Ch 05:: Pirate King and Master Swordsman
✨Pirate King and Master Swordsman✨
**Finding Zoro’s Swords**
Luffy and Zoro are in the Marine base after defeating Captain Morgan.
The battle is over, but the aftermath is still tense.
Zoro looks at Luffy, impressed yet uncertain.
Zoro 🗡️
(serious) So, you actually got my swords.
Luffy holds up the bundle of swords with a grin, the blades wrapped carefully.
Luffy
(cheerfully) Yep! I told you I would. Here!
He tosses the swords to Zoro, who catches them effortlessly.
Zoro 🗡️
(smirking) Guess I don’t have a choice now, do I?
As Zoro straps on his swords, his mind drifts to memories of his past.
The scene shifts to a dojo in Shimotsuki Village.
A young Zoro is seen training fiercely, sweat pouring down his face.
Young Zoro
(panting) I won’t lose! Not to anyone!
A girl named Kuina, older and more skilled, steps into the frame, easily defeating Zoro in a sparring match.
Kuina
(calmly) You’re strong, Zoro, but not strong enough.
Young Zoro
(frustrated) One day, I’ll beat you, Kuina!
Young Zoro
I’ll become the greatest swordsman in the world!
Later, Zoro and Kuina talk outside the dojo, their swords resting by their sides.
Kuina
(sadly) It’s not fair.
Kuina
No matter how much I train, because I’m a girl.
Kuina
I’ll never be considered the strongest.
Young Zoro
(determined) Then we’ll both become the strongest.
Young Zoro
We’ll fight and see who’s better, no matter what.
The flashback shifts to a tragic scene where Zoro kneels in front of Kuina’s grave, tears streaming down his face.
Zoro 🗡️
(vowing) I’ll fulfill our promise, Kuina.
Zoro 🗡️
I’ll become the world’s greatest swordsman in your place.
Zoro 🗡️
That’s my dream, and I won’t let anything stop me.
Back in the present, Helmeppo, trying to prove his worth, picks up a Marine rifle and aims it at Luffy and Zoro.
Helmeppo
(desperately) You think you can just walk away?
Helmeppo
I’ll make you pay!
He fires the rifle, but the bullets bounce harmlessly off Luffy, who looks more amused than anything.
Luffy
(laughing) Bullets don’t work on me, idiot.
Zoro 🗡️
(drawing) one of his swords You really don’t know when to quit, do you?
With a swift motion, Zoro slices through the rifle, leaving Helmeppo shaking in fear.
Helmeppo
(terrified) W-what are you?
Zoro 🗡️
(smirking) Just a guy who keeps his promises.
After the scuffle, Zoro looks at Luffy, finally making up his mind.
Zoro 🗡️
(resigned) but determined Looks like I’ve got no choice.
Zoro 🗡️
I’ll join your crew, Luffy. But remember, I have my own goal.
Zoro 🗡️
I’m going to become the world’s greatest swordsman.
Zoro 🗡️
If you ever get in the way of that, you’re dead.
Luffy
(grinning widely) Deal!
Luffy
I’m gonna be King of the Pirates, so we’ll both get what we want!
Koby watches from a distance, both amazed and a bit sad as Luffy and Zoro walk towards their new adventure.
Coby
(to himself) Luffy… Zoro… You guys are really something.
Coby
I hope I can be that strong one day too.
With the Marines defeated and Shells Town behind them, Luffy and Zoro prepare to set sail on their small boat.
The townsfolk watch, some relieved, some in awe.
Rika
(waving) Thank you, Zoro! Thank you, Luffy!
Luffy
(waving back) See you, Rika! We’ll be back someday!
As they sail away, the sun sets on Shells Town, and the two new crewmates stand side by side on the boat.
Zoro 🗡️
(serious) So, where to next?
Luffy
(excitedly) To the Grand Line!
We’re going to find the One Piece and become legends!
Zoro 🗡️
(smirking) Just don’t get in the way of my goal, and we’ll be fine.
The two laugh as they sail into the horizon, the beginning of their adventure just starting.
