"Bottom line, I have my own mission. No matter what happens, I can't let my guard down, and whatever situation I'm in, I have to see it through to the end."
"No one who comes here can stop me. As long as you don't interfere with me, I won't let you reach the Grand Line. That's the rule in this town."
"But what really matters now is whether you have the guts. I get the feeling you don't dare face me head-on."
"You look about ready to collapse from fear already. I guess that shows what you're really made of."
"I've met far too many people like you."
Luffy narrowed his eyes to slits.
"If that's true, then I can't keep going unless I knock you down first?"
"If that's how it is, I'll give it a try and see how strong you really are."
"I'm about to attack! You'd better defend yourself!"
"Take this! Rubber Iron Fist!"

"Ugh, Kaguya, when we leave, don't tell anyone I know him. I'd never live it down."
"And if word gets around, we'll end up looking like fools too.
