What's in a Title?

"That's him," Zoro said before anyone could even see the shadow of the other man, putting a hand in his swords and stepping forward, leaving his nakama to stare after him. "Finally."

There was a moment of silence in the Sunny while everyone considered the seriousness of the situation and then Mihawk came fully into view.

They looked at the swordsman, the best in the world for now, and shared a look among them.

"Zoro will win," Luffy said confidently.

"Yes, but--" Nami said, biting her lip with a worried expression on her face. That feathered hat.

"No buts, Nami-swan. The Marimo will win."

"I know, but--" she was biting harder, trying to stifle what sounded like a sob or could have been a guffaw. That gaudy coat.

"The Brave Warrior of the Sea Usopp taught Zoro everything he knows, he can't lose."

"Yes, yes, I know, but--" her voice sounded strained, weird. The goatee.

"You don't think he'd lose, do you Navigator-san? There is nothing to worry about."

Nami turned to look at her nakama and they could see she wasn't crying; she was trying very hard not to laugh. "I know Zoro will win, I have no doubt about it," she couldn't repress her laughter anymore, "I just hope the outfit doesn't go with the title he's about to acquire."
