Volume: 2 Pg.: 173

Straw Hat and animals: Straw Hat and penguins.

Quick Summary
While Nami left the group to steal the Grand Line map, Zoro defeats Cabaji. Then Luffy faces Buggy revealing he is a pirate and his ambition.

Long Summary


Luffy cheers on Zoro while Nami comments on how he looks like he is about to collapse. Cabaji sees the point of Zoro cutting himself; to weaken his body but strengthen his spirit. Nami whispers her plan to Luffy while everyone is distracted; they will continue fighting while she steals Buggy's treasure. She expects the Grand Line map is still in Buggy's possession.

As the fight between Zoro and Cabaji rages on, Cabaji leaps into the air. Buggy throws his hand out and grabs Zoro by the foot, however Luffy steps on it preventing him for succeeding on holding Zoro. Zoro dodges the attack. Zoro is tired and exhausted, as Cabaji laughs at Zoro's condition, he suddenly launches off his unicycle. With one final strike against each other, Cabaji is beaten by Zoro's signature "Onigiri" move. He collapses and falls asleep.

With both fighters down for the count, Luffy now sizes up to Buggy. Buggy mocks Luffy for calling himself a pirate and desiring to go to the Grand Line. As both pirates go into the first attack, Buggy mentions the name of Red-Hair which grabs Luffy by surprise.
