## One Piece Chapter 440, pages 3-4: Fire Fist vs. Blackbeard - Chapter: 440 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Kaya, Usopp, Ninjin, Piiman, Tamanegi, Roronoa Zoro, Koushirou ### Summary Page 3: In Syrup Village, Usopp's hometown, Kaya reads the news and recognizes the truth immediately: "'KING OF SHARP-SHOOTERS'...!! IT'S REAL!!" She says, "NO DOUBT, IT'S USOPP-SAN!!" Usopp's old friends stare at Sogeking's wanted poster and argue that the nose proves it: "THIS NOSE HAS GOTTA BE THE CAPTAIN'S!!" "RIGHT--!!?" They insist, "NO ONE IN THE VILLAGE BELIEVED US!!" and "THEY DON'T KNOW HOW AMAZING THE CAPTAIN IS!!" because "THE CAPTAIN IS A MAN WHO CAN CHANGE LIES INTO THE TRUTH!!" Kaya says she wants to become "A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL AS SOON AS I CAN... SO THAT I CAN HEAL USOPP-SAN WHEN HE COMES BACK, REGARDLESS OF WHAT INJURIES HE HAS!!" The boys play pirates in the village, shouting, "THE MASK LOOKS SO COOL," while Kaya leaves to study: "I'M GOING BACK TO CONTINUE STUDYING TO BE A DOCTOR!" Page 4: In Shimotsuki Village, Zoro's old dojo learns that the pirate hunter once trained there. A child reports, "THAT PIRATE HUNTER ZORO WAS A STUDENT OF THIS DOJO!?" and the students swarm the teacher: "SENSEI, SENSEI!! IS IT TRUE?" Koushirou answers calmly, "... YES. IT'S TRUE." The children are thrilled: "EEEH!? WHY NOT!!? HE'S SUPER COOL!!" and "TEACH US HOW TO BE PIRATES, TOO!!" Koushirou refuses: "BUT YOU SHOULDN'T ADMIRE HIM. I DON'T TEACH HOW TO BE A PIRATE." One child says, "FOR REAL? DON'T LIE TO US, SENSEI!!" and another admits, "WHOA, I WANT TO BE A SWORDSMAN LIKE HIM, TOO." Koushirou accepts only that part: "AS LONG AS YOU TREASURE YOUR SWORDSMANSHIP, THAT'S ENOUGH... WHOMEVER YOU BECOME..." In private, he smiles and thinks, "THE JUDICIAL ISLAND INCIDENT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE, BUT ZORO-KUN, I DON'T SEE ANY DOUBT IN YOU."
