## One Piece Chapter 5, pages 15-18: THE KING OF THE PIRATES AND THE MASTER SWORDSMAN - Chapter: 5 - Pages: 15-18 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Marines, Monkey D. Luffy, Morgan, Koby ### Summary Page 15: Back in the present, Zoro stares down the Marine firing squad. Sweat drips from his face as he remembers his vow, thinking, "I PROMISED HER! I CAN'T DIE YET!!" Up in the Marine base, Luffy stretches his arms far out the window, holding the three swords he found. He calls out his attack, "GUM-GUM..." Down below, Captain Morgan roars the order, "FIRE!!!" Just as the Marines pull their triggers, Luffy launches himself out the window, shouting, "...ROCKET!!" He flies through the air directly toward the execution yard. Page 16: Luffy lands squarely in front of Zoro and Koby just as the Marines fire their rifles. The bullets strike Luffy's body with a series of "BAP BAP BAP" sounds, but instead of piercing him, they stretch his rubber skin backward. Zoro and Koby stare in absolute shock at the impossible sight. Zoro gasps, "YOU!?" while Koby yells, "LUFFY!!!" Captain Morgan and his Marines are equally horrified, their eyes wide with disbelief as Morgan mutters, "STRAW HAT..." Page 17: Luffy's stretched rubber body violently snaps back to its original shape, reflecting all the bullets back at the Marines. He proudly declares, "BULLETS CAN'T HURT ME!!" The ricocheting bullets tear through the yard, causing the Marines to panic and dive for cover, screaming, "LOOK OUT!!!" As the Marines fall over each other in chaos, Luffy stands tall, throwing his head back and laughing uproariously, "HA HA HA HA HA!!!" Page 18: Zoro looks at Luffy in disbelief and asks, "WHAT ARE YOU!?" Luffy smiles confidently and replies, "I'M THE GUY... WHO'S GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES!!!" He then holds out the three swords he brought and asks, "SO WHICH SWORDS ARE YOURS? I DIDN'T KNOW, SO I BROUGHT ALL THREE..." Zoro smiles, revealing, "THEY'RE ALL MINE. I PRACTICE SANTORYU-- THREE-SWORD STYLE." Luffy gives him an ultimatum: "IF YOU FIGHT THE NAVY WITH ME HERE AND NOW, IN THE EYES OF THE GOVERNMENT, YOU'LL BE ONE OF THE BAD GUYS! OF COURSE, YOU COULD OBEY THE LAW... AND LET THEM KILL YOU!" Zoro smirks and says, "YOU MUST BE DEMON SPAWN... BUT I'M NOT READY TO DIE WITHOUT A FIGHT! ALL RIGHT! YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A PIRATE!!!"
