Bai Luo coldly stared at Helmeppo in the pool of blood, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
"This hateful fellow should also taste what it's like to be executed!"
"Flying Demon Wheel, go tie this guy to the cross."
"Understood."
In fact, Flying Demon Wheel had long been fed up with this guy.
Seeing this, Zoro and Luffy did not stop him.
After witnessing Helmeppo's true colors, Zoro had long wished to get rid of him quickly.
He hated people who didn't keep their promises the most.
As for Luffy, though he was thick-headed,
he also had no good feelings for someone like Helmeppo.
Soon, Helmeppo was tied up by Flying Demon Wheel.
Bai Luo looked at Helmeppo, who was like a dead dog, severely injured and not long for this world.
After watching for a while, Bai Luo lost interest.
His gaze shifted, and he looked at Zoro.
"How about it? Are you willing to join our Pirate Crew?"
"Our Captain is a man who will become the Pirate King in the future!"
Bai Luo looked at Zoro with a smiling expression.
Now, Zoro had completely offended the Marine.
At this point, it seemed he had no better place to go than to become a pirate.
As expected.
After hearing Bai Luo's words, Zoro did not refuse immediately.
Of course, he had automatically ignored Bai Luo's later words.
Becoming the Pirate King.
Is being the Pirate King that easy?
"Hehehe, Zoro, be my companion."
"It's a very interesting thing for us to go out to sea and adventure together!"
At this moment, Luffy also spoke at just the right time.
Zoro, who was already somewhat wavering, heard Luffy's invitation.
His eyes finally became firm.
"Okay, I can join your Pirate Crew, but I have conditions."
"I have my own goal; I want to defeat Mihawk and become the Worlds Strongest Swordsman!"
"If you try to stop me, I will immediately withdraw from your Pirate Crew."
"Hehehe... How could I stop a companion's dream!"
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I am the man who will become the Pirate King."
Zoro immediately gave Luffy a look.
He had heard this sentence more than a few times.
Compared to Luffy, he was more interested in Bai Luo.
"My name is Bai Luo, and I am a Blacksmith."
"Flying Demon Wheel is my creation!"
Noticing Zoro's gaze, Bai Luo also introduced himself.
"Blacksmith?"
"This guy was actually made by you?"
Hearing that Flying Demon Wheel was created by Bai Luo, Zoro's face showed an incredulous expression.
Bai Luo nodded noncommittally.
"By the way, Zoro, Nami is a very capable navigator and also our companion."
As if remembering something, Luffy pointed towards Nami, who was still cautiously by the wall.
"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't agreed to join your Pirate Crew!"
Hearing this, Nami immediately shrieked loudly.
Are you kidding?
Helmeppo was clearly not going to survive, and the Marine would definitely not let Zoro and the others go.
Nami did not want to be implicated.
