"You can't give this child back to you, and... why should I kill you?"
Saitama blinked in confusion: "Killing is the bottom line. Only villains who take the lives of innocent people need to use their own lives to repay. A hero will not show mercy to a guy who is no different from a weirdo... When you first cut me, you probably used the back of the knife, that way you wouldn't be guilty of death."
"Is it… "
Zoro took two weak breaths and forced a smile: "You don't seem to be the same as the navy here... In other words, you won't kill the guy wearing the straw hat on your shoulder, right?"
"I can't do it anymore..."
Saitama waved his hands with vacant eyes: "But his grandfather may not simply let him go..."
grandfather
Zoro was stunned and realized that he seemed to have done something unnecessary.
This naval officer should know Luffy, which means that at least Luffy's life safety does not need to worry.
Thinking of this, Zoro finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are very strong...so strong that it almost makes people despair..."
After feeling relieved, Zoro began to carefully look at the seemingly harmless bald head in front of him: "I never thought that I would lose one day, and the gap between the two sides would be so big... Can I know your name? ,navy?"
"Ah, of course."
Saitama casually tapped himself with his index finger: "My name is Saitama, and I am a hero driven by interest."
Tatsuki also rushed over at this time and stayed by Saitama's side: "Commodore Saitama is the strongest navy guarding the East China Sea and the strongest force for justice! Roronoa, you should not attack Mr. Saitama!"
"Brigadier..."
Zoro laughed at himself, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his body gradually fell down: "If you want to be the number one in the world... do you still have to... defeat so many monsters..."
After hearing this, Dasqi waved her hands slightly: "Ah, no, the only one who is particularly strong among the brigadiers is Mr. Saitama..." Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Zoro had already passed out and did not hear the rest of the content at all.
…
What happens next is much simpler.
Mengka was tied up and detained on Saitama's warship, and was sent to the headquarters military court for trial by Taschi.
The unconscious Luffy and the seriously injured Zoro stayed in the town.
Saitama has already contacted Garp. He will arrive here in a few days and let Luffy taste the iron fist of long-lost love.
Navy Branch 153 is continued to be managed by the lieutenant and everything is back on track.
Garp's warship is expected to arrive here in three days. Originally, Saitama was planning to hand over Luffy to Garp himself.
But things are unpredictable. Just one day later, Branch 153 received a letter asking for help from a small town...
in hospital
"Bucky the Clown?"
While Saitama was dragging Luffy, who was struggling to escape after learning that his grandfather was coming, he took the wanted notice sent by the base lieutenant and looked at it: "Well... the reward is 15 million, it is indeed not something you can deal with. Role… "
"exactly."
The lieutenant lowered his head in disappointment: "I'm ashamed to say that although we have justice in our hearts, our strength is still insufficient after all. We are completely powerless to deal with those pirates with bounties worth tens of millions. However, the people are being persecuted, and eradicating the evil cannot be delayed, so We have the shamelessness to ask Mr. Brigadier for help..."
"Ah, no need to be so polite."
Saitama waved his hand casually, and knocked Luffy unconscious with another hand knife: "In this case, I will go out now, but you should keep an eye on this child and the swordsman who is still unconscious on the bed next door. About In two days, Lieutenant General Garp will come here to take them away, but please do not let them escape during this period."
The lieutenant quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! In the name of justice!"
After explaining everything, Saitama set out on his journey again.
However, because Branch 153 is just a small base, it does not have any lavish warships. If it wants to go to sea, it only has a civilian merchant ship with a navy logo.
After arranging several sailors and navigators, the navy ship left the dock.
The lieutenant who watched Saitama leave waited until the shadow of the ship had completely disappeared on the sea level, then he gathered up the team and left, preparing to go to the hospital to bring the unconscious Luffy back to the naval base to control him.
After all, the navy has seen his skills. If he continues to be in the hospital, no one can stop him when he wakes up.
But…
"well!?"
The lieutenant returned to the ward and looked at the knocked unconscious navy soldier on the ground and the two empty hospital beds. His eyes almost popped out of his head: "How come that straw hat boy and pirate hunter Zoro are all missing!?"
Oops... too bad!
I just made a promise to the brigadier general, but in less than half an hour he was lost!
This is how to do
We must find them out as soon as possible!
So the lieutenant immediately shouted to the naval soldiers behind him: "All soldiers, listen, go to the town immediately and find these two!"
"yes!!!"
Listening to the soldiers' resounding response, the lieutenant felt unsure at all.
It's been half an hour, maybe they've already gone to sea! Looking for it now is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
at the same time
On a certain path in the town, Zoro was running away quickly with the unconscious Luffy on his back...
Seeing one branch after another appearing in front of him, Zoro ran for half an hour based on his intuition, and finally rushed straight into the 153rd Marine Branch Base...
…
seaport town
Cries and screams were endless.
As scenes of human tragedy occurred, the pirates' rampant laughter echoed over the town.
"Little ones, hold on tight!"
In the town square, hundreds of pirates surrounded their leader, the pirate "Red-Nosed Bucky", like stars over the moon.
The ground was covered with jewelry and banknotes looted from the town.
"It's really annoying. It's such a big town, but it only has this little money..."
Bucky, wearing a fluffy cloak, sat there with his feet raised in dissatisfaction: "Originally, I had some expectations, but I didn't expect that they were all poor people... In this case, after all the treasures have been plundered, we can use Let's vent our anger by blowing up the town with artillery shells..."
Thousands of lives were so insignificant in his mouth.
He said such terrible and despairing words without any psychological burden.
The blood on the knife has not dried yet.
The pirate gangsters cheered excitedly, as happy and lively as attending a temple fair...
"Long live Captain Bucky!!!"
…
This is the bloody reality of the great pirate era.
No matter what the reason is, Roger, the Pirate King who started this evil era, is unforgivable and deserves to die.
The so-called freedom and dreams of pirates are based on the blood and bones of countless civilians.
He was always on tenterhooks every day, fearing that one day he would die under the butcher's knife of a pirate.
In such a dark era.
People are eager to…
The hero appears!
