Before the Straw Hats caught a ride on the Knock-Up Stream toward Skypiea, Blackbeard and his crew arrived and Zoro learned of his bounty as well as Luffy's new bounty.
Zoro was pleased to hear he became a wanted pirate worth a large amount. Blackbeard came to capture them only to miss them before their ascent. The Straw Hats then arrived in an ocean above the clouds.
As the Straw Hats admired the beautiful cloud ocean, they sailed on and soon came to a Gate. The Watcher at first demanded they pay a fee, and then told them they may go even when Nami apologetically stated they had no money. When the crew arrived on a beach in the clouds, they encountered a Skypiean and her father.
The Straw Hats started talking to her, particularly about the versatile Skypiean Dials. The Skypiea police, the White Berets, suddenly turned up. They told the Straw Hats that they were illegal trespassers and had to pay ten times the entrance fee immediately. It turned out to be 70,,, far too high to pay.
The crew was then sentenced to a form of Death Penalty. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji swiftly took out the White Berets. As the crew prepared for their adventure in Skypiea, An enormous shrimp attacked the Going Merry.
The three decided to rescue their friends, despite the man warning them about God Enel living in the place they were headed. While Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp looked for the others on the Going Merry, Zoro killed a vicious fish shortly before it could take them to the Altar.
Zoro, Nami, and Robin sat off into the forest Zoro brushed off Chopper's objections by stating he does not even believe in God. After a while, the entire crew was reunited at the Going Merry, and Zoro used his swords to help Sanji prepare food. The next day, the Straw Hats decided to split into two teams. The second team, consisting of Zoro, Chopper, Luffy, and Robin, encountered an enormous snake and were all separated after it attacked.
Zoro soon encountered a Shandia warrior named Braham, who attacked him. Braham used powerful Dials and pistols to attack. Though Zoro was caught off guard at first, he managed to defeat Braham by using his powerful 36 Pound Cannon. As Zoro was enjoying his lunch, he winded up being carried away by a South Bird.
Zoro fought Ohm, who was revealed to be a great swordsman using a blade with a Dial placed inside the hilt. The blade shape changed to block Zoro's attacks and was strong enough to even stop his 36 Pound Cannon. After a lengthy struggle, Zoro defeated the Priest with an incredibly powerful Pound Cannon. Enel then struck the ground using his lightning, and caused Zoro to fall to the ruins where Enel, Wiper, Gan Fall, Nami and Robin were. Upon "almost successfully predicting the five survivors", including himself, Enel offered Zoro, Robin, Gan Fall, and Wiper to join him, provided that Nami was to be eliminated.
When all four openly refused his invitation by proclaiming that Enel himself would be eliminated, Enel proceeded to knock Gan Fall down with his powers.
Enel then went on to harm Robin. Zoro furiously attacked him in retaliation, but failed in harming him at all. Enel then injured Zoro, who tried to attack Enel once more, but he was shocked into unconsciousness when Enel struck him with a wolf-like lightning attack.
Later after regaining consciousness, Zoro attempted to cut down the beanstalk near Luffy and Enel upon Nami's request. He managed to cleave some of it apart, but he was then struck into unconsciousness again by Enel. Wiper then finished the job and was able to cut down the beanstalk. After Luffy defeated the tyrannical Enel and finally rang The Golden Bell, Zoro joined the other Skypieans in drinking and celebrating.
After returning from Skypiea , the Straw Hats came across a mysterious pirate ship with no captain and navigator after they tried to escape from a giant wave. They soon arrived at an island with some strange long animals, the so-called Long Ring Long Land island.
Luffy accepted the challenge with a gun shot. When Foxy decided to take Chopper after the first round, the "Donut Race", Chopper cried and said that he only went out to sea because he was asked to be a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Zoro lectured Chopper and told him that he had to be a man and that he was responsible for becoming a pirate.
In the second game, called the "Groggy Ring", he and Sanji were partnered. They were fighting over who should be the 'ball man' until Sanji took the position at Nami's request.
The referee told them that weapons were prohibited in the game, so Zoro was forced to use No Sword Style. They defeated the Groggy Monsters and won after a decisive battle and allowed the Straw Hat Pirates to reclaim Chopper. The last game, "Combat", was a fight between the two captains. Luffy defeated Foxy and chose to take Foxy's pirate flag rather than taking a crew member. Luffy made them a new flag, which ended up being hideous because of his poor artistic ability.
