One Piece: Wanted for Having Too Much Fun

Suddenly—BAM!

The restaurant doors burst open with a dramatic flair.

Helmeppo strutted in like he owned the place, flanked by two Marine officers who looked more like reluctant babysitters than bodyguards. He plopped onto a chair and kicked his feet up on the table like a spoiled prince.

"Hey! Bring me some booze!" he barked.

Ririka scrambled to grab a bottle, pouring it into a glass with shaky hands.

"Oh! By the way, I've been bored lately, so I've decided to execute Zoro tomorrow," Helmeppo announced smugly. "Look forward to it!"

Luffy, who had been inhaling food like a vacuum cleaner, suddenly stopped. He stood up and marched toward Helmeppo.

"Didn't you say you'd give him a month?" Luffy asked, eyes sharp.

"Who the heck are you?" Helmeppo blinked, surprised anyone would dare question him. Then he sneered. "I was just joking with him! Only an idiot would believe that."

Luffy's fist was already in motion.

WHAM!

"AHHH! Luffy, STOP! LUCEN!" Koby spun toward Lucen—only to find him snoozing peacefully.

"IS THIS REALLY THE TIME TO SLEEP?!" Koby shrieked, diving to restrain Luffy.

"Y-You hit me! Do you know who I am?! I'm Captain Morgan's son!" Helmeppo wailed, tears streaming as the two Marine officers inspected his (probably very minor) injuries.

Strangely, the officers didn't attack Luffy. In fact, they looked suspiciously pleased. Clearly, Helmeppo wasn't winning any popularity contests.

"I don't care," Luffy said, winding up for another punch. Koby clung to his arm like a desperate koala.

"J-Just wait! My father will have you executed!" Helmeppo screeched before bolting out the door, his two babysitters—er, bodyguards—trailing behind.

"Oh no… This is bad. We're officially on the Marines' bad side!" Koby whimpered, trembling like a leaf.

"LUCEN! I've decided Zoro's joining our crew!" Luffy declared. When silence answered him, he turned—Lucen was still out cold.

"He's sleeping."

Luffy shrugged and faced Koby. "When he wakes up, tell him I'm going to recruit Zoro."

"ARE YOU INSANE?!" Koby screamed, but Luffy was already gone in a gust of wind.

"Oh no, I have to wake Lucen!"

At the Marine Yard

Luffy strolled back into the Marine base yard where Zoro was tied up.

"You again? I told you, I'm not joining your crew," Zoro grunted.

"I wouldn't accept it," Luffy replied casually.

"WHAT?!"

"You use swords, right? Where are they?" Luffy asked.

"That brat took them. What's it to you?" Zoro snapped.

"Oh! Then I'll get them back. After that, you'll have to join me. Shishishi~" Luffy laughed before sprinting toward the Marine base.

"Weird… where is everyone?" Luffy muttered, looking around.

Then he heard a noise from above. Spotting a giant statue, he stretched his arms and launched himself toward it.

Back at Food Foo

"Lucen, WAKE UP! Luffy's in danger!" Koby shook him violently.

"Big Bro Lucen, pleeease wake up!" Rika joined in, tugging at his sleeve.

"Just… five… more minutes…" Lucen mumbled.

"YOU SAID THAT TEN MINUTES AGO!" Koby screeched, tears in his eyes.

"Okay, okay…" Lucen finally sat up, stretching like a lazy cat. "So what's the—wait, where's Luffy?"

Koby launched into a frantic explanation of everything that had happened while Lucen was napping.

"Wow. You guys managed to start a war in 15 minutes? Impressive." Lucen yawned.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Suddenly energized, Lucen grabbed Koby by the collar and dashed toward the Marine base.

"GOOD LUCK, YOU GUYS!!" Rika cheered, waving from the restaurant door.

Back at the Marine Yard

Lucen and Koby arrived at the Marine base.

"Koby, you're really light, you know?" Lucen remarked as they walked in.

"No, you're just freakishly strong," Koby wheezed.

They spotted Zoro, and Koby immediately rushed to untie him.

"What are you doing?" Zoro frowned.

"Saving you! Where's Luffy?"

"He went inside."

"He really doesn't think things through, huh?" Koby laughed nervously.

"OI! If you help me, they'll execute you too!" Zoro warned.

"I can't stand corrupt Marines!" Koby declared.

"I'm going to be a Marine Officer—just like Luffy's gonna be Pirate King!"

Zoro blinked. "Wait, his dream is even crazier than mine?"

"KOBY, LOOK OUT!"

BANG!

A gunshot rang out, but Lucen yanked Koby out of the way just in time.

At the Top of the Marine Building

"Sir, he dodged it," a Marine officer reported.

Axe-Hand Morgan, the tyrannical captain of Shell Town, stood tall, his steel jaw etched with the word "Möwe." His actual hand had been replaced with—you guessed it—an axe.

He was the kind of guy who thought titles made him invincible, and right now, he was furious that some straw-hatted brat had disrespected his authority.

"What are you idiots waiting for? Surround them! I'll crush these insects myself!" Morgan snarled, his voice dripping with menace.

---

Back in the Marine Yard

"AAAAAAAAH!" Koby screamed, finally processing that someone had just shot at him.

"You two okay?" Zoro asked.

"YEP! THAT WAS FUN!" Lucen grinned.

"Huh?!... Anyway, RUN while you still can!"

"NO! Luffy and Lucen saved me—I won't abandon them!" Koby stood his ground, legs shaking but resolve firm.

"You're stubborn, kid. I can survive a month like this."

"That's a lie! Helmeppo was going to execute you tomorrow!" Koby blurted.

"What?!"

"Yep. And Luffy's out there risking his neck for you,"Lucen added cheerfully.

Suddenly, a swarm of Marines stormed in, guns trained on them.

"So, you're the fools who dare defy ME, THE GREAT AXE-HAND MORGAN?"Morgan boomed, cigarette dangling from his lips.

"OI! So you're Morgan? You look like a budget villain from a bad play,"Lucen said, unfazed.

"Lucen, we're surrounded! What do we do?!" Koby whispered, knees knocking together.

Lucen smirked at the nervous Marines.

"You guys are Marines, huh? I heard the people here hate your guts."

The Marines tensed.

"That's weird. I thought Marines were supposed to uphold justice, not take orders from a guy who probably hugs his own wanted poster at night."

"SHOOT THEM!" Morgan roared.

The Marines hesitated, hands trembling.

"I AM YOUR SUPERIOR! DISOBEY ME, AND YOU'RE DEAD!"

Lucen laughed. "HAHAHA! IS THIS YOUR JUSTICE? EVEN PIRATES HAVE MORE HONOR THAN YOU!"

Was he stalling? Maybe. Was it working? Absolutely.

Then—

THUD!!!
