Your POV:

"A demonic beast, huh ?"

Koby: Roronoa Zoro is his real name, but they call him 'Zoro the pirate hunter'. He's like a bloodthirsty hound, roaming the seas, hunting men for the bounties on their heads ! They say he's a demon in human form.

"We don't have bounties yet, it's gonna be fine."

Koby: Y/n, he's a pirate hunter ! Pirate hunters don't mix well with pirates !

Luffy: I haven't decided whether I'll invite him to join our crew or not. If he's a good guy, then I'll-

Koby: He's in prison because he's NOT a good guy !!

Luffy: We're finally here ! We made it to the naval base town !

"Yeah, we finally made it, even if it cost us our boat."

Luffy: Koby, you're amazing ! You actually got us to our destination !

Koby: Of course I did ! That's the minimum requirement for people who sail the seas.

"Floating around randomly in a barrel won't lead you anywhere, Luffy. If only you agreed to fly..."

Luffy: I already told you, I get sick when you use your telekinesis on me. But enough talking, let's eat !!

"Well Koby, I guess this is where we go our separate ways."

Luffy: I'm sure you'll join the navy and become a great sailor !

Koby: Th-Thank you, guys ! And I hope you become great pirates ! Even if that means we'll be enemies.

"If you could just wait until we set sail before going after us, that would be nice."

Luffy: About that, I just remembered... That guy is supposed to be imprisoned here, Roronoa Zoro...

"By the looks of it, his name is really feared here..."

Koby: Yes, maybe you shouldn't say it out loud around here... Anyway, I saw a poster that said this base is under the command of captain Morgan.

Luffy: Ha ha ha ha ! What a great restaurant ! I want to go back there again !

Koby: Everyone is so jumpy, I'm getting a bad feeling about this !

"Getting nervous by hearing Roronoa Zoro's name is understandable, but why does it looks like they fear their own captain even more ?"

Luffy: Who knows ? Maybe they just like to jump around like that.

Koby: How could this even be possible ?!! I'm trying to think seriously here...

"Wow, it looks way bigger up close !"

Luffy: Well, go on in, Koby !

Koby: B-But I haven't mentally prepared myself yet... And those people sure were scared when they heard the captain's name...

"Suit yourself, wait if you want, we have things to do."

Koby: Guys ! What are you doing ?!

Luffy: I wonder if we can see the demonic beast from here.

Koby: You won't find him just by peeking over the fence. He's probably deep within the bowels of the prison...

Luffy: Oh yeah ? Well there's somebody over there ! Maybe it's Zoro !

"I don't see who else it could be."

Koby: A b-black bandanna and a haramaki sash !!! I-It's really him ! That's Roronoa Zoro !!! he looks so... Menacing !!!

"Exposed in the middle of a plain field like that, we could just untie those ropes and set him free..."

Koby: That's suicide !! If you let him loose, he'll kill us then wreck tho town !!

Zoro: Hey, kids... Come over here, and untie me. i've been here for nine days and I can't take it anymore.

Luffy: hey, he's smiling !

Koby: H-He's talking to us !!

Zoro: 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.

"Oh well, he's making things rather easy there."

Koby: D-Don't do it, Y/n !! As soon as you untie him, he'll kill us and get away ! I just know it !

Luffy: Don't worry, he won't kill him. Simply because he can't. He won't be able to.

Zoro: Huh ?

Koby: 'Why are they both so stubborn ?!'

At that moment, a ladder went against the wall, and a little girl climbed it, landing on the other side of the wall, starting to walk toward Zoro.

Koby: Hey ! D-Don't go down there ! it's dangerous !

Koby: Luffy ! Do something ! She'll be killed !

"Why don't you do it yourself ?"

Zoro: What do YOU want ? Get lost ! Do you want to get killed ?!

Girl: I made these rice balls for you ! I thought you might need some food ! it's the first time I've ever made rice balls, I hope you like them.

Zoro: I'm... Not hungry ! Now beat it and take that stuff with you !!

Girl: B-But...

Zoro: I don't want it !! Now get outta here !! Or I'll stomp you to death !!

???: Roronoa Zoro !!! You shouldn't pick on little girls. I'll tell my father on you !

Luffy: Who's that weirdo ?

Koby: He must be some high-ranked naval officer. Now that little girl will be safe.

'That level of smugness... I though only Megumin could master it...'

Zoro: Hmpf ! Well... If it isn't the idiot son, living off daddy's wealth.

Hermepp: Did you just call me an 'idiot' ? A man in your position should guard his tongue, or he could lose it !

Hermepp: Little girl... Did you bring those rice balls for me ? How thoughtful.

Girl: Hey ! Give it back !

