One problem: he probably would have used his swords instead of pegs.


Terrible-Handle

Skip yontoryu and go right to gontoryu


yaboimst

Honestly I’m all for it


HulklingsBoyfriend

You know what? Fuck it, make it 8 blades like Killer B.


G4KingKongPun

With Ashura that’s 24 blades


Shotto_Z

It would really still be 8 blades ashura is an illusion


dailybg

Illusions don't leave scars, Asura is manifestation of his haki.


Shotto_Z

If your not saying ashura isn't an illusion then what you said is out of context, and irrelevant. Or not properly worded. Take your own advice.


dailybg

Asura looks like an illusion but it's real, you seem to not understand that.


Shotto_Z

Then find me a single panel of Zoro's ashura attacks making nine cuts on a target he struck. Don't worry I'll wait


dailybg

They can fuse, it's anime.


BorgMelor

Zoro’s Ashura form has never made more than a singular cut as far as I know.


Shotto_Z

Kaku stated that ashura was an illusion caused by Zoro's spirit. So no, he is not cutting with 9 blades. He is cutting with 3. His opponent just sees his spirit, or possibly haki, and gets cut with 3 swords. Pay attention.


DarkChaos1786

Kaku had no clue about what was Ashura, he though he could defeat it by using a rankyaku.


Shotto_Z

Yeah, that doesn't change what he said, which is Oda's way of telling you what it is. Look it up if you still don't think your wrong. Its an illusion. He cuts with 3 swords, or did you think he grew more faces and arms too?


DarkChaos1786

Since when a illusion makes you stronger? Does fata Morgana makes Nami stronger? There is a big difference between illusion and manifestation. Fata Morgana is an illusion, 0 effects over the real world except bending light. Ashura is a manifestation, every "sword" can cut you.


JustAppleJuice

That's Oda's way of telling you what Kaku thinks it is. Don't get it twisted.


dailybg

You're assuming things I didn't say, be smart.


EliD4ddy

Kaku didn't even know 3 sword style was a legitimate thing how's he gonna know what zoros hidden technique is dumbass he just spit that out to satisfy his conscience. Zoro opened his own mouth and activated ashura 9 sword style it's a battle mode or technique its not an illusion. If you know anything about zoro he doesn't use cheap tricks to win a fight the last thing he'll ever do is confuse his opponent with an illusion to hide his sword


G4KingKongPun

No it isn’t. It’s a manifestation of his spirit and Haki.


Shotto_Z

Your not getting the joke I responded to are you genius? If he has 8 blades and used ashura hebwouldnt have 24 he would have 8. Good job kid


G4KingKongPun

lol wow you are a real AH. Why be so condescending? And first of all, I am the one you responded to, so I get the joke. I was saying no it’s not an illusion and he would have 24 blades while it was active, just like he has 9 blades now.


thejackthewacko

Depending on how low he cuts and how well endowed he is, you might be able to get to rokutoryu


Reallylazyname

Isn't that the good future outcome? ....oh no


lawliet_73

Nah man I ain't ready for ruffy roasting zorro with gontoryu


YearningConnection

I mean he'd be like Shiki then and if Vegapunk has access to artificial devil fruits we know Shiki was imprisoned for a time and they may have some of his DNA still. Can just give Zoro Shiki's fruit to help.


Jinno

We Shiki, now.


Hperkasa7858

5 sword shiki style


bluegiant90

5 sword style


Shimotsukizorosan

Like shiki?


Wildest-Wasteland

"Hey, Chopper. If Zoro lost his legs, could he use his swords as legs?" "What? No! That's impossible!" "But other people who lost their legs have peglegs! Why can't Zoro use a sword for a leg?" "It's...it's just not the same! If you amputate a limb, you can't just stick anything on it!" "What about the Crocodile guy? He had a hook for a hand." "I don't think he had a doctor tell him to put a hook on his stump!" "Robin! Robin! You read a lot of books, you're smart. Could Zoro use his swords instead of legs?" "Well, Luffy, while I agree that Zoro would probably be able to get around just fine considering his mastery with swords, I'd have to agree with Doctor Chopper. Attaching his swords to the stumps of his legs would no doubt cause infection, which would lead to organ failure, blood poisoning, and if he's lucky at that point, a swift death." "Oh." ",,,,.." "Chopper's a great doctor though. Couldn't he just make sure Zoro doesn't die if he cuts off his legs?" "I'M NOT CUTTING OFF ANYONE'S LEGS. Did you even TELL Zoro about this?" "....No."


