Roronoa Zoro

*** shells Town, East blue ***

After separating from Nami, Adam went to the ship's hold and took a few weapons, took a gun along with some ammunition, raised a saber at his waist and threw a razor in his pocket, then took a small bag with gold and went out to walk the streets of shells Town observing the different construction styles.

compared to the land, everything had a more medieval style but with light touches of the modern era, the people of this world were also very different, all the people are extremely tall and well built, despite measuring almost 1.78 meters high, Adam was still within the low spectrum in comparison.

besides that, the way of dressing was quite simple and without many differences from one person to another, and many people wore a sword tied at the waist.

"So I really got to another world" Adam sighed while buying food and some clothes, at that time, he had complex emotions, on the one hand he felt sad and terrified of his current situation, while on the other hand he was full of emotion and expectations about this new world.

After finishing buying everything necessary to continue his journey, Adam returned to the ship and took all the supplies to the store and put his new clothes in his bedroom.

When he finished arranging his things, Adam decided to take a tour of the city, while wandering the streets, Adam arrived at the doors of the navy base.

'So this is where they have Roronoa Zoro huh? I guess you could always give me the time to meet him in person,' Adam thought as he climbed the wall, when he reached the chasm he quickly found a man tied to a wooden cross.

" I guess it's him "he said before jumping to the other side and walked towards him.

*** at the same time in another place in the city ***

Nami was in a restaurant waiting for her food, while behind the restaurant a girl was telling Luffy the reason why Zoro had been captured.

a few days ago, hemelpo, the son of the navy captain took his pet for a walk in the town, but it was a wild wolf.

hemelpo arrived at the girl's restaurant and the wolf began to wreak havoc, the girl tried to stop it but hemelpo yelled at her and said he would accuse her with his father, while the girl was dying of fear, the wolf pounced on her, in that moment Zoro appeared and killed the wolf before hitting hemelpo, afraid that he was going to kill him, hemelpo threatened Zoro telling him that his father would arrest the whole girl's family, seeing Zoro doubted, hemelpo told him that if he left capture for a month, he would forget everything and leave the family alone, Zoro agreed to do so and that was how he ended up in his current situation.

"Are you saying that Zoro just killed that guy's pet?" Luffy asked.

"That's right, he is not a bad person," the girl nodded.

"You're right, maybe he looks bad but he's just a bounty hunter ... and that's not a crime," Coby said, realizing that Zoro wasn't bad.

"The only bad guy here is Captain Morgan, if you don't do what he says he execute you," said the girl with a pout

just then hemelpo entered the restaurant followed by a couple of marines and sat at a table.

"Hurry up and serve us, we'll eat for free today," he said with a smug expression.

"Do not make me angry or I will tell my father, or do you want to be like that Zoro ??, just so you know I got bored of him and decided to execute him" he said with an unpleasant tone

"Therefore, tomorrow he will be publicly executed so that everyone learn that you should not disrespect me," hemelpo continued.

When Luffy heard this, he was filled with indignation and became completely furious.

"I've decided, I'll make Zoro joining me," said Luffy and hit Helmelpo in the face.

"You're a despicable" shout Luffy.

"How dare you hit me, not even my father has hit me in the face" hemelpo shouted.

"You don't know who I am? I'm Captain Morgan's son, I'll tell him everything!" Hemelpo threatened Luffy.

"I don't care, why don't you come and fight for yourself," Luffy said as Coby held him so he wouldn't keep hitting Helmelpo who was running in the direction of the navy base.

*** back with Adam ***

"Hey you, can you hear me !!" Adam said loudly when he approached the man.

"Haaa? Who are you?" the man asked.

"You must be Roronoa Zoro? right?" Adam asked as he examined him from top to bottom

"That's right, I'm Roronoa Zoro, what do you want?" Zoro asked in annoying tone.

"You don't look so strong," Adam judged after a while.

"haaa ??" said Zoro confused and upset

"I guess it's expected since you were so long in the sun," Adam murmured as he plunged into deep thought. When he saw Zoro for the first time, Adam really thought he looked pathetic, he had a sick face and seemed about to die, but he still had an aura full of danger and savagery.

"Why don't you untie me and I show you how strong I am" said Zoro annoyed; he really felt this was not his lucky day, first the girl came with the onigiris, then that annoying pretty boy appeared, trampled the food and ordered his men to throw the girl away, then that guy appeared who wanted him to become a pirate and now this guy came and told him that he seemed weak.

"Hehehehe, I guess after a month tied there it is admirable that you can still answer me," Adam said with approval.

"Anyway, what do you want?" Zoro asked, still annoyed.

"Nothing really, I was just curious so I came to meet the 'dangerous' pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro," said Adam as he sat in front of Zoro.

"By the way, how did you end up like this, it's not supposed you are on the right side of the law?" Adam asked curiously.

"That's not something of your interest, now get out and leave me alone," said Zoro

"I guess you're right," Adam said sighing and turned in the direction of the wall.

There was a moment of silence while Adam just looked at the wall as if looking for something.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Scream exasperated Zoro.

"Because I'm waiting," said Adam, who was still looking at the wall.

" waiting for what?" Zoro resigned.

"Not what, who," Adam said just when a boy in a straw hat appeared in the distance.

"So, you come with him," Zoro said even more annoying.

"Not really, I've never seen him before," Adam said in a defenseless pose.

"Then why do you are waiting to him?" Zoro was really confused with this guy.

