The month of November marks the anniversary of some historic moments for the anime ONE PIECE (although what month can’t say the same thing?) like the one who showed us the great loyalty of Zoro to Thriller Bark, or the one we are talking about today who, strangely enough, is again considered the protagonist The Swordsman.

The third episode of the Baltic Sea saga (and in general the entire ONE PIECE series, which is still in its very first season), which aired on November 24, 1999, the young ape D. Luffy recruited the first member of what would soon be the greatest gang of troublemakers around: the Straw hat crew.

In the town of Sheltz, the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro awaits his execution by the Navy, handcuffed to a pole. Luffy will be the one who sets him free and asks him to go on adventures with him (after auditioning her to Captain Morgan for good reason, of course), as you can (again) see in the video you see at the bottom of the news Find.

“”I’ll be a pirate, I promise you. I’m officially a criminal now, since I fought the Navy. But one thing I’ll tell you in a moment: I’ll do it for my ambition … To become the greatest swordsman in the world! If I have to give up, you would do well to take your responsibility and apologize to me!“Zoro said: officially accept the proposal the rubber boy who could only answer in return “The greatest swordsman in the world? Is fantastic. After all, the future pirate king could not ask less of his crew“.

947 episodes later, Zoro is still next to Luffy in Wano Country and on the best way to keep his word to his captain.

One of the best parts of watching anime is how many times a show can surprise you. Sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. But if the Otaku know one thing, it's that anything is possible.
