- Roronoa Zoro: You're going to be King of the Pirates? Right. You must be completely out of your rubbery mind. Do you have any idea what that means?
- Monkey D Luffy: King of the Pirates means King of the Pirates! How can it mean anything other than that?
- Monkey D Luffy: [to Morgan Taisa] You call yourself a Marine, but you destroyed my friend Coby's dream!
- Navy Commander: We heard that you fellas are actually pirates? Is this rumour true?
- Monkey D Luffy: Right. Now, I just added the first member in my crew. So pretty much the whole thing just became official.
- Monkey D Luffy: I will be King of the Pirates!
- Roronoa Zoro: You really seem obsessed about this King of the Pirates thing. Is there some sorta reason for it?
- Monkey D Luffy: No reason. It's just...
- Roronoa Zoro: It's just?
- Monkey D Luffy: I swore to a certain man that someday I would gather a great crew, find the world's greatest treasure, and become King of the Pirates! This straw hat knows!
- Monkey D Luffy: Here's your treasure! Which is yours? I couldn't tell, so I brought three of 'em.
- Roronoa Zoro: All three are mine. I use the Three-Sword Style.
- Monkey D Luffy: The world's greatest swordsman? That sounds great! The King of the Pirates would need no less than that on his crew!
- Captain Axe-Hand Morgan: This is a direct order! Everyone who spouted weakness just now must now shoot themselves in the head! I have no need for weakling soldiers!
- Roronoa Zoro: You sure talk big. At this point, whether it's as a criminal or whatever else, I will spread my name throughout the world!
- Navy Commander: All hands, salute!
- Monkey D Luffy: See ya!
- Navy Commander: That's a great friend you have there.
- Coby: Yes, sir!
- Navy Commander: Our salute just now is in violation of naval law! Therefore, we will all go without food for three days! Understood?
- Navy Commander: [All the marines together] Yes, sir!
- Captain Axe-Hand Morgan: The devil fruits... Whoever eats one is said to gain seemingly unwordly abilities. The power to breathe fire... The power to cause tsunamis... There are all sorts of rumors, but there are many types, and almost nothing is known about them. It's said the secrets to them lie in the Grand Line...
- Roronoa Zoro: Please tell me you've a ship?
- Monkey D Luffy: Sure do.
- [points at a small dingy]
- Monkey D Luffy: It's right there.
- Coby: Luffy! I can never thank you enough you've done more for me than anyone ever has!
- Roronoa Zoro: I've never heard of a Marine thanking a Pirate before. That's one for the history books.
- Coby: You know this world has two oceans, right? And the giant continent that cuts them right in two is the Red Line. Supposedly, there's a town right in the middle of the Red Line, and the Grand Line goes through it at a right angle and stretches around the world. It was said that Gold Roger, King of the Pirates, once obtained everything this world has to offer, and before he died, he said he left the great One Piece treasure there, so pirates everywhere have since set sail for the Grand Line! It's now an intense battlefield and even called a pirate graveyard!
- Ririka: I've heard from patrons before that whoever enters the Grand Line never comes out alive...
- Monkey D Luffy: But the One Piece is somewhere there, so we're going there!
- Roronoa Zoro: Guess it can't be helped!
- Roronoa Zoro: I'll be a pirate. I promise you that. I'm officially a criminal, now that I've fought the navy. But I'll tell you this right now. I'm only going to fulfill my ambition!
- Monkey D Luffy: Ambition?
- Roronoa Zoro: To be the world's greatest swordsman! If I wind up having to give that up, you'd better accept responsibility and apologize to me!
