Roronoa Zoro/History/During and After the Timeskip

Straw Hat Reunion


After two years of training, Zoro (with Perona's help) returned to Sabaody Archipelago. Shakky told him that he was the first to return. He went to a fisherman, saying that he was bored and wanted to fish, and accidentally went on a coated pirate ship instead of the fisherman's boat (despite the major difference such as the fisherman's boat being a dingy and the pirates being a galleon). Later he fell asleep and the fisherman was unable to wake him up as the coated ship submerged. He was found by Sanji when the ship resurfaced with him sitting on one of the broken masts after he cut the whole ship in half with his blade (similar to Mihawk) upon waking up. Zoro then tells the unfortunate pirates to blame fate for him being on their ship. He then casually states that he had boarded the wrong ship.

Zoro then gets reacquainted with Sanji. Zoro says that he wants to go to the beach and go fishing. Sanji angrily states that it would be a pain for the crew to search for him if he ends up getting lost and forces him to return to the Thousand Sunny. Zoro then ranks Sanji by the order in which he arrived (#7), much to Sanji's frustration. The two then start their usual bickering with Zoro threatening to cut Sanji in half.



After getting a call by Franky, Sanji then informs Zoro of the Straw Hats' meeting place, which is in Grove 42. They also hear a commotion coming from a nearby grove. When they go to see what it is, they find Luffy there along with the Marines, the Pacifistas, and the crew of the Impostor Straw Hat Pirates. After quickly defeating a Pacifista, and briefly arguing about whose blow actually finished it off, Zoro and Sanji then gets reacquainted with Luffy as Zoro ranks Luffy the ninth. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji then make their way back to the ship. On the way, they come across Rayleigh. When Luffy tells Rayleigh that he is going to become the pirate king, Zoro just smiles along with Sanji.

As Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji head back to the Thousand Sunny, they find Marines blocking their path. Perona aids them by fending off the Marines with her Negative Hallow. When Zoro asks Perona why she is still there, Perona gets angry at him, scolding him for talking that way to the one who was nice enough to bring him to Sabaody. Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji then return to the ship with the aid of Chopper and a giant bird. With the Marines held back by their new allies, the crew submerges on their coated ship and heads for Fishman Island.

Undersea Voyage
As the crew marvels at the surrounding ocean, Zoro simply states that he has already seen it as he already boarded a coated pirate ship by mistake. Sanji then scolds Zoro for ruining the moment. He then prepares to catch a fish using his sword but is beaten down by Usopp and Chopper. When Luffy again attempts to catch some fish, he proposes they have a competition, only to be beaten down by his crew again. The crew then starts listening what Franky has to tell them about Kuma, while they eat the bentos Luffy brought. Zoro starts to wonder what are Kuma's real intentions as he still has his doubts.

With their seacow, the Caribou Pirates soon caught up with the Straw Hats and prepare for battle. Caribou jumps onto the Thousand Sunny. Before his crew can follow, his seacow, which turns out to be Mohmoo, fled in fear after seeing Nami, Sanji, and Luffy, leaving Caribou behind. Zoro then questions Caribou if he is the captain of that crew and Caribou gets down on his knees, bows his head, and frantically claims that he is an unfortunate victim and not a pirate. With that settled, the Straw Hats then sail through the underwater currents. When they reach the "underwater waterfall", they encounters the Kraken. When Zoro witnesses the Kraken destroying Caribou's ship, he comments that Caribou's crew looks like jellyfishes much to Caribou's dismay. Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji then equip themselves with Flutter Kick Coating and fight the Kraken out in the sea. During the battle, Zoro cut one of the Kraken's tentacles much to Luffy's disapproval. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji soon defeats the Kraken, but because they are not wearing life-lines, they got separated from the ship as it goes down the "underwater waterfall".



Luffy successfully tamed the Kraken and named him Surume. Unfortunately, Luffy and Sanji's coating had popped, so Zoro had to share his own with them. After some searching, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji eventually found the Thousand Sunny and the rest of the Straw Hats just in time for Surume to save them from an Umibouzo. After reuniting with the ship, Zoro was then startled when the undersea volcano started to erupt. Surume quickly carried the ship away from the eruption and jumped down a trench.

