"The Glowing Eye, Nidhöggr and the Price of Power"
For the second part of the greatest Zoro theory ever,
Let just throw powerscaling out of the window.
And go back to when Zoro was a kid.
Who was his strongest opponent?
Kuina. She was unbeatable in Dojo or the entire island zoro lived in.
The score is literally 2001:0
Why I said throw powerscaling out of the window? Because Zoro and Kuina had the same stuff, No Haki involved, pure skill.
Yet Zoro never managed to beat her even once.
In Zoro eyes she was unbeatable and yet thought she might never be the strongest.
Their conversation already ruled out,
Kuina was scared as she grew up Zoro would be exponentially stronger than her physical stat. But we know from current day examples characters like Boa, Tashigi, bigmom is a freak of nature so I'm not going to count her, Gunko, Candelle, hina are very much capable of keeping up with men in theie field.
So what is that one thing that actually motivates Zoro?
It's fuckin Death!
- Zoro unconsciously understands you can be unbeatable yet you can't defeat death.
- Kuina was unmatched by anyone in the Dojo, yet what killed her? A slip! What defeated her? Death!
Zoro has been challenging death itself at every point of the story itself.
Let's look at his portfolio of actually trying to die.
Oh wait, CHALLENGING DEATH ITSELF.
Zoro has been challenging death itself. He can be WSS and yet be killed or become victim to death. He wants to be so unbeatable and strongest that even death can't beat him unless it's his time.
Remember the promise panel?
It showed only Luffy and Kuina.
Promise to be WSS so great that his name reaches heavan itself. Until the day he reaches that stage, even death can't claim him. Zoro has been actively challenging death not be confused as suicidal but outmanuveur death itself.
How does your name reaches heavan?
We know underworld exist in one piece, so why not heavan as well?
Zoro has surrounded himself with death without any intention of giving up to death.
Kuina didn't only impacted Zoro to be WSS. But conquer death itself.
Kuina death has traumatised Zoro so much, that you can be unbeatable yet be killed. So in order to be WSS, you have overcome something inevitable.
Because what do you think this even means?
Search it up and bring me your goated Zoro panel/Scene and I bet it would have something to do with death. Oda never misses with Zoro when it comes to Death.
Every fuckin scene which has Zori and death in it is easily one of the most goated panel on this Manga. Nothing come remotely close to it.
Doesn't matter if you're a Zoro fan or not! If these scenes hasn't excited you, nothing will.
Even looking at the contrast of Zoro and Sanji.
Sanji character is about preserving life, being a shield which protects.
Zoro on the other hand completely opposite, acting as a sword, an instrument to kill.
Before y'all come to the conclusion that I'm saying Zoro is seeking immortality, I'm not. Zoro is making peace with death, death isn't something which will happen to him eventually, zoro chooses it. He isn't dying before he makes his goals comes true.
Now before y'all wonder how this is imp to my greatest theory ever?
Everything will make sense by the time we reach part (4/4).
For now, Stay tuned for part (3/4)
"The Underworld: Zoro's Connection to the Realm of the Dead"
"The Glowing Eye, Nidhöggr and the Price of Power"
For the second part of the greatest Zoro theory ever,
"Zoro, Kuina and the Inescapable Connection to Death"
Y'all must be wondering why Kuina is imp in the grand scheme of things.
What do you all think is the biggest thing Zoro needs to do to become the world strongest swordsman that his Name reaches heavan?
Y'all must be wondering why Kuina is imp in the grand scheme of things.
What do you all think is the biggest thing Zoro needs to do to become the world strongest swordsman that his Name reaches heavan?
- Black blades?
- Beating the current WSS?
- Strongest Haki?
- Sword skills?

Their conversation already ruled out,
- Physical stat isn't what is imp to be WSS.
- Gender isn't what is imp to be WSS.
Kuina was scared as she grew up Zoro would be exponentially stronger than her physical stat.

