your friends from cannonballs ? "

" What … ? " He wondered.

" In any case, I wonder who will protect the city. " Remarked the colonel, before shouting. " FIRE ! "

Immediately, six cannonballs were fired, three of which were aimed at Luffy, while the others began to fly over the wall, which surrounded the base.

" Luffy, you have to stop them. " Implored Lucy, seeing them disappear in the distance, to head towards the city.

" I… I can't do it. " Retorted his captain, preparing already to stop the three cannonballs that charged them.

Smiling, noticing that the pirate no longer controlled the situation, Morgan ended up looking up, however, when he saw a silhouette flying in the sky.

" What … ? "

Suddenly pierced, the six balls exploded under the impact of six spears of light.

" How … ? " The soldiers wondered on the roof, seeing their projectiles explode in mid-flight.

Others spears rushed over them and pierced all the cannons, causing them, too, to explode. Hearing several detonations on the roof, Zoro wanted to know.

" What is happening ? "

" Raynare. " Suddenly rejoices Lucy, recognizing her attack.

As for him, continuing to stare at the silhouette in the sky, Morgan felt a pearl of sweat run down his forehead, while he identified the fallen angel who had just detonated the cannonballs.

Seeing her, too, several soldiers began to back away.

" But, it's … ? "

"An angel ? "

"It's ... She's a heaven sent."

Descending then, Raynare ends up landing not far from Luffy and the others.

" You ? " Recognized Zoro.

" Where were you ? " Coby asked her.

Preparing to speak, the fallen angel was silent, hearing Lucy say to her.

" Thank you for what you just did, Ray-chan. "

" Ray-chan ? " She wondered.

" Don't call me Ray. " Ordered the fallen angel.

Then pouting, she said, in a sinister tone.

" And I didn't do that to save you or something like that ! I just stopped the cannonballs, afraid that they would hit our boat and my treasure."

Despite her selfish words, the look Lucy gave her made her realize that she didn't believe a word of it.

Before any of them could say anything, however, Morgan exclaimed.

" You damn winged monster, you're going to pay me! I'm going to slaughter you. "

However, a fist eventually touched his jaw and made him back away.

" You ? " Ragged Morgan, seeing Luffy stand in front of him.

" I forbid you to insult any my friends of '' monsters ''. " Taught him the pirate. " Or even touch any member of my precious crew. "

" Mugiwara ? " Raynare wondered.

" Haha, and what are you planning to do, Mugiwara ? " Sneered Morgan, taking off his coat, so he could fight better.

" Stop you ! " Assured him the pirate. " I'll make sure you can't hurt anyone anymore! Let it be Zoro, Lucy, Coby and Raynare as well as Eraser, Hermep and the others people on this island ! I'll never let you take it out on them again. "

Immediately losing his smile, Morgan ends up running towards him, ax forward.

" You'll die, you brat. "

What followed was a series of blows, some as powerful as the others. Relying on his brute force, Morgan sliced everything within his reach, while Luffy used his agility to avoid his attacks and counterattack. After a few moments, starting to run out in front of the straw hat, Morgan turned to his men.

" What are you doing, you asshole ? Put his friends at stake ! Use them as hostages. "

" What ? " Said the soldiers.

" Do you want too to die ? " Morgan questioned them, glaring at them.

Then they began to swallow, and several of them started targeting Zoro and the others, who were now too far from Luffy for him to protect them. Noticing this, Morgan looked at one of the members of the small group before ordering.

" You too, Hermep ! Put them on! "

" But dad, you ... " Began the man, trembling.

" Do it ! After that, maybe I can start considering you as a member of my family! You might even have the opportunity to impress me! Either way, if you don't, you know what will happen to you. "

Grinding teeth, Hermep clenched his fist. Then, finally, wrapping his arm around Coby's throat, he pointed a revolver on his skull before shouting.

" Mugiwara, step back immediately! Otherwise, I blow his brains out. "

Seeing him do it, Luffy froze for a few moments, then ended up asking him.

" Are you sure of your choice, Hermep ? "

" No. " Confessed the man, starting to sob. " I just know he will kill me if I don't do what I tell him. "

" Very well. " Cried Morgan, lowering his arm. " Pull ! "

With his finger on the trigger, his soldiers prepared to execute themselves when they could hear.

" STOP ! "

" Huh ? " Everyone was surprised, both soldier and pirate.

Hand on his aching chest, while a bandage now covered his wound, Eraser was the person who had just spoken. Assisted by Capricorn, the man had managed to leave the room and was now in the courtyard. Staring at his men, he ordered.