The Straw Hats were in danger because of the the blast from the volcano, rocks were falling down on them. Zoro wanted to leave the ship and the bubble in order to cut them, but Robin stops him with her power and warns him about the water pressure. The Straw Hats are able to escape thanks to Surume and Usopp's Pop Greens, with Zoro seen smiling at Usopp's progress in strength. After going down through the trench, the crew sees Fishman Island. They soon encounter a gang of sea monsters led by Hammond, who gives the Straw Hats two options: join the new Fishman Pirates or die. The Straw Hats prepare to run using Coup de Burst as Luffy gives Hammond a rejection.

Trouble in the Underwater Paradise
Hammond does not take kindly to Luffy's rejection and prepares to attack the Thousand Sunny. Franky activates Coup de Burst and the ship flies through the bubble surrounding Fishman Island. The ship then falls into a current and the crew gets separated. Some time later, Zoro was found by King Neptune and brought to the Ryugu Palace and began drinking even after King Neptune suggested waiting for the rest of his crew to get there.



After receiving word of the mysterious disappearance of some mermaids from the Mermaid Cove and of Madam Shyarly's ominous prediction, the palace guards and personnel took action against the Straw Hats. They locked up Zoro and attempt to capture Usopp, Nami, and Brook (who were invited to the palace earlier) who easily defeated most of the guards. Zoro then frees himself from his cell and reaches the palace hall just in time to intercept an attack by King Neptune. After subduing and tying up the king, the ministers, and the rest of the royal guards, the crew mates have an argument with Zoro, scolded him for overdoing things, but he insists that they had to fight in order to defend themselves. Zoro then tells everyone that they need to leave Fishman Island.

The three princes of the Neptune House return to the palace only to find it under the control of the Straw Hats. Since the princes are unable to enter, Fukaboshi speaks with Zoro through Den Den Mushi. Zoro demands that in exchange for the freedom of the palace, the Straw Hats would be able to leave Fishman Island peacefully. Fukaboshi agrees with Zoro's terms and tells him Jinbe's message. After hearing noises coming from Shirahoshi's room, Neptune begs Zoro and the other Straw Hats to check up on the princess to ensure her safety. When Zoro asks why they should take orders from hostages, Neptune angrily responds by saying if Shirahoshi is harmed while he is incapacitated, he will chase the crew to the ends of the ocean.

Brook instantly dashes off to her location while carrying the Minister of the Right. When they return, the minister informs Neptune of Shirahoshi's disappearance and Brook yells that pirates (pawns of Hody Jones) are invading the palace. Usopp panics asking what to do. Zoro gives a simple answer, "cut them".

Zoro proceeds to defeat the human pirates. The Minister of the Left states that Zoro was enjoying it much to Zoro's annoyance. However, one of the unconscious pirate's arm was laying on top of the Connection Corrdor switch pushing it down and opening the corridor that leads to the palace. Zoro, Usopp, Nami, and Brook then encounter the New Fishman Pirates and Vander Decken IX. Once Decken learns that Shirahoshi is no longer in the palace, he quickly goes after her leaving Jones to take care of things in the palace.

Jones then crushes a palace wall, flooding the palace in the process. Jones launches his Archer Shark attack, injuring King Neptune and some of his soldiers. Zoro launches a counterattack by sending a sword wave at the fishman. Jones block the attack by using one of his own comrades as a shield. Nami goes off to an unknown location, Usopp and Brook untie the guards, and Zoro cuts Neptune's chains. Zoro regrettably states that the negotiation with the kingdom is void since they are unable to keep the hostages unharmed. Before the room is completely submerged, Zoro tells Neptune to take his crew mates to safety. When completely underwater, Zoro prepares to face off against Hody Jones.



Even though Zoro is at a disadvantage being underwater and without a Flutter Kick Coating, the swordsman manages to deal a striking blow to Hody Jones. While Jones is knocked out, Zoro quickly surfaces and breathes for air. He then grabs onto Neptune as he prepares to make an escape route. Neptune creates a vortex and clears a path that allows the ministers and the Ryugu Palace guards to escape. However, Neptune's back gave in, putting him, Zoro, Usopp, and Brook in a dangerous situation. Neptune's whale, Hoe, arrives to save them, but before they can leave the palace, Jones, energized by Energy Steroids, stops Neptune with one hand. Zoro, Usopp, Brook, and Neptune are then captured by the New Fishman Pirates. They then lock up Zoro, Usopp, and Brook in a cage in a room with rising water, and plan to drown them after executing Neptune.

