As Luffy was fighting alongside his new crewmate Roronoa Zoro. They were beating up some marines in the court while the 'captain' of this marine base, 'Iron-Axe Morgan' was busy on top of a tower trying to place a statue of himself correctly.
At some point, the screams of pain of the marines were so loud that Morgan could hear them.
Actually, he could hear them since quite the time but didn't care more than his statue.
Morgan was kind of frustrated unable to focus by all those screams and noises.
He decides to jump from the tower of 20 floors and he lands with his 2 legs on the floor.
"WHO DARES TO MAKE THAT MUCH NOISE HERE!?"
Morgan screamed in anger, annoyance and frustration. He looked like he had too much of it and wanted to end it. Like he could take on the world but for his selfishness reasons.
"Oho! You the captain!!?"
Luffy asked excited as he always want to fight against stronger opponents, he then turns around and looks at zoro with a confident grin and focused eyes.
To zoro's eyes, it could look like Luffy ordered him to fight with him against Morgan, which is exactly what Luffy wanted.
Morgan quickly goes to Luffy and his axe gets closer to his neck, it looks like he will slash Luffy.
Luffy last second turns around to see Morgan's axe near his head but he knows he can't dodge it nor block it.
However, he knows he doesn't have to be scared because he has a loyal crewmate.
"Ohh! Sush a clean and shiny axe!"
Luffy said childishly, talking like they were nothing but mere toys.
It just shows how confident and trustful he is to Zoro.
Zoro then quickly slashes Morgan and kill him.
It isn't a big threat to zoro anyways, he is known to be a very skilled swordman.
Morgan falls on his chest, his face stumbling against the hard ground covered with sand.
"Idiot, what if I didn't cut him?"
Zoro asked concerned but his tone and face seemed nonchalant, proving his loyalty against Luffy even though they just met.
Luffy then smiled and looked at him trustfully.
"Why wouldn't I trust you huh?"
Luffy said genuinely curious and concerned, his head tilting to a side, his mouth closing, his eyes straightening aswell. You could even imagine a red question mark appears next to his head.
Zoro sighed, looking unbeloieved by Luffy's stubborness.He then packed his swords, he looked around and saw a kid stealing glances from the fence. It was just Koby trying to get to know the situation.
"who's that?"
Zoro asked annoyed by his presence, like he didn't want anything but sleep right now.
He then looked at Luffy and before being able to say anything, Luffy yelled like he always does.
"KOBY…!! We finished!"
Luffy yelled hard, the whole village could hear him. It was like a huge achievement for him even though it wasn't hard.
Then Zoro, Luffy and Koby met up.
The remaining marines went to them but they didn't want trouble, they just asked Luffy and Zoro (and Koby) to leave and that what happened didn't leave their domain.
Koby who wanted to be a marine was left there by Luffy and Zoro. Luffy had to act tough and aggressive to make Koby a better reputation.
Then Luffy and Zoro sailed for new adventures.
