Chapter 38

Luffy stood in front of zoro three swords in hand."Who are you, and where did you find my swords?"asked zoro.

I am monkey.d.luffy, and I want you to join my crew."Is that so well? I'm not interested in being a pirate."replied zoro.

"You want to be the world greatest swordsman, don't you."said luffy."Yeah, and what is it to you?"asked zoro.

"I'm not much of a swordsman, but I can teach you different techniques that will be essential for becoming the world's greatest swordsman."said luffy.

"Oh yeah, and what could these different techniques be?"asked zoro.Luffy smiled as he put down zoro's swords, his hand, turning pitch black.

"That it you can make your hands pitch black."said coby."Just watch and see."said luffy.

Luffy lifted his arms into the air, causing a massive shock wave and the ground in the area to crack, forming a massive crater.

Koby, elmepo, and zoro went wide eyes as kumi stood there unfazed by luffy's display of power."This is called armament haki, and one of the three types of haki haki is needed to become a great swordsman."

"You said there are three types of haki. Then what are the other two?"asked zoro."I'll tell you when you join my crew."said luffy.

"Okay, I'll join your crew, but you better not be lying to me, or I'll cut you down."said zoro."Okay, that's fine with me."replied luffy.

"He actually got him to join his crew."shouted elmepo disbelief in his eyes."That's luffy for you. He sure knows how to convince people."said coby.

"Who's are you? What are you doing on my island?"shouted captain axe hand morgan.Dozens of marines surrounded luffy,kumi,koby,elmepo,and zoro in an instant.

"Elmepo, you useless brat who are these people."shouted captain morgan.elmepo froze in fear as he was terrified of his father.

"Captain axe hand morgan, your rain of terror over this island is over. You will not harm these innocent people anymore."shouted luffy.

"Who do you think you are, brat? I'll show you shoot them all."Shouted captain morgan."Sir, what about your son he's among them."said a marine soldier.

"Did I tell you to ask questions ? kill that useless brat along with them."shouted captain morgan.

Tears streamed out of elmepo's eyes as he rememrememberedbered how if father beat him daily for the simplest things.

"You bastard he's your son. How can you even be so cruel to your own blood."shouted coby."It's not like I ever cared about him he's been nothing but a disappointment and a waste of space."said captain morgan.

captain Morgan's words rang through elmepo's head as he snapped.

"Shut up, you bastard you never cared about anyone but yourself that's why you killed my mother cause she couldn't stand you and then you use your status as a marine to get away with it just like you use it to get away with hurting innocent people your no worse than a bloodthirstypirate."shouted elmepo tears, still streaming down his face.

"Alright, you brat that enough out of you."said Captain morgan.Caotain morgan then raised his axe hand to chop elmepo into, but giant rock fists slammed into his gut, knocking him sending him flying into the wall knocking him out.
