Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Arriving At Shields Town (New Book For Collecting Flowers)
After playing around for a while, Mo Chen asked “Meili” to pick him up, and everyone was ready to land.
“Merry” has been dressed up by Nami in various ways these days.
Now wearing a black Lolita.
The joints of the body are covered by various lace, ribbons and other decorations.
And after absorbing the “Nika Fruit”, her temperament feels like a real human being.
On the surface, she looks like a very cute girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
No one thought she would be a doll.
Everyone entered the town of Shields together.
This is a peaceful and prosperous town.
And also stationed Marine’s 153rd Branch.
In the East Blue area, most pirates do not have the courage to approach the area where Marine is stationed.
Once ashore, Luffy was eager to try.
Before, Mo Chen asked the group of minions to prepare sufficient food and water.
Luffy has not been hungry these days, full of energy, and shouted:
“Where is that ‘Pirate Hunter’ Zoro?”
“I have to go see him soon.”
Roroja Zoro.
A man who aspires to become the world’s number one swordsman.
For this goal, he chose to go out to sea to find the first swordsman “Hawkeye” in the world of pirates.
As a result, he is a super lunatic.
As a result, it leads to being lost for a long time, and the material and money are exhausted.
So, in order to earn living expenses, they kept catching pirates in exchange for bounties.
to outsiders.
He’s a weirdo who floats around at sea all day, catching pirates.
It is like a bloodthirsty and ferocious beast that is constantly looking for prey.
So in addition to the nickname of “Pirate Hunter”, he got the nickname of “Warcraft”.
Ordinary people will naturally not think he is a good person when they hear these things.
Sure enough, with Luffy’s roar, the surrounding pedestrians ‘snapped” away from Mo Chen.
Suddenly, the street was full of chickens and dogs.
All passersby dodged subconsciously like a conditioned reflex, staying away from Luffy.
Then looked at Luffy and the others with a slightly frightened expression.
Kirby was a little ashamed, and said softly:
“It seems that here, the name of this ‘Pirate Hunter’ is forbidden.”
Mo Chen recalled this episode.
Zoro’s notoriety is secondary.
The point is that this place is under the rule of a vicious Colonel Marine.
This Colonel Marine named “Monka” is the highest officer here.
The character is cruel and ferocious, arrogant, and self-reliant.
Plus it has a pretty decent strength.
There is nothing here that he dares to disobey him.
Thus, the entire town of Shields and the Marine branch here became his voice.
ruled by him brutally.
His son Beilu Mabel also used his father’s name to act recklessly and be domineering.
He even kept an evil wolf and brought the evil wolf around the town to show off his power all day long, causing a smog.
Some time ago, Beilu Mabel let the wolf hurt people.
It happened that Zoro wandered here, and killed the wolf in order to save people.
By the way, he also taught Beilu Maber a lesson.
Others feared his murderous father, but Zoro was not at all.
Belumeb has no way of confronting the mighty Zoro head-on.
So, Zoro is threatened that if he leaves, he will attack the residents of the town.
In order not to implicate the residents, Zoro voluntarily surrendered his weapon and captured it without hesitation.
Belumeb made a bet with him and was tied to the square for a month.
As long as he can live without food or drink for a month.
Belumeb will release him and write off his “crime”.
Zoro accepted the bet without hesitation.
There is no doubt that the other party will deceive him.
Judging from this character and encounter, it is somewhat similar to the character “Oden” who appeared in the later plot.
It is a pity that there was no powerful comrade-in-arms who could turn the tide around Oden at that time.
In the end, he could only reluctantly save his partner and die with regret.
Zoro, on the other hand, met Luffy when he was exhausted.
If Luffy doesn’t show up.
Zoro, who lost his weapon and was exhausted by hunger and thirst, may also be killed by a despicable villain, and he will die with hatred.
Now the townspeople are afraid of Zoro, not because of Zoro’s notoriety as a “monster”.
It was because Zoro was labeled a “criminal” by Belumeb.
The townspeople knew that this was an unfounded crime.
But if he has a relationship with Zoro, he is likely to be implicated and be executed as a “companion” by Beilu Mabel.
Luffy didn’t care about the reaction of passersby.
As he walked, he said to himself:
“Didn’t he get caught by Marine?”
“Then let’s go to Marine Base first”
“Kerby, don’t you want to be Marine?”
“Just to have a look together.”
Kirby said hesitantly:
“I haven’t made up my mind yet.”
“I want to wait until the ability of ‘mind’ has been cultivated to a certain degree before going.”
“I wonder if the officers here will accept me as a Marine.”
“I heard that the highest commander here is Major Monka”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Kirby’s voice was quiet, but the name “Monka” was like a bomb dropped.
The passers-by who had just slowed down were frightened again.
As if teleporting, he moved away from a few people at once.
During the period, various collision sounds of “ping bells and pings” sounded.
This time, the townspeople looked at a few people in horror.
There was uncontrollable fear on everyone’s face. *