After having returned to Tonjit's hut, the Straw Hats met a Marine Admiral named Aokiji in the anime, they met him on a different island. Aokiji told the crew that he was only there to confirm that Robin was still alive. He then used Ice saber and proceeded to slice up Robin, but Zoro stopped him. During the fight, Zoro's right shoulder was frozen by Aokiji. After the crew returned to the Merry, Zoro and Sanji immediately jumped into the ocean when Chopper said it would unfreeze them.
After treatment, Zoro thought to himself that Luffy needed to get stronger to fight a stronger enemy. As the Straw Hats continued their journey, they encountered a sea train on their way. They stopped at a train station and asked an old woman named Kokoro where they could repair the ship and recruit a shipwright. Kokoro gave them a picture of a person named Iceburg and told them this was the person for whom they were searching. They set sail and opened the picture only to find it was just a drawing.
When they arrived at Water 7 , Zoro pulled out the sail and accidentally broke it, not realizing how poor its condition was. Soon Luffy, Nami, and Usopp disembarked to hire a shipwright. Robin and Chopper then went shopping, followed later by Sanji.
Zoro remained sleeping and guarded the ship. When he woke up, the ship was surrounded by mysterious strangers called the Franky Family. They attacked but were easily defeated by Zoro. When a man named Kaku , a shipwright from the Galley-La Company , arrived to check the ship, he mistook him for Usopp due to his long nose. Upon completing the inspection, Kaku stated that the ship could not be repaired anymore, a statement Zoro vehemently disagreed with.
The carpenter soon returned to the shipyard. In a monologue, Zoro asked the Going Merry if this would really be its last voyage. They found Usopp unconscious outside of the Franky House. The four then attacked the Franky Family and destroyed their base, more so for beating up Usopp than for stealing their money.
By then, their money had already been taken by Franky to an unknown location, so they could not get it back. While Usopp received medical treatment from Chopper, Luffy decided to get a new ship based on the shipwrights' remarks about Merry's fate. When Usopp woke up, Luffy told him this and Usopp angrily disagreed. They started a quarrel as to whether they would leave the ship or not. A few harsh words were exchanged, and Usopp then went outside saying he quit being a Straw Hat Pirate.
He then challenged Luffy to a duel, and the winner would claim the ship. Later, Zoro was seen fighting with Sanji over who was responsible for the situation. Robin had disappeared while in the city, and they were also wondering where she had gone. After the duel, the victorious Luffy was still torn up regarding the conflict. Zoro told him that as a captain, he must never hesitate or else the crew could not rely on him. He then stated that they could never come back to the Going Merry again.
When the crew later rented a hotel room, he just sat on the rooftop. The Straw Hats then became suspects to the attempted murder of Iceburg after a sudden attempt on his life was made. As Luffy disappeared, they were spotted by the Galley-La guards and started running.
When Zoro became annoyed of the carpenters, he decided to use the back of his swords to defeat them. They saw Robin with them too. Zoro attacked Kaku saying that he was not a true shipwright, but Kaku replied that he did his job correctly when examining the Going Merry. Afterwards, Zoro was quickly sent flying by Lucci in leopard form [] and ended up landing into the chimney of another building.
Zoro remained stuck there for a while, neither able to move nor reach his swords. He was later helped by Chopper, who had been looking frantically for him and Luffy due to the Aqua Laguna about to strike. Chopper gave Zoro Kitetsu and he destroyed the chimney. When he was finally freed, the two ran as quickly as possible to get away from the tidal wave.
Having heard the truth behind Robin's strange behavior, they planned to sail into the storm to pursue the sea train and save her. Paulie disagreed with their plan and was willing to fight them and stop them.
Kokoro then informed them she'd show them another sea train and introduced the Rocketman. The Franky Family showed up, pleading with Luffy to let them join them because they would do anything for their leader, who had also been captured along with Robin. The Rocketman finally made it out to sea. As the train connected with the tracks, Luffy had to rescue Chimney before she was thrown off by the wind.