Brook then shows a new ability in which he can leave his body in spirit form. Zoro instructs Brook to tell Pappug to bring him his sword so they can escape. They eventually do escape and appear in the Gyoncorde Plaza with the rest of the crew, preparing to fight against the New Fishman Pirates.

Battle for Fishman Island


Zoro along with Sanji were getting ready to face off against the enemy. However, Luffy used his Haoshoku Haki and took down half of them. Zoro was quite impressed and he commented that if the captain couldn't do that much, they'd have to search for another one. As the battle with the New Fishman Pirates initiate, Zoro defeats the Iron Shell Squad with a sword twister. Later, Dosun tries to attack Luffy as he approaches Hody. Zoro intercepts Dosun and knocks him down.

Later, when Hyouzou goes on a rampage and tries to attack Robin, Zoro intercepts the octopus merman before he reaches her. Zoro comments that Hyouzou will be a good warm-up for the New World. Regardless of Hyouzou's strength, Zoro manages to cut his swords. Zoro then comments that Hyouzou's power is not even enough to kill his boredom. Despite being disarmed, a still-drunken Hyouzou merely smiled and complained.

Later, Zoro seemingly lowers his guard and insults his opponent by calling him a frog. An angered Hyouzou then draws new swords, coats them with poison, and attempts a sneak attack. Zoro effortlessly cuts him down and comments that he's just a frog from the bottom of a well. After all the leaders of the New Fishman Pirates have been defeated, the Straw Hats look up into the sky as Luffy tries to destroy Noah. When the Sea Kings appear and stop Noah from falling, saving the ship and the island at the same time, everyone on Fishman Island celebrates.

The After Battle Celebration and Departure
After the battle he is seen with the rest of the crew and their friends by Thousand Sunny, commenting on Chopper's inability to move. He then watches as Chopper performs a blood transfusion between Luffy and Jinbe. Afterward, while floating in the air on the ship, Zoro is appalled at himself for fighting in public the way he did, saying heroes have to share their drinks, and he wants to keep it all for himself. He then goes with the rest of his friends to Ryugu Palace for the celebratory banquet, where he yells at the guards not to call them heroes. He is then seen happily accepting a drink from a mermaid server and later laughing with Franky and Hatchan. Zoro is later seen sleeping next to Nami, Usopp, and Sanji, who drank, ate, and lusted too much, respectively. Luffy wakes him up by asking if he sensed some kind of animal in the palace. The three of them then confront Caribou and Zoro watches with Sanji as Luffy sends him packing. When the Minister of the Right notices that one of the prison towers was cut in half, he suspects Caribou was the culprit but Pappug tries to tell him it was Zoro. Zoro tells Pappug to let him blame it on the thief. He and Luffy then make the connection that Caribou was also the one who stole the palace's treasure and are surprised when Nami gets mad at them for sending him flying. She then sends Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to look for him.

They found Caribou, who was knocked out already. The three then collect the treasure and make their way back to the palace. Luffy asks Zoro which direction to go. Zoro points to one direction and Sanji immediately suggests they go the other way to which Zoro takes offense. They soon arrive at the Candy Factory and meet Big Mom's messengers: Pekoms and Baron Tamago. Zoro questions the Yonko's manhood and Tamago points out that Big Mom is not a "man". Zoro is seen smiling when Luffy answers the phone call from Charlotte Linlin. He is present when Luffy declares war on her.

After returning to the palace and informing the crew about the situation with Big Mom, Nami beats Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji for giving the treasure to the Yonko. Afterwards, Zoro and the crew say their farewells to the citizens of Fishman Island and set sail to the New World. While heading to the New World, the crew decides to catch some sea fishes to eat. Zoro stated that they should have a party to celebrate entering the New World. later, Zoro uses his involved 360 Pound Cannon to kill the giant sea monster. As the crew gets caught in the Whitestrom, a group of whales (all of which look like Laboon) stop them from getting lost. After Brook plays Bink's Sake, the whales bring the ship up to the surface of the New World and Zoro comments that it looks like entrance to Hell.

Arriving at Punk Hazard


Soon after entering the New World, the crew spots an island surrounded by a sea of flames. The Straw Hats then receive a distress call from someone who seems to be in trouble and mentions a samurai attacking and killing them, before the broadcast cuts out. Zoro asks Brook about the samurai, who answers that samurai are the Swordsmen of Wano Country, who have a closed-door policy to outsiders and are not affiliated with the World Government.

