The first time Luffy met Zoro, Zoro got caught by the Marines because [he
killed Helmeppo's pet wolf](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Helmeppo#History).

He was already strong at that time, he could easily defeat Morgan, a Marine
Captain there. Had he deliberately made himself get caught? Why did he do
that?

How could the Marines catch Zoro?


He deliberately got caught in order to save the little girl who was threatened
by Helmeppo with a gun.

I think nothing is mentioned in the manga about this. According to the anime
([second episode](http://watchonepiece.us/one-piece-episode-2-english-sub/)),
Zoro was blackmailed by Helmeppo to surrender for 1 month otherwise he will
ask his father to execute the family. Zoro agrees on the condition that the
family will not be harmed.
