Wado Ichimonji

A sword of great personal importance to Roronoa Zoro, the Wadō Ichimonji was once Kuina's and her family's named sword. It is one of the 21 Ō Wazamono Grade Swords. Upon Kuina's death, Zoro asked for it from her father. The sword is a pure-white hilt, with a circular hand-guard, the sword is described as "magnificent" by Tashigi when it catches her eye in Logue Town. Currently, Tashigi of the Marines is hunting Zoro for this very blade as she cannot understand why such a beautiful blade is in the hands of a pirate.

Abilities
As one of the twenty-one finest katanas in the world, the Wadō Ichimonji is a powerful blade when used by a competent swordsman. It is also quite durable, as shown when Dracule Mihawk's Kokutou Yoru smashed against two of Zoro's swords, this is the only one that did not break at all.

When used by Zoro, this sword is usually placed in his mouth for his Three Swords Style. When using his One Sword Style, Zoro would usually use this sword for it. Its toughness is further demonstrated by the fact that Zoro used it for his Ittō-Ryū Iai: Shishi Sonson technique against Mr.1, cutting through his steel body.

In the water seven ark, Zoro also mentions that he can sense the presence of the sword, stating that there is something "off" about it. He was also able to use it to slice allong the length of a smoke stack from the top down, despite being jammed in the top of said stack and so unable to move his arm. The blade apparently generated a shockwave, since the slicing effect extended many times further than its reach.
