4 Roronoa Zoro! The Pirate Hunter! GET!

"Luffy, let's not talk about this for now. Look! there's the island where Zoro is." Koby pointed at the island. Luffy shrugged and went to see the island. they decided to explore the island to find the pirate hunter.

When they passed by a clothing store. "Luffy! wait, I'm going to buy some clothes." Koby said. "sure, just hurry it up" Luffy is just watching the town.

while Koby is in the store. the first thing he did is see his figure. he doesn't have his round face anymore, his figure is close to when he was done training with vice admiral Garp and decided to visit the straw hat pirates at water 7. He had a lean body mass which made him a bit tall. he got an orange jacket and changed his white shirt but kept his black pants. He also tied a bandanna to his hair.

while Koby is changing, Luffy asked some vendors when he bought some fruits, "do you know if Zoro's at the base?" all he saw was that the people around him got scared. Koby paid the clerk, he has savings from his 2 years as a pirate and the looting that happened on the passenger ship.

Luffy watched Koby with his new look. "Well, Let's check out the base anyway."

after arriving at the base, they climbed the wall just to see the pirate hunter. the duo met a girl that tried to feed Zoro with an onigiri (no pun intended). Zoro told the girl to leave before someone saw her. but the marines showed up.

the blonde with a buttchin ate the onigiri and scolded the girl. and ordered his bodyguard to throw the girl. Luffy was getting ready to catch the girl. Koby patted Luffy's shoulder and said "I got her Luffy, this marines is too horrible! Come out Coo!"

Koby throws his Poké Ball and a seagull appears. the bird catches the girl and glides down. Koby went to the girl while Luffy confronts with the pirate hunter when he was alone on the execution ground.

"Are you all right?! how they dare to throw a child just because he doesn't like the food!" Koby reassured that the girl is okay and got mad at the blonde.

He then saw Luffy and Zoro talked about something and it looks like Luffy fed him something. they left and went to the house of the girl that serves food. Luffy told Rika which is the name of the girl that Zoro ate her onigiri and tastes good. Rika also thanks Coo and Koby for saving her, and tried to feed Coo some of the leftovers in her pack. Coo coughs and flew into the Poké Ball.

Koby saw the look of Luffy, determined to have Zoro as his crew. Koby smiled and asked rika. "Rika-chan, why did the marines captured Zoro? he's not a pirate." Koby also thought 'Not yet anyway.'

Rika then explains the whole story. that Zoro protected her from the blonde's pet and why is he in the execution ground. Speak of the devil, the blonde called Helmeppo came to the restaurant and told all about his plan to execute the pirate hunter as a boast.

Luffy got mad and punched the blonde. "I've made up my mind Koby! I'm..... going to have Zoro Join my crew! Doesn't matter if the marines got in the way!" Koby thinks that Luffy is really mad this time.

Helmeppo went to his father and complained "Dad! There's someone who I want you to slaughter. He punched me!" Morgan just ignored him and continues to direct his subordinates to be careful of the statue of himself.

"Dad! why aren't you going to get revenge? the guy who hit me. not even you've ever hit me in the face." Helmeppo questioned. "Do you know why I've never hit you before? because you're... A STUPID son who isn't even worth hitting!" Morgan Punched his son. Helmeppo runs like a chicken. they continued on not knowing there's a pirate in their base. Someone reported to morgan that there is a Pink-haired boy trying to free the pirate hunter.

"Nani?! A traitor trying to start a Coup or something?!" Morgan shouted

"Let's go men! We'll execute them!" Morgan led his men towards the execution grounds.

Luffy and Zoro talked with each other. Koby watched until Luffy went to the base. "Come out! Chimchar!" Koby and his monkey went to Zoro. "What are you doing brat! you'll be killed for doing that, you know?!" Zoro grumbles. Koby Ignores him and said "Chimchar, can you burn down the rope and not Zoro?" he pleads to his partner. Chimchar raised his thumb up and used his but towards the rope.

"What is this monkey?" Zoro was shocked by this. and noticed that the ropes that bind him are getting loose. Zoro was free and talked to Koby about why he did that. Koby then told Zoro about the plans Helmeppo had for him.

"But please help Luffy, I think you're also the only one who can help Luffy as his first mate in his voyage to be a pirate king!" Koby seriously said. "the first mate should be the 2nd in command and in power."

◇◇

"That enough you ruffians! For the crime of treachery against me, I'll now execute you from where you stand" Morgan and his subordinates pointed their guns towards the duo and a monkey.

'i don't have my sword!! I... Can't afford to die here!' Zoro then flashbacked to his childhood.

"GUM GUM NO ... ROCKEEEET!!!!" "FIREEEEE!" marines fired and some windows are broken.

Luffy jumped in front of his nakama and spread his arm. He got shot many times by the marines. "What are you doin--?!" Zoro gobsmacked but then he saw that the bullets were stopped by his spreading flesh. Everyone jaw dropped except the pink-haired boy and a monkey

Luffy then grins. "THAT DOESN'T WORK!" and the bullets ricochet from him. some marines were even shot by a bullet. Luffy continues to laugh.

"W-who the hell are you?!" questioned Zoro. He's still shocked

"I'm Monkey D. Luffy! The man who's gonna be King of the Pirates." Luffy declared.
