Skill

Haki [A]

A mysterious power that is found in every living being in the world but few can fully utilize it. It is not that different from the typical senses. Zoro has access to two of the three types of Haki being:

- Busoshoku Haki: allows the user to use their spirit as armor to defend against attacks or to make their own attacks more potent. Users can learn to use the Koka Technique over their entire body and/or weapons.

- Kenbunshoku Haki: grants users a sixth sense of the world around them and limited precognitive abilities.

Battle Continuation [A+]

Zoro has survived injuries that would have killed a normal human a thousand times over; he has been stab, slashed, and pummeled by many kinds of enemies. He once absorbed the damage and fatigue of his captain, Luffy while having sustained heavy injuries himself, something that would have killed him. He survived and was in a coma for three days.

Instinct [A]

The ability to instantly identify "the best personal course of action" during combat. Because this Skill allows for the prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms.

Noble Phantasm

Meito: Wado Ichimonji [A+] [Anti-Unit]

A sword of great personal importance to Roronoa Zoro, and it once belonged to his childhood friend Kuina and her family. It is also one of the 21 Great Grade swords. It is quite durable able to withstand strikes from Dracule Mihawk's Yoru, a Supreme Grade sword, which shattered his two other swords, cut large battleships, and a giant iceberg.

Meito: Sandai Kitetsu [B+] [Anti-Unit]

A Grade Sword forged by the blacksmith Tenguyaman Hitetsu. The sword is cursed said to bring a horrible death to all who wield it. Great luck, skill, and willpower are needed to wield this blade otherwise its bloodlust will try to make its wielder swing in the direction it desires. It possesses great sharpness and durability which can be further enhance with the use of Haki.

Meito: Enma [A+] [Anti-Unit]

One of the 21 Great Grade swords, a masterpiece crafted by the legendary blacksmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo. Described as "able to cut through the bottom of hell", it is sharp enough to be able to harm the night-invulnerable Kaido and bisect the Mountain God. It is also capable of drawing out Busoshoku Haki from its wielder in excessive amounts when swung, cutting far more strongly than intended. If Zoro were to succeed in making Enma a permanent black blade, it may increase in "rank", transforming it into a Supreme Grade Sword.

Kiki Kyutoryu: Asura [B] [Anti-Unit]

An addition to Zoro's main Santoryu. They are extensions of his spirit and are part-illusion based and Kyutoryu effectively triples Zoro's potential as a swordsman. The techniques are accessed when Zoro uses Asura, creating the initial 9-sword illusion needed to access the others.

Bio

A man who set out to become the greatest swordsman in the world in honor of his childhood friend, Zoro went out into the world looking for any to challenge swordsmanship against, aiming to take down the man considered the strongest swordsman in the world, Dracule Mihawk. He was the first member to join Luffy's crew and became the second in command of what would be known as the Straw Hat Pirates. He is considered one of the Monster Trio alongside Luffy and Sanji. Zoro was also regarded as one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".


AN: It's been a long time since I have watched One Piece; I mean how many chapters the manga has at this point? Almost a hundred? Anyway, Haki, to get it out of the way similar to Luffy is a skill acts similar to Eye of the Mind (False) [Kenbunshoku] so it would be redundant if ask why Zoro doesn't have the skill. With that said hope you guys enjoyed this entry, don't forget to comment on who you want to see in the Codex and stay safe.
