## One Piece Chapter 1033, pages 13-14: Shimotsuki Kozaburo - Chapter: 1033 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Enma, King, Shimotsuki Village ### Summary Page 13: Kozaburo rejects the idea that deadly swords are simply cursed. He calls it a joke that named blades are said to be cursed just because weak swordsmen fear them. To him, if a blade fulfills its purpose well, that is praise, and weak people can spread whatever nonsense they like. He remembers crafting his magnum opus when he was young, a blade so terrifying that someone would get chills merely holding it. He says he named that blade after "the lord of the underworld": Enma. In the present, Zoro realizes the meaning of the name as Enma continues to burn and pull from him. The old man's lesson turns Enma from a cursed inconvenience into a proud, demanding weapon. 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.
