100 BOUNTY-HUNTERS

A wide view of a cactus-filled town at dusk shows a small ship docked at the canal. Speech bubbles drift across the sky: “DISAPPEAR OFF TO NOW…” and “WHERE DID THAT SWORDSMAN,”. Below, a group of Baroque Works agents stand together. A man in a black suit with a saxophone asks, “ALL BY HIMSELFI”. A tall woman in a checkered dress and a woman wearing a crown stand nearby while another agent grips a staff. A final bubble wonders, “IS HE SERIOUSLY PLANNING TO TAKE ON ALL OF US,”.

Inside a wooden building, Roronoa Zoro stands with arms crossed, swords at his side. Narration notes, “THE POWER OF BAROQUE WORKS.” and “IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE HE TRULY UNDERSTANDS,”. The next panel shows the interior in chaos: barrels, a tipped table, and several unconscious figures sprawled on the floor. In the foreground Sanji grins while holding up a bottle, declaring, “NO NEED TO HOLD ANYTHING BACK, BOYS.” and “NOW THEN… THIS’LL BE AN EXCELLENT CHANCE TO TEST OUT MY NEW BOYS.” Sound effects and motion lines emphasize the sudden movement.

Zoro stands ready with swords drawn as a tiny figure leaps overhead shouting “I FOUND HIM!” and “YEEHAW!”. Impact lines and debris explode as the small attacker is sent flying. Close-ups show Zoro’s intense glare and the surprised faces of two Baroque Works agents. One yells, “HMPH! HE ROLLED INTO THE HOUSE…!” while large onomatopoeia “ゴロゴロ…!!” and “ジャキン!!” mark the rolling and clashing sounds. The final panel shows the small figure tumbling away down a staircase.

Inside the tavern, Roronoa Zoro drops into a low crouch amid spilled liquid and scattered swords as a loud "チャチャ...!!" rings out. He snaps his head up with a sharp "HM!I" Two Baroque Works agents in the doorway level large firearms and open fire. One bullet strikes a fleeing figure, who cries "AGH!" as the impact sends him sprawling. In the next instant Zoro lunges forward in a blur of motion, blades flashing while massive onomatopoeia "ドドドドドドドド!!" explodes across the page, showing him evading the gunfire and closing the distance on his attackers.

Zoro draws one of his swords in a lightning-fast motion, the blade slicing through the air with a huge "ズバババババ!!" effect. An agent recoils in shock, shouting "AH...!" and "!!I" as the strike lands. In close-up Zoro grins fiercely and declares "YUBASHIRI...!" while the panel reads "FIRST UP IS..." The lower half of the page erupts into chaos as the agents are hurled backward by the force of the attack, debris and motion lines filling the tavern floor.

The two agents sit stunned, question marks floating above their heads. Zoro, already moving outside, spots his next target and calls "I SEE HIM! HE'S OVER THERE!" while thinking "OH, I'VE BEEN SPOTTED." A close-up shows him admiring the drawn blade: "A FINE BLADE INDEED... VERY LIGHT!" From the rooftop an unseen gunman yells "EAT THIS!" and opens fire, the bullets marked by "タッ タッ タッ!" and "ズバババ!!" as Zoro continues his advance through the streets.

Zoro is sent flying by a massive cannonball impact, the huge "オオオオオオ!!" effect dominating the panel as he shouts "WHOA!" Below, a woman in a checkered outfit roars "WOOOOHHHH!" while an agent remarks "HMI" and another laughs "HAHAHA, THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU'LL GET." A voice notes "THAT WAS CLOSE." Zoro lands in a crouch and calls out "MISS MONDAY!" as the woman hurls a barrel toward the remaining foes amid swirling dust and impact lines.

A massive barrel erupts in a violent explosion with the sound ZUBOOM!! as debris flies. In the chaos, a swordsman lunges forward with a blade while shouting, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT AND JUST KILL HIM!" and another voice roars "オオオオ". Below, Roronoa Zoro sits amid scattered barrels and fallen foes, calmly noting, "WHAT A WASTE OF SUCH FINE LIQUOR..." with a resigned "SIGH...". Enemies with barrels and blades surround him. Zoro suddenly draws and swings his sword in a sharp motion "ばっ!!", striking one attacker who reels back screaming "H A H H H! WHY YOU...!" as another gasps "AH!" in shock. The fight rages through the narrow streets with spilled liquor and clashing steel.

Roronoa Zoro's blade slices through the air with a sharp "SLIDE" and a quiet "AH." as he cuts down an opponent. He reflects on his weapon: "A MASTERWORK BLADE ONLY CUTS WHEN ITS USER WISHES TO CUT SOMETHING... THIS SANDAI KITETSU HAS SOME SHARP EDGE... THIS ONE'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM CHILD, ALRIGHT...!" In the next instant he strikes again, the blade flashing "ズバン" through an enemy's weapon with a cry of "GUH!" and "WHA...". Monkey D. Luffy suddenly appears in the fray, arms raised in surprise as an attack lands "ACK!" and another fighter yells "YAHHAH!". A nearby voice reacts with "HUHI" as the battle intensifies around the swordsman and the straw-hatted boy.

