Last Time on TSOTSH...

Before they could make their move, a voice echoed down the alleyway. "Zorooo! Narutooo!"

Ms. Valentine's eyes narrowed in irritation. "What is it now?" she hissed.

Naruto and Zoro turned toward the source of the voice, spotting a familiar figure sprinting down the alley.

"Oh, it's Luffy!" Naruto exclaimed, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Hey, bro! Did you just wake up?" he asked cheerfully.

Zoro, however, wasn't as pleased. "What do you want, Luffy?" he asked, his tone impatient. "If you want to help, forget about it! The kid and I got this!" He shifted his stance, ready to strike at any moment.

Luffy, however, didn't seem to care about the enemies. His eyes were fixed on Zoro. "Fight me!" he shouted. "I will never forgive you!"

Naruto and Zoro both froze, turning to each other in confusion."What?!" they yelled simultaneously.

"What kind of idiotic thing are you saying now?" Zoro yelled, his voice booming with frustration as his hand instinctively reached for his swords.

"Shut up!" Luffy fired back, his tone laced with anger. "An ungrateful bastard like you needs to get his ass kicked!"

"Ungrateful?" Zoro's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Naruto, caught in the escalating tension, looked back and forth between them. "What are you talking about, bro? Zoro? Ungrateful?" The words felt foreign on his tongue—Zoro and ungrateful didn't fit together in his mind.

"Stay out of this, Naruto!" Luffy snapped. His hands clenched into tight fists. "How dare you cut up every single one of these townspeople! After they gave us such a friendly welcome and fed us so much yummy food!" His voice cracked as he yelled.

"Ah... well, I did cut them up..." Zoro admitted, scratching the back of his head. "But listen to me! Those townspeople were actually—"

Before Zoro could finish, Luffy launched himself toward Zoro."Don't make any excuses!" Luffy shouted.

"What the—?" Zoro yelped, barely managing to shove Naruto and Vivi out of harm's way as he sidestepped Luffy's attack. The punch missed him by a hair's breadth, instead crashing into the wall behind him, shattering it into a cloud of dust and debris.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Zoro demanded as he stared at the gaping hole Luffy had just created.

"Yeah, die," Luffy growle as he swung his leg at Zoro.
