## One Piece Chapter 1035, pages 11-13: Zoro vs. King - Chapter: 1035 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, King, Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, Enma ### Summary Page 11: The clash continues through shattered stone and fire. Zoro sees King's sword and body coming at him again and mutters, "That sword again..." King attacks from above while Zoro refuses to back down. Zoro tells him, "You're not taking away... these named swords of mine!!" The line ties the fight back to the previous chapter's focus on Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu, and Enma. King is not just trying to beat Zoro physically; he keeps attacking the weapons that define Zoro's identity as a swordsman. Zoro's answer is absolute: the swords he has chosen and been chosen by are not something King can strip from him. Page 12: Zoro pants but keeps reading King's movements. He realizes, "He's fast!! In other words... I can cut him!!" King dives in with a move called "Bird Dance!!" and Zoro waits for the moment when King's flame state changes and his speed rises at the cost of defense. The page shows Zoro finally converting his observation into a tactical opening. King is still dangerous, fast, and powerful, but Zoro has found the trade-off in the Lunarian power: when King abandons his defensive flame for speed, Zoro's blade can reach him. This understanding turns King's terrifying mobility into the path Zoro needs to win. Page 13: King acknowledges that Zoro has figured out how his powers work and that Zoro has finally glimpsed his weakness. Zoro cuts him and asks whether King is blocking now because he is scared of Zoro's attacks, since earlier King claimed they were not supposed to work. Their swords collide at close range while Zoro presses the advantage. The page makes King's confidence waver for the first time. He is no longer an invincible wall with a hidden race and a masked face; he is a fighter whose mechanics Zoro can read, punish, and provoke. Zoro's taunts are not empty pride, but a way of forcing King into the timing Zoro needs.
