"What a great weather!"

The gentle waves of the ocean's blue water crashed to the small boat the three of you are currently on, watching for any Island near, seagulls flying around the sky in circle

"When will we finally arrive at land, Koby?" You asked, a bored tone laced your words 

"If we keep going this way, we should see the navy base Island soon!" Koby added, making Luffy glance at him 

"Wow, Koby! You're amazing! We're actually gonna reach our destination?" Luffy complemented making Koby replied confidently "But of course! These are the bare minimum skills all sailors need!"

Luffy, who was sitting on the boat's head lifted his arms in the sky, laughing as the wind blew at his face, and Koby who fixed his glasses, sweatdropping at Luffy

"This is no time to be laughing, Luffy-san. He's being held prisoner there" Koby warned, you and Luffy turn your head at Koby as he continued "The famous pirate hunter... Roronoa Zoro! The man who's chopped up bounties like a bloodthirsty beast... people say he's a demon in human form!"

"A demon in human form?... I believe I had seen much worse."

"We made it! The navy base city!"

Luffy loudly said in happiness, meanwhile you jumped down the ground, stretching yourself in relief "I can't wait to meet this 'Demon in Human Form' today"

You, Koby, and Luffy walked, looking around, walking towards the navy base, while trying to stop yourself from taking interest in small things you see around, ignoring people's stare at your figure

"Seriously, Luffy-san! You're crazy to want him to join you!" Koby said in disbelief while Luffy answered "I still haven't decided yet. I just wanna see it he's a good guy..."

"He's been caught because he's a bad guy!" Koby yelled which Luffy ignored, picking up a fruit and biting it "Mm! Yum!"

Luffy handed the woman a coin "Do you know if Zoro's at the base?"

Hearing the word 'Zoro', the people around backed away in shock an fear, making the three of you stop and look at them in confusion 

"It would seem the name 'Zoro' is taboo here..."

"We'll just get to the base, I don't think we should ask here... we might get suspected by a navy if they hear us"

Luffy nodded, the three of you started walking again at the navy base's direction "You're gonna be a marine, right?"

"Y-Yes... but I'm not really ready yet. Rumors has it... a guy named Captain Morgan is at this base, and..."

Just the same as they heard the name 'Zoro', they all backed away nervously in fear. Luffy continued walking laughing, you following him, scanning the people who were still away from you three, meanwhile Luffy said in with a laugh "What a funny town!"

"It's strange... I understand Zoro, but why are they afraid of a navy captain's name?" Koby nervously said, walking beside you and Luffy