A hooded woman brandishes a large cross-shaped weapon, declaring "THE LORD'S MERCIFUL BINDING!" while townspeople pray "MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON US!" and scream "W A H H H H!". Roronoa Zoro clashes with the hooded gunwoman who warns, "IF YOU'RE GONNA PULL A TRICK LIKE THAT, DO IT ON A MORE GULLIBLE CHAP WITH A PURE HEART." She fires as Zoro dodges with "AH...!". Below, more hooded figures shout "CHASE AFTER HIM! THAT IDIOT! HE'S CLIMBING UP AGAIN!" while Zoro leaps onto a ladder, blade drawn. A voice from the ground calls out, "I HIT THEM WITH THE BACK OF MY BLADE. THAT'S AS MUCH MERCY YOU'LL GET FROM ME." The pursuit moves upward toward the church tower.

Panic erupts as ladders collapse with a grinding "ギシ...ギシ" and a loud "ドビーン!!". A voice cries "WHA!I" while another shouts "THERE'S NO PLACE FOR YOU TO RUN AWAY TO UP THERE!" amid wild laughter "HA HA HA HA HA!". The entire structure gives way in a massive crash "バキ バキ" sending fighters tumbling through the air with screams of "GAH-HHH-HH-HH!" and "HNGHH!". From below, someone yells "AGH! THE LADDERS ARE ALL FALLING DOWN!" as bodies and debris rain down. Zoro stands amid the falling chaos, sword ready, while Monkey D. Luffy and other fighters react with shock "AH..." and "!!!!I" as the tower assault turns into total disorder.

A man with spiky hair leaps high from a collapsing wooden structure, kicking powerfully as ladders and scaffolding crumble beneath him. Below, several figures tumble and cry out "AGHHH...!". In a smaller panel, the same man swings through the air on a rope while an opponent shouts "HUHI". The scene shifts to a wide view of a town at night under a full moon. The man soars through the air toward the buildings as voices yell "HE'S COMING THIS WAY!" and "WHATI". On the ground, shocked townspeople including a man in a top hat react with "SHOOK!" as massive impact lines and debris fill the air with the sound "GAHHHHHHHH!".

The spiky-haired swordsman glares intensely in close-up, declaring "TWO SWORDS STYLE...". A massive slash erupts across the street with the cry "TAKA-NAMI!! (hawk wave)" as the attack sends multiple agents flying amid huge impact effects and debris. One agent screams "AGHH...". In the aftermath, the swordsman stands with swords drawn, sweat dropping as he mutters "CUT". An opponent nearby gasps "DAHH-HHHH!" while the dust settles.

Several female fighters with claw weapons and a checkered-outfit fighter leap into action. One shouts "CUT..." as the swordsman below slices the floor. A large panel shows the floor giving way with a massive crash "ZUBOOOO!!" and the warning "CAREFUL NOW. THE FLOOR RIGHT THERE HAS BEEN CUT THROUGH." Agents tumble into the hole amid smoke and debris while one yells "KYAAA!". The swordsman stands calmly with crossed blades as the checkered fighter is sent flying. In a close-up, the swordsman reacts with "...!".

The checkered-outfit fighter is hurled violently through the air with a massive impact "!!" and the cry "SWING!". In the next sequence the same fighter lands a powerful punch labeled "SUPER-HUMAN" that sends the swordsman reeling. Close-ups show the swordsman sweating and declaring "THAT WAS TOO CLOSE!" while the checkered fighter grins and another figure reacts with "...!" amid motion lines and debris.

The checkered-outfit man launches a devastating spinning attack, slamming his opponent into the ground with a massive impact. "FLOUR-GRINDER!" he roars as the force cracks the floor and sends debris flying. Close-ups show gritted teeth and a shocked bearded face reacting to the blow. The victim is hurled backward in a huge explosion of smoke and debris, accompanied by the massive sound effect "ベコォォォ..." and smaller cracks "ピキィ...". In the town square below, Baroque Works agents stand among buildings and a striped tower, complaining loudly. One says "WASTE SO MUCH TIME...", another sings "MA-MA-MAA~♪", while a third gripes "MAKING US WASTED AHEM!" as they wait impatiently.

Shock ripples through the onlookers as someone yells "WHAT!I" and "M-MISS MONDAY!I" A massive close-up shows a screaming face with "GYAAAAA!" The curly-haired man with earrings now dominates the fight, gripping his opponent by the head. "WHERE'S THAT STRENGTH THAT YOU'RE SO PROUD OF...I" he taunts as the checkered man struggles, sweat flying, with sound effects "×+... ×+...!!" and "AGHHH!". The beaten fighter is sent flying across the square. "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" cries a witness. Another exclaims "AGHHH! HE BEAT MISS MONDAY IN PURE STRENGTH!" as the defeated man lies battered on the ground.

The curly-haired man, bloodied but calm, smirks and declares "A FIGHT'S NO MERE GAME, YOU KNOW. SHALL WE CONTINUE, BAROQUE WORKSI" Nearby agents react: the woman with a ponytail says "NO WONDER... I SEE... THEN LET US ACT ACCORDINGLY...", while a curly-haired man realizes "OF COURSE! I CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND IF HE WAS THE ONE WORTH 30 MILLION BELL..." and another shouts "THAT WANTED POSTER MUST BE A MISTAKE ON THE MARINES' PART!...I GOT IT!". Luffy lies asleep in the foreground, snoring "zzzzz", as an agent mutters "THAT THEIR GRINNING IDIOT OF A CAPTAIN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORTH 30 MILLION... IS THERE ANY MORE MEAT LEFT...I" The page ends with the caption "12 'THE LEGEND HAS BEGUN' (END)".
