## One Piece Chapter 195, pages 15-16: Mr. Bushido - Chapter: 195 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Mr. 1, Koshiro ### Summary Page 15: Mr. 1 is stunned. He asks, "How can you still stand... Did you somehow dodge all the falling rubble even after getting so thoroughly cut up!?" Zoro stands calmly, his breathing steadying. He thinks, "...DODGE? ALL THESE ROCKS...? NO... I KNEW... I KNEW WHICH PLACE THE ROCKS WOULDN'T FALL..." He closes his eyes, focusing his senses. "IT'S UNDERNEATH THE ROCK OVER THERE..." He feels the presence of his sword. "MY SWORD..." Mr. 1 is confused, "What're you-" Zoro grips his sword, experiencing a profound realization. "I'VE HAD THIS FEELING BEFORE... WHEN ALL AROUND ME BECOMES QUIET... AND MY OWN HEARTBEAT BEATS LOUDLY AS A DRUM... THIS IS THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH..." Page 16: Zoro focuses intensely, his heartbeat echoing in his ears. He thinks, "'BREATH'..." He looks at the falling rocks, realizing, "NO, NOT A PRESENCE... SOMETHING MORE DEFINITE... ALMOST LIKE A... THESE FALLING ROCKS... I CAN SENSE A KIND OF PRESENCE ABOUT THEM, AS IF THEY WERE LIVING THINGS..." He looks at the ground, a palm tree, and a rock, sensing the "breath" of each. "...COULD THIS BE IT?... AS DOES THE SOIL... THE TREE HAS ITS OWN BREATH, THE BREATH... OF ROCK..." A memory of his master, Koshiro, surfaces. Koshiro says, "LISTEN WELL, ZORO. THERE ARE SWORDSMEN IN THIS WORLD WHO CAN'T CUT ANYTHING." Zoro connects the dots, "TO BE ABLE TO CUT NOTHING... DOES THAT MEAN TO KNOW THE 'BREATH' OF THINGS...!? IS THAT... THE ABILITY TO CUT THROUGH IRON!?"
