Zoro's sword related thread (SPOILER)

[Elric]

@mrkaizoku:

Why is it that so many of you think Zoro has to meet with Tashigi before/while he gets his new sword?

Lack of imagination^^?

[Corson D. Burley]

Toes. Hammer. My thoughts exactly.

I think Oda has more of a brain than that. It's a bad idea. Almost as bad an idea as Zoro taking the elephant. It would just be poor storytelling, and I expect MUCH more than that from Oda.

[immelmann]

yesh for some reason i have this habbit of agreeing with carly often.
well i'm very very sure funkfried will NOT be zoros next sword. why would zoro wield a whimpy shrimpy sword like that? franky scared the sword into reversing it's power, then smashed it ontop of S-Panda. i really see zoro using completely normal swords, just one's that are legendary for their sharpness and strength. takashi took a nice sword from the Mr. 11 guy, so swords or great caliber are avalible on the grand line. i think zoro with either have to take a sword from someone else or recieve one. but yea, i would much rather see someone make zoro a special katana, maybe the same person who made all the demon splinters will be found?
and the sandai kotetsu was definatly stronger than the white snow sword, if zoro had used a left handed attack on the guy the swords demonic aura would of protected it.

[d3adpool]

probably been said before but this is a nice time for a seastone sword. Dunno, you could say that it's cheap and that Zoro won't need it after he enhances that "cut all things aura" but dunno. My guess is Mihawk also have a seastone sword (black blade).

and black bladed swords > all other swords.

[Voodzik]

Franky scared frankfried because he was improperly weilded. A real swordsman wouldn't rely on the sword to do all the work like Spandam did, he'd train the elephant to react to his wielding in a way that made his techniques powerful.

And I think Frankfried would be a good addition to Zoro. It's like Luffy's gears, and all the other new weapons etc. It branches the fighting style out without ruining it.

Oh, and I will say this every time I post in this thread: Zoro lost his sword in the same arc we were introduced to a magic sword.

[Polygon]

I think it'd be cool if Usopp got Frankfried as a closerange weapon.

[Voodzik]

Nah, not Usopp. Now if frankfried was a HAMMER, I could see it.

[onemoment]

This does raise the question, what will happen to Funkfried after this? Will he be arrested, start a new life with a new master, or just get released into the wild?

[*Meh*]

While I cannot see Zoro keeping Funkfried for regular use, I could see him using it to defeat Mr. Rust. It's not like he would risk using Kitetsu or Wadou on that guy.

[dazze01]

There is only one reason in why Zoro would never use Funkfreed, and that reason is Zoro uses KATANAS…. Funkfreed is a large english sword for crying out loud! And it would certainly slow him down.

[d3adpool]

actually Frunkfried looks more like a falchion. english swords = bastards, claymores or fencing's rapiers.

but yeah, this is a good point. doesn't fit his character for him to use anything other than katanas.

[kljs]

however, given the circumtances, he can use other kind of swords…. just like in the Arlong arc..... he had to use Johnny and Yosoku's swords....which aren't katanas.....

[Xskart]

maby Ussop takes Funkfried:D Ussop is the One who uses Gimmickweapons and Funkfried is a great Gimmickweapon and for Ussop it could be usefull in shortcombat agains low level crap.

[kljs]

Usopp Hammer is better…...

[Adam]

Have anyone thought of a sword in style "smoker stick"
(um not a stick that makes smokes :getlost:)

But a sword made with the seastone.
Both Smoker and Croc said that the seastone is unbreakable so its a fine match with Zoro.
Tho im not sure that you can sharpeen it but it would be a friking good sword.
(Zoro would even be able to defeat Luffy so on other thought…. No he wont get that kind of a sword....)

well... um... i was saying.... um... yeah right....:ermm:

[FireFistAce 0]

We thought about it, but a Kairoseki sword is another gimmick sword, which Zoro wouldn't go into.

There's only three other named swords that we've seen and I think Zoro will obtain at least two of them at some point. One is the Kuroken that Mihawk has. The second is Autumn Rain, held by Tashigi. The third hasn't been named, but it's held by one of the Gorosei. To me, those are three of the most powerful swords in the world. Zoro will more than likely obtain them all.

[kljs]

what if it is Tashigi that will give Zoro one of the meito she got in the next arc? possible…...

[lpzie]

let's post a collage of pictures of zoro's broken sword. to remember all of the good times it had. all of the people it cut. all of the times it helped someone.

[Onigumo]

Posting pictures of the black handled sword? Sounds fun. Maybe even cooler if they were posted in cronological order.

