Roronoa Zoro

The next morning, the Shells town dock welcomed a small boat with three people on board. Two young men jumped to the shore as soon as the boat reached the pier. One is wearing a straw hat, red sleeveless shirt, blue 3/4, and sandals with a toothy grin shouting, "Finally, we are on the land."

Standing next to him is a handsome young man with silver hair and green eyes sporting navy blue pants and a white shirt. He is smiling, which looks like he is teasing someone. "Yup, we are here."

Finally, a pink-haired spectacle-wearing guy tied the boat to the shore and said loudly, "Why are you guys jumping like that? It almost made the boat overturn."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA" is the only reply he got from the previous duo.

Our characters finally reached Shells town.

The three marched towards the town. There were many shops across the road. Loki observed everything with slight curiosity. For him, everything is a new experience.

"So, where do you think Zoro will be," Luffy asked Coby. As soon as the people heard the word Zoro, everyone reacted comically.

"He will be in the marine base, obviously. I heard Captain Morgan of the 153rd naval base is really powerful." Coby replied to that question. Similar to what happened, people around them reacted exactly like before.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA," Luffy laughed at it and said, "They are Funny."

Loki nodded, 'This exaggerated reaction was amusing to look at. I never thought this kind of thing was even possible. Hehehe, it's really interesting.'

Coby saw the scene and thought of what Loki said yesterday.

"Will the marines be bad Loki-san said? Otherwise, how can these people react like this hearing Captain Morgan's name.' Coby thought sadly.

"Let's, go and see the base. Maybe Zoro will be there." Luffy said and walked towards the marine building.

"Luffy san, even if we reach the base, Zoro will be locked up in a cell inside the marine base," Coby replied by rubbing his head, thinking how can Luffy think Zoro will be on the outside.

While making this kind of talk, they reached the base. They run to the side of the wall. Both Luffy and Loki easily jumped on the wall. With the help of some boxes, Coby slowly stood and saw inside.

"He is there," Luffy shouted.

"He is really here. Three rings on his ear, a green waist bang, and a bandana on his head. He is really Zoro." Said Coby in a slow voice.

Loki frowned a little and said, looking at the man tied to the cross, "He looks starved, dehydrated, and beaten."

"You three, shut up. You are annoying." Zoro said, looking at the three menacingly. He didn't want to implicate these three in his worries. Coby was a little frightened at his gaze, but others had no reactions. Luffy was even grinning.

At that time, a little girl came up the wall with the help of a ladder and looked at the three "SHHHHH" expressed them to be silent. And she nimbly runs to Zoro to provide rice balls that she prepared.

While she was talking to Zoro, the blond-haired little villain Helmeppo came with two marines.

Like a small-time villain, he did his role of insulting Zoro and tarnishing the rice ball the little girl made. And asked to marines to toss out the girl outside. The marine was startled and didn't do it.

"Do you want me to tell my father, Morgan, you disobey his orders?" Helmeppo berated the marine.

The marine gritted his teeth, apologized to the kid in a slow voice, and tossed her out.

Loki knew what would happen and was ready as soon as he saw Helmeppo come. He reacted fast and caught the girl before Luffy.

"Nice, Loki." Grinned Luffy.

Loki nodded, looked at the kid in his arms, and asked. "Are you okay, kid?"

She nodded at her. Coby, who watched everything, murmured, "Did Zoro a bad guy?"

"No, Zoro san is a very kind person." Shouted the little girl.

While the little girl Rika explains the story of what happened, how everything happened because Zoro saved her Helmeppo pet wolf from biting her and threatened to kill her family if Zoro didn't surrender himself. And the bet between Zoro and Helmeppo.

Luffy ran to Zoro, while Loki took the Rika to her restaurant named Food foo.

"Bring Luffy to that restaurant Coby." He instructed Coby and walked with Rika, making Coby wait there with lots of thoughts.

"I would have escaped in a week if I was tied," grinned Luffy at Zoro.

Zoro was not amused by this idiot and growled, "Go away."

While Luffy was returning, Zoro stopped him "can you get that rice ball for me."

"Are you going to eat this? That guy trampled it."

"Shut up and give it to me."

After eating the dirtied rice ball with difficulty, Zoro asked Luffy to thank Rika for her.

Luffy grinned, replied, "You are a nice guy," and ran away. With Coby leading, they reached the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Ririka was thanking Loki for saving the child. Ririka is a woman of average height and weight. She has brown hair that is tied back. She wore a light green dress over a dark green shirt. She looked like she was in her thirties.

"Beautiful oneesan, it didn't take much effort, so you don't need to worry. Do you know any place where I can take a bath? You know we just came from the sea." Responded Loki with ever presenting smile on his face.

Ririka blushed, looking at the smiling youngster in front of her. Well, a handsome young man called her beautiful sister made her a little happy. She didn't have any improper thoughts, just happy that someone that young was calling her big sister.

If Loki called her aunty, then her reaction would be different.

"You can use our bath. It's upstairs," replied Ririka happily.

They're staying upstairs. Ririka asked Rika to guide him to the bathroom as she needed to provide service for the customers.

"Thank you, Oneesan," said Loki and went upstairs while Rika guided him.

After that, she came back and looked at her mom, tilted her head to the side, and asked, "Mommy, why are you looking at the stairs and smiling."

Ririka was startled at first. "Nothing. And you naughty girl, don't make too many problems to me again," responded sternly.

Luffy and Coby came to the restaurant, finding that Loki had gone to bathe.

Well, Luffy asked for food as soon as he sat near the counter since they are her child's benefactors Ririka also happy to serve food to them.
