East Blue, Higashi (East) Island is also called the Little East because its shape looks much like the East Blue.

It is a beautiful island with many beautiful sceneries and small towns littering the mountainsides.

Making it a magical experience for those who like a little adventure while still being in the safe hands of the Marines.

Who has made their base in Higashi's Main Port City, Tradeham Port.

It is one of the most important ports in the East. Where Many sea merchants and bounty hunters come and go from here, making it a bustling port.

In front of the 93rd Marine base, a man came out of it, he had green hair and three swords on his waist, and he looked a little starved and tired. The swordsmen looked around, thinking about what to do now.

This man is Zoro. He had just arrived here, and after stepping on the land, he immediately went to the marine base to hand in the captured pirate and get their bounty.

'Now, where is the bar?' Zoro thought. He looked around the market and asked some of the folk who lived there. They were a little surprised that he wanted to go to the bar this early in the morning. Still, they pointed him in its direction anyway.

He ignored their looks and walked away. His food and beer supplies finished four days ago, and while in the sea, he had supplies for one week and a half before he sailed, and the journey should have lasted five days. But on the first day on the sea, he lost his way because of a storm and had to spend more than three weeks out there until he found a kind 'pirate crew' that showed him the way here.

He walked in the direction of the port until he arrived at one of the many bars/inns in this town. Zoro went and opened the door and looked around, he found that the bar was a little empty, with only 3 or 4 people if you count the bar owner, and the other three looked like bounty hunters.

"Welcome sir. What would you like?" The owner raised his head and looked at the door, where he saw a man walk in as he was serving the three bounty hunters some drinks.

"Give me the best Sake or Beer you have! and some food," Zoro said while walking towards the table in the corner. It gave him the best view of everyone in the bar.

"Is that all, sir?" After the bar owner finished serving the three men, he came toward Zoro's table. Zoro nodded, and the owner went back to the kitchen.

'The money I got will only last for a maximum of 3-week' Zoro thought. Today he checked for the biggest bounty in this area, which was the 7 million bounty for 'Suffolk Godfrey The Cold Hearted,' the captain of the ghost pirates.

'It will be hard to find the Ghost Pirates; the last time they were spotted was five days ago when they attacked Kinoko(Mushroom) Island and left no clue where they might be heading to… If I had arrived a little earlier, I might have been able to capture them. Still, there is no clue where they might be, the Marine thinks they will attack again after 2 to 3 weeks, but the Marines don't know which Island they will attack. It will be difficult to find them… it will depend on luck..' Zoro thought.

So… he might need to go back to the Marine base tomorrow and check for pirates with lower bounty or where they were frequently seen.

"Here is your order, sir" While Zoro was thinking about what to do, the owner came back with his order and placed them on the table.

"Thank you" Zoro raised his head and thanked him with a smile.

"No problem Sir, if you need anything, just call me, and before I forget, are you going to book a room with us, Sir…" the owner replied.

"Zoro, just call me Zoro and yes, I will rest here tonight," Zoro told the owner.

"Okay, which room would you-" the owner nodded his head, and when he was about to tell him the price of a room, he got interrupted.

"Just give me any clean room with a comfortable bed in it," Zoro said while taking out 10,000 berries. He then gave it to the owner.

"if you say so, sir Zoro, The room will be on the 3rd floor, and the room number is 32. if you need anything, call me. Enjoy your day Sir Zoro" The owner happily took the money, gave Zoro the key to the room, and left.

....

And like that, Zoro spent his time in the bar, relaxing after his long journey as the sun started to set and many people slowly started to come to the bar.

Some who finished their work, while others who had just arrived on the Island or the bounty hunters were celebrating their successful hunt.

And many more came here to enjoy their time or catch up with each other, making the place bustling with life and full of wonderful noise of laughter, conversing, and exclaiming.

A table near Zoro was full of people who frequently came to this bar, gossiping about everything they heard or saw in this town.

While conversing and laughing about something, a guy came toward them and said, "Hey, fellas! You would not believe what I saw just now?"