Later, the crew draw straws on who to be the landing party. Zoro, Usopp, and Robin all draw the red straws and then accompany Luffy to Punk Hazard. Nami makes a safe road over the sea of flames for them out of clouds, as Zoro and the rest snack on the box lunches Sanji made them. Acting on a threat from an earlier argument, Sanji had slipped razors & poison into his meal but Zoro merely crunched away, as they had no effect on him. Zoro bugs Usopp about returning to his cowardly ways and not eating, himself unaffected by the danger present. As they set foot on land, they come to an iron gate walled up. Zoro slashes the gate down, letting them open. As they explore the island, they are affected by the heat as Zoro and the others strip down from the heat of the flames. They come to a city, finding it blazing-hot with most of the buildings melted. Looking at the structures, Robin deduces the buildings to be a former government base. As they begin to explore, they stumble upon a massive skull bigger than a giant's that had perished during this catastrophe.



Feeling a presence nearby, they are surprised to encounter a dragon, a monster that Zoro had previously believed to be a myth. The group engages the dragon in battle. Eventually, with a combined effort from Usopp and Luffy, Zoro manages to cleave off the dragon's head. The group then discovers a pair of talking dismembered legs stuck to the dragon's head, which take off in pursuit of a Shichibukai.

After the group cuts up and eats the dragon meat and takes the rest with them, they continue their expedition. As Luffy plays with the legs, pretending to be a centaur, Zoro draws the group's attention to a remarkable sight: a lake separating the flaming half of the island from a frozen, mountainous region on the other half. Usopp then sights a humanoid figure with wings.



Luffy's group then receives a call from Brook, who informs them that the Sunny has been taken to the frozen side of the island and that the other Straw Hats went missing. After Luffy and Robin defeat two centaurs, the group then decide to go to the frozen side of the island. To cross the lake, Usopp forms a boat from Pop Greens. While the group rides on the boat, the centaur that Luffy had just fought jumps after them and informs his boss that the pirates are heading his way. The four Straw Hats then see a group of centaurs waiting for them on the other side. The boss spots Zoro and thinks that he was the samurai who attacked their comrades. The centaurs then fire their bazookas at the water around the boat, capsizing it and leaving Usopp and Zoro to hold up Luffy and Robin. Zoro moves to attack the centaurs, but is instead dragged underwater by sharks. The centaurs prepare to attack the Straw Hats again, but they are stopped by Brook, giving Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Usopp enough time to escape the lake. After emerging from the freezing water, they plan on stealing coats from the centaurs. After defeating them and stealing their coats, the group uses Brownbeard as transportation to Vegapunk's former research facility. They soon arrive at the scene where Law and Smoker just fought.

After Luffy talks to Law, the group quickly gets away from the Marines and meets up with Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Franky, and some of the children that were held prisoner in the research facility. They then take shelter in the back side of the facility. The Straw Hats then tie up Brownbeard and bring each other up to speed on the current situation. After interrogating Brownbeard, they learn about a man known as Caesar Clown. Kin'emon later leaves the group to find his torso and Sanji (in Nami's body) and Brook volunteer to go search for him while having perverted thoughts. Nami makes Zoro go with them to ensure that they will not do anything indecent.

A Weapon of Mass Destruction


Zoro's group later sees the Yeti Cool Brothers' massive footprints and decides to follow them. When they reach the edge of a cliff, they encounter the yetis. The brothers fire KYP bullets at the group, knocking them out and sending them falling of the cliff towards an icicle trap. Fortunately, Zoro destroys the trap before falling unconscious. After Sanji kicked Zoro and Brook to wake them up, they then walked and stumbled on a frozen Kin'emon by accident. After learning that Kin'emon's torso has fallen into the lake, they go to the lake to retrieve it. They then run into Brownbeards' men, but the centaurs choose to run instead of fighting. When they are close to the lake, Zoro then noticed a mountain he did not remember from the previous time he was there. Zoro, Sanji, and Brook then stare at the slime and comment that it is doing something mysterious.