With Luffy and Chimney safe in the train, Paulie told his fellow carpenters who the real culprits were. When a large tidal wave loomed ahead of Rocketman, Luffy and Zoro performed a joint move that acted similar to a cannon and blasted a hole through the wall of the wave, opening up a channel for them to pass through. They miraculously passed through unscathed and the passengers rejoiced. Nami showed off the weapon Usopp upgraded for her while he was still with them. Those on the Rocketman then encountered the discarded cars that Sanji had managed to detach from the train ahead, and Zoro sliced them so they could pass.
Zoro then clashed with "Ship Cutter" T Bone, who was running on the tracks to catch up to the train ahead. The fight was short and Zoro joined the crew again in the Rocketman, victorious. Yokuzuna the frog then jumped onto the front of the train, knocking them from the rails. After Kokoro had a word with him, he joined the group. Luffy and the others finally caught up to Sanji and Sogeking on another set of detached cars as they approached Enies Lobby. Paulie sat down with the group and talked about their plan of entry.
Luffy did not bother to follow the plan, and launched himself beyond the gates before the train stopped. As the Straw Hats arrived at the Enies Lobby together with the Franky Family and Galley-La, they planned their move going inside, but unfortunately, Luffy jumped the gun and headed inside on his own. They waited several minutes to open the first gate of Enies Lobby.
Zoro had been commanded by Kokoro to slice the fence open, but he commanded Yokuzuna to push the fence back instead. Using it as a ramp, the train flew into Enies Lobby. Together, they landed on Oimo's back and started entering the island to their main goal: saving Robin. As they were waiting for the bridge to be activated, they all lined up at the roof, convincing Robin to accept their request of saving her.
When they confirmed that the bridge would not be activated anymore, Kokoro volunteered herself to help them, using the Rocketman. The Rocketman, using the half activated bridge as a ramp and while everyone was being held by Luffy, jumped across to the Tower of Justice.
When they landed on the Tower of Justice, Fukurou showed up and declared that a key was needed to uncuff Robin. They decided to fight individually and started to search an agent.
Zoro faced Kaku, who he had already fought at Galley-La. Zoro commented that he had become stronger since then, and in an intense battle, used a new skill to defeat Kaku to finally get his key, which was number 5. After that, he and Sanji carried the injured Sogeking in the tunnel and almost drowned. Luckily, they were saved by Kokoro, who is revealed to be a mermaid. While awaiting the end of Luffy's fight with Rob Lucci, Zoro and the rest of the crew engaged in battle with numerous Marines, sent there as a result of the Buster call inadvertently triggered by Spandam.
Zoro came across a Marine known as Shuu , who used his Devil Fruit ability , causing his Yubashiri to rust. Their escape ship exploded, leaving them seemingly stranded until they heard the voice of Merry telling them to jump into sea. He complied, and with the rest of his crew, jumped on to the Going Merry. They then evaded the Marine battleships and managed to sail away from the destroyed Enies Lobby. With the Going Merry, everyone managed to escape Enies Lobby safely. After escaping, Iceburg arrived with the Galley-La company just in time to pick up the Straw Hat Pirates as the Merry suddenly broke apart.
Luffy then gave the Going Merry a Viking funeral by burning it as the crew said their goodbyes. Two days later, back in Water 7 , he was seen staring at the broken hilt of his sword wondering what he should do. Finally, he was then seen rushing to meet the others to warn them of the Marines' arrival. However, as usual, Zoro ended up getting lost on the way there. When he arrived, he was attacked by Sergeant Helmeppo with dual kukri knives, but Zoro quickly defeated the young man.
Zoro was then updated about the Marines being led by Luffy's grandfather Monkey D. Garp and reunited with Koby. He was seen trying to buy a sword but had no money and was thrown out. When Luffy was about to invite Usopp back into the crew after hearing he wanted to rejoin, Zoro took a stand on letting Usopp back in, stating that Usopp should not be allowed back into the crew if he returned still full of pride. His reasoning being that Luffy as captain must stand firm as it was Usopp that left them and lost the duel with Luffy over the fate of the Going Merry.
He was later seen when he and Sanji informed the rest of the crew that Garp 's battleship was near the island. The Straw Hats then boarded their new ship, the Thousand Sunny , and began sailing away from Water 7. After Usopp apologized for his stubbornness, he was happily accepted back into the crew with Zoro seen smiling at Usopp's return. After sailing for some time on the Thousand Sunny , Zoro and the rest of the crew came across a mysterious barrel floating on the ocean.
