Last Time:

Luffy and the trio arrived at an island and went to a nearby small city named 'Shells Town'.

As they explore the marketplace they discover that Zoro is being held at the Marine Base.

As they arrived at the front gate of the Marine Base,Zoro is being tied up on logs that was in a form of a cross.

Suddenly a girl climbs up the wall and confronts the supposed demon in a human form,
[RORONOA ZORO].

Offering him an awfully sweet rice balls handmade by her,However Zoro declined as a couple of marines marched into the yard.

One marine in the middle was the supposed son of the Axe-hand Morgan who everyone is fearful of.

The son was named Helmeppo,he stole the little girl rice balls and insults her cooking for using sugar instead of the salt.

After being thrown over the wall and before Luffy could save her ,Traveler was faster than him and ended up saving her from being thrown harshly.

Now that brings us to where our Protagonist and Luffy is right now.

(Oh yeah Traveler follow Luffy because two things,firstly He was curious. Secondly He didn't want Luffy to cause any big chaos judging by how he is.)

After saving a little girl that was thrown over the wall,Coby and Paimon continues to inspect the little girl for injuries.

"How can he be so cruel!" Coby said
"Yeah! Traveler-" Paimon agrees with Coby before turning back to speak with Traveler but stop when she didn't see her travelling companion anywhere.

Paimon look around and frantically exclaimed,"Traveler?!" Coby who heard that stood up "Huh?! Luffy-san is also gone!" Coby yelled in panic.

• The courtyard •

Zoro tilts His head up right as the bandana covering his head showed his eyes.A few feet Infront of him stood Luffy,standing seemingly fearless.

"I hear you're a bad guy." Luffy said with a smile.

Zoro scoffed as he coldly said.
"Why are you guys still here?"

After hearing Zoro said 'guys' Luffy look at him in confusion before turning around in suprise to see Traveler there behind him.

"Braidy,your here?" Luffy asked as he blink blankly.
Traveler walk towards him as he whisper,"I was curious." Traveler smiled tiredly as he move away from Luffy ears.

Zoro stared at Traveler oddly designed yet unique clothes.He blushes slightly after glancing at Traveler revealing waist.
'what kind of clothes is he wearing?!'

Luffy smiled as he nodded in understanding,He walked closer towards Zoro leaving Traveler behind him who was observing what was gonna happening.

"Being stuck out here for all to see..are you really strong at all?" Luffy asked in a rude tone.

"Mind you're business!" Zoro was quick to resorted back.

All the straw hat guy did was hum and walk towards him.
