"Eight Desolations Sword Case," Kuina said casually.
"A sword case? Are there swords inside?" Zoro asked in surprise.
"Yes, eight," Kuina replied.
Zoro grew even more curious. "Why put eight swords in it? Because it's called Eight Desolations?"
"I don't know much about the Eight Desolations Sword Case's origins. The captain gave it to me," Kuina continued. "The number of swords this case releases depends on your skill in swordsmanship."
"A case that can do that actually exists?" Zoro was becoming more and more interested. "Let me take a look when we get to the Flower Field."
"No."
"Uh... why? It's not like I'd steal your swords."
"I know what kind of person you are," Kuina insisted. "But I still won't lend it to you. By the way, what are you going to the Flower Field for?"
Zoro stumbled again. "You don't even know what's going on, and you still want to help me?"
"Yes," Kuina said seriously. "I promised Father I'd look after you once I went to sea. So your business is my business."
"Wait!" The more Zoro listened, the stranger this sounded. "Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
"No," Kuina continued. "I could mistake anyone else, but never you. Once things here are settled, let's spar again."
After leaving the Colosseum, Lin Mo had told Kuina a great deal about everything that had happened between this world's Zoro and Kuina during their childhood.
In particular, she learned that Zoro had never beaten this world's Kuina before her death. Though it saddened her, Kuina still wanted to spar with this Zoro again.
As for what she wanted Zoro to agree to, it was simple.
Kuina hoped Zoro could spare some time to accompany her to Shimotsuki Village. She wanted to visit this world's Koshiro.
