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!

Scenes with Luffy 13
I run a pirate crew and I'm looking for people to join up.
No way! I'd never stoop to joining up with a criminal. Screw that business.
And what's wrong with being a pirate?
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!
People can say whatever they want about me, but I've never done a single thing in my life that I regret.
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.
[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.
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.
[Luffy just knocked out Mayor Boodle]
What the hell do you think you're doing? Why'd you knock out the mayor?!
Because.
[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.
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?
[Roronoa Zoro has woken up after fighting Cabaji]
I feel lightheaded.
Of course you do. It's always something with you two. Honestly.
Hey wait a minute, what did I do?
Are you kidding me? You're the worst of them all!
Luffy... I never heard that name before.
You should remember my name for the rest of your lives. Cuz one of these days I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
[puts his straw hat on Nami's head] Of course... that's what friends do. He's gonna pay!
[remembering how much the hat means to him] Luffy...
[to crew] Let's go!
You could never use her like me! She would be wasted on you! [Luffy grabs the blade] What the? The shark saw! It won't budge!
[furiously crushes the blade] Use her?!
I'm going to the Grand Line to find the All Blue!
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
The world's best swordsman.
I'm going so I can draw a map of the entire world.
I guess I'm going... to be a brave warrior of the sea!
And now to the Grand Line!
Yeah!
Well whatever, we got our money now and that's what matters!
[Luffy accidentally drops the suitcase and it's about to fall into the river]]
AHHH! YOU DROPPED IT!
Don't let it fall into the river!
[Nami and Usopp jump into the river to catch the suitcase but then Luffy extends his hand and grabs the suitcase back to him]
Phew! That would've been bad if the money got wet huh?
[Nami and Usopp fall into the water. Cut to Nami and Usopp looking very furious]
IF YOU LOSE MY MONEY, YOU'RE PAYING IN BLOOD!
I'M GOING TO BREAK YOUR TEETH OUT AND SHOVE DOWN YOUR THROAT!
[Pan down to a beaten up Luffy]
I'm sorry! Very sorry! But please, don't break my face anymore!
[Nami locks Luffy up in a cage for recklessly sailing down the waterfall to exit Wano]
YOU'RE OFFICIALLY UNDER SHIP ARREST CAPTAIN!!
I'm sorry..I...I goofed up.
You did more than that you idiot! You could've killed your whole crew! HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID?!
Hahaha! Well, we all made it out alright didn't we? That's all that matters.
WHAT WAS THAT?! Are you going easy on him, JIMBEI?!
Jinbei (backing off): Is that...conqueror's haki?
It's not worth it boss!
Back away soldier, you're in the blast zone.
