## One Piece Chapter 5, pages 9-11: THE KING OF THE PIRATES AND THE MASTER SWORDSMAN - Chapter: 5 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Sensei, dojo students, Shimotsuki Kuina ### Summary Page 9: The flashback continues inside the dojo. The Sensei smiles gently at Zoro and says, "LOST AGAIN, EH, ZOLO? IT'S ODD BECAUSE YOU ARE ACTUALLY VERY STRONG." Zoro angrily points at him and yells, "SENSEI! ARE YOU TEACHING HER SECRET TRICKS BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER!?" The Sensei calmly replies, "OF COURSE NOT!" while the other students complain that it's not fair. Zoro hits the floor in frustration, crying out, "DARN! WHY CAN'T I BEAT THAT GIRL!?" The Sensei reminds him, "DON'T FORGET THAT KUINA IS A LITTLE OLDER THAN YOU." Zoro retorts, "BUT I CAN BEAT GROWN-UPS!" Filled with determination, Zoro yells, "I'M GOING TO SAIL THE SEAS AND BECOME THE GREATEST SWORD MASTER IN THE WORLD! I CAN'T KEEP LOSING TO THAT GIRL!" Page 10: Later that night, the flashback shows Zoro approaching Kuina outside the dojo while she is practicing her swings. She stops and looks at him, saying, "ZOLO..." Zoro stands before her holding two real swords and declares, "KUINA! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL... WITH REAL SWORDS!!" Kuina looks surprised for a moment before her expression turns serious. She replies, "REAL SWORDS? OKAY... YOU'RE NOT AFRAID OF REAL SWORDS, ARE YOU? IT'S YOUR FUNERAL." Zoro gets into his two-sword fighting stance and shouts, "ON GUARD!" Kuina readies her own sword and responds, "I'M READY!" Page 11: Under the bright moonlight, Zoro and Kuina clash fiercely with their real swords. They yell as they strike, the sound of metal ringing out in the night. Kuina moves swiftly, parrying Zoro's attacks and striking back with precision. With a powerful swing, she knocks both of Zoro's swords from his hands. The blades spin through the air and stick into the ground. Kuina points her sword at the defeated Zoro and declares, "THAT MAKES 2001 TIMES I'VE BEATEN YOU!" Zoro falls to his knees, gripping the dirt tightly. Tears stream down his face as he cries out, "DARN! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING!"
