One Piece Chapter 38, page 10-11: PIRATE FLEET

Back at the slope, the Black Cat Pirates try to reason with Kuro, saying, "PLEASE STOP JOKING, CAPTAIN KURO!! IT'S STILL NOT TOO LATE TO ATTACK THE VILLAGE!! AS LONG AS JANGO CAN MAKE THAT GIRL WRITE THE WILL, THE PLAN CAN STILL SUCCEED!!" Kuro coldly replies, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE PLAN. AS LONG AS YOUR CORPSES ARE HERE, I CAN PLACE ALL THE BLAME ON YOU. I NEVER INTENDED TO LET ANY OF YOU LEAVE THE VILLAGE ALIVE. IT WOULD BE TO MY DISADVANTAGE TO LET ANYONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT MY PLANS LIVE.

The pirates are horrified to realize Kuro planned to massacre them from the very beginning. Kuro confirms, "YES, EVER SINCE THREE YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS STILL CAPTAIN KURO...!! ALL THIS WAS PART OF MY 'PLAN'!!!" Luffy calls them a "BUNCH OF LOSER PIRATES," which offends Kuro. Kuro sneers, "HMPH...! LOSERS? A PIRATE CREW IS JUST A RANDOM GATHERING OF OUTCASTED OUTLAWS. WHAT COULD THESE FOOLS DO WITHOUT MY 'PLAN'?! YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO QUIETLY FOLLOW MY PLANS!!!
