Facing the Elderly Swordsman
Fans of the globally recognized anime, “One Piece”, are abuzz as the Egghead Island Arc sets the stage for one of the biggest clashes in the series’ history. The battle lines have drawn between Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, the swordsman of the Five Elders. Breathlessly anticipated, this duel brings together two powerful characters for the first time.
The Connection of Their Blades
A notable aspect of the emerging clash is the pair’s use of Kitetsu swords. These unique weapons forge an unusual link between Zoro and V. Nusjuro. Details unraveled in One Piece chapter 1117 revealing that both the warriors possess these special blades. However, it is apparent that V. Nusjuro’s Shodai Kitetsu surpasses the strength of Zoro’s Sandai Kitetsu, making the looming battle a formidable one for our Straw Hat Pirate.
Zoro’s Tryst with the Kitetsu
Throughout his various adventures, Zoro has held many influential swords. But, the most interesting one happens to be the Sandai Kitetsu. Picked up from a random barrel in a Loguetown shop, this sword carries a curse. Unfazed by the curse, Zoro embraced it and has wielded it ever since. Discovering, during the Wano Arc, that the sword was crafted by Kozuki Sukiyaki, father of Kozuki Oden, proved to be a fascinating plot-point for fans. The revelation that there was another Kitetsu sword, the Nidai Kitetsu, was also made during this Arc.
The Enigma of the Shodai Kitetsu
Chapter 1117 of One Piece revealed that V. Nusjuro owns a Kitetsu sword, the Shodai Kitetsu to be precise. This blade is the most powerful of the Kitetsus, and similar to its siblings, carries a curse. Interesting theories have emerged connecting its origins to the Kozuki family. Fans speculate that just as the Nidai and Sandai Kitetsu were crafted by Kozuki family members, the Shodai might also trace its roots to that lineage. This theory posits a member from the Joy Boy period as the creator of the Shodai Kitetsu, leading to its possession by V. Nusjuro. All this infers an indirect bond between Zoro and V. Nusjuro formed by their cursed weapons.
A Challenging Battle for Zoro
Despite this fascinating link, Zoro finds himself facing a daunting task. With V. Nusjuro possessing the strongest of the three Kitetsu swords and Zoro carrying the weakest, this fight might become the most challenging for the Straw Hat Pirate. Zoro, probably, will need to harness the combined power of all his swords to defeat V. Nusjuro in this epic showdown.
Fans can follow the exciting development of this duel on Crunchyroll, the home of One Piece. With the anticipation building, one can only expect an enthralling encounter in the upcoming chapters. Prepare for a battle that is sure to be studied and remembered by One Piece fans for years to come.