As Smiley continued to shoot itself over the lake, Brook tells the group that he once read a book about the slime, and that it melts away women's clothes. Zoro notices that the fish are surfacing on the lake, realizing that they have been poisoned by the slime's toxins. As Sanji jumps into the lake to find Kin'emon's torso, Zoro and Brook try to fend off the Smilies close to their position.



Zoro watches Brook try to attack the slimes which releases poisonous gas with each hit. Zoro tells Brook that cutting is no use and should eat it instead. Once Sanji resurfaces, he yells at Zoro and Brook for not doing something about the slime, to which he simply states that attacking it did not work out. Zoro then watches as Kin'emon uses his Kitsunebi-ryu to cut the slimes as well as the fire caused by the subsequent explosion. Impressed by Kin'emon's performance, he then claims that the samurai's swordsmanship had sparked his interest.

Zoro is later seen fleeing from Smiley along with Sanji, Brook and Kin'emon. He then watches with the others as the slime begins to change its shape. Resuming its attack again, Zoro and the others begin to run again, deciding to head for the research facility to find Momonosuke. As they run from Smiley, they come across the giant piece of candy left by Caesar for Smiley, and a small dragon made by Vegapunk. They then see a screen appear with Caesar on it but choose to continue running.



After witnessing Smiley exploding, Zoro, Sanji, Kin'emon, and Brook run quickly away from the poisonous cloud. They see the small dragon flying away from the poison cloud, and Zoro proposes the idea for them to get on its back and fly away. Struggling to catch up to it, Sanji is able to rush ahead after being motivated by his perversion. He then catches the dragon, allowing the group to finally ride it. Eventually meeting up with Nami, Usopp, and Brownbeard, the two groups turn their attention to Caesar's lab where Zoro and Kin'emon are able to cut down the iron shutter, allowing them to enter.

As a result of cutting the iron shutter, the poisonous gas is then able to flow in. The G-5 Marines are able to plug the hole with boards and they blame Zoro and Kin'emon for putting everyone in danger. They prepare to arrest the Straw Hats and Brownbeard and Zoro is getting ready for a fight. Law interrupts them and then tells everyone present about a way off the island but will have two hours to escape. The groups then split into three teams with Zoro going with Kin'emon, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji while the G-5 Marines goes with Tashigi. Usopp tells Zoro of Luffy's earlier defeat at the hands of Caesar. Zoro then mentions about how his group were beaten by the Yeti Cool Brothers and comments on how they cannot let their guards down anymore. While Luffy goes after Caesar, Zoro yells at him, telling him not to be careless and reminds him that they are in the New World.



When the G-5 Marines attempt to capture the Straw Hats, they are repelled by Zoro, Kin'emon, and Brook's three way attack. Tashigi stops them from fighting any further and allows the Straw Hats to continue on their way. One of Caesar's henchmen fires a cannon at the wall of Building A, allowing the gas to enter. As the gate exiting Building A is closing, Zoro and the others then make a dash for it. They manage to escape to the passageway to Building B before the gate seals completely.

Brownbeard, Kin'emon, and Zoro's group go on ahead through Building B, leaving Tashigi and the Marines to mourn the ones who did not make it. After attacking Tashigi's group, the small dragon goes after the group riding on Brownbeard. Zoro, lying on Brownbeard's back, appears unfazed by the fire the dragon is breathing, and merely comments that it is more dangerous than the large dragon due to its agility.

After the dragon's defeat, the group then find Chopper (in Monster Point) trying to prevent the children from getting their candy. Regardless of his efforts, the children beat him down and run pass him when the Rumble Ball wears off. Zoro, Nami, Kin'emon, Robin, Usopp, and Brook quickly come to Chopper's aid and run after the children to the Biscuits Room. Once they reach there, they encounter Monet. Zoro asks who it is, and Usopp says that it is the bird woman he had seen before. As Monet stabs Robin from behind, Zoro shouts her name out and interferes from Monet attacking further stating she is a Logia user and that he will fight her and tells Robin to handle the rest of the kids as he clashes with Monet.

Monet tries to attack Nami, Robin, and Chopper when they attempt to go after the children, but Zoro quickly blocks her. Nami retaliates with a Heat Egg, damaging Monet. She then dives into the snow and stops Nami, Robin, and Chopper from leaving by creating a wall to block their path. After Robin shatters Monet, Zoro slices down the barrier, allowing Chopper, Nami, and Robin to escape the room and go after the berserk children. Monet and Zoro then continue their duel, and Monet comments that oddly enough, Zoro is not on the offensive at all and wonders whether she could defeat Zoro. Sanji, Tashigi, and the G-5 Marines later arrive at the Biscuits Room. Zoro and Sanji then comically yell at each other, despite the serious situation. Tashigi then decides to stay with Zoro and fight against Monet while Sanji and the Marines go find the children.



