Neo Romance Dawn 2

"So this is where Roronoa Zoro is..." I said to Koby, getting down from the small dinghy.

"Feels great to be on land again, Huh!" Koby said as he adjusted his round glasses.

"Do you really want to Recruit Zoro? I heard that he is just a demon in a human's body." Koby said to me, Scared of the swordsman. I heard many people on the streets getting scared upon the mention of Zoro.

"Yup, There is also a marine base here so You can join the marines." I said to Koby who nodded.

"The marine captain here is axe hand Morgan." Koby said to me to which the people in the streets got scared once more like zoro.

"Why are they scared of hearing the captain's name?" Koby asked me, To which I chuckled.

"Remember Koby, Once you see the true colours of this world, You realise that The world is not all black and white, It is grey, Not all pirates are evil tyrants and not all marines are good." I said to Koby, he seemed to be thinking. We walked some more till we arrived at the marine base.

"Koby here wants to be a marine." I said to the man on the gate who laughed.

"Kid, You must be 14 or older to become a marine." The gate guard said to Koby and I to which I laughed.

"Pfft, He is 16. Shishishi." I laughed while holding my stomach as Koby had an embarrassed blush, He looked like an eleven year old.

"He is!?" The guard said with Suprise.

"Y-Yeah..." Koby said with a low voice.

"Come inside then." He said as he opened the Gates for Koby.

"Okay Koby see ya' Again, Don't come after my head okay." I said to Koby with a smile as he entered the building, Being led by The guard.

"Things sure have diverted from the canon, Koby never joined before I recruited Zoro. Eh, Doesn't matter." I said as I walked towards the place where zoro was tied up to.

I came near a wall that I saw in the canon story line, Behind it must be zoro. I climbed the wall using my Gomu Gomu no abilities and stood on top, Looking at zoro.

"Ha ha." A girl was climbing the wall as well, a large leaf on her hand that seemed to be used to pack something inside. Form My memories I could deduce that this was Rika, The girl that gave the onigiri to zoro.

"Hey, What are you doing?" I asked her, She was struggling to get up the wall so I got close to her and helped her climb.

"I am here to Feed Zoro-onii." She said as she held the onigiri in her hands tightly.

"You want help getting down then?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"I can get down." She said as she jumped from the wall but managed to land perfectly, Like she has done it several times.

She offered the onigiri to zoro, Which he declined. Soon, Helmeppo, Morgan's son came near zoro and started saying something but it was unclear to me as I was still very far from them.

Helmeppo threw the onigiri on the ground and Rika started crying as Helmeppo's men threw her behind the wall.

I stretched out my arm and caught her in time before she made contact with the ground.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded.

"I am okay, Thanks Oni-Chan." She said.

"You should go home now, I will free zoro." I said as I leaped behind the wall.

"Yo, Roronoa." I said as I raised my hand. Zoro looked at me.

"What do you want, Go away, Sho Sho." He said as he tried Shooing me away.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, The future king of the pirates." I said as I introduced myself. I went near him and started untying him.

"Oi, What are you doing?" Zoro asked me with an angry tone of speech. I continued freeing him.

"Helmeppo is thinking about Killing you tomorrow, I want you to join my crew." I said as I untied him partly before looking at him.

"Tsk, I knew that guy was up to something, And I don't want to play pirates kid." Zoro said angrily.

"You have no choice, Beggars can't be choosers." I said as I went In front of him and sat down on the ground.

"I am not a begger. Can you give me those onigiri." Zoro asked me, I lifted up one of the onigiri, it was more dirt than rice.

"You sure wanna eat something like this it is more dirt than rice." I asked him, he only nodded slightly before opening wide. I put the onigiri in his mouth.

"Tell the girl it was Tasty." He said as he chew the entire onigiri whole.

"Okay... You use swords right, Will you join me if I bring you your swords?" I asked him.

"Tsk, Do what you want, I don't want to die before I accomplish my dream." He said.

"Okay then, Gomu Gomu no." I said as I stretched my arms, in order to go to the marine base.

"What are You?" Zoro asked, Surprised of my arms streching.

"I ate a devilfruit, Gomu Gomu no mi, Shi Shi Shi. Ahhh." I jumped while talking to zoro, my stretchy limbs carried me all the way to the marine base, I smashed into the marine base through the window.

"Luffy?" A voice entered my ears, It was Koby In front of him was the same guard. Koby seemed to be filling a form or writing something.

"You are the kid from before." The guard said ahe tried to grab hold of me but I ran away to find Zoro's Swords.
