Chapter 19 Awakening
"Huh? How strange?"
Zoro, who was tied to the cross, suddenly looked confused and muttered.
For a moment just now, he suddenly seemed to feel a particularly deep power hidden within his body.
But just for a moment, this feeling disappeared.
Luffy noticed Zoro's doubts, but didn't say much.
When he awakens later, he will know what that power is.
Throwing the frightened Belumeb aside, Luffy untied the rope for Zoro.
Zoro, who had regained his freedom, did not rush to find the sword that was taken away by Belumeber, but looked at Luffy and said solemnly.
"Luffy, I don't care what people in this world think of me. I will only act according to my own beliefs and will never regret it. It will be the same now and in the future."
"I have something I must accomplish and become the world's greatest swordsman."
"I will always work hard for this goal."
"So Luffy, what's your realization?"
"If your consciousness cannot match mine, then one day in the future, I will definitely choose to leave you for this goal."
"Even if that's the case, do you still want me to be your partner?"
After Zoro finished speaking, he stared at Luffy without blinking.
He has a good impression of Luffy, so he has expectations in his heart, hoping that the two of them can have the same great enlightenment.
Luffy smiled faintly after hearing his words and said, "I have only one goal, and that is...One Piece!"
"Yeah?!"
The corners of Zoro's mouth raised, and he suddenly said seriously.
"Roronoa Zoro, the Swordsman."
"Please take good care of me..."
"captain!"
Luffy also raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this and said.
"Monkey D. Luffy!"
"Welcome!"
On the fence.
"Is it a lie? That pirate hunter actually joined?"
"Oops! Will he chop us all up while we are sleeping?!"
Nami sighed in surprise at first, and then thought about the future crisis.
When Kirby saw this scene, he was once again infected by Luffy.
"As expected of Mr. Luffy, he even conquered the pirate hunters!"
Uta looked at Luffy's expression and smiled slightly.
"Luffy, he is very happy!"
...
Marine Base, Monka's office.
Nami slipped in excitedly and rummaged through the room until he found a safe in the corner, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Found it, found it!"
Nami ran over excitedly, and Nami squatted down and started doing her job.
He muttered while picking the lock.
"I have long heard that there is a Grand Line nautical chart hidden in this Marine Base. If you can steal it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money! Hehehe..."
Nami thought happily.
Click!
At this time, she finally pried open the lock of the box.
However, to her great disappointment, there was only a piece of paper inside.
It says [The chart was accepted by my uncle! 】.
Below this line of words, there is also a skull pattern with a red nose.
"Tsk! It seems the chart has been stolen!"
"Yes! This sign seems to belong to that clown Buggy and his gang. That bastard dared to steal the treasure that I was interested in."
Nami subconsciously continued what he said before, then suddenly realized something and turned around in horror.
She saw Luffy Uta and Zoro who had recovered three knives staring at her.
Nami was startled, stepped back unconsciously, and sat down on the ground.
"When did you..."
Luffy laughed when he saw Nami's guilty and flustered look.
"Nami, you knew there was a treasure here, why didn't you tell us?"
Zoro followed up with a finishing blow.
"You don't want to hide the treasure secretly and betray us at some point?!"
Impressed by the two words, Nami immediately waved her hands in a panic and said with a stiff smile.
"Ha...haha, how is it possible? How could I betray everyone?"
"I wanted to make sure I got the treasure first and then tell everyone."
"Otherwise, everyone will be disappointed if the treasure is not found."
"You see now, isn't the treasure already snatched by others?"
Luffy put his head close to Nami and stared at her suspiciously.
"Oh, is it so?"
Nami nodded like a fool, and the smile on her face became stiffer and stiffer due to being stared at by Luffy. It was almost like crying.
At this time, Luffy suddenly withdrew his head and struck each other with his fists.
"If that's the case, let's go get the chart back!"
Nami let out a sigh of relief when he heard this and thought to himself.
"Fortunately the captain is a fool, otherwise the secret would have been exposed!"
After Nami and Uta left the room first, Zoro suddenly became serious and said to Luffy.
"Luffy, this woman is not trustworthy, don't be fooled by her appearance!"
To Zoro's surprise, Luffy smiled and nodded.
"I know!"
At this time, Zoro also guessed that Luffy must have his own plan, so he said no more.
As long as the captain is not deceived by appearances!
...
News of Luffy's defeat of Monka soon spread to town.
Suddenly, the entire town became like Marine back then, cheering and celebrating.
"Very good!"
"The tyrant has finally been defeated."
"Finally liberated!"
"Let's have a party!"
I don't know who mentioned it, and the banquet immediately gained everyone's support.
Luffy originally planned to sail directly to find Buggy.
But when I heard there was a banquet, my heart moved.
If pirates don't hold banquets, can they still be called pirates?
So, Luffy decided to attend a banquet in Shieldstown.
