Zoro joins the dojo and swears that he will beat Kuina one day. Zoro charges towards Kuina and gets smacked between the eye and ends up losing. Zoro explains that this is the first time he's ever held shinai. This causes visible surprise in the master and his daughter, who ask if he has been trained in kendo before. Zoro gets up and strike a great "two sword/shinai technique" pose. The second vertical strike is more powerful and knocks Zoro back to the ground, causing him to drop all of the weapons. Zoro is able to block the first overhand strike with his shinai collection. Even before the match begins he has dropped 2/3 of the ones in his mouth. Zoro grabs a huge amount of shinai (several in each hand, and three in his mouth) to prepare. When Zoro challenges Koushirou, the owner, he accepts but offers his daughter Kuina as his opponent. Zoro was a Doujouyaburi, collecting dojo signboards. This episode flashes back to Zoro's childhood. Nami finds a place on the map where they can go practice cannon shooting. While out at sea, Luffy finds a box of cannonballs in the Going Merry storeroom and brings it onto the deck. While Usopp and Luffy fool around with the ship's cannon one day, Zoro dreams about his childhood and the promise he made to Kuina before her untimely death.
