Loguetown's Chaos

On the other side, after Zoro won the swordsmanship duel, Ying bluntly pressed Tashigi for the location of the "Famous Sword: Yuki-hashira."

"Yuki-hashira..."

Tashigi's face slowly filled with defeat and unwillingness, but she understood that this was the fate of the loser. She had no way to protect the famous sword she loved!

"Really?!"

Hearing Tashigi's astonished words, Zoro's face
