YEAH!" Luffy cheered, "Now we're Nakama!" Roronoa Zoro had just agreed to join Luffy's pirate crew. Now there were three of them. Luffy stood beside Zoro, who was still tied up and did a celebratory jig.
"Okay now hurry up and cut these ropes," said Zoro, who didn't want Luffy to get distracted.
"What is he?" asked one of the marines, "Bullets bounce right off of him!"
"He's no ordinary human," said Captain Morgan. "He must have eaten one of the 'Devil Fruit'!"
"He ate one of the ocean's secret treasures?" questioned a marine. "His special ability is because of this fruit!"
"Captain, he's untying Zoro's ropes!" another marine pointed out.
"Well, stop him you fools! If bullets don't work, use your swords to kill him!" The marines followed the order and drew their swords and then charged.
"Damn, this knot is tough," Luffy complained, he was having a hard time getting the knot holding Zoro's arm.
"C'mon hurry up!" Zoro yelled, who could see the charging marines. Meanwhile Coby had just woken up.
"I think I just made it tighter now," said Luffy as he continued struggling with the knot.
"We don't have time for this!" Zoro snapped.
"Luffy, Zoro, watch out!" Coby yelled as something suddenly ran by him.
"Luffy, move," Y/N instructed as he ran over. He was no longer wearing the marine uniform and quickly drew his curved red blade and cut the ropes on one of Zoro's arms.
"Quick, give me my swords!" Zoro ordered. Luffy handed Zoro his three swords as the marines started closing in. No one noticed Y/N cutting himself with his sword and the blood mysteriously being absorbed by the red blade before he slid it back into the sheath.
"ANOTHER ONE!" Captain Morgan yelled when he noticed Y/N. "THOSE WHO OPPOSE ME MUST DIE! KILL THEM ALL!"
KLANG! Y/N had cut Zoro free and now the Pirate Hunter was using his three swords to hold back eight marines.
"WHAT THE..." Morgan roared.
"Wow, cool!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Hm," said Y/N with thinly veiled interest.
"The next one who moves dies!" said Zoro as he continued holding back the intimidated marines.
"Alright, I'm a pirate," Zoro resolved. "I gave you my word, and I never go back on my word. But hear this, I still have a mission to fulfill. I'm going to become the World's Greatest Swordsman! All I have left is my destiny. My name may be infamous, but it is going to shake the world! And if any of you do something that gets in the way of my goals, you'll find yourselves at the business end of my swords."
"The World's Greatest Swordsman," said Luffy with a smile, "that's great. And it's fitting since your new Captain is going to be King of the Pirates. Anything else would make me look bad."
"You talk big," Zoro commented while still holding back all the marines.
"We can back it up," said Y/N. "I'm gonna be the Ultimate Treasure Hunter when I find the Ultimate Treasure: One Piece."
"What are you standing around for?" Morgan demanded, "Hurry up and kill them!"
"Zoro, duck," Luffy ordered as he moved his foot back. "GUM... GUM... WHIP!" SWOOOINNNG! As Luffy whipped his leg around it stretched out passed the marines SWAK! Luffy's rubber leg slammed into the marines and sent them flying.
"Wow, incredible!" Coby gasped.
"What the devil are you?" Zoro asked as he turned to Luffy.
"I'm a rubber man!" Luffy answered.
