* *: Narrator/Voice-off

Your POV:

Gin: How could our entire fleet be sunk by a single man ?!

Zeff: That had to be... The work of an enemy Stand !

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

Zeff: That had to be... the work of the hawk-eyed man, without a doubt...

Patty: H... HAWK-EYED MAN ?!

Zeff: You saying that you witnessed a man, whose glare was as sharp as that of a hawk doesn't necessarily prove it was him, but the fact that he sunk your entire fleet, is more than enough proof that is really was him... !

Usopp: H... Hawk-eyed... ?! Who's that ?

Luffy: Beats me.

"If he's the one I'm thinking about... They were incredibly lucky to escape."

Luffy: You've heard of him ?

Zoro: He's the man I'm searching for... According to what Johnny said...

Cooks: Hawk-eyed man, huh... If it's the red-eyed man, I remember him coming to this shop before.

Cook: Right, you mean that guy who got so piss-drunk from wine that his eyes turned red. That idiot caught on fire and blew up, that was quite a sight.

Zoro: That idiot got his information mixed up !

Luffy: Hm ? What about Johnny ?

Zoro: No, nevermind.

Sanji: Did he bear some ill grudge against you guys, for him to destroy your entire fleet like that ?

Gin: I don't remember anything like that ! He just attacked us all of a sudden !

Zeff: Perhaps you disturbed his afternoon nap...

'That's... No, that's a plausible explanation, after all...'

Gin: That's bullshit !! You mean to tell me he entire fleet for that ?!

Zeff: No need to get so irritated, it was just an example. That's just the kind of place Grand Line is.

Zoro: A place where even the abnormal is normal, huh.

Luffy: Hee hee ! That sounds like such a thrill ! We definitely gotta go there !

Usopp: Could you at least TRY to think of the danger ?!

"You call it danger, I call it 'minor inconveniences', and Luffy calls it 'another reason to go there'."

Zoro: And with that it looks like my own goal is inextricably tied with Grand Line, considering that "that man" is there as well !

Sanji: Bunch of idiots. You lot are the type to rush to their deaths.

"While that's true, you should start calling me Jesus, 'cause I've never stayed dead for more than 3 days up until now."

Zoro: Ever since I've decided to become the world's greatest swordsman, I threw away my attachment to life. The only one who has the right to call me an idiot is me alone.

Usopp: As a real man, the same goes for me too.

"Liar."

Sanji: Psh... What a load of crap.

Patty: hey, retards ! Haven't you realized the situation we're in right now ?! The gigantic galleon that's parked right in front of our restaurant, belongs to the pirate fleet admiral Don Krieg ! The ship of the strongest pirate in all of East Blue ! You got that ?! So you can continue your little conversation after we've gotten ourselves out of this mess !

"Oh right, that minor inconvenience. We'll have to deal with it."

Pirates: WE'RE SAVED !! Haha, we're alive ! It's like a dream ! We've finally escaped from that nightmare ! We've returned alive from the "pirates graveyard" !!

Krieg: Yes... And we'll set sail back to Grand Line once again...

Pirates: Wha ?!

Krieg: Hmm ? What's with your expressions ?

Pirate: We're... Going back there... ?

Krieg: Well ? Any others who disagree ?

Pirates: N- No sir ! All hail Don Krieg !!

Krieg: First, we'll abandon this battered old ship that might sink at any moment and take over that floating restaurant. Your enemies are just a bunch of measly cooks. This should be a piece of cake.

Pirate: Um... Don ? Why is there a giant floating skull right there ?

Cooks: I can hear them coming ! Brace yourself ! This ship is our restaurant !!

Luffy: Are we going to fight too ?

"I'm about to disintegrate their ship, that should do."

Pirates: MOVE IT YOU DAMN COOKS !!

Cooks: WHA...

Luffy: WHAT ?!

Krieg: WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW ?!!

"WHO DARED TO STEAL MY KILL ?!!"

Pirates: DON KRIEG ! OUR SHIP... OUR SHIP'S BEEN CUT !!

Krieg: Cut ?! The hell do you mean, cut ?! How can a huge galleon like this be cut ?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE !!

"Oh well, cut or not, I'm not changing my plans now."

Pirates: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH !!! DON KRIEG !!!

Zoro: Crap ! Our ship was outside too, with Nami, Yosaku and Johnny still inside !

Usopp: It might be too late already !!

Zeff: Raise the anchor ! Or this ship's gonna get dragged under !

Cooks: Yes, sir !

Johnny: Bro ! Brother Zoro !!!

Zoro: Yosaku ! Johnny ! You alright ? The ship ! Where's our ship ?! What happened to Nami ?! Yosaku: About that... We're sorry, bro... ! She's not here anymore ! She... She took the treasure and sailed away !!

Everyone: Wha ?! WHAAAT ?!

Johnny: We're sorry, bro !!

Zoro: Damn that woman ! Just because she was acting all nice recently, I let my guard down for ONE MOMENT and then this happens !

Usopp: How dare she pull a fast one over us, especially during this crisis !

Luffy: Wait ! I can still see our ship ! It's the Going Merry !

"Yosaku, Johnny, where's your ship ?"

Yosaku: Well, we still have ours.

Zoro: Just let her go. No good will come of chasing after that thief.

Usopp: B- But she took our ship ! That ship's important !

Luffy: I want her to be our navigator, no matter what !!

"*sigh*"

Zoro: Fine. Why'd I have to follow such a troublesome captain... Hey, Usopp ! We're going !

Usopp: R- Right !

Yosaku: Brother Zoro ! We're ready to set sail !

Usopp: You two are not coming ?

"We can't. We still have to pay that restaurant back for that cannonball.

Zoro: Be careful. The situation here is getting a little crazy.

