OwO... A Samurai that slays dragons.... No reference for this case this time.... But the character had some physical features that Luffy had... It was an interesting one shot.... I can't understand how such a evil, unrighteous man could be the role model for the villagers... He was such a bad person that he was actually killed by that "Warrior Soul" lead character says exists.... The dragon slaying two page spread was amazing... yet unbelievable... how can it be possible a dragon being that dumb, dumb enough to be killed off so easily... Well I guess that's the power of the King ne? Hahahaha.... Great chappie

Really solid story. While the last chapter was overly predictable for me, this one offered up some nice twists along the way (particularly, that Ryuma was the King, i.e. the greatest swordsman in the world). The double page spread where Ryuma slices off the dragons head was glorious.

Also, since it wasn't already mentioned, it's really cool to see the origins of Ryuma here since he later appears in the Thriller Bark arc of One Piece.

Yeah, Ryuma from Thriller Bark. When I saw that arc in OP, I never knew that Ryuma was from one of Oda's previous works. Pretty cool, didn't expect him to be the King, either. Funny that he's wanting to fight himself.

All of these one shots were great but honestly this one was the best.
Oda's art has a certain charm to it definitely.

Finally reading this after well over a year after it got animated I gotta say 19 year old Oda was talented asf. Really fun to see prototype Zoro who would later on become an actual part of one piece. Gotta say, the company that chose to animate this one did an excellent choice.
