Babo: "Hahaha if you say so, Mako, but you might want to learn how to use a sword before you say you're going to be the best." Mako: "Oh yeah! I need to learn. I'm gonna go to Mr. Sukimoji's store and get a sword." Babo: "You have money?" Mako: ".....can I have some money?" Babo: "Haha sure you can." Mako: "Mr. Sukimoji! Mr. Sukomoji!" Sukimoji: "Ah, Mako, how are you?" Mako: "Good. Look, I have money!" Sukimoji: "Oh, so you do. *He smiles* Which action figure do you want to buy today?" Mako: "Not today, Mr. Sukimoji. I want a sword! Give me the best sword you have!" Sukimoji: "A sword you say? Hahaha well you know what I'm gonna do for you? I'm gonna give you a kendo sword for free. If you show promise and skill with it, I'll sell you a sword." Mako: "Grrrgh, fine. But I'm gonna buy the best sword you have!" Sukimoji: "Haha only once you're worthy of wielding it." Mako: "Hello? Mr. Sukimoji? Where are you? Helloo?" Sukimoji: "Mako!! W-Why do you have those??!!" Mako: "I found them under the floor. These are amazing! I want these!" Sukimoji, regaining his composure: "You are not yet ready to use these swords. These were used by a great swordsman in the past. He put an end to a long war. You aren't strong enough yet." Mako: "Oh yeah? I'll fight you for it! The winner gets to keep the swords." Sukimoji: "I'm not going to fight you Mako. Your dad would get mad at me, and I don't want to fight you anyway." Mako: "Grr, I'm gonna fight you, whether you want to or not! Let's go!" Sukimoji: "Very well then, I will fight you." Mako: "How do you know I'm not going to attack you from behind?" Sukimoji: "Because that is very dishonorable for a warrior to do, and it is even more dishonorable to have a scar on the back. So for the sake of my family and yours, don't." Sukimoji: "We will battle here. Are you ready?" Mako: "You bet!" Sukimoji: "Good. Let's begin." Sukimoji: "Looks like I win. You'll need a lot more training before you even dream about those swords. Tell me, who has taught you so far?" Mako: "Me, I don't need any help from anyone, I'll become great by myself." Sukimoji: "Haha well, I think you should start training at the Yuyan Dojo. They are not the best swordsmen, but you seem to learn easily." Mako: "I don't want a sensei! I'll learn by myself." Sukimoji: "That may be, but you must learn technique and form before you become a master swordsman. Even the great Pirate Hunter Zoro had a teacher at one point." Mako: "Maybe I'll go to the Dojo for a little while, but I'm gonna come back and fight you again some day!" Sukimoji: "I look forward to it." Mako: "Hey! Mr. Sukimoji! Are you here? I wanna show you my skills. I've gotten a lot better." Sukimoji: "Ahh, hello, Mako. Nice to see you. How is your training going?" Mako: "Really well. Kumamaru-sensei and the others at the dojo say I am the best swordsman they have ever seen, I'm better than all of them." Sukimoji: "My, my, I guess they haven't seen many swordsman now, have they? Hahaha" Mako: "Very funny, old man. But today, I will challenge you again, and this time, I'm going to win!" Sukimoji: "Haha, I accept. Go out back and wait for me, I will need to prepare." Mako: "Okay!" Mako: "Are you ready?" Sukimoji: "Yes, let's begin." Sukimoji: "Much better than last time, yes, but you still need a lot of work." Mako: "It's not fair. I...I trained so hard, for so long, but I still can't beat you. How will I ever become the world's greatest swordsman if I can't even beat you?" Sukimoji: "Mako, I have trained for many, many years. I trained very hard, and I believe one day, you will be a great swordsman, maybe even the best, but never without proper training. That is why I will teach you from now on." Mako: "I don't know, maybe I should travel and find a master somewhere else." Sukimoji: "Mako. trust me, I am a master. I may be old, but I will teach you more in a year than the dojo could teach you in 10." Mako: "Alright then, I will be your student!" Mako: "Good morning, sensei." Sukimoji: "Good morning, Mako. Why so early?" Mako: "Sensei, today, I'm going to duel you for the swords. And today I'm going to win." Sukimoji: "Is that so? Well, you're certainly comfident as ever. Very well, we will battle for them. Go wait outside." Sukimoji: "Are you ready? This will be a true test of your skill." Mako: "You bet I'm ready!" Sukimoji: "Good. Let's begin."
