∆×^°•|♡ Roronoa Zoro ♡|•°^×∆

Appearance

Zoro is a muscular man of average height with lightly tanned skin. He always carries three swords with him, tied with a green haramaki on his right hip, allowing him to easily draw them with his left hand. Of the three swords he carries with him, he is always seen with the Wado Ichimonji, while his other two swords have changed over time due to them being destroyed and subsequently replaced with progressively better ones. Although his right hand is usually resting above them, he can also use this hand to draw his swords before sitting down. He has three identical gold earrings on his left earlobe. Zoro usually wears a black bandana tied around his left bicep, and ties it around his head when seriously fighting an opponent. Zoro's body is covered in scars from his many battles, most notably a massive scar stretching from his left shoulder to his right hip, which he acquired during his defeat by the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, at Baratie. His other visible scars are the scars he inflicted on his ankles in a desperate attempt to free himself from Mr. 3's Tokudai Candle Set while attempting to cut off his legs in Little Garden. After the timeskip, he gained another scar above his left eye, obtained through unknown means. Another notable feature of Zoro is his cropped green hair, which Sanji often teases him about, calling him "marimo".

Nature

While Zoro cares about his crew, he can also come across as a very blunt and cold person, especially when trying to get his point across. During the fight with Davi, when Chopper was forced to join Foxy's crew after losing the tournament, Chopper cried and complained, prompting Zoro to yell at him and claim that he was disgraced. He reprimanded Chopper, reminding him that it was his choice to join the Straw Hats and take part in the fight, and advised him to gather his courage and believe in the crew to bring him back. Similar to the trial, when Usopp left the crew, Zoro refused to let him return and even yelled at Nami to shut up when she tried to say otherwise. Zoro lectured the entire crew, reminding them that Usopp was the one who fought Luffy and left of his own free will, and they cannot allow him to return until he takes responsibility for his actions and apologizes for his behavior. Zoro also often reminds others of harsh facts, which often shocks some of the other crew members, though they usually decide that he is right in the end. This is especially true around strangers, as Zoro rarely shows much trust in others. This was evident when Nico Robin joined them, and he was the only one to keep her on guard, as she was a former enemy. However, over time, he seems to have learned to trust others more, as he agreed to an alliance with Law and believed Hiyori when she revealed her identity to him.

Character 2.0

Even in moments that are particularly difficult for the crew and call for sadness, Zoro prefers to maintain a quiet solemnity rather than express his emotions outwardly. He has been shown to believe to some extent that these emotions can interfere with his judgment as a swordsman: when Ohm asked him if he wanted revenge after finding Tony Tony Chopper injured and unconscious, he responded that he did not like fighting for reasons like that. However, despite this statement, he cares deeply for his teammates and wishes to protect them at all costs, telling Ohm that despite his preference for fighting without motivation, he feels it coming. Zoro generally maintains a very stern, serious, and aloof personality, but often loses his temper in a goofy and over-the-top comical manner. However, this anger seems to be the only emotion Zoro often feels comfortable showing. Outside of situations where he feels confident in a fight, he is the least likely of the Straw Hats to smile or laugh, rarely fooling around with the rest of the crew, and prefers to distance himself more to sleep or train. In fact, his defeat at the hands of Dracule Mihawk and subsequent oath to Monkey D. Luffy is the only time since the death of his friend Shimotsuki Kuina that Zoro has been seen crying in the series.

Style without a sword.

When he was short of swords during the "Ring Groggy" event of the Davy Back Fight, Zoro used an ability known as "No-Sword Style", in which he could use the physical strength of his body to emit shockwaves reminiscent of sword strikes. By throwing his arms forward, he created a whirlwind, sending Pickles flying towards his teammate Big Pan. Since Pickles was holding swords, the attack caused him to cut Big Pan multiple times.

Single Sword Style

The Single Sword Style is a sword fighting style that Zoro began to perfect and then master. Like the previous styles, Zoro has exceptional skill with a single sword, and has used this style on numerous occasions to perform finishing blows against large numbers of enemies. Like the Two Sword Style, this style utilizes flying strikes and various drawing and resheathing techniques, primarily to defeat or injure powerful opponents with a single strike. This style was able to hold off the Nyaban brothers of the Black Cat Pirates[132][75] and take out several lower-ranking members of Arlong's crew. During their journey through the Grand Line, Zoro's skill with the Single Sword Style improved greatly; He has defeated Mr. 1, Baroque Works' strongest officer-agent,[73] cut a giant beanstalk in half,[133] finished off Ryuma, a powerful samurai and zombie,[75] incapacitated a fish-man like Hody Jones underwater,[85] decapitated a massive dragon,[134] and even cut off one of the Skull Dome's right horns; in the anime, he scratched Kaido's cheek.[135] Using it, Zoro dispersed Kaku's Rankyaku "Amane Dachi" with a single attack with a single sword while before he needed the Nine Swords Style, a remarkable feat as the former CP9 agent soon joined CP0, consisting of Cipher Pol's strongest agents, waking up moments later.

Two Swords Style

The Two Swords Style is Zoro's original fighting style that he used as a child, before he began practicing the Three Swords Style. Like the Three Swords Style, Zoro has immense mastery over this style of sword fighting, wielding both of his swords in combat with great strength and skill, even including unsheathing and resheathing techniques as well as flying strikes. In Thriller Bark, before he acquired Shusui as a replacement for the destroyed Yubashiri, Zoro was able to simultaneously wield the Wado Ichimonji and Sandai Kitetsu with incredible strength and precision, able to equally fight Ryuma, an immensely powerful zombie samurai imbued with Brook's swordsmanship skills through the Kage Kage no Mi for most of the battle before switching to using the Single Sword Style to finish off the undead warrior. Using the Dual Swords Style, he was able to fight Monet, a Logia user and officer of the Donquixote Pirates, whom he finished off using the Single Sword Style, as well as Gyukimaru, an extremely powerful warrior monk, without using his full strength. He was also able to easily defeat several members of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, the strongest ninja in Wano Country, despite only having two swords at the time. With the dual swords, he was able to block and deflect King's beak attack after the All-Star transformed into his massive beast form.

Three Swords Style

The Three Swords Style is Zoro's primary sword fighting style. Unusually for a human, he wields three swords at once, holding one in each hand and one in his mouth. Many of Zoro's attacks in the Three Swords Style utilize all three blades to strike opponents, striking them multiple times or slashing multiple opponents at once. When performing flying slashes in the Three Swords Style, Zoro can create whirlwind attacks, demonstrating the ability to catch and strike dozens of opponents at once. He can also effectively use all three of his swords to parry attacks and even counter attacks performed by multiple opponents at once. Zoro has shown little trouble dueling opponents who wield more swords than him, particularly the six-wielding Hatchan and the eight-wielding Hyouzou, deeming the latter not even worth his time.

The Power of Three Swords 2.0

During the Wano Country Arc, Zoro developed the King of Hell's Three Swords Style (閻王三刀流, En-Ō Santōryū?), a greatly enhanced version of the Three Swords Style where he goes all out with Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki; greatly increasing the power and range of his techniques more than any of his previous styles, which was able to injure and defeat one of the last surviving Lunarians, King, whereas before he shrugged off his strongest techniques so far. However, since the use of the King of Hell's Three Sword Style relies on Zoro allowing Enma to deplete his Haki reserves, he cannot maintain it for that long before he runs out of Haki and will need time to regenerate it.

Relationship.

Although he appears to be loveless (asexual), Zoro has a slight crush on Princess/Queen Nefeltari Vivi of Arabasta/Alabasta.
