One Piece quotes

Well, I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!

I'm doing it because I want to. I decided long ago that I'm gonna be King of the Pirates. If I have to die fighting for that... then I die!

I run a pirate crew and I'm looking for people to join up.

Zoro

No way! I'd never stoop to joining up with a criminal. Screw that business.

And what's wrong with being a pirate?

Zoro

They're despicable. Like I ever wanna join up with one.

Oh come one! Give me a break. Everyone already knows you as some vicious bounty hunter always out for blood!

Zoro

People can say whatever they want about me, but I've never done a single thing in my life that I regret.

Anyone who disobeys my orders is a traitor! [kills lieutenant]

You killed him!

My strength was what I used to rise to the rank of captain. Listen, in this world titles are what matter! That means by being captain of this base and the highest ranking officer, I am the most superior person as far as the eye can see! This means that I do everything right!

Zoro

To be nothing less than the world's greatest swordsman. If somewhere along the way I have to give that up, then I want you to accept responsibility, after which you get to apologize to me.

The world's greatest swordsman, sounds pretty good. The King of the Pirates wouldn't have any less than the best on this crew.

But the two of you have taught me a lesson I could never learn on my own, how to live for what I believe in!

Now that you've drawn your pistol, are you willing to use it?

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm saying that guns aren't for threats, they're for actions. Are you willing to risk your life?

You! You're a dead man! These guys fight dirty!

Dirty?

Who did you think you're dealing with? We never claimed to be saints or anything.

You fellas are staring down a crew of pirates.

Shut up! We just want the boy, not you!

Listen up bandits. Whether I'm sprayed with alcohol or doused with food, hell even if I'm spit on, most of the time I'll just laugh it off and forget about it. But if you hurt a friend of mine, you'll pay for it regardless of your reason.

[to Luffy on getting his arm bitten off] It's just an arm. I've got another one. I'm just glad you're alright.

[later] So you're leaving?

Yeah. It was a nice extended vacation but we have to part ways now. I bet you'll miss me right?

Yeah but this time's different. I won't beg you to take me with you. Cuz I'm gonna be a pirate all on my own.

I wouldn't take you with me anyway. You'll never make it as a pirate.

No! I will make it as a pirate! Someday I'm gonna gather a crew even better than yours and I'm gonna find the greatest treasure in the world, and then I'll be King of the Pirates! I'll show you!

You think you'll surpass us? [gives Luffy his straw hat] In that case I'll leave this hat to you. It means more to me than anything in the world so you better take good care of it, you hear me? I want you to bring this hat back to me someday in good condition, and only once you've become a great pirate.

Nami

My goal is to earn 100 million berries no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.

Zoro

Yeah so what? The injury to my reputation's a lot worse than the injury to my gut.

Well if we want to head to the Grand Line, we better go steal that chart back.

Nami

What the hell do you think you're doing? Why'd you knock out the mayor?!

Because.

Zoro

[after cutting himself] Is that enough of a handicap for you? And now let me show just how superior my skills are to yours.

Yeah Zoro! Get him!

You fool, you've made a vast error in judgment. I won't be mocked.

Zoro

My swords aim to be the world's greatest. I refuse to lose to anyone who calls himself a swordsman.

I see, a strong resolve keeps you going. But have no fear. Wounds as bad as yours will be more than enough of an excuse for losing to me.

To hell with that. If I lose to someone like you, even with these minimal injuries, then I don't have a very bright future ahead of me do I?

Zoro

I feel lightheaded.

Nami

Of course you do. It's always something with you two. Honestly.

Hey wait a minute, what did I do?

Nami

Are you kidding me? You're the worst of them all!

Usopp

“I — I have eighty million underlings! I won’t let pirates attack this village!” [Usopp strikes a dramatic pose with his slingshot raised]

Nami

“Eighty million?! That’s ridiculous.”
