I dont know about you guys but I hate both Monsters animations and this incoming Zoro novel.
This is obviously Oda's attempt to redeem himself for failing hard in Wano when it comes to Zoro's lore.
Fuck his petty attempts, as long as he doesn't properly develop plot lines for Zoro, IN MANGA, none of this matters.
He has a chance to tie things up with Ryuma-Venus-Koushiro-Zoro and if he fails there, don't expect any lore.