Zoro has been challenging death itself at every point of the story itself.
Let's look at his portfolio of actually trying to die.
- Chapter 3
- Literally trying to get himself killed with starving himself to death and tied up to a log.
-
- Chapter 50
- Zoro vs Mihawk, He realised within the battle how big is the gap. He could have accepted defeated, it's not just honor thing. Duel was already over Zoro swords were destroyed. Yet he went all out and took the final slash on his bare chest.
-
- Chapter 275
- Enel vs Zoro, He knew he was outmatched. Yet he did. It is very easy to connect all the things I'm mentioning as Honor. But it's something greater than that.
- He doesn't believe in god, But he is trying his odds against something which hasn't been explicitly stated.
-
- Chapter 466
- Kuma vs Zoro, Zoro himself admits if he can't protect his captain, WSS is nowhere in his reach. People easily mistook it as Zoro priortising Luffy goals over his. When in Alabasta when chopper asked why they are together, Zoro answered they all are set to achieve their own goals, banding together just helps each other.
- Zoro offers his life over luffy to Kuma. But again people misunderstood it. Zoro wasn't sacrificing himself, he was challenging. Not Kuma, but something greater.
-
- Chapter 678
- Zoro scolds luffy that we are not playing pirates anymore. One mistep and it could lead to death.
-
- Chapter (Dressrosa/Wano)
- Challenging the invincible,
- He has challened Pica and King post time skip as his main opponents.
- But why? Pica is invincible as long as he is touching the ground.
- King? He is invincible as long as his flames are present.
- Being invincible equates to unbeatable in some sense, which is again closer to something which is inevitable.
- Chapter 1010
- Again offers himself as a sacrifice to Kaidou, either take his head first or don't bother taking Luffy head. Kaidou was shown as the invincible during that time who can't be hurt. And he challenged that too.
- He took Hakai head on! Which is again something pretty much invincible because who in right mind has what it takes to tank two yonkou combined attack. While other supernova stood there in disbelief, Zoro was the only to take action.
- Chapter
- Taking the mink medicine and feeding enma with Haki, Zoro knew Feeding enma continously will kill him. Yet what did he do? He did it willingly. Hakai which was meant to kill all the supernova which Zoro tanked.
- + all the damage accumulated in kings battle
- And now double all of that because of mink medicine. This is literally a death sentence for any human.
- Yet he survived.
- Chapter 1095
- Challenging the literal immortal.
- I mean what has been Zoro challenging this entire time which even beats "DEATH".
- It's fuckin immortality.
- Immortality literally beats death.
- Challenging the invincible,
Oh wait, CHALLENGING DEATH ITSELF.
Zoro has been challenging death itself. He can be WSS and yet be killed or become victim to death. He wants to be so unbeatable and strongest that even death can't beat him unless it's his time.
- Luffy chapter was quoted as " the Warrior of Liberation".
- Sanji chapter was quoted as " the warrior of science".
- Meanwhile Zoro got a different chapter title entirely. " Bushido is the way to die ".
To live with honour, act with righteousness, master yourself, remain loyal to your principles, and face death without surrendering your dignity.
Zoro entire journey is about Conquering death, his final goal isn't Mihawk, it's not black blade either.
Remember the promise panel?
It showed only Luffy and Kuina.
Promise to be WSS so great that his name reaches heavan itself. Until the day he reaches that stage, even death can't claim him. Zoro has been actively challenging death not be confused as suicidal but outmanuveur death itself.
How does your name reaches heavan?
We know underworld exist in one piece, so why not heavan as well?
Zoro has surrounded himself with death without any intention of giving up to death.
- Taking on cursed weapons, which literally kills the user.
- Challenging world strongest.
Kuina didn't only impacted Zoro to be WSS. But conquer death itself.
Kuina death has traumatised Zoro so much, that you can be unbeatable yet be killed. So in order to be WSS, you have overcome something inevitable.
Because what do you think this even means?
" Strongest, beyond the strongest "
Death is the strongest force of nature, it's inevitable.
Yet Mihawk overcame that hurdle, he is already strongest in the mortal realm. But " beyond strongest "?
Like I said, you can be unbeatable yet you can't overcome death, kuina who strongest in dojo, lost to death. She didn't choose to die, it's force took even the strongest anyway.
Mihawk who overcame death, reached the top has an entirely godly aura around him.
Not only that Mihawk himself carries so many connections to death.
- The name itself, Dracule Mihawk, dracula is supposed to be an undead monster who overcame death.
- Carrying a fuckin cross within him.
- gaze so sharp, it can even kill you.
Mihawk is so fuckin goated and strong, there is no one present to challenge him anymore, Not even death itself.
Just look at Oda portfolio with representing Zoro with death and unironically these are greatest Zoro moments in the Show.

- Conclusion to Zoro vs Mihawk
- Nothing Happened
- Becoming the King of Hell (Underworld, Place where dead reside)
- Grim Reaper
- Zoro in little garden about facing death.
Search it up and bring me your goated Zoro panel/Scene and I bet it would have something to do with death. Oda never misses with Zoro when it comes to Death.
