Shells Town, Division Blue of the Eastern Navy, where Division 153 is stationed.
Originally, Shields Town was a peaceful and tranquil place, but since Colonel Marine, the ax-wielder Morgan, arrived, the townspeople not only had to pay several tributes, but they also suppressed the townsfolk and Navy soldiers, making life miserable for everyone here.
Morgan has an arrogant and domineering son named Helmeppo. He believes he is Morgan's son and intimidates the weak everywhere.
Some time ago, he encountered Roronoa Zoro, a bounty hunter, and instead of making a "deal," he said that if Zoro could be tied up at the execution ground without food or water for 30 days, the mother and daughter at the restaurant would be saved.
"Hahaha... What an idiot. I said that the bounty hunter who let them go actually believed it. In reality, he voluntarily tied himself to the execution site. I don't know what was going through his mind."
As he walked down the street, Helmeppo arrogantly spoke to the Navy soldiers following him.
"A bounty hunter? The bounty hunter you're talking about is a guy named Zoro?"
Suddenly, a young man with a straw hat on the opposite side stopped Helmeppo and asked.
The crowd, which had been bustling in the street, suddenly dispersed.
A deathly silence fell.
Helmeppo's expression froze even more as he looked incredulously at Luffy standing in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
Luffy casually picked his nose and then stuffed it into Helmeppo's open mouth.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Helmeppo hurriedly grabbed his throat and vomited.
"Ahahaha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Luffy laughed heartily.
"How dare you do this to me, do you know my father is Colonel Morgan?! Huh?! Kill him for me!"
Helmeppo commanded the Navy soldiers behind him with a fierce look.
"Leave this to me," Su Yi suddenly stood up and then waved his arms under Helmeppo's bewildered gaze and Coby's surprised look behind him.
Puff puff...
A group of Navy soldiers who were about to shoot suddenly screamed. They stepped back, horror evident on their faces.
In the original book, these Navy soldiers had a conscience.
But it had been suppressed by Morgan for a long time, and they didn't know how to resist, so they helped Morgan abuse others. In Su Yi's eyes, although these people wouldn't die, they weren't good either.
"You... you... you..." Helmeppo collapsed to the ground, looking at Su Yi in horror.
"Get out of here." Su Yi wasn't interested in killing the opponent. It would be better if the opponent escaped to attract Morgan, so he could kill them together without having to go to the Navy Castle to find them.
"Let's eat first; I'm hungry." Luffy's stomach suddenly growled, and he covered his stomach and said.
However, when the three looked around, they found that all the residents were looking at them with fearful eyes, clearly reluctant to welcome them.
"Big brother, come have dinner at our house."
Suddenly, a girl with braided horns called from a small restaurant.
Five minutes later.
The three of Su Yi were sitting in the restaurant, feasting.
"This is delicious. After floating in the boat for several days, I ate hard bread and didn't even have enough water to drink. I almost starved to death…"
"I need to find a navigator; otherwise, I can't even find a direction at sea."
Luffy did his best to stuff food into his stomach but was still able to talk.
Su Yi was much more polite, but his food wasn't appealing. As a traveler, he didn't care about so-called etiquette, and the reason he ate less was that he couldn't eat as much as Luffy.
"I'm really sorry; I still want to thank you for taking care of me." Coby bowed and looked apologetically at the owner and the girl.
"It's okay; you defeated Helmeppo to help us."
The owner waved her hand and said indifferently.
"By the way, do you know anything about Zoro?" Luffy suddenly asked after he was full.
Upon hearing the name Zoro, the owner and the girl fell silent.
After a long time, the girl opened her mouth and told a story.
"That day, Helmeppo let in the wild wolf he raised in our shop, and it was Big Brother Zoro who helped us…"
"… He was willing to be tied to the execution ground; the purpose was to let Helmeppo release my mother and me."
"Souga, he doesn't sound like a bad guy," Luffy said, patting his fist.
"Hey, then do you know where the execution site is?"
