Chapter 1033 summary
Zoro fights King outside Onigashima while Enma drains his strength without permission. King lands a direct blast that sends Zoro crashing through wreckage, then follows with elastic beak strikes and twin blades that scatter his swords. Zoro retrieves Sandai Kitetsu and Wado Ichimonji amid the assault and recalls acquiring both blades, along with lessons from Shimotsuki Kozaburo in the East Blue village. He realizes Kozaburo forged Enma and that the sword tests him by forcing maximum Haki output. Zoro accepts the trial, unleashes a burst of Haki that drops nearby Beast Pirates, and tells King he will meet the demand because of promises made to Luffy and Kuina.
