One Piece Chapter 17, page 1: 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.