[Orca18]

@cfmrfrpfmsf:

I believe something like this is a precursor to the next crew mate after shipwright, and that would be a blacksmith. did you notice whenever the crew needs a service they don't just get it from a person they get a person who can do it to join their crew, and now since they attacked te government I doubt zoro can just walk into a sword shop and buy a new one.

Yeah I agreed, probably Bill the Bootstrap will join SH crew or his son Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) would join SH Crew ^^; coz his not Jack's mate either

Blacksmith is a good idea en there's still open position's for that
For Zorro's sword..yeah..he need kairoseiki swords to beat up DF user…
Anyway..GO ODA!!! Make more surprise for us!!

[psolaras]

Yeah!!! i like the idea of zoro using funkfried,he could also have afro hair and oda will replace zoro's battle theme with stayin alive and brother louie:getlost:

now about the idea of zoro having a sea stone sword or mihawk's sword,:wassat: ,it could be possible,zoro will first cut his balls and make them earings and then he will marry dante in amsterdam and after a heroic adventure they will name their baby devil may cry

and he could also take the gorosei's sword along with funkfried and mihawk's sword,so what if they rule the world? so what if they have one million or billion soldiers? all zoro needs to do is link jiglypuff's microphone with majoria's main sound system

–-->–--->

and then people ask where 4kids get these lame ideas,maybe they are visiting the forums

[Voodzik]

I see nothing dumber in an elephant weilding master swordsman than I do in cook who's eyebrows spiral because they are fillied with the energy of the universe.

[nihilism]

i wouldnt mind him having more then 3 swords. i dont think funkfreed should be a 'main sword'. it'd cramp his style. but it'd be cool as a 'pet' or extra sword when he needs to rip the planet in half.

[KamenRiderNeko]

@Carly:

I changed the title 'cause hello SPOILER. smack

He will probably get another named sword. Though it would be pretty sweet if someone made a sword just for him. shrug

yeah, i agree with that ^^ which is why i hope they do find someone like a blacksmith or something one day…. its just a thought

[- NeX -]

the next sword… will be...
ZANGETSU!

[Polygon]

I wonder if something akin to titanium will make a debut in OP? Wadou doesn't seem to be normal steel, or perhaps not steel at all.

[dazze01]

Yes…Zoro's swords are truly HARD and i mean HARD. It might be made from some MYSTERY METAL!

[Ashen]

now you guys got me wondering about funkfried, if he was melted down into a new weapon(hammer or new sword), would the elephant df still be operational?

[HikaruYami]

@Adam:

(um not a stick that makes smokes :getlost:)

(Zoro would even be able to defeat Luffy so on other thought…. No he wont get that kind of a sword....)

well... um... i was saying.... um... yeah right....:ermm:

Yeah… I guess you sharpen it the same way you make a seastone staff and a set of five seastone handcuffs? how the f*** DO they do that, anyway? Shichishiki=seven forms, so the seventh form is super immortal invincible metal cutting attack!! I'm too lazy to come up with a name for the seventh form's attack, though.

Yeah... but also, seastone is now an even greater weakness of Luffy's, because theoretically, if he gets touched by seastone while in Gear2, he dies instantly, because he temporarily loses all rubber ability while he still has air in his blood vessels. And in Gear3 touching seastone, his arm would explode, and it would temporarity be like a more bloody version of when Shanks lost an arm. Also, if it was his left arm, there would be a high chance of death, because that's right next to his heart. Technically a high chance of death if it's any part of his bone structure exploding, but hey, it's Luffy.

Then I have to remind myself that it IS Luffy. None of that could ever happen to him.

[kabrumbs]

First was Sogeking-sword. Now they will find BW and Zoro will use Mr1

[kljs]

after reading some of the posts here, I think having a seastone blade/hilt isn't a good idea for Zoro…..who relies on his own training and skills..... it would be very damaging to him more than his opponent...mentally wise.....because he knows that one of his sword has seastone on it.....it would mean a disadvantange to a devil fruit based swordsman ........ which Zoro won't be too keen to have the advantage.........

[Adam]

I have been thinking again. :happy:
What if Zoro will create a new DF sword. I WOULD LOVE TO SE ZORO WITH A GUNBLADE :ninja::ninja: (Not as a seriuse matter just as a fun thought)

Tho even if this seem far away from "Zoro style" there could come someone in OP that might have one. NO! Oda wouldnt what to make a ripoff from FFVIII now he wouldt right!=!?!=!=!?

Talking about other weapon i want Soge-King (You know who) to explain his new slingshooter.

