Chapter 7

Morgan's soldiers, grateful to Luffy for defeating Morgan, allow Luffy and Zoro to leave peacefully. Coby, however, doesn't accompany them, causing the soldiers to ask if he's one of them or not. To prove that Coby isn't their nakama, Luffy provokes him until he punches him; he is then allowed to stay. After the pirates leave, Coby asks to join the marines, and is allowed in.

 * Coby: "I... am the man who will be a marine commisioned officer!"
 * Marine: "I can't count how many men we've lost to pirates, so don't do this lightly. I'll approve you joining."
