Summary
Haunted by the memory of Kuina, Zoro drifts through the seas, carrying the weight of a promise that has defined his life. Even amidst the camaraderie of the Straw Hats, he finds little joy in anything beyond his swords and his training.
When the crew arrives in Loguetown, Zoro witnesses a marine swordswoman take down two men in a single slash. Her sudden display of skill mirrors the ghost of Kuina in unnerving ways. The encounter shakes him deeply, forcing memories of his lost friend to surface and leaving him shaken in ways he rarely allows anyone to see.
Throughout it all, Sanji watches quietly. As Zoro grapples with grief, admiration, and confusion, a fragile tension begins to grow between him and Sanji, hinting at a bond that might become something more.