And do anyone think its possiple that someone in OP have two DF abilities. I know that if someone eat two fruits they die. But Oda is still Oda

Oh and thinking about it… hm um im starting to go abit from the topic

[Carly]

Oh holy goodness. I still think you people think too much @_@

I doubt he'll get Funkfried 'cause Zoro's not about gimmicks. (Putting aside that WTF Asura thing he did with Kaku, but that whole fight was WTF) Getting a sword with a DF would just cheapen him and demean his whole journey, imo. You can argue in OP for swords having souls or not but they're not living beings like DF-items are… if Zoro used a DF sword he wouldn't have done things on his own power.

So I don't think it's Funkfried.

[dlo62282]

It still doesnt change the fact, that a superior sword makes a better swordsman even better. A swordsman does not use his power alone, he always use the power of his weapon as long with his or her skill.

Mihawk faught Zoro with the little sword because if he fought with his main sword, he would have been way more powerful. How does having a powerful sword cheapen you? It makes no sense. Swordsmen want the best swords.

He does magical things with his demon sword anyway.

I am not saying I like the idea, but Funk fried was a sword. Plus, if used correctly, he could take out half the marines with one strike with a sword like that.

[Overtaker]

Im not so clear on this but isnt the sword zoro holding now looks like funkfred ?

[kljs]

Gunblade? Devil Fruit sword? lol…...

Let's not get overexcited here..... overpowering Zoro now, isn't a good idea to the storyline......

I would really like to see a gradual upgrade....but definitely need some better katanas, seastones one would have to come later into the Grand Line....... since they might be very rare.....

[Voodzik]

Actually, gunblades were REAL weapons of the time. The muzzle of the gun came out along the side of the sword blade. So really, Zoro with a gunblade isn't as ridiculous as it sounds at first.

[andrew86]

Well, stepping outside of the known good swords, what do you think the chances of Zoro finding an unknown sword are? One that happens to be just as good as any of the, say, 21 or 50 great swords, but previously undiscovered. I dunno – Just a thought.

[Kaku. 0]

damn

if it is really broken i am down. because Yubashiri was my fav.

[Matrias]

I think Zoro getting magical weapons is stupid and retarded. He's a character that relies and his own strength, and as far as I'm concerned, another rare one suits me just fine.

[kljs]

getting another katana one class below Kuina's katana is also a good alternative….....

yeah, I agree with matrias....... Zoro relies more on his own strength.....which is what Zoro really is...

[psolaras]

maybe a blacksmith will make better the wado ichimoji cuz i don't want kuina's sword to be overshadowed by a rarest and better sword too

[kljs]

@psolaras:

maybe a blacksmith will make better the wado ichimoji cuz i don't want kuina's sword to be overshadowed by a rarest and better sword too

I like the idea…... a better upgraded wado would be perfect.......

[methrun]

Now that Zoro have that 3-headed, many-arm Demon form, I think he will get another demon sword like Kitetsu 3rd Generation but instead it was Kitetsu 2nd Generation. I think he will gradually replace Wado Ichimonji with Kitetsu 1st Generation and use Wado Ichimonji only in the greatest battle(like against Mihawk).

[kljs]

there is no way Zoro won't be using Wado….because it is Kuina's sword, its like he and Kuina are fighting together.........

[Voodzik]

It LOOKS like the Kietsu 2 or 1 is in the hands of one of the Gorousai. Also, the Hakweye's sword could be the 1, he does call it "the finest in the world."

If Hawkeye DOESN'T have a kietsu, I think Zoro will end up wielding all three. (I'm still with the side that says Tashigi is Kuina, not that I'm sure how it worked out. But whatever, it could happen anyway.)

[1swift]

if zoro uses something as stupid as funkfried…then at least MY respect for him as a swordsman dims a bit...Zoros whole learning process (sword must have power and grace yadda yadda) becomes useless if he just has a sword that he can just let loose on people...funkfried is a joke, zoro needs a real katana with a real background

[ChopChopCannon]

Mihawk will appear at Enies Lobby and Zoro will steal his Black Sword. (Kuroken, I think.)

Seriously though, it'd be weird for Zoro to get Funkfreed, because then he'd have to take care of a pet elephant…''-_-

[Voodzik]

I dunno…the marines knew about it, at least.

That was my whole point though. Zoro would, if he got franfkried, WIELD him, not use him as muscle like Spandam did.

[Buccaneer]

The whole point of Funkfreed is that he's Funkfreed. If Zoro doesn't use him effectively, it would be the same as Marine Sword A, only he'll have a stupid pet around when not fighting. If he does, he'll become a cross between Mohji and Cabaji.
