## One Piece Chapter 1033, pages 5-7: Shimotsuki Kozaburo - Chapter: 1033 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, King, Enma, Sandai Kitetsu, Ipponmatsu ### Summary Page 5: Zoro's strong technique appears to do nothing, and he stares in disbelief, saying, "Nothing?!" King stretches his pteranodon head and beak again, preparing the bizarre elastic strike from the previous battle. Zoro is stunned that one of his strongest techniques did not work, but Enma interrupts him again, flaring and pulling at his arm. Zoro yells, "Stop it!! Enma!!" while King builds another attack with "Imperial... Tempura..." Zoro realizes he cannot afford this distraction now and cries, "Not now!!" The page stacks two threats on top of each other: King's lethal body mechanics and Enma's refusal to stay quiet. Page 6: King fires the stretched-beak attack with "Udon!!" and hammers Zoro into the wreckage again. The impact drives Zoro through stone and smoke while his swords scatter. King mocks him: "A swordsman beaten by his own sword!! That's a first!!" As Zoro tumbles, he spots one of his blades and calls out, "Sandai Kitetsu!" The page makes the danger personal for Zoro. Losing his swords would mean losing the foundation of his fighting style, but diving after them while King keeps attacking leaves him open to being crushed. King sees that and sneers at him for risking himself to save a sword. Page 7: As Zoro reaches for Sandai Kitetsu, he remembers the day in Loguetown when he first took it from Ipponmatsu. Ipponmatsu warned, "You already wield Sandai Kitetsu. That is one of mine." Zoro called it cursed, and Ipponmatsu panicked that he could not sell it because Zoro would end up dead and Zoro's blood would be on his hands. Zoro answered, "I'll take it," accepting the risk. In the present, King attacks again and asks whether Zoro has lost his mind, shouting, "Risking yourself to save a sword?" Zoro still burns from Enma's drain, but the memory reminds him that he has always chosen dangerous blades knowingly.
