## One Piece Chapter 3, pages 18-19: CHAPTER 3: ENTER ZOLO-PIRATE HUNTER - Chapter: 3 - Pages: 18-19 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Koby, Rika, Helmeppo, townspeople ### Summary Page 18: Back in town, Luffy tells the little girl, "Yeah! He ate it all up!" She beams, "Really!? I'm so glad!" Koby wonders, "Could that guy really be as bad as everyone says? He's not a bad guy!" The girl explains, "Everybody in town is afraid of him... But he hasn't done anything wrong! He got thrown into prison 'cause of me. Captain Morgan's son had a bunch of mean dogs! They attacked me... Roronoa Zolo saved me! Besides, those dogs were running loose and scaring everybody in town!" Luffy realizes, "That's why Zolo is in prison... Because he hurt that guy's dog to save you?" The girl nods, "Yes!" Koby adds, "That makes sense! Zolo's really scary, but he only goes after people with a price on their heads. And he wouldn't get thrown into prison for that!" Page 19: The girl continues, "Captain Morgan and his son are the bad ones!" She explains that they put people to death for no reason at all and that everyone in town is afraid of them. Nearby, Helmeppo struts through the street while townspeople bow in fear. He laughs, "Ha ha ha! You're not bowing your heads low enough, scum! I'll tell my father on all of you!! Do you want to be jailed like Roronoa Zolo!? We're going to hold a public execution for him in three days!! We'll make an example of him! I can hardly wait!" Luffy steps forward, "Three days? But... you made a promise to him!?" Helmeppo looks surprised, "What? Where did you hear about that? That promise was just a joke!! He's just a stupid beast for believing it!!" A flashback shows Zoro saying, "Captain Morgan's idiot son promised me. All I've got to do is survive here for one month."