" Lower your weapons immediately. "

" But, sergeant…" Began a soldier.

" Are you really so stupid ? " Noticed the man. " Don't you see that Morgan is losing ? We have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, that of bringing this tyrant to his knees ! And today, that day has arrived ! Don't help him to win against this pirate ! On the contrary, we have to help Mugiwara to overcome the real threat of this island ! For our lives, as well as those of our families."

Then ceasing to target the pirates, each of the soldiers looked at each other, not really knowing what to do.

" Band of idiots ! I ordered you to shoot. " Raged Morgan.

" Do nothing. " Eraser ordered. " Let's just show that we always know what real justice is ! It's at you to decide! But do you really appreciate what we are doing right now? Do you think that should be the Navy's justice ? "

Looking at him for a few moments, several soldiers finally lowered their heads, before shaking their heads. Then, one by one, they threw their weapons on the ground, showing their support for Eraser. Noting this, Morgan immediately rushed towards Luffy, while ordering.

" Hermep ! Hold this kid with glasses hostage and make sure that Mugiwara cannot reply. "

Suddenly grabbing the blade of his ax, using both hands, Luffy tried to stop his run.

" So that way, you don't even have enough honor to fight loyally ? " Asked the pirate.

" All that matters is the result of the match. " Assured Morgan. " And I would advise you not to move if you don't want your friend to die. "

" No risk. " Retorted Luffy, smiling. " And you know why ? Because I am convinced that Hermep will never shoot. "

" Huh? " Said Morgan, looking up.

Then seeing his son, he noticed that he was still holding Coby, but that he was having a hard time deciding what to do.

" What are you waiting, fool ? Show this pirate that you are serious. "

" But ... I ... I ... " Stammered Hermep.

" Tsss. " Said Rayanre, creating a spear. " You always have to do everything here ! I'm going to kill him. "

However, to her surprise, she suddenly saw Lucy advancing towards the man.

" Lucy ? "

" Don't… come near. " Hermep ordered, pointing his gun at her.

Continuing to move forward, the magician suddenly grabbed his weapon, without tearing it from his hands before taking another step towards him. Then, being quite close to his face, she ends up slapping him a second time. This time, feeling pain, Hermep released Coby to put his hand on his cheek.

" Leave your weapon, Hermep. " She ordered him, while the gun could now kill her, given the direction the cannon was pointing. " Compared to your father, I know you don't want to be a murderer. "

" But… if I don't, I… "

" You want to impress him, right? In this case, show him which side you really are in and what you are worth ! Here and now, I leave you the choice ! Either you decide to continue to stand like a coward? in the shadow of your father, or you decide to join the ranks of the real navy and that you help procreate real justice ! It's up to you to see what you want ! In any case, I will be there to help you and I will never use you like a pawn ! Yes, as a friend, I promise you. "

" Fri… end? " Repeated the man, as if this word was not part of his vocabulary.

" Hermep, do what I tell you. " Morgan ordered him.

Nevertheless, he gave up hope, seeing his son finally drop his weapon, before kneeling. Then, his cheeks covered with tears, he looked at him one last time, before declaring.

" I ... I can't longer consider you my father. "

"You traitor. " Suddenly cried two voices.

Leaving the rubble that surrounded them, Gredo and Gredy suddenly started running towards Zoro and the others, pointing their weapons at them.

"Don't worry, Colonel Morgan ! We? Gredoy brothers, we are going to get rid of all these parasites. "

" Wonderful ! Hurry to kill them all. " Sneered Morgan, focusing on his fight with Luffy.

However, nothing he imagined went as planned. First, shooting several bullets, Gredy saw them disintegrate by Raynare's spears, which eventually exploded by touching him, throwing him into the air.

Then, thinking he was too exhausted to reply, Gredo had the audacity to attack Zoro. Handling his sabers to perfection, Zoro destroys his sabers and sliced the man from all sides before sending him into the air, using a tornado of air.

Finally, while the two brothers found themselves, next to each other, in the sky, Capricorn managed to jump and find themselves just above them, before hitting them, both, at the level of their skulls. Unable to reply, they fired towards the ground and two craters formed, at the level of the impact. Needless to say, they had been knocked out for good.

" Impossible. " Cried Morgan.

Suddenly hearing cracks coming from his ax, he noticed that Luffy had increased the pressure he was exerting on it.

" Impossible ! " Repeated the man, trying to back away.

Too late. Suddenly breaking his weapon, Luffy then swung his two arms back before declaring.

" This one is for destroying Coby's dreams. GUM GUM… "

" Cursed, Mugiwara! "

" BAZOOKA ! "
