Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 10 Roronoa Zoro! (Please read~)

East China Sea, Yotsuba Island waters, Shields Town.

An atmosphere of peace and tranquility floats over the town, with people coming and going and traffic on the streets.

As a town backed by a naval branch base, Shieldstown's quality of life is more stable than many cities in the East China Sea.

Because they never have to worry about pirate invasion.

However, are things really as perfect as they seem?

As the saying goes, if there are no external worries, there must be internal worries.

If it were three years ago, Shieldstown would indeed be a town full of happiness.

But ever since Colonel Monka, who captured the great pirate "Black Cat" Crowe, was transferred to station here, the sky above Shields Town has been inexplicably shrouded in a layer of black mist.

No one could have imagined that the great hero Colonel Monka would turn out to be a violent dictator!
His many tyrannies have already turned this peaceful town into a mess.

Even the famous pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro in the East China Sea fell here.

This matter has become an important topic of conversation for people in several nearby sea areas after dinner.

……

……

"OK, this is it!"

"Luffy, go secure the ship at the port."

Under the bright sunshine, Chi Hong, who arrived at the port of Shields Town, stepped off the ship first, and then gave instructions to Luffy who looked reluctant.

Luffy was seen pouting, holding the cable in his hand and wrapping it around the wooden pile in the port.

"Really, I'm obviously the captain, why do you still need me to do this kind of work?"

Chihong ignored Luffy's complaints, looked hard at the back of Shields Town, and said:
“With great power comes great responsibility, have you ever heard of it?”

"It is precisely because you are the captain that you have to work harder!"

"When you have time to complain, you might as well get to work quickly! Do you still want to find a third partner!?"

"Hi~Hi! I know!"

As soon as Luffy, who was manipulated by Chi Hong, heard about his new partner, he immediately stopped complaining, tied the reins quickly, and then jumped to Chi Hong's side.

Looking at the huge naval base in front of him, he, a pirate, showed no fear at all. Instead, his eyes were flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"Hey, Chihong, is that guy really as powerful as you say?"

"The world's greatest swordsman in the future, paired with me, the future Pirate King, is simply... very cool!!!"

"Haha, when have I ever lied to you?" Chi Hong smiled softly, "Let's go, don't let our partner wait too long!"

"Ah? But I'm so hungry now. The food in that shop is so delicious. How about we go there after eating?"

Luffy held his growling stomach, sniffed, and suggested to Red.

What he got in exchange was a big white eye from Red.

"You idiot! You even think about eating at such an important time!?"

"Hurry up! Our future partners are still hungry!"

Snapped!
Chihong stretched out her palm and gave Luffy's neck a hard blow, making a crisp sound.

"Hiss~ It hurts so much, so red!" He covered his red and swollen neck, but was suddenly stunned:
"Red, your power!?"

It's no secret to Luffy that Red has no fighting ability.

He knew Chi Hong's special physique very early on.

It stands to reason that with Crimson's power, it would be impossible for him, a user with rubber fruit abilities, to feel pain.

But now, the burning pain on the back of his neck surprised him.

"Humph!" Chihong smiled proudly, "You're not the only one who can make progress, Luffy!"

"Okay, enough of the small talk, it's time to get down to business!"

After the words fell, Chi Hong took a step forward and walked towards the naval base.

Luffy was left behind, staring blankly at Red's back.

But after a moment, he suddenly grinned.

"As expected of my chosen vice-captain!"

Under the scorching sun, a boy in a straw hat chased a boy in a baseball cap.

……

……

Shieldstown is not that big.

It didn't take long for Chihong and Luffy to cross the streets of Shields Town and arrive near the base of Branch 153.

Because there were many navy soldiers guarding the gate, the two of them came directly to the side of the base in a familiar way.

Perhaps all the funds were squandered, but the walls of this naval base were not high at all, only about two meters high.

With a slight jump, Chihong and Luffy easily climbed to the top of the wall, revealing their heads to observe the inside of the base.

I saw a wooden cross as tall as a person placed in the open space behind the wall very strangely.

