Buchi glares down at Zoro. "YOU..." "LOST TO ME BEFORE..." "DON'T..." Buchi delivers a powerful kick directly to Zoro's midsection. "GET IN MY WAY!!" "SFX: DOKA!!" Zoro is sent flying backward from the force of the blow, crying out in pain. "ARGHH!!" Page 14: Zoro crashes hard onto the rocky ground. "SFX: BA-N!" He struggles to push himself up, bleeding and exhausted. "DAMN...!! I FEEL DIZZY, I CAN'T GET UP...!! BUT I MUST STOP THE ENEMIES...!!" Usopp watches Zoro fall in despair. "OH NO! HE..." Usopp then turns to his three young crewmates, his face serious, and calls, "USOPP PIRATE GROUP!!" The kids answer, "YES, CAPTAIN!!" Usopp starts to say, "I... I TOLD YOU..." but the kids interrupt him, insisting, "CAPTAIN, YOU'RE BADLY INJURED! WE CAN'T JUST RUN AWAY!!" and "WE WILL DESTROY YOUR ENEMIES!!" Page 15: Usopp's face is shown in a close-up, covered in blood and sweat, his eyes wide with desperate resolve. He screams his order: "PROTECT KAYA!!" Kaya looks at him, moved and worried. "USOPP-SAN..." Kuro watches the exchange coldly. Usopp, still lying on the ground, points toward the forest. "I'M GIVING YOU THE MOST IMPORTANT TASK!" "TAKE KAYA AWAY FROM HERE SAFELY!"
