Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Ughhhhh..."

Zoro stared in utter shock, his mouth agape, only able to utter a series of "ah" sounds.

He stared at Luffy in disbelief, his mind reeling.

Just how strong is this guy?!

A single kick could cause the entire massive naval base to react like an earthquake.

After Luffy kicked him, he stood still and waited.

Soon, a steady stream of naval personnel began to emerge from the naval base.

Even Monca and his son Berumebo couldn't sit still and came to check on the situation.

In just two minutes.

Luffy was surrounded by hundreds of Marines with guns pointed at him.

Zoro was dumbfounded by this outrageous scene.

Nami and Coby, who were peeking over the wall, were also stunned.

Nami secretly wept.

"This guy is too impulsive! He's attracted all the marines here."

Uta, who was standing to the side, spoke up at this moment.

"Luffy wasn't acting impulsively!"

"Instead, he's too strong! The people here aren't worth his caution."

"Huh?!" Nami and Koby turned their heads in unison upon hearing this, letting out a soft exclamation.

Inside the walled area.

Zoro was also frightened by Luffy's reckless behavior, but upon seeing the overwhelming force of the Marines, he roared.

"You must run! I've already been sentenced to death by them."

"You don't have to die because of me."

Luffy remained unfazed by the Navy's encirclement, instead focusing on Zoro and speaking earnestly.

"If you can take care of them, then become my partner!"

At that moment, Zoro was stunned.

He was deeply attracted by Luffy's extremely confident demeanor.

To remain calm and composed even when Mount Tai collapses before you—that takes immense courage!

At this moment, Zoro, who had been worried about Luffy, suddenly calmed down.

How could someone with such confidence and courage possibly lose?

Zoro suddenly laughed, letting out a powerful sound.

"oh!!!".

Chapter Eighteen: The Transmission of Comprehension

Upon hearing that Zoro had agreed to join the crew, Luffy's lips curled into a slight smile.

Sure enough, as long as you demonstrate great strength and sincerity in front of Zoro, you can gain his appreciation and favor.

But right now...

Luffy turned around and faced all the Marines.

We need to deal with these small fry first.

"Hey! Who are you? Did you make that noise just now?"

"Hurry up and surrender!"

A navy officer shouted, his voice trembling slightly.

The commotion just now was so huge, it was like an earthquake.

If it really was this guy who caused this, could they really beat him?

As soon as the naval officer finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

Through the shadow in front of him, one could see that a tall figure had appeared on top of his original shadow, holding a huge axe.

Upon seeing the shadow, the navy officer was immediately startled, trembling uncontrollably as if struck by lightning.

Then he heard a deep, angry voice behind him.

Why do you feel afraid when you're trying to get the enemy to surrender?

"Are you insulting the reputation of [Axeman] Monka?"

"I don't need cowardly soldiers like you under my command!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the navy man saw the shadow in front of him raise the giant axe in his hand and make a chopping motion.

The navy officer was so frightened that he closed his eyes.

Long-term oppression has made them forget how to resist.

In this situation, one simply waits quietly for death to come.

All the surrounding navy personnel could not bear to look at this scene; they were filled with grief and indignation, yet remained unmoved.

Colonel Monka is too strong!

Anyone who dares to anger him will only face death.

This is the sentiment of all naval personnel.

Therefore, faced with this situation, they can only turn a blind eye.

"What is that naval captain going to do?"

"Isn't that their companion?"

"What exactly is going on with this navy?"

The three people perched on the wall were also puzzled by what they saw.

"What a pedantic army!"

Zoro couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, Luffy suddenly swung out his right hand.

The rubber-like outstretched arm reached Monka's eyes in an instant.

Before he could react, Luffy grabbed him by the neck and flung him over.

This sudden turn of events completely stunned everyone present.

Zoro was once again shocked, his mouth agape in astonishment.

"You...you are the legendary child of the devil?"

He had only heard of a fruit on the sea that could turn a person into a child of a demon, but this was the first time he had ever seen it.

On the navy's side.

"What...what's wrong with that guy?"

Why did my arms get so long?

"Such amazing strength and speed, he grabbed Colonel Monca in an instant."

"What are you idiots doing? That guy kidnapped my dad! Shoot him and save him!"

When the Marines were amazed by Luffy's abilities, Helmeppo was the first to react and wanted to save Morgan.

Immediately, all the naval personnel fell silent.

But to Bellumber's surprise, these naval forces did not take action for a long time.

Instead, they looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation and expectation.

These sailors genuinely wanted Monca's rule to end.

That's why he's hesitant now, wanting Luffy to end Morgan's rule.

Meanwhile, Morgan, after being captured by Luffy, still acted stubbornly and roared angrily.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Do you think you can defeat me just by capturing me?"

"Don't underestimate me, I'm the [Axeman]..."

boom!

As Monka was speaking, his head was suddenly shoved into the ground, and the steel gag he was wearing on his mouth instantly shattered, creating a crater more than ten centimeters deep in the ground.

The person was completely disfigured and lost consciousness instantly.

The entire audience was stunned once again upon seeing this.

Among the three on the wall, Nami and Coby's eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, and their mouths were agape enough to swallow a pig three times.

"Mr. Luffy is so strong!"

"That guy... he's ridiculously strong! He's a Navy captain!"

While they were expressing their feelings, each of them had their own calculations in mind.

Inspired by Luffy, Coby resolved to become a Marine Admiral.

Nami couldn't help but wonder if Luffy could defeat Arlong and save Cocoyasi Village.

Zoro was also deeply shocked by Luffy's strength.

At least for him, it was impossible for him to defeat Monca so easily.

As for the navy.

After a moment of shock and stunned silence.

Sudden...

"Great!"

"We are free!"

"We no longer need to be at Monka's beck and call!"

Long live the Navy!

The sailors threw down their guns and knives, cheering and celebrating the moment of liberation.

This scene left the trio on the wall looking puzzled and confused; they simply didn't understand what was going on with the navy here.

"It's not over yet!"

At that moment, Luffy suddenly sneered and swung his arm out again.

The next second, he grabbed a guy whose chin looked like a butt.

It was Monca's son, Bellumebo.

"Zoro, isn't this the guy who tied you up here and said he was going to kill you?"

Zoro glanced at Helmeppo.

The guy was terrified; snot and tears streamed down his face, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

"It's definitely this guy! But never mind, I have no interest in bullying someone who has no will to fight."

Luffy smiled upon hearing this.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought.

Zoro wouldn't bother with such trash.

But the reason he knew this and still did it was because...