This is where Colonel Monca used to punish the rebels.

At this time, tied to this cross was a man wearing a green hood, a green bellyband, and three earrings hanging from his ears.

It is none other than the most classy man in the pirate world—Roronoa Zoro! ! !
"Um!?"

Even in such a miserable state, Sauron still noticed something unusual in an instant and turned his gaze to the fence where Chihong and the others were.

I happened to see the two heads placed on the fence. "Huh? He seems to have noticed us, Chi Hong."

"After all, he is the man I chose. If he doesn't have this vigilance, he is not qualified to be our third person!!!"

Luffy and Red said in unison.

Then the two of them synchronized their movements, stretched out their arms, and jumped directly from outside the wall into the interior of the naval base.

While looking at his favorite pirate character, Chihong asked Luffy:
"How, my lord captain?"

"Are you satisfied with the partner I chose?"

"Hey, I believe in your vision!"

Luffy giggled, looked at the rope on Zoro's body and said:

"Next, just untie the rope and let him go with us!"

"This... I'm afraid something is wrong."

Red shook her head and led Luffy towards Zoro's location, saying as she walked:

"The commander of this naval base is an extremely bastard..."

"If we just let him go, the residents of this town will probably suffer."

"So the best solution is to beat up the naval captain here too!"

"Okay! I listen to you!" Luffy shook his arms, as if he was saying something very easy.

The unscrupulous looks and the ever-closer distance between the two finally made Zoro unable to bear it any longer, and he suddenly said:

"Hey! You two guys, this is not a place where you can just come in!"

"If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly!"

Zoro's tone was deliberately mixed with some ferocity and malice, not wanting others to get involved in his affairs.

But who is Luffy?

Faced with Sauron's persuasion to retreat, he refused without a second's hesitation:
"Get out of here? I don't want to!"

Luffy curled his lips, then laughed unreasonably and said:
"Chihong said that you will become the world's greatest swordsman in the future!"

"Such a great guy, I must make you my partner!"

"The greatest swordsman in the world!? Partner!?"

Zoro's expression trembled slightly, and he immediately looked at the two people who had already walked to him, showing confusion.

Being able to speak out his dreams easily made him feel that the two guys in front of him were not ordinary people.

"Who are you two?"

"My name is Luffy, and I am a pirate." Luffy replied lightly, and immediately reached out to untie Zoro's rope.

Seeing this scene, Sauron immediately scolded him harshly:

"Hey! Don't touch that rope!"

But how could Luffy listen to him? He just went his own way and removed the rope from Zoro's right wrist.

"Hehe, I don't want to listen to you!"

"Anyway, when I untie you, you will definitely become my partner!"

"Damn it, you guy!"

"I will not join the ranks of pirates!"

Seeing that Luffy was about to dismantle the left side after taking apart the right side, Zoro quickly used his freed hand to stop Luffy.

He made an agreement with Colonel Mengka's son. As long as he persisted in this situation for a month, Colonel Mengka's son would let him and the innocent little girl go.

He has persisted for 9 days, how could he let outsiders destroy it so easily.

But at this moment, Chihong beside him suddenly said:
"Do you really think that the son of a naval colonel will abide by his agreement!?"

Crimson's words seemed to have power, and they stopped Zoro's arm instantly.

But he continued:

"Don't be stupid, Zoro!"

"He's just toying with you! No one can last for a month without eating or drinking. Even if you do it, in your weak state, you will only become a toy in his hands!"

"You should have guessed this, right!?"

"........."

Zoro fell silent.

Of course he expected what Chihong said.

But he didn't want to be at odds with the navy, so he still chose to abide by the agreement.

But Chihong's words were like a ruthless hand, directly tearing his impression of the navy's justice into pieces.

It wasn't until Luffy took off all the ropes on his body that Zoro straightened up, stared at Red and asked:

"Who are you again?"

"What about me?"

Chihong put away her serious expression, smiled gently and replied:

"My name is Red, I am the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and I am also..."

"New trainer!"
