The Shells Town conflict uses Zoro’s imprisonment and Morgan’s rule to test what kind of people Luffy chooses to trust. The section moves Zoro closer to becoming Luffy’s first crewmate. ### Key dialogue Zoro: What are you!? Zoro: I'm the guy... Narrator: Who's gonna be King of the Pirates!!! Zoro: So which swords are yours? Zoro: I didn't know, so I brought all three... Zoro: practice SANTORVI, threesword style. Zoro: If you fight the navy with me here and now, in the eyes of the government, you'll be one of the bad guys! Zoro: You've got yourself a pirate!!! Zoro: This is what I came up with. Originally his name wasn't Morgan, it was "Chop." So his full title was "Naval Captain chop" or "Sailor Chop!" What a great name! But even I didn't have the nerve to use this name. [Editor's Note: Zoro: I can't show them all here, but I actually made two or three more versions of Captain Morgan before I settled on the one used in the manga. I redesigned him to look cooler because a certain editor told me he looked lame. I couldn't argue with that, so I changed his look.
