Its been a week since reo reached the port town through the warp and still no sign of zoro nor luffy, but he had seen Axe Hand Morgan the marine lieutenant of the base who was of dommeering and narcissistic personality when he saw him. Reo gathered little bit of information about him from a shady person for some demon spirit coins which were technically gold at the bar.According to that person, Morgan was a aggressive marine who has a axe attached to his right hand which gave him the name "Axe Hand Morgan" , it was said that he had his arm cut off by a renown pirate and he grew up the ranks for the marines using his axe hand to get revenge on the one that cut his hand off.
Morgan always thinks that everyone should worship people with the highest authority and as he was the one with the highest power in that area he wanted people to worship him as he oppressed people.
Currently morgan was building a statue of himself at the top of the marine base to show his greatness to others so that they can worship him because he was the highest authority on that island port.
Reo was relieved since the statue was still in construction and luffy had not broken it yet, then that means he had arrived too early. He knew that he had a few days time given by the system to make some plans and preparations.
A Few days Later....
*** Random Screams ***
Reo heard some people scream outside the bar he was currently at and went out to take a look at the scene. That was when he found a wolf with a long gash on its side sprawled on the ground, a crying little girl along with her mother and a swordsman with 3 swords attached to his sheaths. Their was also a rich youngster with the marine guards behind him as he shouted at the swordsman and took him into custody.
After the marines took away the swordsman and people began to disperse.Reo found someone to recount what had happened and from what he heard from the guy he knew that the rich youngster was helmeppo the son of morgan and the wounded wolf was his pet. The wolf was being walked on the street and was causing ruckus when suddenly it started trying to bite the little girl and was with a single slash knocked aside by the mysterious swordsman. Since he has offended helmeppo he was arrested and was said to be tied up and starve for a week at the punishment grounds and no one was to help him.
Reo then getting all the information decided his course of plans and wanted to rescue zoro after a few days so that he had to make some preparations so he left the alley way and walked away.
Five days flashed by and today was the day that reo was going to rescue Zoro and beat up Morgan for being a cruel and idiotic marine.
Reo went up to the place where Zoro was tied up, it was a empty ground surrounded by high walls where Zoro was placed in the middle. It was a training ground but right now everyone had gone for lunch and it was the perfect time to meet Zoro.
Reo had researched the timings of the patrols and the Marines during these few days and set up a array formation around the training ground. Since he was a cultivator he could do things at a speed which these normal patrol guards can"t see him. He had also sneaked up helmeppo room and took back zoros swords.
Reo jumped over the walls and approached the tied up swordsman and said " h.e.l.lo I am Reo Yuuto".
Zoro had been starving for the few days so he had a slight pale look with a smile on his face as he looked up at reo and said " Could you please untie me cause ive been tied up for like 5 days and im exhausted?"
Reo kept quite as zoro continued " I"ll repay you, i could hunt down a fugitive or a wanted pirate and give you the rewards. I"m not lying. I"ll keep my words. "
Just then the little girl who was the one rescued by zoro jumped over the walls and made her way to them and she said "Brother, i made some rice b.a.l.l.s for you! You havent eaten for a few days right ?"
Zoro shouted at her "I dont want it!, leave me!! If you dont go ill hurt you and im not hungry!!!."
He slowly quieted down and said her to go away.
But the little girl was stubborn and kept on insisting that he eat the rice b.a.l.l.s.
Just then it happened to be that helmeppo was arriving with his marine guards and saw this play out so he made his way over and mocked zoro and the little girl. He threw down the rice b.a.l.l.s and stomped them with his foot.
Helmeppo then told his guard to slap her a few times and throw the girl outside the wall, the guard grew fl.u.s.tered upon told to hurt the little girl and hesitated but then when he got threatened by helmeppo using his fathers name the guard slowly approached the little girl.

When he was about to touch the little girl he heard something and got a heavy pressure that almost made him faint. Reo said " Touch her and your dead" as he released a bit of his conquerer haki.
Helmeppo then looked at reo and said " How dare you try to enter the compound and help a prisoner and go againsts my words, ill tell my dad and he will put you in..."
He was cut shortly as reo told " Shut Up."
(* Releases the Conquerer Haki At Helmeppo and the Marine guards*)
The haki was released directed at helmeppo and the marine guards, they fainted from the pressure and fell to the ground.
.....
A little far away a patrol guard saw what happened was scared s.h.i.tless when he saw everyone collapsed onto the ground. He turned back and ran as fast as he could to inform morgan. Reo saw this with the corner of his eye as he deliberately left the guard so that he could bring Morgan to this expanse of empty land. He did that since he didnt want to go searching morgan on his own.
.....
As Zoro saw helmeppo and his guard fall down he was shocked. Even zoro felt a little pressure from reo and wondered who the guy might be and how he made them collapse. He now had a serious look in his face. Reo walked towards the little girl and crouched down as he patted her head as he gave her a charming smile and said " Little girl dont cry the big bad boy and his father will be removed from this town. I will take care of them you go home and play now."
The girl was a little bit reluctant to go, but since she had handed over the food she thanked reo and Zoro for saving her and left the grounds. Seeing the girl leave reo walked back towards zoro and said " Roronoa Zoro the Pirate Hunter the famous bounty hunter and the 3-Sword Style Swordsman whats your goal."
Zoro was stunned for a moment seeing as reo look at him with a meaningful eye, he tensed up as he said " I want to become the World"s Number One Swordsman."
