Alvida, the Cabin Barrel

As Zoro's words fell.

He drew Wado Ichimonji from his waist.

A cold gleam flashed through the street.

The ancient blade of Wado Ichimonji radiated a fierce, chilling aura in Zoro's hand.

Yet, in Kuina's eyes, this fierce aura—

Was like a kitten.

It held no intimidation whatsoever.

With one slash.

A small gust of sword wind swept toward Roya.

Yes.
