## One Piece Chapter 5.3, pages 10-12: THE PIRATE KING AND THE GREAT SWORDSMAN - Chapter: 5.3 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, dojo master, dojo adults, Shimotsuki Kuina ### Summary Page 10: In the dojo, the adult students tease the sensei, Kuina's father. 'Sensei!! You've been secretly training her because she's your daughter right?!! Don't lie to us!' The sensei laughs and denies it, 'No, no such thing!' He then looks at Zoro and says, 'What a pity, Zoro. You lost again?' Zoro points at the sensei and yells, 'Sensei! Even adults can't beat me. But Zoro, Kuina is older than you.' Zoro, furious, slams his bamboo swords onto the floor, shouting, 'Why can't I defeat her?!!! Damn!!!' The scene shifts to Zoro training intensely by himself, lifting heavy boulders while sweating profusely. He declares with fierce determination, 'I want to sail and become the world's number one swordsman. I won't lose to anyone ever again!!!' Page 11: Later that night, under a full moon, Kuina is practicing her swings alone in the courtyard. Zoro approaches her, holding two real katanas. He calls out, 'Kuina!! Duel with me with a katana!!! I've brought real katanas!' Kuina looks surprised for a moment, then smiles confidently. 'With me? Okay.' She draws her own katana and takes a stance. 'Come on!!' Zoro charges at her, yelling, 'Let's go!' Page 12: Zoro and Kuina clash their real swords under the bright moonlight. Sparks fly as their blades meet. They leap into the air, striking at each other. In a swift motion, Kuina overpowers Zoro, knocking his swords out of his hands. The katanas fly into the air and stick into the ground. Kuina stands over a fallen Zoro, pointing her blade at his face, and declares, 'My... 2001st victory.' Zoro lies on his back, covering his face with his arm, tears streaming down his cheeks. He grinds his teeth and sobs, 'Damn...!!! I don't believe this!'
