## One Piece Chapter 1033, pages 14-15: Shimotsuki Kozaburo - Chapter: 1033 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, King, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Enma, Shimotsuki Village, Kozuki Oden, Beast Pirates ### Summary Page 14: Zoro pieces the history together: Shimotsuki Village was founded by pirates, his grandmother told him about it, and the master swordsmith Shimotsuki Kozaburo left Wano illegally over 50 years ago. He realizes, "That geezer was a samurai of Wano!!" Kozaburo's teaching echoes in his mind: named blades stay vigilant and wait patiently to find a swordsman worthy of them; it is said that a sword chooses its wielder. Zoro finally understands what Enma is doing: "That's what this is... It's testing me...!!" King still advances with the flame on his back, but Zoro's confusion is gone. He sees Enma's draining not as malice, but as a trial. Page 15: Zoro concludes that the sword is not acting out of malice; he simply has not been measuring up to its standards. He tells himself that Oden was easily able to wield Enma, even while so much Haki poured out of him. Zoro asks, "Is that it, Enma?!" and understands the price: he can only appease the sword if he keeps going all out with his Haki, but that could kill him. Below, Beast Pirates spot him and shout to King that the Pirate Hunter is there. They rush in, saying they should help take Zoro's head and will surely get promoted. Zoro rejects hesitation, saying, "No... This is how it's meant to be!!"
