Summary:
Luffy finally manages to free Zoro and the two take out all of Morgan’s soldiers. Luffy fights Morgan, but is forced to stop when Helmeppo threatens to shoot Koby. While Luffy saves Koby by knocking out Helmepp, Morgan takes the opportunity to try to kill him, but is stopped by Zoro.
Morgan tells his men that Luffy must have eaten the devil fruit and that he is not a normal person. Realization of weapons will not work; the marines attack Luffy as he tries to untie Zoro. Koby wakes up after passing out while being shot at by Luffy to see the marines charging at Zoro and Luffy. Luffy manages to untie Zoro and hands him his swords.
After freeing himself, all the attacking marines who find their swords are locked with Zoro’s three swords. Zoro threatens to kill anyone who moves and the marines cry in fear. Zoro tells Luffy that he has already stated that he will join him after this because the marines will declare him a criminal anyway. He sets conditions for him to join Luffy and warns him that his plans should not interfere with his own dream of becoming the greatest swordsman.
Morgan calls out to his men to fight them and Luffy tells Zoro to back off. Luffy knocks down all the marines who currently have their swords locked against Zoro’s sword. The Marines complain that they can’t defeat the pair. Morgan orders his men to hold their guns to their heads for disobeying him. Luffy declares that he is the Marines’ worst enemy and dares Morgan to attack him. A fight ensues, and Morgan chops the fence in half with an ax.
Morgan proves highly resilient as neither man is able to knock the other down. When Morgan is knocked down by Luffy, Helmeppo holds a gun to Koby’s head and threatens to kill him. Koby tells Luffy to keep going, but Luffy ignores him and hits Helmeppo. Morgan uses this to attack Luffy, but is defeated by Zoro.
