One Piece Chapter 17, page 1-2: Chapter 17: HIGH LEVEL, LOW LEVEL

Roronoa Zoro stands with his sword drawn, blood dripping from his fresh wound onto the ground with a soft sound. In the distance, Luffy and Nami watch the confrontation. Luffy cheers loudly, shouting, "GET 'IM, ZOLO!!" while Nami holds her head, complaining, "I'M FEELING FAINT JUST WATCHING THIS!" Zoro clenches his teeth around his third sword, thinking to himself, "I CAN'T LOSE, NOT EVEN ONCE... TO ANYONE WHO CALLS HIMSELF A SWORDSMAN!!" Cabaji, wearing his checkered scarf, glares back at him with a cold, calculating expression.

Cabaji taunts Zoro, saying, "SO YOU INJURED YOURSELF AS INSURANCE FOR YOUR REPUTATION... WELL, DON'T WORRY... YOUR WOUNDS ARE SEVERE. THEY'LL MAKE AN EXCELLENT EXCUSE WHEN YOU LOSE." Zoro smirks and draws his three swords with a sharp metallic ring. He retorts, "IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! IF I LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU WHEN MY WOUNDS ARE ONLY THIS LIGHT... THEN I MAY AS WELL GIVE UP MY DREAM RIGHT NOW." Cabaji's smug expression turns to shock and anger as he sweats, muttering, "...!! YOU SCURVY DOG!!" Buggy watches the exchange silently from the background.
