Luffy, Koby, restaurant patrons, Roronoa Zoro, Rika, Helmeppo, Marines, Marine, townspeople ### Summary Page 0: Luffy and Koby are sailing in a small boat. Koby talks about Roronoa Zolo, calling him a "demonic beast" and "Zolo the Pirate Hunter." He describes Zolo as a bloodthirsty hound hunting men for bounties, a demon in human form. Luffy ponders this, saying he hasn't decided whether to invite Zolo to join his crew. He adds that if Zolo is a good guy, he will. Koby frantically points out that Zolo is a pirate hunter and they don't mix with pirates, adding that Zolo is in prison because he's not a good guy.

The chapter title reads "CHAPTER 3: ENTER ZOLO: PIRATE HUNTER". Page 2: Luffy and Koby arrive at a bustling town with a large Marine base in the background. Luffy cheers, "Yeah! We finally made it! We're finally here! We made it to the Naval Base town." He then praises Koby, "Koby, you're amazing! You actually got us to our destination!" Koby, looking proud, replies, "Of course I did! That's the minimum requirement for people who sail the seas." He advises Luffy that if he keeps randomly floating around, he'll never become a pirate, and suggests finding a navigator. Luffy agrees enthusiastically, "Yeah!! That's what I'll do!! Now, let's eat!!" Page 3: Luffy and Koby are sitting at a table in a restaurant called "Food Foo". Luffy says, "Well, Koby, I guess this is where we go our separate ways. I hope you join the Navy and become a great sailor!" Koby tears up and replies, "Th-thank you, Luffy! And I hope you become a great pirate!...Even if that means we'll be enemies." Luffy then casually mentions, "Hey, I just remembered... That guy is supposed to be imprisoned here-- Roronoa Zolo..." At the mention of the name, the entire restaurant erupts in panic. Patrons drop their food and drinks with a loud "KRASH!!!", trembling in fear. Koby whispers to Luffy, "Maybe you shouldn't say that name out loud around here..." Luffy looks confused, saying "Hmmm..." Page 4: Outside the restaurant, Koby mentions, "I saw a poster that said that Captain Morgan is at this base." Immediately, another loud crash comes from inside the restaurant as people panic again. Luffy laughs, "Wow!! Ha ha ha! What a great restaurant! I want to go back there again!" Koby is worried, saying everyone is jumpy and he's getting a bad feeling. He reasons, "I can understand why they get nervous when they hear Roronoa Zolo's name-- He might escape at any moment! But why did they get nervous hearing the Captain's name?" Luffy dismisses it, "Who knows!? Maybe they just got carried away!" Koby, frustrated, yells, "Why would that happen!? I'm trying to think seriously here..." Page 5: They stand before the massive gates of the Navy Base. Koby marvels, "It looks so big up close!" Luffy encourages him, "Go on in, Koby!" but Koby hesitates, "B-but I haven't mentally prepared myself yet... And those people sure were scared when they heard the Captain's name..." Meanwhile, Luffy climbs up the brick wall next to the gate. Koby asks, "Luffy! What're you doing!?" Luffy peers over the wall, saying, "I wonder if I can see......the demonic beast from here." Page 6: Koby tells Luffy, "You won't find him just by peeking over the fence. He's probably deep within the bowels of the prison..." Luffy replies, "Oh yeah? Well there's somebody over there! Maybe it's Zolo!" Koby gulps and climbs up to look. A dark silhouette of a man tied to a cross is shown. Koby spots him and panics, "There he is!... What's wrong!? A b-black bandanna and a haramaki sash!!! I-it's really him! That's Roronoa Zolo!!! He looks so... menacing!!!" Page 7: A full view reveals Roronoa Zoro tied to a wooden cross in the middle of a dirt courtyard. He wears a white shirt, dark pants, a green haramaki sash, and a black bandanna. His head hangs down. Luffy, watching from the wall, says, "So that's him. Hmm! I could just untie those ropes and set him free..." Page 8: Koby screams in terror, "That's suicide!! If you let him loose, he'll kill us then wreck the town!!" Suddenly, Zoro lifts his head, revealing a fierce grin, and calls out, "Hey, kid!" Koby is shocked. Zoro continues, "Come over here......and untie me... I've been here for nine days and I can't take anymore." Luffy notes, "Hey! He's smiling!" while Koby stammers, "H-he's talking to us!!" Zoro offers a deal: "I'll make it worth your while. I'll capture someone with a big price on their head and give all of the bounty to you. You can trust me. I'm a man of my word." Page 9: Koby pleads, "D-don't do it, Luffy! As soon as you untie him, he'll kill us and get away! I just know it!" Luffy confidently replies, "He won't kill us. He couldn't. I wouldn't l...