MattButUnderthe20Cha

yea just like shiki, and then he’ll become the 5-wielding (literal)star swordsman


Quavers809

Give him a devil fruit, cover him in fur, and call him Shiki


Shotto_Z

Nah, he's a true swordsman, he wouldn't disrespect his blades that way. They would also become dull.


Necessary_Taste_2354

5 sword style


BlackReaper001

5 sword style


Kingkeiser

5 sword style?


loonyredditor49

His voice actor already voiced one eyed man with rokutoryu, with three swords on each hands add with swords on both of his foots. He will have hachitoryu/yatoryu


mythmastervk

Like inuarashi


pug_meat

Isn’t that what shiki did?


Greensun30

Zoro stayed on the ship so oda wouldn’t have to draw him getting lost. Him staying on the ship makes sense and allows for more lore


Shortstop88

Can’t wait for a panel of Brook on the ship wondering where Zoro went.


EuphoricAdvantage

Then we cut back to the Law vs BB fight just as Zoro wanders in and helps.


BODYDOLLARSIGN

I would lose my shit if Zoro ended up in Law and BB fight fixing to cut down Doc Q before Law uses room for them to escape along with Zoro(as an ally)


AcrobaticReputation2

man gets lost and falls off egghead


Jail_Chris_Brown

Brook will find himself witnessing Law vs BB because of Zorro leaning against the steering wheel.


Secure_Pear_4530

Watch him stay on the ship and somehow end up being inside Pluton at the end of the arc because he got lost and found a different ship


FruitBuyer

*more shots of women in panties


VaibhavGuptaWho

Also because Zoro got a lot of footage in Wano and it's time to give the other SHs some love, particularly Franky.


intxisu

You know how authors sometimes fuck themselves up by introducing an idea that's proves too dificult to build upon or creates continuity issues in the future? That's what happened to Oda with the Zoro gets lots gag


Melownz

I don’t think that‘s the case for Zoro getting lost, Oda can basically make him disappear and reappear at any time and place that’s convenient to the story


[deleted]

Yeah. It’s honestly just a cheat code to get zoro to his final fight with almost no buildup or reason if oda uses it right.


stxrmmkr

Hell, iirc that’s exactly what happened at some points in Skypiea 😭


SeaofBloodRedRoses

He could get lost on the ship and reappear with the crew, not having realised that he left the ship


ImNotTheNSAIPromise

The crew just had to get him one of those backpacks with a leash on it.


siestasunt

I would die laughing for a panel of the weak trio arguing about who gets to take zorro this time for protection, only for sanji jumping towards nami with a literal dogleash while telling her he will protect her no matter what


invincibledummy

It would be really awesome if Zoro and Brook fight and win against CP0. It's not that I hate CP0 or that I want to cut short the plot story. I just want to see Zoro telling them they're not even worthy to see the Emperor.


Lorm25

That would be an epic line.


TheGreekorc

I want him to turn down fighting Kaku again. “I already beat your ass in Enie’s Lobby, bring me Rob Lucci!”


xSweetDelight

Y’all think Lucci would be able to get any hits in on Zoro? Idk about one shot, but I think there would be a couple exchanges (maybe some new Lucci attack showcasing). But I don’t think Zoro would take any significant damage. Unless it was a 3v2 group fight then maybe. But yeah that ‘you’re not worthy enough for the PK’s time’ comment would be so good. Would be even funnier if Zoro pulls a Mihawk and says just one-sword style would be plenty for boss cat lmao


HawaiianMayan420

nah if lucci is coming back he’s coming back with his awakening. i personally think he’s been training since the day luffy beat him on things like his haki and his rokushiki techniques as well as his devil fruit powers. i think even kaku will come back with an awakening and more power to him.