One of them looks at him and asks, "what is it, Ivan?"

"Th!.. The!!! THE GHOST PIRATES GOT CAPTURED!!!" Ivan took some deep breaths and then yelled. He came running from the port when he witnessed the news.

"…" which shocked everyone in the bar. Many were terrified of the Ghost pirates, be it sea merchants, town folk, or even some of the bounty hunters and marines.

The Ghost pirates were known as a ruthless and cold-hearted crew. They plagued and massacred many islands; one of the islands even bore a marine base, leaving no survivors in their path.

They do not care if you are a king or a noble, young or old. Even their rival pirates were not spared from them,

They didn't have a high bounty because they were smart and realized that as long they targeted islands or countries that were not part of the world government.

They would not get bounties or marines on them, except when they raided the 96 Marine base to rescue their leader.

"wh... What!! impossible!!"

"Hahahahah! at last, they got captured!!!"

"I told you that God doesn't let the sinful win for long, hahaha!"

"At last, the nightmare has ended!"

"Hahaha, Finally!!! Finally... Sob... Sob... they finally got killed…."

"Sob… MOTHER! Sob… you WILL FINALLY REST IN PEACE AHHH!!"

"Wh!! Who did it!? Who captured them!!"

"Yeah, who captured them, and are they still in the port?"

"Let's go and see!!!"

"Beer on me today, Hahaha!!!!"

"Hahaha, hooray!!"

Many started to shout in happiness, while some began to cry in enjoy and sorrow when they processed the news.

Some began to celebrate, while some finally could mourn for their dead family members and friends who died under the hands of the Ghost Pirate.

Multiple people wanted to know more. Who was the one who finally killed these vile pirates and avenged their people? So many ran to the Tradeham port.

The entire town was bustling with joy as children went out to play and their parents danced. At the same time, some shouted to the sky while some people lit fireworks to celebrate the occasion.

"So who is it, Ivan tells us" while in the bar, many people crowded around Ivan, wanting to know more.

"I'm sorry. I don't know much. I saw them walking toward the Marine base with Suffolk Godfrey's head on a stick. After seeing that, I immediately ran here" Ivan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"What?"

"Stop playing with us!"

"Give him a break, men. You heard what he said; he ran here to tell us what is happening there" When the crowd around Ivan started complaining, one of Ivan's friends stood up to defend him.

"Then don't you even know anything about them? Their looks? Who is their captain? Anything"

"What I know is that a tanned man led them, he is tall and very muscular, and they didn't look like they had many group members, at least 15 to 20" Ivan quickly told them everything he knew.

"I see. Thanks, kid," one of them said, thanking Ivan.

"Okay, let's head to the dock. There might be someone who knows more"

"Yeah, let go."

"I just wasted my time here," while some thanked Ivan, others didn't and were still rude.

"When you guys come back, tell us everything!!"

"Sure, sure"

The crowd around Ivan started dispersing, with many planning to go to the port and check what had happened while some went back to drinking.

'Looks like I'm truly late… I guess tomorrow I will need to go to the Marine…' Zoro thought while snickering at his luck.

Zoro heard what they were talking about and got interested in this tanned man who defeated the ghost pirates. It was the first time he had heard about him.

Few bounty hunters in the east blue could capture or kill a pirate above the 3 million.

Usually, they were well known, and that is for 3 million and not 7 million… the one that could defeat them can be counted on one hand.

'Interesting, it looks like we have a new member now.' While Zoro was thinking about this new bounty hunter, he didn't see the two men who entered the bar. They looked like they were searching for something or somebody.

The two men looked around until their eyes fell on the corner where the green head was sitting. Their eyes lit up, and they looked like they recognized him. They looked at each other and nodded.

Afterward, one of them went and ordered a drink and sat near the swordsmen keeping an eye on him while the other one walked out of the bar.

He then ran as fast as he could toward the dock until he arrived there. While breathing heavily, he stopped for a bit to catch his breath and then walked toward a big ship with B.W written on it.
