ONE PIECE... (Roronoa Zoro)

Day 1,089, 15:21 • Published in Greece Greece • by Aric

Zoro spent most of his childhood in a dojo, training. Zoro worked hard, and because of this, he could beat almost everyone in the dojo, even most adults. However, his sensei's daughter, Kuina, was the one and only person he could not defeat. No matter how hard he trained, and no matter how hard he fought against her, victory could not be achieved against her.

After Kuina's 2000th fight, and victory, against Zoro, Zoro challenged Kuina to another private fight with real swords. Kuina agreed, and that night, they fought. After mere seconds, Kuina was the victor. As Zoro laid on the ground, he began to scream out in anger that if he could not beat Kuina, then he couldn't be the greatest swordsman. After Kuina heard this, she began to cry, because that was also her dream. Kuina then said that she couldn't fufill this dream. Her father had told her that because she was a female, she would grow and mature into a woman, a physically weaker person than men. Zoro yelled back at her, telling her that saying such things were stupid, and he couldn't even beat her.




That night, they both made a vow, that one day; one of the two of them would become the greatest swordsman in the entire world.

The next day, Zoro discovered that Kuina had died by falling down the stairs in her house. After the funeral, Zoro remembered what he had promised. So he decided himself that he would become the greatest swordsman in the world for both of them. He asked the sensei for Kuina's sword, eyes filled with tears, saying that he would be the best for both of them. So Zoro was given Wado Ichimonji, Kuina's sword. This is when he first developed Santoryu, three-sword style. Now Zoro fought with 3 swords, two in each hand, and Wado Ichimonji in his mouth.


For the next few years, Zoro trained vigorously, from dawn till dusk, getting stronger and stronger.

Eventually, Zoro left his Dojo and headed out. After gaining bounties to earn money, he quickly gained the name "Pirate Hunter Zoro". Later, after getting caught in an incident with Helmeppo, Captain Morgan's son, he met Luffy. A short time after, he joined Luffy's pirate crew.