Tashigi and Zoro begin to argue over Zoro's dismissive treatment of Monet and his apparent reluctance to cut her, with Tashigi believing this to be another example of Zoro's sexism. Zoro gets mad at Tashigi and then he decides to sit out and let Tashigi handle Monet. After a while, Tashigi starts to lose against Monet. After Monet bites Tashigi in the shoulder, Zoro steps in and cuts Monet on the cheek with Busoshoku Haki. While Monet is shocked, Zoro shows how serious he is and slices her in half with Daishinkan. However, since he did not imbue Haki into his attack, Monet survives. Monet becomes filled with terror knowing that Zoro could have killed her if he chose to. Upon pulling herself together, she tries to attack Zoro in the back only to be struck down by Tashigi. Shortly afterwards, Tashigi berates Zoro for not dealing the finishing blow to Monet when he had the chance, and then she once again gets irritated with him when he tells her that he would have cut Monet if Tashigi didn't. After Zoro congratulates her and lets her have the credit, Tashigi gets angry and asks why he talks to her as though he is above her. Zoro simply responds by saying that she is indeed below him, much to her annoyance.

After the battle, Tashigi and Zoro try to get away from the deadly gas. Zoro carries Tashigi over his back while she asks him to put her down as soon as they reach her subordinates. While being carried, she notices his rare sword Shusui, and get excited about it. Zoro tells her to stay still and quiet.

Zoro gets together with the rest of the Straw Hats, the G-5 Marines, the kidnapped children, Law, Momonosuke, Brownbeard, and Kin'emon who has been petrified by the deadly gas. As Zoro tries to help Brook solve Kin'emon's predicament, the group enters a rail cart in an attempt to escape the island. While riding through the escape passage, Zoro defends the cart by slicing the falling rubble. Once they made it outside, they find Franky in his Franky Shogun and two of Doflamingo's subordinates, Buffalo and Baby 5.

Aftermath


After the defeat of Buffalo and Baby 5 and the capture of Caesar Clown, Zoro has a feast with everyone else. Later, while Tashigi and her men are taking the children away from Punk Hazard, the Straw Hats leave with Law, Kin'emon, and Momonosuke. While sailing to their next destination, Dressrosa, Luffy tells everyone that he and Law formed an alliance to defeat all four Yonko. Zoro seems eager for the challenge. With everyone gathered around, Law explains to the crew about Doflamingo's connection to the underworld and the plan to decimate Kaido's forces.

Later that evening, Kin'emon notices that Zoro is holding Ryuuma's sword and demands a duel with him, accusing him of defiling the grave of Wano's hero. Zoro denies doing such thing as he fends off Kin'emon's attack. Kin'emon eventually ceases his attack when he learns that his son is bathing together with Robin. On the next morning, everyone reads the news about Doflamingo's resignation from the Shichibukai. They see that the newspaper also explains about Luffy and Law's alliance as well as the alliance between Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo.

The Next Objective
After Law contacted Doflamingo to inform him that they will bring Caesar to Green Bit, Zoro had a meal with the rest of the crew while Kin'emon and Momonosuke told them the story about how they were shipwrecked and drifted to Dressrosa, how Momonosuke was separated from his father, and how Kanjuro was captured. The Thousand Sunny later approached Dressrosa.

After arriving at Dressrosa, the group split up into teams. Zoro went along with the team to destroy the SAD factory and save Kanjuro. The team saw everything Dressrosa is famous for and stop by at a restaurant to get something to eat after putting on disguises. At the restaurant, they found some thugs taking advantage of a blind man while taking away his money in a roulette. After Luffy called the thugs' bluff, they then witnessed the blind man used some gravity-like ability on the thugs.

After the man left without saying who he was, a commotion started with various people having their possessions mysteriously stolen. A bystander claimed that it was the work of fairies. Zoro got instantly worked up when he noticed that Shusui was missing. Zoro managed to spot the thief holding his sword and immediately gave chase alongside Sanji and Kin'emon. Kin'emon declared that when they capture the thief, he will duel Zoro for the sword.

