One Piece Chapter 1075 gives us a chance to see one of the alliances we never expected soon. As the Seraphim prepare to attack CP0 and the various punks, it seems someone has targeted Egghead’s masters and their guests, and from Shaka’s words, it seems their ultimate goal is to kill everything. the world on the island.
The power of these self-made war machines is indomitable, and Lilith herself explains that they are unbeatable. Nevertheless, fighting for their own survival is the only thing the punks will be able to do, counting on the help of the Mugiwaras as well.
Speaking of help, in the chapter we also see how Zoro came face to face with S-Bear and S-Hawk, who were about to attack Lucci and Kaku while they were tied up and unconscious. This scene surprised the fans enough: Zoro, a swordsman with a rigid soul and impossible to deceive, consciously made the decision to save the two agents, yet enemies.
Zoro’s development
When the Seraphim attacked the control room, Zoro told Luffy to help him get Lucci and Kaku out of there; this request was decidedly unexpected by some fans, who recall how such an exhortation would be more like something Luffy would come up with, and Zoro would reluctantly do.
However, what we see in One Piece Chapter 1075 is actually the result of Luffy’s influence over Zoro, which happened after a long time with the crew. Luffy has always shown a strong sense of justice and a strong bond with his friends, which had a significant impact on the swordsman.
When in Chapter 176, released 22 years ago, Luffy asked Zoro to rescue Smoker, the Vice Admiral of the Navy who encountered the Mugiwaras many times during their adventure, Zoro understood the importance of this gesture and decided to act accordingly.
The fact that Luffy asked Zoro to save Smoker showed the respect Luffy has for anyone who has proven to be an ally, regardless of their affiliation. Now Zoro has decided to do the same, proving that justice and loyalty aren’t necessarily tied to which faction you belong to.
Moreover, this request demonstrated the importance of empathy and compassion, qualities that belong to even the greatest Conquerors. Even though Smoker was a Navy officer, Luffy and Zoro realized that saving someone’s life is always the right thing to do, regardless of deployment.
Zoro’s character development has now become more evident than ever: he went from saving an enemy simply because he was “following the captain’s order” to moving around independently, urging Luffy to do the same. Time spent with Luffy has clearly shaped his character, also opening him up to choices that probably shouldn’t be made by a ruthless swordsman.
Luffy’s attitude throughout the series has led him to always seek the good of others and not only look at his own interests, and now it has also become the element that made Zoro want to help Lucci. and Kaku despite everything.