Hermepp: BLECH ! Disgusting ! It's sweet ! There's sugar on it !! Rice balls are supposed to be seasoned with salt, not sugar !!

Girl: B-But I like sweets, so I figured sugar would be better !

Hermepp: These are COMPLETELY inedible !!

Girl: Stop ! Please ! You're ruining them !

Koby: How evil... That little girl worked really hard to make those rice balls.

Hermepp: Don't worry ! I'm sure the ants find them delicious ! Ha ha ha !

Girl: Oh no ! Why !! I worked so hard to make them !!

Hermepp: Oh, stop that crying ! That's why I hate kids ! it's your own fault ! Can't you read this sign ? It says 'Anyone aiding the prisoner shall be found guilty of the crimes he has committed. Captain Morgan.' I'm sure you heard how scary my father can be ! If you were an adult, you would be put to death ! You there ! Throw that brat over the fence !!

Soldier: B-But...

Hermepp: I'm ordering you to throw that little brat over the fence ! Are you going to disobey a direct order ?! I'll tell daddy on you !

Soldier: Y-Yes sir... Right away !!

"Not on my watch !" 

Using my telekinesis, I gently put her on the ground,

Koby: Are you okay ?! What a bad man... !

Hermepp: My, Roronoa Zoro, aren't you a stubborn one !

Zoro: That's right, I'm gonna last out the entire month ! You just keep your end of the bargain !

Hermepp: Ha ha ha ! I won't dream of breaking my word. If you survive out here for a month, then I'll let you go !! It's my pleasure, I'm sure !!

he then left the field, but two pirates certainly weren't gonna leave just like that.

Zoro: You two are still here ? Better not let Hermepp's father catch you.

Luffy: Look, I'm looking for good men to join my pirate crew.

Zoro: Pirate crew , You think I'd lower myself to that level ? No thanks !

Luffy: But becoming a pirate's my dream ! What's wrong with it ?!

Zoro: You think if you untie me, I'm gonna join your pirate crew ?

"We haven't decided yet, you've got a pretty bad reputation, you know ? Peoples have been portrayed you as a demon."

Zoro: Bad reputation, huh ? Well, anyway, I don't go for that kind of deal, I've got my own plans for the future. I don't need your help, I can get out of here on my own. All I have to do is last for a month here, then I'm a free man ! Captain Morgan's idiot son promised me. All I've got to do is survive here for one month. Then I'll be free to pursue my dream !!!

Luffy: Hmm... I see... I don't think I would last one week without food.

Zoro: Me and you are different, I've got more willpower.

"No, Luffy's just a walking stomach. He's always hungry."

Zoro: Whatever, go look for a crew elsewhere... Just, before you go, could you... Pick that up for me ?

Luffy: You're not going to eat it ?! It's more of a dirt ball than a rice ball now... I know you're hungry, but this...

Zoro: Shut up ! Just shut and feed it to me ! And don't miss one grain of rice !

"At least let me clean it first. It shouldn't be long."

Again, telekinesis. To separate the dirt from the rice.

"There. It's not perfect, but at least it's edible now. Couldn't do anything for the taste, sadly."

Zoro: Koff... T-Tell the kid... Tell her I said it was delicious. Tell her I ate it all.

Girl: Really ?!!

Luffy: yeah ! He ate it all up.

Girl: I'm so glad !

"It's matter to think if he's really the bad guy here..."

Girl: He's NOT a bad guy ! Everybody in town is afraid of him, but he hasn't done anything wrong ! He got thrown into prison because of me. Captain Morgan's son had a bunch of mean dogs ! They attacked me and Roronoa Zoro saved me ! Besides, these dogs were running loose and scaring everybody in town !

"Wait, Zoro is in prison... because he hurt that guy's dog to save you ?!"

Girl: yes !

Koby: that makes sense ! Zoro'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 !

Girl: Captain Morgan and his son are the bad ones ! They put people to death for no reason at all ! Everyone's afraid of them.

Hermepp: Ha ha ha ! You're not bowing your heads low enough, scum ! I'll tell my father on all of you !!

"Speak of the devil..."

Hermepp: Do you want to be jailed like Roronoa Zoro ?! We're going to hold a public execution for him in three days !! We'll make an example of him ! I can hardly wait !

"Wait a second... three days ?"

Luffy: But... You made a promise to him ?!

Hermepp: What , Where did you hear about that ? That promise was just a joke !! He's just a stupid beast for believing it !! HA HA HA !!!

Zoro: Captain Morgan's idiot son promised me. All I've got to do is survive here for one month.

Koby: Luffy !! Stop ! Calm down !! You want to make an enemy of the navy, do you ?!

"Koby, we're pirates. We're the navy's enemies by default."

Luffy: that guy is scum ! I've made my decision ! I'm going to ask Zoro to join my crew !!