Zoro eventually lost sight of the thief. When Sanji was distracted by a woman named Violet, Zoro ran off, leaving Sanji behind. Zoro later caught up with the thief and retrieved his sword. Right after that, Zoro saw the thief, a dwarf named Wicca. Zoro then grabbed her as she berated herself for getting caught. Since she sprained her leg, she begged Zoro to take her to the flower field so she can report to her commander. She informed Zoro that the Donquixote Family was on their way to attack the Thousand Sunny. Zoro was about to rush to the shore, but Wicca urged him to carry her to the flower fields first. As she guided him, she berated Zoro for his terrible sense of direction.

Zoro and Wicca later arrived at the Riku Royal Army Headquarters hidden beneath the flower field where Franky and the Thunder Soldier are also present. While Wicca tries to remind Zoro about the Thousand Sunny, he watched Luffy competing in a tournament at the Corrida Colosseum via a video broadcast and is grumpy that he did not get to participate along with Luffy. After learning that Usopp and Robin also have an encounter with the dwarves, Zoro suddenly remembered that he needed to get back to the Thousand Sunny.

Zoro was then seen running back to the Sunny with Wicca beside him. On the way, Wicca told him about Jora as well as Doflamingo's three strongest subordinates. They then ran into Sanji and Kin'emon.

After learning that Nami's group back at the Thousand Sunny was in trouble, Sanji went to save them. Zoro and Kin'emon stayed behind at the Corrida Colosseum, wondering how to get in. Bartolomeo then spoke to them and offered to help them find Luffy while asking for Zoro's autograph. With Bartolomeo's guidance, Luffy came to them.

Zoro stated his frustration of not being invited to compete in the colosseum. He then informed Luffy that the colosseum was surrounded by Marines, who quickly dismissed the fact despite Kin'emon's shock. They then engage in a conference call with Sanji and Franky's group. After everyone is brought up to speed and learned the true situation on Dressrosa, they gained Luffy's approval to join the revolution. Zoro, Kin'emon, and Luffy then witness the dramatic conclusion of a battle between Doflamingo and Law which raged across Dressrosa and stopped right outside the colosseum. They are shocked to see Doflamingo standing above his opponent and then shoot Law three times at close range.

The Decisive Conflict Against the Donquixote Family


Zoro and Kin'emon then rushed Doflamingo to save Law. Zoro was intercepted by Issho, the blind gambler they had helped earlier. As Kin'emon informed everyone of what was happening, Issho used his ability to push Zoro underground, but the swordsman was able to propel himself and send a flying slash towards the Admiral, which he repelled commenting on it being merciless. After Kin'emon was kicked away by Doflamingo, the samurai informed everyone that the blind gambler is actually a Marine Admiral.

Both Doflamingo and Issho float above their opponents using their abilities, taking Law with them and head towards the palace. After the Marines started pursuing Zoro and Kin'emon, Zoro told Luffy to find the exit. They then heard that the Sunny was under attack by the Big Mom Pirates, who are after Caesar Clown. While Sanji's group continued on to Zo and Franky's group was left in charge of destroying the SMILE factory, Luffy decided to go to the palace with Zoro and Kin'emon to rescue Law and fight Doflamingo.

After Luffy finally escaped the colosseum, the trio wore disguises to elude the Marines, provided by Kin'emon's ability. Zoro was annoyed that Luffy had been crying nonstop. Luffy then revealed to Zoro and Kin'emon that someone dear to him is still alive.

Zoro, Luffy, and Kin'emon later arrived at the lift that leads to the royal palace alongside the dwarf, Wicca. There, they encountered Viola, who offered to guide them to the palace. After getting acquainted with her and learning about her ties with the Riku Family, Zoro's group was then led to a secret passage. Once inside the passage, Zoro suggested that they use a basket used for lifting supplies and that Luffy should climb up carrying a rock and hang from the chain to act as a counterweight for the basket to move up. He and Kin'emon then sit in the basket before Luffy reached the top.

They were later seen at the palace rampart tower. Viola was about to sneak them in, but Luffy went ahead and smashed his way through the gate. Having alerted the guards, they decided to charge in. Once Zoro, Luffy, and Viola reached the Rampart Tower B-1, they were intercepted by Pica.