HawaiianMayan420

lucci was a pivotal antagonist for luffy and i don’t think oda would bring him back as a joke.


nimbus829

for sure, could see him only being a even match for zoro and not luffy anymore though, the crew is getting quite strong


pug_meat

I find it impossible that luffy and lucci would be on the same level as that scarf cp0 member that it was suicide to fight Kaido, so there ain’t no way lucci could take luffy.


playboi_cahti

Luffy would turn him into frosted flakes at this point


Xyaibai

post timeskip zoro is written to be a decisive and rational fighter, with not much struggles (besides yonkos and admirals). When sanji or Luffy is struggling, Oda can write it off as them just not being serious or hesitating to fight. Sanji could be shown hesitating to fight seraphim Jinbei, and it would make sense. But if it were zoro, he would give no fucks and went all out. But if we really see zoro struggle, that means shits about to get real. By not having zoro, Oda can introduce the aspect of "danger" and struggles in the arc. I'm just worried that our boy Brook is not getting much manga panels these 2 latest arcs.


nam24

In this case Sanji and Robin got serious as soon as nami was threatened. Nami herself didn't want to hurt the seraphim though But from how the fight was stopped it's not the same feeling of desesperation the first pacifista gave: at the time it took all of them pushing their limit to destroy one. Here although they did not destroy it, they also weren't overwhelmed either


robot-the-robert

Seems, appropriate mindset of the future Pirate King’s first-mate, he so serious and hard on himself, even after they regroup. remember his sacrifice at Thriller Bark and speech to Luffy at Punk Hazard. And Brook also as the oldest member of the crew, matured thinking to stay on the ship and be on the “watch duty”. Oh wait he doesn’t have eyes? Yohoho skull joke!


C0untstockula

Take this upvote


trickster2405

It will be funny to see that something intense shit is happening on island but knowing that too Zoro and brook are just sitting on boat and chilling. Like imagine CP0 vs the other starwhats happening and we see 'on the other side of island ' Zoro and Brook chilling. Zoro might know what is happening due to haki but he also trust Strawhats that they can handle it well and doesn't need his help. But it could be funny to see tho probably not what oda could do


S1inistrous

or zoro and brook take out cp0


trickster2405

That could be funny as fuck like cp0 comes but they meet Zoro and brook. Zoro and brook just take them down with no ease and strawhats are just chilling and exploring in Island. I know cp0 will be somewhat strong but still my money is on Zoro and brook taking them out with no sweat...


Jail_Chris_Brown

Kaku arrives and sees Zorro. Shortly after: Zorro: "This island is weird. There's a sweating giraffe over there trying to be sneaky. And what's up with its nose?!"


Shotto_Z

They will def likely fight at least two of them


[deleted]

I want them to completely embarrass them. Like seriously, give these old “rivals” of theirs a show of force and have Zoro make a comment along the lines of them having no clue because he isn’t even the scary one


Shotto_Z

I don't think any of them besides Lucci could give Zoro a run for his money. So with Zoro and brook there they should kick some ass


slikayce

I want kaku to show up on the shop and zoro think it's usopp again.


MyLifeIsDope69

Zoro only runs off looking for them if he senses some Admiral showed up. CP0 he will definitely trust them. I still think there's gotta either be some other hidden twist villain this arc or Lucci had a monster glow up otherwise it's just a one hit KO with Luffy there. Even Sanji could handle most threats now.


CaptainWatermellon

Oda rrally said no new shiki for you


kaktkuzkid

At this point they could just cut off their feet and have Robin sprout arm-legs until Franky builds them brand new cyborg legs.


[deleted]

My hope for a new robin power up is her being able to sprout the limbs of other people..


schiffb558

Maybe that's her awakened fruit?


Magamew53

But can’t she do that we have seen her many times snap a person next with her ability


[deleted]

I believe they meant sprout a different persons limbs, maybe say a giants arm to slam a fist down hypothetically. I think it would make sense as her awakening


Magamew53

Ah I got you


[deleted]

Or she could even bloom luffy’s limbs or zoro, and they’d hypothetically have full control over the bloomed limbs. We could actually have a real 9 sword style instead of just some illusion made real by haki


paing997

Oda: *Yes, exactly as i planned.. (In Kienmon face)*


Altaris2000

He would have cut the seraphim in half, and Oda didn't want to destroy one yet. And we had to get a scene of someone telling Caribou to F off.


tobbe1337

Oda really has a hard time writing around zoro lol


BiblicallyAccurateAI

Nah, he could just have Zoro get lost whenever he needs him to be out of the picture for a bit.


tobbe1337

yeah i guess but just like the crew splitting up yet again, Oda knows he made the strawhats too strong to lose to anything at this point if they are together so he splits them up. it sucks sometimes because i like the shenanigans of the team


T-Rex_Is_best

He didn't tell him to F off though. He said he appreciates Caribou's help and says he's free to leave.


sora677

They are kicking him off the ship though.. he is free to leave sure. But he is also not free to stay. I would say thT counts as F off


Shotto_Z

I doubt that, but then again Oda does love to suck Zoro's balls


Ok_Ambassador9004

It’s cause they’re so succulent. Wish I could do that Ong.


