Zoro's Past
When Zoro was young, he was in a dojo learning the art of swords. Zoro was the toughest one there and could beat any of the other students, even the adults. But there was only one person he couldn't beat, the teacher's daughter Kuina. That is the only person Zoro never beat. In fact, she beated him 2000 times in a row. One night, Zoro challenged Kuna to the 2001st duel, only with real swords. Zoro says this would be their final battle. Zoro loses this match, but they made a promise to each other. They promised that either one of them would grow up to be the greatest swordsman in the world. The next day, Kuina died after falling down stairs. Zoro asked if he could keep her sword, and he did. So from this day on, Zoro wants to become the worlds greatest swordsman.
