11. Can't Flee (was You'll See)

Smoker:
Hey you bum - yeah you move over
Get your ass off my land rover!

Sanji:
That's just the kind of Marine corruption that Nami-san is protesting tonight.

Close up: Captain Smoker the White Hunter.  He works with Black Cage Hina - he's in charge of Loguetown, wants to clean it up.

Smoker:
Nami is protesting the loss of her victims, not Marine corruption.

Zoro:
What happened to Smoker?
What happened to his heart and the ideals he once pursued?

Smoker:
A Marine has the right to do whatever he pleases.

Usopp (aside):
And keep the treasure he seizes.

Smoker:
You're mine.

Sanji (throws down his cigarette in a gesture of defiance):
You're wasting your time.

Luffy (puts his dukes up):
You can't stop us.

Zoro (reaches for his sword):
And you broke your word - this is absurd.

Smoker:
There is one way you won't have to pay.

Zoro:
What?

Smoker:
In this port, there's pirate scum, you see
And now that I have my orders
'incarceration' must become their reality!

Can't flee, boys.
Can't flee, boys.

A port that is safe, clean, and conducive to tourism.
However, I'll forget your past crimes
And give you my personal guarantee
If you do me one small favor.

Sanji:
What?

Smoker:
Convince Nami to cancel her protest.

Zoro:
Why not use your overwhelming tactical majority?

Smoker:
I would, and my men are on standby, but headquarters would rather I handle this quietly.

Luffy:
You can't quietly wipe out a port full of pirates
Without them fighting back.

Smoker:
You want to become the pirate king?
You need to be free to do it.
I know it's what you are dreaming about
Think twice before you try and do it.

Can't flee, boys.
Can't flee, boys.

Just stop Nami's show
And I'll let you go.
There's no other way
You'll get away.

(Smoker leaves to go harass more pirates.)

Sanji:
What do you think, guys?

Zoro:
He's got thugs.

Usopp:
And one ugly mug.

Chopper:
Which reminds me -
We have a detour to make tonight
Anyone who wants to can come along.

Luffy:
Kanazuchi is a group for people with Devil Fruit Powers.
You don't have to stay long.

Sanji:
First I've got a souffle to save.

Usopp:
Zoro?

Zoro:
I'm not much company you'll find.

Sanji:
No kidding.

Luffy:
You can catch up later - you've just got
Other things on your mind.
You'll see, boys.

Usopp and Chopper:
We'll see, boys.

Zoro:
Shut up, boys.

All:
We'll see.
