Zoro remembers his past
In One Piece episode 1060, the intense battle between Zoro and King rages on, but Zoro's thoughts begin to drift towards his past. He starts to wonder how a sword from Wano, such as Enma, ended up in the East Blue.
He remembers his chance encounter with a Wano samurai named Shimotsuki Kozaburo who offered him a couple of blunt swords for training. The old man said that every sword has its own personality and unique traits.
He explained that a true swordsman must master the art of taming and bending these wild personalities to their will. He also hinted that he was the creator of Enma.
Zoro learns how to properly control Enma
In One Piece episode 1060, Zoro recalls a conversation with Shimotsuki Kozaburo in which he was told that swords wait patiently for a worthy wielder. Zoro realizes that Enma had been testing him and that he has failed to meet the cursed blade's expectations.
Zoro also realizes that Oden was a worthy wielder of the blade, as he could handle the amount of Haki that Enma drained from him without any issue.
At this point, several Animal Kingdom Pirates appear and decide to fight Zoro. The green-haired swordsman easily defeats them in a matter of seconds using Conqueror's Haki.
