ONE PIECE Chapter 1117 Confirmed Spoilers! | Saint Nasujuro vs. Zoro
Saint Nasujuro vs. Zoro
The battle that everyone predicted and has been eagerly waiting for—Saint Nasujuro vs. Zoro—is finally about to happen!
How Zoro descends to the lower Fabrio Phase is still unknown, but given his current strength, it seems plausible that he could leap down from the Lab Phase without harm. He’s likely there to regroup with his crew, but there’s also the possibility that Nasujuro’s Haki and swordsmanship drew him in.
Whether or not Saint Nasujuro is a battle-hungry character is unclear, but his swordsmanship is powerful enough to remind us of Mihawk, and even Zoro, who easily defeated Lucci, considers him a formidable opponent. It seems that Nasujuro recognizes one of Zoro’s swords as the Kitetsu. Zoro’s sword is the Sandai Kitetsu, while Nasujuro might be wielding the Shodai Kitetsu.
If Nasujuro acknowledges it as a Kitetsu, it implies that the Kitetsu blades are indeed special. Although Nasujuro has yet to blacken his Shodai Kitetsu, it suggests that turning a Kitetsu into a black blade is a high hurdle. Zoro could learn a lot from this encounter, especially since he has awakened his Conqueror’s Haki, albeit in a way that is still largely drawn out by Enma.
Fighting Nasujuro, who likely wields Conqueror’s Haki, will be an invaluable experience for Zoro, especially as he prepares for an inevitable rematch with Mihawk. While Luffy seems unable to defeat the Five Elders, will Zoro be able to land even one blow on Nasujuro? Even if he does, it’s clear that Nasujuro would regenerate immediately…
Meanwhile, the remaining Four Elders seem to be targeting the Iron Giant…
