Kuma: .........

Kuma: ............ // !

Zoro: Shishi Sonson!!!!
[TN: The "Shishi" is "lion"; the repeated "son" appears to be based on the English "song"]
Kuma: ?!! // Ugh......!!

7
Zoro: ?!! // .........?! You...
Kuma: ..................
Zoro: *pant* / What ARE you......?!! // ..................?! Are you some kind of cyborg, like Franky.........?! // No... *pant*... You're stronger than just steel......!!!
Kuma: .........

8
[TN: I choose you, Kuma! Use Hyper Beam!]
Zoro: ...............?!! // Whooooahh!!!

9
Zoro: !!! // ............!! *pant*... *pant*... The steel... // ...He melted it...............!!
Kuma: A cyborg...? ......Indeed, that is what I am. // But I am not like that "Cyborg Franky" of yours. // I am what is called a "Pacifista". // It is the name given to an as-yet incomplete Government project... a "human weapon".
Zoro: ........................?! // Pacifista......?!

10
Kuma: It was developed by the Government's genius scientist, Dr. Vegapunk. / The man with the greatest intellect on the planet...!!! // It is said that his scientific knowledge... // ...is equivalent to the level humanity is likely to reach in five hundred years' time.
Zoro: A body like that... and you're a Devil's Fruit user too? // It's like there's just no chance of beating him......!! // ...And go figure...... I can't even move my body any more... // *pant*... / ............Is there no way............?!! // No way to stop you taking Luffy's head......?!
Kuma: ...That is as far as I am willing to compromise.
Zoro: ............All right. // You can have... one head.

11
Zoro: ..................But I'm gonna beg you here...! / *pant* / *pant* // *pant* / ......Don't make it Luffy's!! / Have mercy, and take my life in his place.........!!!
Kuma: !
Zoro: I know my name may not be worth all that much just yet.........!! / But this is the head of the man who would one day go on to become the world's greatest swordsman! // Surely that should be enough!!!
Kuma: ........................ / ...Despite your remarkable ambition... // ............you wish to take this man's place... // ...and go to your death?
Zoro: ............It's the only option... I can see... // ...that gives me a chance right now... of saving the crew...!!! / ...What good's that "ambition" if I can't even protect the Captain I serve...?!

12
Zoro: Luffy is... // ...the man who will be the Pirate King!!!
Kuma: .........
Zoro: !
Sanji: ...You wait just one minute there, you bastard... // What the hell's the good in you dying...?!! // *pant*...!! You still haven't even fulfilled your dream, right?! ...Idiot!! // ......Hey, big guy.........!!
Zoro: Wait...
Kuma: !
Sanji: Forget this idiot marimo-swordsman and take my life instead...!! // Right now, the Marines may be taking me lightly... but I'm telling ya... / ...the one who's gonna cause them the most trouble in the end... // ...is me, "Black Leg Sanji"!

13
Sanji: Now... do it...! *pant*... / Both of us are perfectly ready to lay down our lives here if we have to.........!! // Let's make this a glorious death...!!! // ......Hey. If you would......... // Tell the guys goodbye for me, would you...? // I guess you'll have to find yourselves another cook......!! // !!! // .................. / ...............!!! // .........Why, you...

14
Zoro: This is my one final request.
Kuma: ........................ // ............ // ......If I were to harm Strawhat now... / ...I would be the one to bear the shame.
Zoro: ...I'm in your debt.
Kuma: ..................Trust me for a moment. I will keep my word. / But in return for this...
Zoro: ?!
Kuma: ...I will show you hell......!!!

15
Kuma: !! // What I have expelled from his body here... // ...it is his "pain" and his "fatigue". // This is all the damage he accumulated during his battle with Moria and the rest. // If you wish to take his place, then I say you should take on this "damage". // However, it would be impossible for you, who are already close to death, to take this on and survive. // It would be fatal.
Zoro: .........

16
Zoro: !
Kuma: Let us do a little test.
Zoro: !!! // Unghhhhh... // Aghh!! // Unnnhhh... // GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

17
Zoro: *cough* / *pant*
Kuma: .........How was it?
Zoro: *pant* / *cough* // Can we at least... do this somewhere else...? // *pant*... // ..................*pant*... // *pant*... // !!!
Kuma: .................. // ...His nakama are strong. // He truly is... your son. / ............Dragon.

Lola: He~~y! You all alive?!! Everyone~?!!
Someone: Ungh...!!
Lola: I thought we were all dead after that attack... / ...but it looks like that Kuma-man has left! Serve him right!
Franky: Whoa, whoa, what the hell?! What's goin' on?!!
Chopper: Whaaaaaa?!!
Nami: Owww...
Luffy: Check it out!! / My body feels great! Why could it be?!
Usopp: Oh, shut up!! You've gotta be lying!!
Brooke: ..................
Robin: Do you think he took so much damage it went full-circle and put him on a high...?
Sanji: .........He can't be fine, that's just crazy... / ......*pant* ...But where is that guy? .........Don't tell me he......!! // ! // There he is...!!! // The hell d'you think you're playin' at.........?!! // Oi!! What happened to that Shichibukai......?!! // ...?

19
Sanji: !!! // ......What the hell's with all that blood.........?!!!! // Hey... Are you... are you alive?! / Where did he go?!!!

Zoro: .................. // ......It was... / ...nothing...!!!!
