Chapter 10: Koby's Determination

"Leave it to me over there, go and exchange the treasures you got from Alvida Pirates to beri. Whether it's buying a boat or supplies, we need to use beri." After feeling it with Observation Haki, Luffy turned back and said to Nami.

"Don't you need my help?" Although she knew that Luffy was strong, she didn't know how strong he really was and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, the Marines here can't kill me, and maybe we will have another partner." Luffy replied.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you at that tavern over there after I've exchanged the treasure, but don't make me wait too long." Nami said and didn't insist, though she was a little worried, Nami chose to trust Luffy since she accepted Luffy's invitation to go to sea.

Nami glanced at Luffy, then took the cloth bag full of treasure from Luffy's hand and walked towards the direction of the trading shop where Koby pointed.

"What about you, Koby? I wanted to part ways with you here, but since this happened, do you want me to show you what marine life is like in this town?" Looking at Nami, who gradually faded away, Luffy turned his head and asked Koby, who was still at a loss.

Koby was surprised by Luffy's question and said, "Lu... Luffy, you mean... take me to the Marine Base here?"

Koby has absolutely no idea what Luffy means, and he has no idea what Marine in this small town is like.

Looking at Koby, who was still timid in front of him, Luffy couldn't help but be speechless again.

"Not all Marines have a righteous heart, and that's one of the reasons why I didn't become a Marine. The Marine Captain in this town is one of the most disgusting Marine in this world. How about it? Do you want to take a look with me? then reconfirm your determination to be a Marine?" Luffy asked with some wickedness.

Luffy was a transmigrated person here, and there was no need to act according to the established character in the original book.

"I'm going to see it, but even if that's the case, I won't give up being a Marine!" Although slightly frightened by Luffy's questions, Koby still shouted his own opinion loudly.

"Really? Come with me then. I hope you can persist like this." Luffy said and walked towards the execution square that he perceived in Observation Haki. Koby, who was behind him, saw Luffy leave and immediately trotted to follow up.

By the time Luffy and Koby came to the gate of the execution square, Koby was already out of breath. Seeing Luffy stop, he hurriedly put his hands on his knees and panted heavily.

Luffy looked calm, then stretched out his left hand to hold the straw hat on his head, then stretched his right hand forward and quickly held towards the edge of the wall that was not high in front of him, then looked back at Koby, who was still panting, and said, "Come here and hold my hands."

"This... isn't that bad?" Seeing Luffy look like he wanted to force his way in, Koby's righteous habit recoiled again.

Seeing Koby like this, Luffy didn't talk nonsense any more, and he directly stretched his left foot and wrapped it around Koby's body.
