Should Zoro get a sword with a devil fruit power?

Pants-eater

Further more, a sword "eating" a fruit is just impossible

I find it quite normal for weapons merging with Devil Fruits. It IS One Piece.

Maybe something like a crystal/diamond fruit that can turn itself into crystal or diamond. That's be neat, or even form crystal/diamond out of the earth.

Zoro has no need for those things. He can cut anything. At least, he will be able to.

Maybe a double-double fruit, where the sword could project a double of itself anywhere in visible space, allowing him to use the sowrd at range. Heck, that'd make him a 4 sword swordsman!

Zoro would not use that as it would be cheap and the idea of such a thing is quite… lame.

Hidan

don't know if anybody said it already, but i wonder if zoro or anybody else will ever have a sword made of that strange mineral i never remember the name of, which is the DF user's weakness…think it'd be cool if there were such weapons..though this'd probably make him almost invincible..

Captain Bellamy

The material is named Seastone and as far as I see it, Zoro doesn't need that to completely own a DF User.

Pants-eater

Seastone sword is major blargh.

You know, with most DF swords, they're always zoan. What about if Zoro got a Logia sword?

@Impel:

i still prefer the normal zoro.. coz it maintain the balance of the characters..

I like the way he use the 3 swords with mantra..

Gaiyae

If zoro gets a DF sword.. You might as well give Usopp a DF slingshot, nami a DF climatact , and Sanji a DF shoe.

GrizzlayLeslay

I was thinking Zoro could get a seastone sword. After all, Smoker uses a seastone weapon and he's one helluva badass. But then again, Zoro would be pretty much invincible, which Smoker is not (as considered with the weapon). So maybe not.

A DF shoe?

Impel Down

Nami doesn't need a DF clima. She's got dials.

GrizzlayLeslay

Good point.

We need to see more dial-related fighting from Usopp, by the way. His fight with Luffy just isn't enough.

Impel Down

What we need is for Sogeking to use some dials.

@Gerchak:

I'm on the fence here. If Zoro got a DF sword, it would seem like he wasn't relying completely on his own skill, you know? Look at how Lasso vastly enhanced Mr. 4's combat advantage, or how Funkfried made a wimp like Spandam a force to be reckoned with. Zoro does not want/need a Devil-Fruit-imbued blade, in my opinion.

GrizzlayLeslay

You hit it dead-on. Zoro's technique would surely weaken by relying on a df sword.

Sogeking using dial weapons? Hell, I'm down for Sogeking even showing up every now and then, just out of nowhere! Usopp can use Sogeking ala Clark Kent/Superman, and Chopper and Luffy will get all starry-eyed each time he appears.

Impel Down

Of course, there's all the fanboys who think Sogeking is Usopp from the future, but that's something diffrent all together.

Anyway, now I'm asking: Why doesn't Luffy use a DF weapon? He isn't eating it, so he could use it.

because that would cause luffy to be unstoppable

gamistras

well zoro doesn't need a DF sword or a seastone sword or a DF or something like that,his will,training and concetration are more than enough

maybe usopp who uses gadgets will have a DF weapon,or franky but zoro won't

anyway the good thing is that it will never happen!

zoro eventually may get the first kitetsu since he has the third and maybe a blacksmith will make wado ichimoji better but a DF sword will certainly not have zoro as his master

Impel Down

In the end, Zoro will probably end up getting the 1st generation dimention splitter.

hurrricane

Zoro doesnt need such an overpowered sword. I also hope, that he won´t get a Dragonsword. I think his strongest and best sword is the Ichji Monji (written so?) from Kuina, because it keeps her soul and Zoro´s will and promise to become the best ;).

*Meh*

Well, getting down to the question of "should" versus "will"; a DF sword would be useful if Zoro had to fight Logia-powered swordsmen, but so far in the story he has not. Whether or not he should is based mostly on his ability to defeat his opponent; whether or not he will is based solely on his(or rather, Oda's) choice. Seeing as he turned down Usopp's offer to upgrade his sword with dials, it's doubtful he'd go for a Devil Fruit sword.