Upon opening it, a flash shot up from it. After braving a storm that mysteriously came afterwards thanks to Nami and Franky, Zoro and the rest of the crew found themselves in the presence of a ghost ship.
This ship apparently belonged to a skeleton named Brook who, by chance, initially accepted Luffy's offer to join the crew. Zoro then joined for dinner as the skeleton explained his past to the others. These sounds were caused by the closing of the gates of Thriller Bark.
These events prompted Brook to head to the island before Zoro and the rest of the Straw Hats' eyes. After witnessing Franky's present to the Straw Hats that the cyborg decided to show them, Zoro and the rest of the Straw Hats decided to look for Nami, Usopp, and Chopper, who had not returned.
However, before Zoro and the rest could go to the island, they were stopped by an invisible thing. Luckily, Franky kicked it away before it found its mark. The thing left Zoro and the rest baffled.
After the Thousand Sunny was caught in what was apparently an oversized spider web, Zoro and the rest disembarked onto the island. There, they met the Cerberus , which did not intimidate Zoro. Luffy caught the talking tree while Franky caught the unicorn. Zoro and Sanji then stopped Luffy before he could ask the talking tree to join the group. Zoro and the rest then came across some ghosts who affected some of them with their strange abilities. Zoro, seeing his companions in such a pitiful state, merely shook the whole matter off only to be affected by one of the ghosts himself.
After Zoro and the rest who were also affected by the ghosts recovered, they pressed forward. Zoro and the rest later met with some zombies and defeated them with a combo technique. The old man asked them to defeat Gecko Moria who had stolen his shadow. While in Hogback's mansion, Zoro disappeared not long after Sanji did. After purifying some zombies, Zoro, Franky , and Sanji were about to cross a bridge leading to Hogback's laboratory when Oars smashed it.
With the construction of a new bridge done by Franky, Sanji departed to save Nami. Later on, Zoro and Franky found the defeated Brook and saved him at the last moment from Ryuma. Seeing the samurai's sword, Zoro claimed he intended to fight and take it. After a short but intense battle, he defeated the legendary samurai [] and gained the sword Shusui from an ashamed Ryuma. Zoro, wanting to fight him, only cut off his left tusk before being defeated by Oars' attack. Later on, he and the other Straw Hats regained consciousness and started a series of combo attacks against Oars.
Using a Pound Cannon at Oars, Zoro noted how his Shusui was heavy and he was still not adept at using it. After Moria manipulated Oars' body to allow it to stretch, the Straw Hats were taken down one by one.
Before Zoro was taken down, Chopper formulated a theory that his right arm was his weak point. As his final movement, Zoro tried to damage the arm, but failed since zombies do not feel pain, and was taken out. He returned the sword Shusui, once Ryuma's weapon, to Wano. Everything seems to point to Zoro being a member of the Shimotsuki family in some way.
Most likely, he's a descendant of Ushimaru and by extension, Ryuma. It's no accident that he brought Shusui to Wano and uses katanas in his fighting style. How this will affect the story of One Piece is unclear, but Oda seems to be implying that it's extremely important for the country that Zoro has come. With so many people recognizing his resemblance to Ryuma, there's definitely something larger at play here. Even before the time skip, Zoro was already a powerful swordsman.
After spending two years training with Dracule Mihawk, he became virtually unstoppable. He is so powerful that he even managed to kill a dragon. While he is not the first character in the series' canon to kill a dragon, he is the first person to defeat a dragon since the Wano samurai Ryuma. Ryuma appears in Oda's one-shot manga Monsters , in which the events that take place are confirmed by Oda to be part of the One Piece canon.
Furthermore, both Zoro and Ryuma defeated their respective dragons in similar ways by decapitating them while in mid-air. In the third volume of the manga, Oda reveals that Zoro was originally meant to be one of the bodyguards for Buggy the Clown.
Alongside Buggy's other bodyguards Mohji and Cabaji, he was supposed to be part of a family dynamic, in which he was the older brother. In the end, Oda decided to make him Luffy's first mate. That's a decision that fans will forever be grateful for. Whenever Zoro fights seriously, his killing intent became so intense that it terrified his own allies. This ruthlessness was fitting considering that he is the only Straw Hat to be named after a real pirate.
