Time passed by second by second.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Luo could finally see the outline of Shells Town.
"Is this Shells Town??"
Bai Luo stood at the bow of the ship, letting out a sigh.
Although he had heard of it, he had always been active in the New World before.
So he had never been here.
Now, with reality and the scene in his memory suddenly overlapping, Bai Luo was naturally overjoyed.
"Finally, we've reached Shells Town. I'm one step closer to my dream."
Koby, who was beside Bai Luo, also let out a sigh.
His dream was to become a Marine, and now seeing the Marine branch so close.
He was naturally filled with emotion.
Shells Town was where Marine 153 Branch was stationed.
As for its highest leader, that was navy captain Morgan.
Speaking of which, before Morgan came to this small town, it was a peaceful scene.
But now, due to a series of tyrannical policies implemented by the drastically changed Morgan, over time...
The originally peaceful town was turned into a mess by him.
Why say he drastically changed?
Because when Morgan was still an ordinary Marine Soldier, he upheld the justice in his heart.
Even when his entire Marine fleet was wiped out by the Pirate Crew known as Kuro of a Hundred Plans, he did not succumb to them.
Precisely because of this, Morgan was noticed by Kuro.
Becoming an important chess piece in his plan to feign death.
After Morgan brought the fake Kuro to Naval Headquarters, he was also promoted because of it.
Becoming the navy captain of the 153 Branch.
But perhaps it was because he became too arrogant.
After becoming a navy captain and the actual commander of the 153 Marine Branch.
Morgan suddenly underwent a drastic personality change.
No one dared to defy his will, otherwise, they would surely pay a heavy price.
Therefore, the residents of Shells Town, whenever they saw Marine Soldiers...
Were all as silent as cicadas in winter.
Their reaction was even greater than when they saw pirates.
Because Morgan had absolute authority in Shells Town, his son Helmeppo also ran rampant in Shells Town.
Leaving behind an extremely bad reputation.
The Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, whom Luffy is now looking for, clashed with Helmeppo.
That's why he was captured by the Marine and tied to the cross specifically used for executing criminals.
"So, Captain, the person you're looking for is currently inside the Marine branch."
Bai Luo said slowly, word by word.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Bai Luo.
They didn't know where Bai Luo got this information.
But seeing Bai Luo's extremely confident demeanor, they naturally had no doubts.
"If that's the case, let's go to the Marine branch and rescue Zoro!"
Luffy immediately swung his rubber fists, stating his plan.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're not kidding, are you??"
Nami looked at Luffy's eager expression and asked tentatively.
"Of course not, do I look like I'm kidding??"
Luffy looked at Nami, a bit bewildered.
"That's a Marine branch!"
"Besides, the person you're looking for is Pirate Hunter Zoro!"
