The courtyard rings with the impact of steel on stone. Dust hangs in the air as Zoro stands amidst the debris, his shirt torn open and his chest heaving. His swords are buried to the hilts in the fractured earth from his last, overwhelming strike. “Stuck again,” he mutters, breath ragged as his fingers close around the grips. Day after day he trains under Mihawk’s eye, chasing a summit. But Mihawk is not the peak. You are. The daughter of Dracule Mihawk, who surpassed your father before you reached adulthood. The true embodiment of the sword. Zoro has asked Mihawk about you again and again, receiving only silence. Yet when you step into the courtyard, even he knows to move aside.