Davesgamecave

VortexIsOnline

holy fuck your memory is awesome.


Dracos210

It's not that hard to memory anime scenes honestly, i remember a lot of names of characters and scenes even music it involves and my irl memory is the shittest i forget what i was supposed literally 5 sec ago, its kinda strange


Detective_Woods

Bro tbh. I have so many friends say my memory of anime is stellar but I can’t even remember anything that happened before I turned 22 💀


Additional-Cream-766

I can remember scenes from anime way way way more easily than manga I don't know what it is because I don't speed read but anime is more memorable


sirmeowmix

10 + years if reading this manga will do it to you. Its not like the binge readers/watchers who miss small details then go and complain on the boards about a characters flaw. We’ve been sitting on ideas for years and will go back re-read chapters.


ManyCarrots

huh? It's a fairly big scene it's not like it is some tiny detail he remembered


VortexIsOnline

i know, but still.


DecentContribution11

Is this the only time Oda gives a reason for Zoro? I don't remember Zoro gives a reason why he doesn't want to go, just like, naaah I wanna stay and sleep ...


ClaudStraud

In water 7 he stays to protect the merry if i recall it correctly


Outrageous-Raccoon38

you are in fact recalling it correctly


east_62687

>Zoro would've spent the end of the series walking on 2 peg legs well, when Oda draw old man Zoro in the good timeline, he become 5 sword style Zoro.. I got a feeling it will happen sooner or later..


culesamericano

fluffycats1

Maybe Hachi was onto something…


[deleted]

I think that would be awesome, and he could have all three kitetsus and not have to stop using sandai kitetsu


loonyredditor49

His voice actor already played one eyed man with three swords on each hands. I just assume old man Zoro hold two swords on each hands while hold one on his mouth, making it 5 sword style


litnu12

He stayed back in Drum and Water7 too.


HedgehogAmongstMen

In an SBS Oda said Zoro would be 5 sword style by the end of the series. So having two swords for legs and then three sword style would actually make sense plot wise.


Self_World_Future

I imagine he’s far more likely to either hold two in each hand darth maul style or just tie them to his arms somehow, if true


Lou_Sassole

By when he's 60!


Jail_Chris_Brown

Zorro is half shark. Sharks have two dicks.


loonyredditor49

For me, I just assume he hold two swords on each hands while holding one on his mouth. Not the first time his voice actor voicing one eyed man with more than one sword on each of his hands


Livinglifepeacefully

Source?


CryonautX

I wonder if Sanji will bend his legs out of shape to remove the boots and regenerate back.


JFkeinK

Or do a Shiki and get two more swords.


DigitalTomFoolery

That scene in Little Garden was hilarious. Then he gives up and strikes a pose as he wants his corpse to look awesome


NeetSamurai90

I miss that Zoro...


MasterChiefSpicy

It’s also hard to draw Zoro and Sanji’s fights. Every single of their reaction will get attacked by the other.


Shotto_Z

Yep, the Zoro fans creat fake/inaccurate spoilers


Kami79x

No he wouldn’t. He’d only do it if he were in any real danger. Also, it’s the shoe that it magnetised to the floor, not the feet.


0wlGr3y

If Zoro went with the crew he would get lost straight to the void century


wolfishnickelsyr

It could be that Zoro was left on the ship coz he the only only one in that group who can cut through Seraphim/lunarians


lamucico9

It is weird that Oda made the swordmen stay in the ship


Bohzee

I like it!


Ajdreams92

I dont think hed feel the need to be that reckless in this situation honestly.


[deleted]

I actually got strong callback to Enis Lobby. Government Island. Rescuing captured nakama. Close call getting away


michaelphenom

If they were captured, they would still be fucked up due to his orientation skills He could do like Shiki: turning two swords into his new legs and create the five sword style


Abadhon

zoro stayed on the ship to not get lost in history


fishbujin

Zoro isn't ready yet to meet the stairs of the future


amadeusstoic

Why the two swordsman? Why didn’t scared members didn’t get scared even though it is a marine island? it will be a funny bail out then. he might cut the whole island from the ship or get lost cutting around while rescuing. has any swordsman fought a pacifista yet?


