Chapter 13: please save Zoro.
Hey there, what brings you to this place? asked Saitama, his eyes fixed on the two little girls standing in front of him.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Helmeppo gave the girls a disdainful look and commanded them to quickly hand over the bouquet of flowers to Commodore Saitama.
The girls looked scared, but eventually approached Saitama with the flowers in their hands. As they handed him the bouquet, Saitama and Tashigi exchanged a suspicious glance. They could sense that something was amiss.
After all, the eyes of children never deceive.
It wasnt just Morgan who was acting strange. Even his son, who was trying to put up a pretense in front of Saitama, was behaving strangely. The two little girls seemed to be afraid of Helmeppo as well.
Tashigi turned to Saitama and whispered, Something is not right here. She walked over to the girls, took the flowers from them, and gently touched their heads.
What are your names, sweeties? she asked.
One of the girls was too timid to speak and hid behind the other. The other girl spoke up, Big sister and bald uncle are you really here to bring justice?
The words sent chills down everyones spines. The soldiers of the 153rd Branch of the Marines bowed their heads in shame.
At that moment, Helmeppos face twisted with panic and he raised his foot to kick the little girl. What do you mean!? Who allowed you to speak? he barked.
Before he could carry out his vicious act, Saitama sprang into action. He jumped, seized Helmeppo by the neck, lifted him off the ground, and threw him aside.
Let her speak, he commanded.
The little girl, encouraged by Saitamas support, clenched her fist and cried out with courage, My name is Rika Bald uncle! Please, help Roronoa!
Saitama looked at Tashigi in confusion. Roronoa? he repeated.
Tashigi pushed up her glasses and answered in a soft voice, Hes the latest famous pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro.
Um Saitama pondered as he gazed at Rika. What happened? Was he apprehended by pirates?
No, Rika sighed, her fingers fidgeting with guilt. Its all my fault. He was taken captive by the soldiers for slaying Helmeppos wolf. But it wasnt his fault the beast was rampaging through the town, destroying everything in its path. Big Brother Zoro was a true hero, despite the circumstances.
Upon hearing this, Helmeppo scrambled to his feet and shouted, My wolf doesnt bite, it only scares people!
Saitamas expression grew more serious as he spoke. Its up to a powerful hero to stop him and enforce justice. Tashigi, please stay true to your convictions and face the impermanence of the world with courage.
In an instant, Saitamas temperament shifted, and his face contorted with rage. He exuded an air of incredible reliability, maturity, and power, as if he were someone else entirely.
Tashigi felt her heart racing as he looked at her. She blushed, feeling the intensity of his gaze.
Catching up to him, she responded with enthusiasm, Yes, Commodore!
As they made their way to the 153rd Branch base, a crowd of citizens and soldiers witnessed Helmeppo being dragged on the ground like a pig by a bald man, with tears streaming down his face. They whispered amongst themselves, curious about what had happened.
Many of them recognized the bald man as Saitama and murmured, Could it be the Bald Devil?
The Bald Devil? Whos that? someone asked.
Theres a rumor of a marine Commodore stationed in Loguetown, another replied.
Thanks to him, the number of pirates in the East Blue has decreased. Anyone who dares to fight him ends up dead or captured.
Really? But he doesnt look all that powerful, someone else said skeptically.
Dont be fooled! Its said that the name of the Bald Devil strikes fear in the hearts of all East Blue pirates. No one has ever managed to sneak past him or escape from him, a voice chimed in.
But why would the Bald Devil appear here? Does it mean that the tyranny of that villain Morgan is finally over? Thats great news! someone exclaimed.