Xelso

i too would hate the idea of a df sword and it would be quite lame, a seastone sword could be possible, but i think since he fights like a true swordsman suposely all his oponents would be true swordsmen evolving they're own technic. i think zoro could get a new sword, dunno the why but i think its possible, and it would be a first class one, a sword with a reputation equal to his inne deamon… like an "asskicker hardcore devilish posessed sword" (you get the idea). i seriously hope sanji will get a df shoe and namy df panties (to kick brooks ass(obvious, you naughty naughty))...

Brook COULD use a DF cane!

Sanji's boxer's should eat a df vacuum…

..wait.. <.<

Crimz

If u have a sword with a devil fruit, u wun be considered a swordsman at all. I feel that having a sword with a devil fruit power is totally cheap at all as u dun even need a skill. Like spadam he just call funkfreed to attack and he attacks with great power. The power comes from the sword not the swordsman in this case.Another example is preist ohm. even though his sword has no devil fruit, he has attached a dial to it. Another cheap swordsman. Priest ohm have no skill at all but totally relied on his sword.

There fore Zoro shld get a higher class sword but nt a one with a devil fruit. Both zoro and mihawk respect the "swordsmanship" greatly and it would be considered rather dishonourable like you guys said.

Impel Down

Yeah, if you were considered a swordsman because you use a DF sword, then Spandam is a swordsman and Mr. 4 is a sniper.

Kishido

I have an idea…. Everyone should eat a DF or get some seastone stuff...

Ok, I'm sorry but I have to say no...

BlackGalleon1

Not only would I hate it if Zoro were to get a sword with a DF, I would also if he got a seastone sword. It would "Spandam-ize" Zoro so much that all his future wins would be accredited to him having swords with a cheap-ass trick to them, totally ruining Zoro's worth as a swordsman. Maybe I am going too far, but imagine if he were to beat Mihawk using those type of swords. What would people, particularly Zoro haters, have to say???

I've been saying for a while that Luffy should wear gloves with Seastone on them.

Don Krieg

What about a devil fruit that doesn't make him stronger, it's just would make him more able and would be able to do more attacks?

Impel Down

….what, the able able no mi?

zero chan

@Don:

I'd be really disappointed in Oda. That he ran out of ideas so quickly that he has to resort to using DF.

Impel Down

That would be like the DF that Mihawk, according to cocaine high fanboys, ate.

gamistras

i think it is stated that mihawk hasn't eat any DF,anyway if someone should a get a DF/seastone weapon why not usopp? he is the gadget master so why not him having a seastone and a DF weapon?

and about sanji i can't see why he won't eat a DF later,if for instance after brook 2 non DF nakama join why can't sanji eat a DF?

Impel Down

Zoro could get a Dial Sword from Usopp.

dinty

Usopp already asked Zoro if he wanted dial upgrades for his swords, and Zoro already refused. It's in Chapter 301.

http://groups.msn.com/onepiecemangav-2/chapter301lq.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=7239

Yet more proof that Zoro is reluctant to cut any corners on his path to becoming the strongest.

Sanctum

I'd love to see Ussop find some way to make Impact dials by himself. He could make impact dial ammunition and just have Sanji kick them or Luffy punch them to charge them up prior to fights. Then he just shoots them from Kabuto. Like a god-damn cannon.

But to be back on topic, I don't see Zoro having anything to do with DF's, nor do I want to see him with any kairoseki weapons. It'd just cheapen his character. Sanji shouldn't have one either for that matter. Maybe kairoseki soled shoes maybe? That'd be moderately alright…

AnotherHero

If they dont have a DF by now or didnt when they joined up then i cant see a character gaining one. Their styles are so embedded in their character that at this point changing them up with a DF would be awkward/probably not that impressive unless it was

And if i see anyone eating one theyre defiently not in the stronger half of the crew. So Zoro, defiently not. Sanji, thats also a big n-o.

