Cyrus is probably no match for these two right now,\" Kuina said, looking at the newspaper's assessment of the two men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were major pirates from the New World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Doflamingo had even become the king of a country; he must have very powerful subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that Jinbei the Knight of the Sea was a Fish-man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paper said that the physique of a Fish-man was generally at least ten times stronger than a human's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that they were recruited by the Marines to be Shichibukai was a testament to their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of worry flashed in Kuina's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely not. Didn't Cyrus say he won't be going to the Grand Line anytime soon? Both of these guys are in the Grand Line,\" Zoro said suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zoro usually seemed like he had a screw loose, he could always spot the crucial points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina came to her senses with a start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cyrus had indeed said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just been misled by the fact that Cyrus was looking at the two newspapers earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuina put down the newspapers and waved at Zoro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To do what?\" Zoro asked, looking confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To buy things in the village. Did you forget? Father told us to buy groceries.
