<p>I think nothing is mentioned in the manga about this. According to the anime (<a href="http://watchonepiece.us/one-piece-episode-2-english-sub/">second episode</a>), 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.</p>

<p>The first time Luffy met Zoro, Zoro got caught by the Marines because <a href="http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Helmeppo#History" rel="nofollow noreferrer">he killed Helmeppo's pet wolf</a>.</p>

<p>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?</p>
