Summary
Zoro had always believed that a sword was honest. Not noble or sacred. Not any of the romantic nonsense people liked to attach to them.
A sword revealed exactly what its wielder was. A weak hand produced weak cuts. An uncertain heart created hesitation. A careless swordsman left flaws in every movement, every strike, every decision. Steel exposed every mistake without mercy.
That was why Zoro trusted swords more than people. People lied. People hid things. People pretended. A sword couldn't.
Maybe that was why Zoro couldn't stand careless people touching his swords.
Zoro frowned. That thought had come from nowhere. Or rather, from somewhere he preferred not to examine too closely.
With a sigh, he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the Sunny. Somewhere above him, breakfast preparations had already begun. He could hear the distant sound of chopping.
For some reason, he found himself listening. Just for a moment. Before eventually muttering a curse, getting out of bed, and heading toward the kitchen without quite admitting—why.

Summary
Secrets are a powerful thing.
It was a secret let loose from the lips of the late pirate king that began this new age of pirates altogether, after all. It was the threat of a secret’s revelation that destroyed Ohara and left the devil child Nico Robin the last of her people. And it was a secret that kept the world safe from the ancient weapon Pluton, its location lost to the sands of time.
Crocodile had learned early on to guard his secrets with his life.

Summary
“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”
Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-
“You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.
Zoro sees red.
