With Zoro moving so many leaps and bounds in his fighting techniques, do you think we'll see him using one sword alot more i.e. refusing to show enemies the respect of all his might (three swords)?

Even though he slept after owning T-Bone, I don't think Zoro will continue that behavior (he still said that T-Bone was "worthy"), since he'll probably be facing Kaku for a tough showdown. Zoro, unlike Luffy, is only "serious" when A) his opponent might be stronger than him, or B) his opponent is stronger than him.

Oh my freaking god, Kai, please tell me that you didn't just spoil a chapter of One Piece for me.

I did? Oh, geez man. Sorry about that. :( Apparently I'm not thinking today. But to make it up to you, here's the link for the latest chapter in the manga, translations and all. Again, my bad.

No problem. I guess it was pretty much an expected given for Zoro to be able to easily beat T-bone.

It's just that I usually wait for the NULL translations for the latest chapters but forget it.

No need to apologize, you didn't mean it anyway.

Sweet sig by the way.

Erm, the spoilers were in yellow…

Anyway, no, I don't. A lot of people would like to see Zoro as a real swordsman, using only one sword. But that's not him. He doesn't use three swords because he sucks with one (which he kinda does), he uses it because that's his style.

Hold back? I don't think that's Zoro. But if it's someone he could beat in his sleep, maybe. Why bring out all three when they can't stand one?

Ivotas

Technically he was owning an opponent by using just one sword. Back at Whiskey Peak he was playing with Mr. 9 with just one sword.

However Zoro had the other one in his hand because it appears that he feels more comfortable with having at least one more. Not that he needs it always but it must certainly have an effect within his thinking.

BTW Buccaneer, I think the yellow spoilerÂ´s were added later on. :)

Buccaneer

Probably because he started out with Ni-tou Ryu anyway.

Green Hair

Well, he did beat Mr. 1 using only one sword. I say it's all a matter of technique he's using.
Btw, I was thinking if Zoro can cut air, does it make him strong enough to beat Smoker or Ace?

Roronoa Zolo

Well he couldn't use one sword in his fight against Buchi and Sham but he probably made up some one sworded techniques just because of that.

But seriously, he probably can use one sword but (another corny pancake example) pancakes are good without syrup, but they tase better with syrup so Zoro can use one sword but he is better with three.

Me thinks that zoro is trying not to use santouryu all the time. it would be disadvantageous as a swordsman. he need more practice in one and 2 kantana style. 3 blades are not neccessarily better then one? EG:mihawkvszoro, (ouch i say)