Adam looked at Zoro and tried to imagine what would happen now that he was here "for nothing in particular, it's just ..." Adam stopped and decided to watch silently trying not to divert the course of fate.

"Hello again" the new boy greeted Zoro as he looked at Adam curiously.

"What do you want now, I have already told you that I won't become a pirate" Zoro scolded without waiting for the new boy to continue.

"I'm here for you to join me" Luffy said with a smile.

"I have told you very clearly, I do not want to be a pirate, and I already have my own plans," said Zoro with a firm tone.

"What gives you more, you already have a bad reputation," said Luffy, Adam could barely contain the laughter when he heard it.

"I do not care what they say about me, I haven't done anything that I regret and I plan to continue like this" Zoro explained more and more annoying.

"ok, it`s decided, you will join me," Luffy said with a face would be.

"I said no!" Zoro shouted in frustration.

"My name is Luffy" The boy turned to see Adam and extended his hand.

"Adam" he greeted him and examined him.

"You look strong," Luffy said as he looked at him, Adam could only laugh awkwardly, until a few months ago he was only a student and now someone told him that he looked strong, although he had been practicing with his saber since he arrived in this world, he knew that if He was facing either of these two, he would definitely be beaten, so when he heard Luffy say he was strong, he really wanted to cry.

"Why did you come here?" Luffy said curiously.

at that moment Adam had the impulse to tell him that he wanted to join his crew but then he thought about his dealings with Nami and how that could change fate and he was filled with doubts about what to do next, unable to make a decision, he thought that it would be better to let things take their course

"i was just passing by" Adam replied trying to act normal.

"You didn't, you say you were waiting for him" Zoro interrupted with a smile "I thought you meet him"

"..." Adam was speechless for a moment

"is that so?" Luffy asked confused "so you were looking for me, but I don't think I know you"

"In fact we don't know each other," Adam said as he thought about what to do next.

He thought of mentioning Garp but Luffy would think that he is from the Navy, nor could he mention Dragon or Ace because at some point he would be exposed, he thought about telling him that he could see the future but with his presence in this world he did not know if something else was different and that would cause too many complications, nor could he say that someone sent him because he had told Nami that he was lost.

Just when he was running out of options, an idea came to his mind.

"I saw you a while ago when you saved the girl and heard that you wanted him to join your crew, so I was curious and decided to take a look," Adam said quickly.

"So that's how it happened," Luffy said, smiling as Zoro looked at Adam suspiciously.

"That doesn't explain why you were waiting for him," Zoro said suspiciously.

"Well, since he said he wanted you to join him I assumed he would come back sometime," Adam replied quickly, yet he couldn't help but give Zoro a poisonous look.

"I also wanted to see if the dreaded pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro ended up becoming one," he said with a smile as he reminded Luffy of the reason he had come.

"It's true," said Luffy. "Zoro, I've heard you're good with the sword, is it right?" he asked excitedly.

"If I wasn't tied, I would show you with pleasure," Zoro said resignedly.

"Really? Then where is your sword?" Luffy asked.

"The idiot son of the captain took it," Zoro said angrily, "my precious sword," he added eagerly.

"Eh? precious? It must be important," said Luffy

"Of course it is," Zoro replied.

"If it's so important why don't you get it back for him and he can join your crew in return," Adam told luffy while Zoro gave him a murderous look.

"Done, it's a deal," Luffy replied determinedly.

"Wait, I don't agree," Zoro claimed.

"Just listen to him and join him," Adam said laughing to Zoro while Luffy looked at him expectantly.

Zoro took a moment to think of a way to avoid things.

"Well, I will join you only if he also joins" he said looking at Adam with a smile

"Done," Luffy said before looking at Adam.

"I'm sorry but I already have a partner," Adam said with a smile.

"Besides, this has nothing to do with me, I'm just passing through," he added as he took a few steps back.

"Do you already have a partner? So you are pirates too?" Luffy asked.

"Not really, let's just say we're just a couple of adventurers," Adam lied.

"It's a shame," said Luffy.

"Don't worry, Zoro is still here," Adam said, pointing to Zoro.

"True Zoro, join my crew," Luffy said again.

"I already told you ¡¡no!!" Zoro replied.

" because first you must bring his swords," Adam said.

"Good," Luffy nodded and walked towards the base of the navy.

"Wait, I didn't agree," Zoro shouted.

"Well, I don't think he can hear you," Adam scoffed as he walked Luffy away.

"Your bastard, why do you get into what you don't care about" Zoro scolded

"Well, you can always tell him no when he comes back," Adam said, making Zoro give him a murderous look.

"Is he going to get in the base ?? he is crazy," Zoro said stunned to see how Luffy was carrying the marina unprepared.

"keep calm, I'm sure he will be fine," Adam said, seeing where Luffy was headed.

Zoro just gave him a blank look and fell silent again.

"" What are you really doing here? "Zoro asked.

"I'm really looking for my partner, something tells me that she is also inside the base," Adam replied.

"Now I understand, that's why you sent that guy there, you wanted him to cause a distraction," Zoro said angrily.

"Not really, for your information, all Marines are on the roof of the building at the moment, they are raising a statue of the current captain of the base, ax arm Morgan," Adam said.

" So, what do you want?" Zoro asked.

"You'll know in a moment," Adam said, hiding that he was only afraid of changing the course of destiny and preventing Zoro from joining Luffy.

'is Good nothing bad happened,' Adam thought wiping a drop of imaginary sweat.
