Summary:
Kuro, who has just arrived on the scene, wonders how the Black Cat pirates could have such trouble with a bunch of kids. Jango says that Kuro himself said that Usopp wouldn’t be a problem, and Sham and Buchi say that while Kuro was getting soft, they fought. Sham and Buchi attack, but Kuro dodges their attacks and says that he will kill everyone present if the pirates are not dead within five minutes. Sham and Buchi attack Zoro once more, but Nami kicks Zoro with his two stolen swords. With all three blades, Zoro then defeats Sham and Buchi in a single move. However, Buchi survives and convinces Jango to hypnotize him to make him stronger. While Zoro fights Buchi, Nami runs to wake Luffy and forces Jango to throw chakram at her.
Kuro wants to know how the Black Cat pirates were beaten by a bunch of kids. Jango says that it was Kuro himself who said Usopp wouldn’t be a problem, but Kuro just states that black cats are weaker than he thought.
Buchi and Sham can’t believe what they are hearing. He tries to argue that while Kuro led a peaceful life in the village, they fought hard against other pirates and plundered other villages, and that they have become much stronger in three years. They try to kill Kuro before he kills them, but to their horror, Kuro dodges the attack. He appears behind them, but when he turns to attack, he reappears behind them with his special weapons, the Cat Claws, aimed at the couples throats. Jango comments on how Kuro can move silently with those weapons and that Kuro’s habit of lifting his glasses still makes his hair stand on end. Kuro tells the Nyaban Brothers that they have 5 minutes to kill them or he will kill everyone.
With renewed hope, the pair rush at Zoro. Nami kicks Zoro’s swords, much to Zoro’s annoyance. With all three swords in hand, Zoro easily defeats the pair with a single move. Zoro points his sword at Kuro and declares that he is next. However, attention is drawn to Buchi, who still survived Zoro’s attack. Buchi demands Jango hypnotize him so he can continue fighting.
While Zoro fights the hypnotized Buchi, Nami tries to wake Luffy up. Jango notices this and throws his ring at her.
