Zoro, Koby

"What do you like and dislike most, host?"

The voice of the God-tier Tycoon System seemed to be bewitching her.

Nami paused, taken aback.

She felt that the bounty poster in her hand was not like paper, but more like rotten silk, with a strange texture.

Nami answered instinctively, "My favorite things are money and Ju Zi, and my least favorite thing is pirates!"

"Why?"

"Pirates burned, killed, and looted, committing all sorts of evil deeds."

As the Q&A session reached this point, a glint of light flickered in Nami eyes.

She already has the answer.

After her material, safety, and social needs were met, she began to pursue a higher goal—the realization of her self-worth.

As a beautiful young girl, she was much more mature than her peers.

Nami knew that in ten or twenty years, her appearance would fade and her charm would be gone.

She wanted to do something to make the world a little bit different because of her existence.

She wanted her name to be passed down through generations and remembered by people.

Gol D. Roger, who single-handedly ushered in the Great Pirate Era, is still remembered for his famous line, "Want my treasure? You can have it all! Go find it, the Grand Line! I've left everything in the world there."

Nami also wants to become a person who can influence an era.

But...

They stand on the opposite side of pirates.

East Blue, Four Leaf Island.

A ship flying Straw Hat and skull pirate flag docked in Shells Town.

Pirates!

Residents stayed indoors and refused to go out.

Who doesn't know that the notorious Captain Morgan and those notorious pirates who dominate East Blue have some inexplicable and sordid illicit relationship?

Vice Admiral Wang Yan, who was transferred here from the Marine Headquarters, seems to have had good relations with Morgan.

Clearly, he is also someone who goes along with the corrupt practices.

No one expected the Navy stationed here to protect them; they could only hope that the Straw Hat Pirates weren't too greedy and would leave soon.

Everyone should sweep the snow from their own doorstep and not worry about the frost on someone else's roof.

In the Pirate World, ordinary people who lack sufficient fighting strength lead a very difficult life.

"I heard that the really skilled bounty hunter is right here!"

Luffy's lips curled into a wide grin, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "It's decided! I'm going to recruit him!"

Naruto crossed his arms, pouting, and muttered under his breath, "Why do I always run into such willful people..."

They're pirates now!

Is it really okay for him to show up so casually in a place where the navy is stationed?

If he hadn't been born in Foosha Village, he wouldn't have become Luffy's first First Mate!

When Naruto Uzumaki came to his senses, he found that his captain had vanished without a trace.

He was already used to Luffy's "runaway" nature and didn't take it to heart.

"Hey! Koby!"

From the northwest came Luffy's voice.

Naruto gazed into the distance and watched Luffy towards a short, chubby boy with pink hair, as if he had encountered an old friend.

Before he could react, he found an outstretched rubber arm wrapped around his waist.

Whoosh!

A hundred meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! How many times have I told you not to pull me like that!"

"If this happens again, I'm going to go out on my own!"

Naruto was dizzy and seeing stars, looking utterly sullen.

Luffy adjusted his Straw Hat and laughed carefree, "Koby, this is my First Mate, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Beside him, a short, chubby boy with a round face pushed up his round glasses, looking timid. "Y-you, hello!"

Naruto's sarcastic spirit burned brightly. "What... how can two people with completely opposite personalities be friends?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the three arrived at a small restaurant called foodfoo.

Pork bone, stir-fried mushrooms with pork, cream soup, clam chowder...

"Don't you have ramen here?"

Naruto rubbed his stomach, feeling a bit of pain.

God knows what Luffy's thought process is like; all the food stored on the ship is meat!

Smoked meat! Cured meat! Roasted meat! Dried meat! Braised meat!

He's almost developed a psychological aversion to it.

When we arrived at the restaurant, just when we thought we could finally treat ourselves, the other party ordered a whole table of meat dishes.

Naruto felt that the only things he could eat were the few bowls of thick soup.

Upon hearing Naruto's complaint, the shop manager Lily Xiang, rushed over, looking apologetic, and said, "I'm so sorry, we don't have a chef here who can make ramen..."

"All right..."

Naruto sighed and prepared to use his Reward Points to redeem a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen.

Just then, he heard a little girl scream.

"Ah..."

Pfft!

That's the sound of swords piercing flesh.

Naruto's pupils instantly contracted into dangerous needle-like shapes.

His body works faster than his mind.

When he came to his senses, he had already rushed out of the foodfoo restaurant.

Monkey D. Luffy was also standing beside him.

This scene made Naruto somewhat accept Luffy's identity as captain.

"What's wrong?"

Koby caught up with the two of them, panting heavily. His short pink hair fluttered in the wind, making him look extremely disheveled.

He looked up and saw a man wearing a green headscarf, with a long knife in his mouth and two sharp blades in his hands.

The man was standing in front of a little girl, with slightly warm blood dripping from the blade.

Not far away, a Garou lay on the ground, its eyes white, clearly dead.

"Three Sword Style, Roronoa Zoro!"

Someone recognized the man and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"How dare you kill my pet!"

The Garou's master, Helmeppo, appeared before everyone.

His face was contorted in a grimace. "Do you want to die?"

Zoro glanced at him indifferently. "Your pet is about to attack this little girl, so I have to intervene."

Which is more important, a human life or a pet's?

This is a topic heavily influenced by subjective factors.

At least Zoro believed that the Garou, who wanted to hurt people, deserved to die.

Do you know who I am?

Helmeppo stared at Zoro, sneered, and gave him an Upper Class look. "I am the son of Navy Colonel Morgan..."

"You killed my pet, you must pay the price!"

"How about this... one month! I'll lock you up and not let you eat or drink for a month. If you survive, I'll let you go!"

Despite saying this, Helmeppo was thinking of killing Zoro once he was exhausted.

A simple little scheme, yet very effective.

"A month... not a bad test."

Zoro frowned, seemingly pondering the question, or perhaps simply lost in thought.

After undergoing rigorous training, the people in the Pirate World possess an extremely tenacious vitality, completely different from the laws of the Non-Magical Earth plane.

On Non-Magical Earth, a person would die of thirst if they didn't drink water for three days.

But here, a person who is starving can even eat themselves to prolong their life and survive.

Science and logic are by no means the main themes in the Pirate Plane.

"I accept this challenge, you..."

"No!"

Zoro was interrupted by Luffy before he could finish speaking.

A strong wind swept in.

Luffy held his Straw Hat down with one hand and slowly walked over to Helmeppo.

He pointed at Zoro and said, enunciating each word clearly, "This guy is a crew member I've reserved; you can't take him away."

"You bastard!"

Helmeppo's eye twitched, and he said arrogantly, "I am Captain Morgan's son! How dare you speak to me like that!"

Just then, Youyou voice reached my ears.

Do you know who this Straw Hat Kid in front of you is?
