"Hehe, quite unique. I can just untie the rope and let him go."
Luffy was stared at by Zoro's beast-like eyes, but he grinned.
Luffy, who had been thrown into a pack of wild beasts by his unreliable grandfather Garp to train since he was a child, was very familiar with such looks.
This is the look of a wild beast.
Even such eyes are sharper than those of ferocious beasts.
Although he has never seen Zoro's strength, with such eyes, Luffy can instinctively feel that Zoro is strong.
"Bang!"
Just then, a ladder appeared, and a little girl climbed up the ladder and raised her finger cutely at Uno and Luffy.
"lie."
The little girl signaled to be careful, then jumped off the high wall and ran towards Zoro.
"Hmm? What?"
Zoro looked at the little girl running towards him; his beast-like eyes became much kinder, and although his tone was no longer cold, he was still a little impatient.
"Brother, are you hungry? I brought some rice balls."
The little girl smiled brightly, with the rice ball she had carefully wrapped placed on her chest.
"This is my first time making onigiri, but I put a lot of effort into it.
"Little devil, do you want to die? Get out of here now."
When Zoro saw the rice ball, his eyes remained completely unchanged, even though he hadn't had a drop of water for twenty days.
The coldness of words is to avoid involvement.
"Even if you don't want to implicate this little girl, there's no need to use this method."
A soft voice sounded.
"Who are you? I told you all, You are an eyesore."
Looking at Uno jumping down from the high wall, Zoro's face turned cold.
"This is the sincerity of a child. The sincerity of a child is more precious than gold."
Uno looked at the little girl, who was a little sad because Zoro didn't eat her rice balls, and touched her little head to comfort her.
Uno didn't want the affection of this cute little girl to be ruined by that scumbag Bellumeber.
"Hehe, well said, Uno."
Luffy saw Uno go down and followed.
Although he still wanted to observe what kind of person Zoro was, after all, Luffy's criteria for finding a companion were not just based on strength.
But since his partner had already decided to leave, Luffy would not just sit there and watch.
Luffy will always support his partners' decisions infinitely.
"You must be Zoro."
Luffy looked at Zoro and grinned.
"Yes, who are you?"
After hearing Uno's words, Zoro's coldness disappeared mostly, but his tone was still unfriendly.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the King of Pirates."
Luffy pointed at himself with bared teeth.
"Uno, Luffy's partner."
Uno's mouth curled up slightly.
"The Pirates King? An idiot?"
Zoro heard this and looked at Luffy with a twitching mouth.
"But Uno, do you know something? Why did Zoro say he didn't want to implicate this little girl"?
Luffy looked at Uno curiously.
"It's very simple. Judging from the attitude of the residents here towards Marine, Colonel Marine here is not a good person.
The name of 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro is very famous in East Blue. As a well-known bounty hunter, he would not be tied up here if it weren't for some reason."
Uno smiled and said, although he couldn't say that he was a time traveler and knew the plot, it was easy to reversely deduce and give a reasonable explanation based on the plot and the situation here.
Then Uno looked at the little girl.
"But you should tell me the details. Since you risked your life to deliver food, this matter should be related to you."
Uno smiled gently.
"Big brother, my name is Liga."
Liga first introduced herself politely and then told the story that had happened.
The son of Marine Colonel Monka, Bellumeber, often parades around with his so-called pet, a vicious dog.
In the restaurant where she and her mother make a living, the vicious dog attacked the customers' food, causing chaos in the restaurant. Liga mustered up the courage to stop it and was targeted by Bellemer.
However, Zoro fought back and knocked Bellemer and his vicious dog away, but Bellemer threatened to use his father's power to sentence everyone present to death.
Therefore, Zoro reached an agreement with Bellemer that if he could surrender and be tied up here for a month without food or water and survive, Reiga and the others would be saved.
Now, it has been twenty days.
"You are amazing! If I don't eat for more than three days, I will starve to death."
After listening to this, Luffy had already decided in his mind to pull Zoro onto his pirate ship.
"My perseverance is completely different from yours. I will definitely survive."
Zoro gave a determined smile.
"He was indeed a tough guy. It's a pity that he died here."
Uno admired.
In terms of perseverance, Zoro is definitely a tough guy. In the original work, Zoro took on the pain of Luffy being hit by the Meat-ball Fruit and was seriously injured, bleeding on the spot.
And in response to Sanji's questioning, he created the famous scene where he said, "Nothing happened."
"Die here? What are you talking about? I still have ten days to fulfill my promise. I will definitely survive."
Zoro thought Uno was saying that he couldn't make it through the last ten days, and his tone turned cold.
"I'm not questioning whether you can survive, but do you really think that scum who relies on his father's power to bully the people will keep his promise to you?"
Uno, said lightly.
"Hahaha! He's right!"
At this moment, a disgusting laugh was heard.
A young man, obviously dressed like a second-generation rich person, walked towards this side, accompanied by two marines.
"Bellemer."
Zoro seemed to understand something, and his eyes became unusually cold.
"I was going to tell you tomorrow when I execute you. Since someone has already guessed it, it doesn't matter if I execute you today."
Bellemer looked at Zoro and laughed.
"You bastard."
Zoro's eye twitched slightly.
"Hahaha, the famous 'Pirate Hunter' died in my hands. My name, Bellemer, will surely spread across the sea, hahaha."
Bellemer laughed arrogantly.
"Swoosh! Bang!"
As Bellemer laughed arrogantly, an outstretched fist hit his disgusting face and sent him flying.
"This scumbag."
Luffy retracted his rubberized arm and looked coldly at Bellemer, who was blown away.
"You, who are you?!"
Zoro was stunned as he saw this movement, which was totally incapable of being performed by a human.
"Luffy is a rubber man who ate the Rubber Fruit."
Uno smiled faintly.