As amusing as it would be to have Zoro get a DF sword…I would have to say no to the idea. Zoro's already got his fighting style...he uses his straight brute strength in combination with his swords...

It would really be funny though...if he had a sword that ate...lets say...the Snake Snake fruit (Just makin' junk up...) Having the sword change back into a snake mid-battle would make for hilarious situations...but it's still a bad idea.

Impel Down

Zoro's sword will probably be like Hogback's crazy ghost sword.

dinty

Huh?
I don't remember Hogback having a sword. Which Chapter was that in?

Sanji The Cook

Maybe Zoro will get Excaliber? …It could happen...

GearSecond

DF Sword? No, he's a swordsman who uses his sword, like a sissy Spandam who uses Funkfried to fight for him.

I think he needs at least one Kairoseki sword, or to have the tips of his blades lined with Kairoseki, so that they can cut DF users.

Sanctum

Maybe just a seastone dagger, and then he can still rely on his swords for when actually fighting swordsmen. Dagger would just to be to clear out DF users.

Pants-eater

Maybe Zoro will get Excaliber? …It could happen...

No it can't. Just thinking of such a horrible idea makes me sick in my gut.

I have to agree that a DF sword would be pretty lame (although the idea about a Logia one was interesting). However, I don't see what's wrong with a Seastone one.

It's not like the Seastone would do anything to normal swordsman, it would just be a normal sword to them, and if he does encounter a DF user I still don't see it being a big deal. I could be mistaken but Seastone only drains when in contact with a DF user right? So it would only sap their powers when Zoro was hitting them so it wouldn't be Zoro being cheap it would be him not letting his enemies be cheap.

Of course it'd probably be best if he just got a normal sword, or even got his broken one fixed, I just don't think a Seastone sword would be a big deal.

SuperStar

Well, anything is possible. "Hawkeye's" Mihawk does state that he weilds the "strongest blade in the world." I actually believe it is his own skill that makes the blade that renown.

Zoro could get a devil fruit blade but I doubt it.

Shishou

I think a Seastone edged sword is possible. So that it only works when cutting a DF user or when it connects rather. That way he can cut logias at least.

DF sword is also possible. Would have to be some wierd one like a heat DF (that isn't fire, just one that makes the blade glow in heat). Or maybe a size DF that allows the sword to extend in size or girth…

BlackGalleon1

@GearSecond:

He already can cut most DF users anyway. What he can't cut are logia and Buggy. It would be lame for him to cut logia because his sword has some some cheap trick up it's ass. What if his sword happened to be stolen/lost? All of a sudden he is useless infront of a logia. Look at Shanks, (probably) one of the 2 best swordsmen in the world. He uses some ordinary (looking) sabre, not some gimmick seastone one.

@Shishou:

Would have to be some wierd one like a heat DF (that isn't fire, just one that makes the blade glow in heat).

If he wanted that he would have allowed Usopp to upgrade his swords (not to mention a cheap rip-off copy of Sanji's Diable Jambe). What people don't realise is that giving Zoro's sword a DF is basically the same (and just as stupid) as giving Zoro one. E.g. if his sword were to have a logia fruit and he could use it's power, then the only difference between him and a real logia user is that he can't turn into the element and he can swim. And if were a zoan then all his 1 on 1 fights would become 2 on 1. That woud just cheapen Zoro's ability as a swordsman, and most of his victories would be credited to his sword and it's power, not him and his hard work and skill. Like I said before, if he were to loose that sword then suddenly he looses power and is weaker; he becomes a shadow of what he was with the sword.

Seriously, if it's ok/cool for Zoro to get a DF and/or seastone sword(s), then why not give Sanji one seastone shoe and one logia DF shoe and have him fight AoKiji? All he has to do is step on AoKiji's foot to stop his powers and then let his other shoe use some uber, deus ex machina type attack to OHKO AoKiji; then we all can start celebrating and discussing Sanji's development into such a powerful, world class fighter.
