100 BOUNTY-HUNTERS

A wide shot shows the town of Whisky Peak, nestled among giant, spherical, cactus-like mountains. A voice wonders, "Where did that swordsman, disappear off to now..." Below, a large group of Baroque Works bounty hunters is gathered in the street, armed with various weapons. In the front stand several prominent figures: a man with saxophone-shaped hair, a woman with blue hair, and a man wearing a crown. A voice from the crowd asks, "Is he seriously planning to take on all of us, all by himself?"

Zoro sits on a rooftop, looking down at the town with a serious expression. He thinks, "The power of Baroque Works. It doesn't seem like he truly understands," Inside a building, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp are fast asleep on the floor and a table. They have massive, bloated bellies from overeating and drinking, snoring loudly with "Zzz" sounds. Back on the roof, Zoro draws one of his swords slightly from its scabbard with a "CHAK..." sound. He smirks and thinks, "Now then... This'll be an excellent chance to test out my new boys. No need to hold anything back, boys."

Zoro is spotted on the roof. A bounty hunter yells, "I found him!" Another shouts, "Yeehaw!" as they aim guns at him. Zoro quickly draws two swords and slashes downward with a "SHING!!" sound. The powerful strike cuts right through the roof. The bounty hunters fall through the collapsing structure with a loud crash and a cloud of dust. One of the falling men grunts, "Hmph! He rolled into the house...!"

Zoro lands inside the house, crouching on the floorboards with his swords ready. He hears a "HM!?" and looks up. Through a doorway, two bounty hunters are aiming pistols at him. They open fire, and Zoro quickly dodges, rolling out of the way as a barrage of bullets tears up the wooden floor where he just was, accompanied by loud "RAT-A-TAT-TAT!!" sound effects.

Zoro dashes forward toward the gunmen. He draws a sword and slashes them with a swift motion, saying, "First up is... Yubashiri...!" The two gunmen are struck and sent flying backward with a sharp "ZAAAP!!" sound. Zoro doesn't stop; he continues his fluid movement, leaving a trail of defeated bounty hunters falling behind him as he moves through the building.

More bounty hunters spot Zoro. "I see him! He's over there!" Zoro runs past them, smiling confidently. "Oh, I've been spotted." He slashes through another group with a "SWISH!!" sound, sending them flying. He looks at his sword, Yubashiri, and remarks, "A fine blade indeed... Very light!" Suddenly, a bounty hunter aims a large bazooka at him from behind. "Eat this!" Zoro quickly runs up a nearby wooden ladder to escape. The bounty hunters below yell, "He's going up!"

Zoro leaps from the ladder just as the bazooka fires. The large black cannonball narrowly misses him, flying past with a "WHOOSH!" Zoro thinks, "Whoa! That was close." He lands safely on a higher level. Suddenly, Miss Monday throws a heavy barrel at him. "Hahaha, this is as far as you'll get." Zoro looks back with a "Hm?" Another bounty hunter yells her name, "Miss Monday!"

Zoro effortlessly slices the flying barrel into pieces with a "SLASH!!" sound. He looks at the spilled contents and says, "What a waste of such fine liquor... Sigh..." Miss Monday is shocked and angered. "Ah! Why you...!" Zoro then turns his attention to a group of bounty hunters charging at him with swords and shields. One of them yells, "Don't worry about that and just kill him!" Zoro readies his swords to meet their attack.

Zoro draws another sword and slashes through the charging group. He cuts right through their weapons and shields. He observes the blade, "This Sandai Kitetsu has some sharp edge... This one cut through a stone axe! A masterwork blade only cuts when its user wishes to cut something... This one's gonna be a problem child, alright...!" He continues fighting, easily dodging and striking the bounty hunters. One tries to attack him, but Zoro swiftly counters, sending the man flying with an "ACK!"

A nun holds up a cross that emits a blinding light or gas. "The Lord's merciful blinding! May the Lord have mercy on us!" Zoro covers his eyes. A small child pops out from under the nun's habit, aiming a gun at Zoro. Zoro quickly strikes them both with the back of his sword. "If you're gonna pull a trick like that, do it on a more gullible chap with a pure heart. I hit them with the back of my blade. That's as much mercy you'll get from me." Zoro then climbs another ladder. The remaining bounty hunters yell, "He's climbing up again! That idiot! Chase after him!"

Zoro reaches the top of the ladder as the bounty hunters below laugh, "There's no place for you to run away to up there! Ha ha ha ha!" With a grin, Zoro knocks the ladder away. The ladder falls backward, taking a large group of climbing bounty hunters down with it. They tumble to the ground with cries of "Gah-hhh-hh!" and "Agh! The ladders are all falling down!" Zoro watches them fall, looking amused.

Zoro leaps off the roof, calling out "Hop!" The bounty hunters below look up in confusion. "Huh? Wha!?" As Zoro falls towards them, they panic. "He's coming this way! Shoot!" They raise their guns and fire a barrage of bullets up at him, filling the air with "RAT-A-TAT-TAT!!" sounds.

Zoro lands amidst the crowd of bounty hunters. He readies two swords and announces his attack: "Two Swords Style... Taka-Nami! (Hawk Wave)". He unleashes a powerful, spinning slash that creates a massive shockwave. The force of the attack blows away a large group of bounty hunters, sending them flying through the air with cries of "Aghh..." and "Dahh-hhhh!" Zoro stands calmly after the attack.

More bounty hunters leap down from above to attack Zoro. He stands still and warns them, "Careful now. The floor right there has been cut through." Before they can reach him, the floor beneath them collapses, and they fall through the hole with screams of "Kyaaa!". Zoro stands amidst the dust and debris. Suddenly, a large figure drops down from above, landing heavily behind him.

The large figure is Miss Monday. She swings a massive wooden pillar at Zoro. "Swing!" Zoro dodges, and the pillar smashes into the ground, creating a crater. Miss Monday then throws a powerful punch at him. "Super-human..." Zoro barely manages to dodge the massive fist. "That was too close!" Before he can react further, Miss Monday grabs Zoro's head with her large hand.

Miss Monday violently slams Zoro's head into the ground. "Flour-Grinder!" The impact creates a large crater and a cloud of dust. From a distance, Igaram watches the fight and clears his throat, "Making us wast- ahem! Ma-ma-maa~ Waste so much time..."

The bounty hunters cheer for Miss Monday. "M-Miss Monday!?" "What!?" Suddenly, Miss Monday screams in agony. "Gyaaaaaaa!" Zoro has grabbed her hand, which is still gripping his head, and is squeezing it with immense force. Blood drips from his forehead. He asks, "What's wrong? Where's that strength that you're so proud of...?" He crushes her grip, and she falls to her knees, completely defeated. The bounty hunters are shocked. "Aghhh! He beat Miss Monday in pure strength! That's impossible!"

Zoro stands up, blood running down his face from the head wound, but he wears a fierce, confident grin. "A fight's no mere game, you know. Shall we continue, Baroque Works?" Igaram, Miss Wednesday, and Mr. 9 look on in shock. Mr. 9 realizes something: "That wanted poster must be a mistake on the Marines' part!...I got it! He must be their real captain! Of course! I can certainly understand if he was the one worth 30 million Beli..." Miss Wednesday agrees, "I see... Then let us act accordingly... No wonder..." The scene cuts briefly to Luffy, still fast asleep and snoring with a snot bubble. A voiceover says, "I thought it was quite strange, that their grinning idiot of a captain was supposed to be worth 30 million...! Is there any more meat left...?" At the bottom, text reads: "12 'THE LEGEND HAS BEGUN' (END)".
