Vol 4 Pg:131

Straw Hats and a gorilla in airplanes.

Quick Summary
Kuro gives the pirates 5 minutes to complete his plan otherwise he will kill everybody. But when the Nyaban Brothers attack Zoro, Nami helps him recover his swords.

Long Summary
Kuro demands to know how the Black Cat Pirates were beaten by a bunch of kids. Jango states it was Kuro himself that said Usopp wouldn't be a problem, but Kuro just states that the Black Cats are weaker than he thought they were.

Buchi and Sham cannot believe what they are hearing. They try to argue that while Kuro has been leading a peaceful existence in the village, they have been fighting hard against other pirates and plundering other villages and that in 3 years they have gotten a lot stronger. They attempt to kill Kuro before he kills them, but to their horror Kuro dodges the attack. He appears behind them but when they turn to strike, he once again appears behind them again. With Kuro's special weapons, the Cat Claws, pointing at the pairs' throats. Jango comments how with those weapons Kuro can move silently and that Kuro's habit of lifting up his glasses still makes his hair stand on end. Kuro tells the Nyaban Brothers they have 5 minutes to kill them or he will kill everyone.

With new hope of not dying the pair rush at Zoro, and Nami kicks Zoro his swords (much to Zoro's annoyance.) With all three swords in his hands, Zoro easily defeats the pair with a single move. Zoro points his sword at Kuro and states he is next, however attention is drawn to Buchi, who still has some life left in him. He demands Jango to hypnotize him so he can continue fighting.

While Zoro tackles the hypnotized Buchi, Nami makes an attempt to wake Luffy up. Jango spots this and throws his ring at her.