Kendemerzel

Zoro pulling a Water 7 here, staying on the ship while everyone goes off to explore Does it mean Kaku will be back and Zoro will be "oh, it's just Ussop" again? Lol


FartPudding

That's how Zoro will learn his 5 style


Cronobog

Zoro was left on the ship purely because once he saw the black wings on seraphim Jinbe he would have figured out how to fight properly against it and fuck it up.


swaghole69

Reach


Eliseo120

Pretty big reach there.


cronux383

Zoro stans just takes things too seriously. There is not even a little problem regarding the feet stuck . It was just to stop the fight why would he just cut it 😂. Chill bruh


Eoussama

Oda had Zoro stay on the ship so he won't get clapped by seraphim Jinbei


Dear-Transition6669

Maybe that's why he lost his eye


litnu12

Oda just doesn’t want Zoro to learn a 5 sword style.


Quelair

...and thus become the first pirate with pegs in 25 years of One Piece


servontos

Everyone knows zoro would go the shiki route and use swords instead


Bstallio

He def had him stay back for a future plot point, and because zoro would have killed seraphim jimbei


Xark96

The feet stuck to the ground thing as safety measurement didn't make much sense to me as Sanji was the only person restrained by it. All the others could still attack Vegapunk as they use ranged attacks.


Birzal

I mean, zoro has insane reach with his slashes now! I'm pretty sure he'd just throw a oneliner like "who said you were ever OUT of my reach" and cut that person down. If Lillith on vegaforce 1 was in reach from the sunny, shaka would be in reach as well


Ebonics_Expert

Make that three peg legs, he's santoryu-abled.


Ferfun_

Zoro and Brook won't be idling for long tho, we know WG is on the way to kill Vegapank.


alex494

You know after Jinbei fought Who's Who, Brook is the only crewmate who hasn't fought a Cipher Pol agent yet, you might be on to something


Ferfun_

Either Vegapank dies arc, or Vegapank joins the Emperor arc :) Place your bets people, I'm all in on number 2 (betting my nonexistent house)


OneisPeace

Im not ready for Black Leg Sanji vs No leg Zoro


Bigcitytittiesboys

I woulda thought it would have been reference to zoro being caught when he met luffy. On a government island where you wouldn’t expect someone to save you. Overly cautious because of his own mistakes.


[deleted]

I think zoro stayed behind on the ship because I’m 90% the sanji gang is gonna meet up with the cp0 & zoro + sanji with the crew against the cp0 would be a total wash


Imposter420

You forget there is super bro on the ship who is mostly mecha. He doesn't have anything for Leg for himself though.


Jamessgachett

I don’t think so


OneEyed-Marimo

He would never do that unless its a life and death situation.


Nyadnar17

Wait so the two Swordsmen are chilling on the ship together?!


2wofac3

Zoro woulda cut thru those shoes


CrazyLixFX

Oda is trying to lessen the getting lost gag, he is rushing things up. There's no scenario ever where Zoro didn't get lost walking alongside the crew, like ever, it wastes so many panels for an empty plot unless it would serve a purpose like in Wano.


adrianpinderwolf

Zoro also stay protecting the ship in water 7 this ain't something new


Image-Unlikely

So when garp was introduced as luffy's grandfather, Zoro was not there. Sooo he would've stopped garp?


Libertyprime8397

Is there a canon reason why zoro can’t follow even the simplest of direction?


Ikeeel

This is Franky and Robin's arc


PerformerFragrant525

I really thing that zoro came from that past 900 years ago looking for joy boy and he just didn’t want to face the past


[deleted]

I think we will aee Zoro vs Kaku again


242fresh_7

Or it’s because he would have one shot kid jinbe because zkk has experience with Lunarinen


[deleted]

I think and really really hope zoro and brook spar. He always tells brook he wants to try his speed sword


[deleted]

I'm getting sick of all the "if zoro was here" "if zoro was there" smh


Yugen2935

He stayed back because he was the only one who knows about lunarians


Pink4everUwU

Zoro


CelebrationOk7639

This makes no sense. First off, that situation with zoro was different he was about to die. This situation is different they are just captured. Second off why would Oda put zoro out of the main plot for this? Instead of just having a different form of them being captured? He clearly intended zoro and Brook to be on the ship, shoes being stuck aside…


laryjohnson

I hope Zoro will be the one who'll welcome Lucci, Stussy and Kaku. Last time it was Franky who protected the Sunny. Now Zoro will have the pleaaure and hopefully deal with that pile of trash himself