"I'm used to it, don't worry..."

Pirates: IT'S HIM !!! DON KRIEG, IT'S HIM ! THE ONE WHO DESTROYED OUR FLEET ! HE FOLLOWED US ALL THE WAY OUT HERE ! HE'S COME TO KILL ALL OF US !!

Krieg: That bastard...

Zoro: I- It can't be... Is that... The hawk-eyed man... ?!

Patty: He's... The one who sank a fleet of 50 ships... ?!

Carne: Then, he's the one who destroyed Krieg's ship just now ?!

Cook: He looks like any normal guy... And it doesn't seem like he's carrying any special weapon...

Zeff: If you're looking for his weapon, then it's on his back.

Cook: Wha... ?! Y- You mean he cut that gigantic galleon by swinging that ?!

Zeff: Yes... That "Hawk-eyed" man is a renowned swordsman. More renowned than any swordsman in this world...

Pirate: We're done for... Damn it ! What did we ever do to you ! Why the hell do you have to follow us all the way out here !

Mihawk: ... Just to kill some time.

Pirate: That's bullshit !!

Pirate: Wha ?! I- It missed ?!

Zoro: He deflected it. It'll be the same no matter how many times you shoot. He changes the bullet's trajectory with the tip of his sword.

Pirate: W- Who're you, you bastard ?!

Zoro: I've never seen such graceful movements.

Mihawk: A sword without grace is no strong sword.

"Did you cut this ship with that sword of yours ?"

Mihawk: Yes, indeed.

Zoro: No wonder... You really are the strongest.

Pirate: T- Three swords... ?! Hey... Could this guy be... ?!

Zoro: I set sail to meet you !

Mihawk: ... What do you aim for ?

Zoro: To be the strongest. You said you're free, right ? So let's have a duel.

Pirate: It's him ! Zoro ! Roronoa Zoro of the three swords style !

Krieg: The pirate hunter ?

Sanji: Him... ?!

Mihawk: Pitiful, weakling. If you're a competent swordsman by any means, then I can demonstrate the clear difference in strength between you and I, without needing to cross blades at all. But still, you dare to challenge me. Does your bravery come from your conviction ? Or from ignorance ?

Zoro: It comes from my ambition, and a promise to a friend.

Nami: They were good people... I wonder if they'll count me as their friend, the next time we meet... I wonder if we can even meet again... ? I want to hurry up and become free, Belmer...

Zoro: To be honest, I never thought I'd be able to meet you so early on...

Mihawk: A waste, if you ask me.

Patty: The world's strongest swordsman, versus the pirate hunter Zoro...

Johnny: there's not a chance someone can match our bro !

'This fight... it will be beyond one-sided. We should get ready to patch up what will be left of Zoro...'

Krieg: That man... Just what did he do to this ship !

Zoro: Just what are you planning to do with that ?

Mihawk: I'm different from those stupid brutes who'd go all out just to hunt a mere rabbit. Though you may be a swordsman of some renown, this is East Blue, the weakest of the four seas that are separated by Red Line and Grand Line. Unfortunately, I do not have a blade smaller than this at the moment.

Zoro: there's a limit, to just how much you can underestimate me ! You better not regret it when you die !!

Mihawk: Hear me, little frog in his well. It's time for you to realize that The World is bigger than what it seems from your well.

Zoro: ONI !!

Luffy: Zoro ?

Johnny: Brother's "Oni Giri" was stopped ?! His signature attack that sends his opponents flying 100% was stopped ?!

Zoro: 'I... Can't move... There hasn't been a single man who could see through that move until now ! So how can he stop me with that toy... ?! This is ridiculous !!! It's not possible foe The World to be this far away !' ARGHHHH !!

Johnny: Come on, bro ! Show him what you've really got ! COME ON !!

Mihawk: Such ferocity...

Pirate: He's easily taking on Roronoa Zoro's 3 swords with that little thing !

Zoro: 'I didn't train so hard until today, just to fight against this stupid little toy...' I trained to win ! I came to beat this man !!

Mihawk: What burdens you so much ? What do you still desire at the extent of your strength, weakling ?

Yosaku: How dare you call our bro a weakling ?!

Johnny: We oughta teach you a lesson, you bastard !

"You two stay here and don't interfere. You're no match..."

Zoro: Gah !! TORA... GARI !!!

Johnny: BRO !!

Mihawk: ? Do you wish for me to pierce your heart ? Why do you refuse to step back ?

Zoro: beats me... Not really sure myself, but I get the feeling... That if I were to take even one step back right now, I'd lose something very important to me... A promise or oath, or whatever it is would be irreversibly broken, and that I'd never be able to return back to where I'm standing right now.

Mihawk: Yes, such is defeat.

Zoro: Haha... Then that's why I can't step back.

Mihawk: Even if it means your death... ?

Zoro: I'd much rather die.

Mihawk: 'What conviction he possesses ! To rather choose death than defeat...' Kid... tell me your name.

Zoro: Roronoa Zoro.

Mihawk: I shall remember it, for your strength is not often seen in this world. And to pay my respect to you as a fellow swordsman, I shall end this duel with my black sword, this world's strongest sword.

Pirates: He unsheathed it !! That sword he used to cut our ship with !

Zoro: 'So this is it, the final blow... if I miss here, I'll die... To be the world's strongest, or to die here and now...'

Mihawk: Die !

Johnny: Bro, that's enough ! Stop !!

Zoro: SENTÔRYUU OUGI !!

Zoro: 'I lost... I'm no match for him... Never even thought about the possibility of losing. So this is... the strength of The World's strongest... !'

Mihawk: What... ?

Zoro: A wound on one's back, is the shame of a swordsman.

Mihawk: Splendid.

Luffy: ZORO !!!
