Knowing that Zoro's arms could be restored, the gloom hanging over the Straw Hat Pirates instantly vanished.
Zoro was even more unable to hide his excitement.
Without his arms, his dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman would become even more distant.
But no matter what, he would never give up on his dream.

"Ten years of lifespan is nothing."
Compared with everyone else, Zoro showed little reaction. His gaze merely grew incomparably fierce.
"Even twenty or thirty years
