Zoro: Whoever still want to arrest us, just come on and get it. Marines: !.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marines: Yahoo!! We are free!! Morgan's power has ended!! Go Marine!! Rufi: What is all about that cheering? Why are they so happy about Morgan losing? Kobi: Everyone did a bad thing because he is afraid of Morgan! Zoro fall down to the floor. Rufi: Zoro. Kobi: Zoro-san (san means Mr. or Miss in Japanese.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Rika's home. Zoro: I am full now!! Not eating for 9 days is really bad after all. Rufi: So, if you did not eat for a month, you could die. Zoro: How come you can still eat, even more than me? Kobi: We are really sorry to interrupt you. Rika's mom: That's o.k. because you have saved this town. Rika: You are really strong, Bro. Rufi: Sure, I am strong, and I will be stronger. Zoro: So, where are we gonna go next? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: I want to head to "Grand Line." Kobi: What? Are you still thinking about that? You only have 2 people. If you go to Grand Line now, it means suicide. Kobi: Did you realize that Grand Line is the center of all great pirates in the world? Zoro: Anyway, our goal is to conquer "One Piece", so we have to go to that place. Kobi: You, too? Zoro: You did not go with us. Why do you care? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: Even though I did not go with you, I am still worry about you. Can't you go? And if I care about both of you, what's wrong with that? Zoro: Not really.. Kobi: Rufi-san. Even though it's such a short time that we are together, we will be friend forever. Rufi: Yes. Even though we have to be apart, we are friend. Kobi: Since I was young, I've never had a true friend. Even the guy who fight for me, I've never seen such a person in my whole life!! Kobi: Because I did not like to fight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: But both of you have teach me how to live my life and follow my dream. Rufi: That's why I have to go to Grand Line. Zoro: Yes! That's true. Kobi: Oh! really? Kobi: Ah! No. I want to say that it's just too crazy to go there. Zoro: First of all, what about you? Kobi: Eh? Zoro: Even you were just a servant, but you have spent 2 years on Albeda's ship, right? Don't underestimate the power of Marine's information unit. If they knew about this, you cannot join the marine for sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant: Excuse me. Marines enter Rika's house. Lieutenant: Is that true that you are pirate? Rufi: Yes, we are. I just got one member, and after this we are thinking about becoming the greatest pirate of all. Lieutenant: It's true that you've helped us and this town, and we are very grateful for that. However, when we knew that you are pirate, we cannot act as nothing happen. Lieutenant: I want you to get out of this town as soon as possible. So, we don't have to report this to the main unit. Villagers: What do you mean? They are our hero who save us!! Compare to them, all of you just afraid of Morgan!! Rufi: Let's go. Thank you very much for your meal, ma'am. Kobi: Rufi-san Rika's mom: Are you leaving? Rufi and Zoro are leaving Rika's house and Kobi behind. Kobi: ....!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant: Are you their friend? Kobi: eh? errr... Kobi: I... err... I Kobi: (Rufi: We are still friend forever.) Kobi: I am not their friend. Rufi walk away with a smile. Lieutenant: Wait a minute, you two!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant: Is that true? Rufi: ..... Rufi: I knew about this guy's past. Kobi: eh? Rufi-san? Rufi: I don't know where. But there was a fat woman pirate named Albeda or something... Kobi: Wait... Please stop it.. (If they knew about my past, I cannot join a marine.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant: ...... Rufi: Oh! Your face turn pale? You know? This man has spent 2 years.... Kobi: (Please stop it!) Kobi: Stop it!!! Kobi punch Rufi's face. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone: ......!? Kobi: .....!? Zoro: Sigh.....! Rufi: You want to mess with me? Rufi fight back and beat Kobi up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rufi: Here! Eat this!! Lieutenant: Stop that!! If you don't quit now, we won't let you go peacefully. Zoro: That's enough! Do you want to kill him? Lieutenant: Quickly get out of this town, both of you!! I completely understand that he is not your friend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: (You pretend to be bad for me? You want me to hit you, right?) Rufi and Zoro walk away Kobi: (He's still helping me until the last minute.) Zoro: If you want to arrest us, just come and get us. Kobi: (He's never betrayed me. What have I thought?) Kobi: (If I am not fight now, I am really nut!!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: Please let me join the marine. I will do everything even become a servant!! Kobi: (Finally, I did it!!) Marine #1: Lieutenant, I object! Sorry but I just cannot trust him. Marine #1: There are many times that pirate just want to do this to spy on us. So we want to check your story, first. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: BUT I WAS BORN TO BECOME A MARINE GENERAL!!! Lieutenant: ..... Lieutenant: Don't think of marine as an easy job. We have fought with the pirate for many times. Welcome to the marine! Kobi: Sir! Thank you very much, Sir!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the port. Zoro: That's very good acting. Even though they knew, that would not be strange. Rufi: I think Kobi will do something about that for sure. Zoro: But to steal someone else' s boat, they will be mad at us. So, we are completely become a pirate now. Rufi: ha ha ha That's true. Kobi: Ru.. Ru... Rufi-san. Rufi: Kobi. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi: Thank you very much. I will never forget you. Zoro: I've never heard marine thank pirate before. Rufi: sshhh.... Rufi: See you later, Kobi!! Lieutenant: Everyone salute!! Kobi: eh? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lieutenant: They are really good friend. Kobi: Yes sir! Lieutenant: You are all guilty because of saluting pirates, so all of you must not eat for one week! All Marines: Yes sir!! Rufi: Let's go to Grand Line!! Narrator: Zoro has become the first member. But they've never realized that they have done a great mistake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
