## One Piece Chapter 417, pages 10-13: Ashura - Chapter: 417 - Pages: 10-13 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Kaku ### Summary Page 10: Zoro smiles grimly and says that "NOT ONE OF THEM IS A GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO DEFEAT ME!!!" Kaku shifts into "SANTOU-RYUU" with a leopard-labeled move, "HYOU!!!" then follows with "KIN!!!"--noted as koto, a Japanese music instrument--and "DAMA!!!" A note explains that hyoukin-dama means humorous person. Kaku launches himself like a ball toward Zoro, and Zoro realizes, "HE'S GOING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF TOWARDS ME!!!" The clash becomes a contest not of species trivia, but of whether Kaku's creativity can overpower Zoro's resolve. Page 11: Kaku spins into "KANIE!!!" and uses his compressed body to hurl himself in a violent arc. Zoro is caught by the impact and cries, "OWEE!!!" while Kaku's strike batters him through the air. Kaku thinks, "NO WAY!! I READ HIS ATTACK...!!" but Zoro, even after taking the blow, watches carefully and asks himself, "DID HE ANTICIPATE MY MOVE?" The room shakes with the force of their collision as Kaku keeps pressing and Zoro refuses to lose track of the pattern. Page 12: Kaku decides, "I GUESS I LOOKED DOWN ON YOU A LITTLE...!! BUT THIS IS IT!! I WON'T GIVE YOU ANY MORE OPENINGS...!!!" He releases "RANKYAKU SHURIKEN!!!" and sends spinning slashes flying across the chamber like thrown blades. Zoro cuts through the first assault, but Kaku follows with "KILIMANJARO!!!" and slams into him again. The blows crash against the ruined walls with "DOH!!!" and Zoro's stance is forced lower, yet he keeps his swords between himself and the oncoming giraffe-man. Page 13: Kaku's neck twists into another whip-like attack. He says, "DAMN IT...!! THIS NECK CAN ALSO TURN INTO A WHIP...!!" and names "HENCHIKIRIN!!!" A note explains it as "whip bamboo forest," a pun with absurd and fierce bamboo forest. Zoro coughs from the pressure while Kaku increases the speed: "I'LL INCREASE THE SPEED...!!" He follows with "MOUCHI-KIRIN!!!" and lashes the battlefield repeatedly, the long neck striking through smoke and shattered stone until Zoro is forced to guard under a storm of impacts.
