Luffy, Usopp, Yosaku, Johnny, Don Krieg, Baratie cooks, Kuina ### Summary Page 0: The cover page features the chapter title, "CHAPTER 51 'RORONOA ZORO FALLS INTO THE SEA'". Below it is an illustration of Alvida and Buggy the Clown. Alvida is holding a flintlock pistol and smiling, wearing a large pirate hat and a long coat over a bikini top. Buggy stands next to her, laughing maniacally with his arms crossed. The text at the bottom reads, "ADVENTURES OF THE BUGGY CREW VOL. 12 'A MYSTERIOUS FEMALE PIRATE APPEARS'". Page 1: Zoro stands on the floating wooden debris of the destroyed galleon, facing the tall, imposing figure of Dracule Mihawk, who has his back turned. Mihawk carries a massive, cross-shaped black sword on his back. Mihawk says calmly, "A waste, if you ask me." Zoro, holding a sword in each hand and one in his mouth, replies with a determined grin, "I never thought I'd be able to meet you so early on... To be honest," Page 2: Zoro finishes his sentence, "Versus the pirate hunter Zoro...! The world's strongest swordsman," On the balcony of the Baratie restaurant ship, Zeff and the other cooks watch the confrontation in stunned silence. Nearby, Luffy, Usopp, Yosaku, and Johnny observe from a small boat. Yosaku and Johnny insist, "There's not a chance someone can match our bro!" while Luffy watches intently. Don Krieg is shown sitting amidst the wreckage of his massive galleon, sweating and gritting his teeth in disbelief. He mutters, "That man... Just what did he do to this ship...!" Page 3: Zoro ties his dark bandana tightly around his head, preparing for battle. Mihawk watches him and asks, "Just what're you planning to do with that?" With a sharp "SHING", Mihawk draws a tiny, cross-shaped knife from a pendant around his neck. He holds it up and says, "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." A map of the world is displayed, showing the North Blue, West Blue, South Blue, East Blue, the Red Line, and the Grand Line. Page 4: Zoro glares angrily, biting down hard on his sword. "To just how much you can underestimate me...!" Mihawk holds up the tiny knife, his expression unreadable. "There's a limit, unfortunately, I do not have a blade smaller than this at the moment." Zoro charges forward with incredible speed, his swords poised to strike. "You better not regret it when you die! ONI! (demon)" Mihawk stands completely still, holding the small knife out defensively. "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." Page 5: Zoro unleashes his powerful attack with a loud "GIRI! (cut)". However, the impact is abruptly halted. Mihawk has perfectly blocked the tips of all three of Zoro's swords using only the point of his tiny knife. Zoro's eyes widen in absolute shock as he realizes his attack has been stopped dead in its tracks. "!!? AH...!" Page 6: Mihawk effortlessly holds Zoro's three swords at bay with the small blade. Yosaku and Johnny scream in disbelief, "Brother's 'Oni Giri' was stopped! His signature attack that sends his opponents flying 100% was stopped!?" Luffy looks on, stunned, muttering, "Zoro?" Zoro struggles, sweating profusely as he tries to push forward against the tiny knife. "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!!!" Mihawk looks back at him with piercing, calm eyes. Page 7: Zoro desperately swings his swords in a flurry of rapid, heavy attacks. "It's not possible for the world to be this far away! ARGHHHH!" Mihawk casually deflects every single strike with the tiny knife, the metal clashing repeatedly as he easily parries the blows. Zoro grunts in frustration, pushing himself to the limit. "Ugh! ARGHHHH! There shouldn't be such a vast difference between us! There can't be!" Page 8: Mihawk continues to easily parry Zoro's frantic assaults, noting, "Such ferocity..." Johnny and Yosaku cheer him on enthusiastically, "Come on, bro! Show him what you've really got! Come on!" The Baratie cooks watch in awe as Mihawk dodges and blocks. "He's easily taking on Roronoa Zoro's 3 swords with that little thing!" Zoro remembers why he trained: "I didn't train so hard until today, just to fight against this stupid little toy...! I trained to win!" The memory shifts to young Kuina, who says, "You're lucky you're a boy, Zoro....I wanted to become the world's best too!" Page 9: The flashback continues with young Zoro and Kuina making a promise. Kuina says, "Someday, one of us will become the world's greatest swordsman! Let's compete to see which of us will be that per...
