The famous manga and anime series One Piece, made by Eiichiro Oda, has built a global fanbase with its story, characters, and quests. Among the Straw Hat Pirates crew, Roronoa Zoro stands tall as a fan favorite because of his incredible swordsmanship, steadfast manner, and unbreakable loyalty.
Over time, many moments from Zoro's journey have become iconic among fans. However, few are as memorable as his clash with the cursed blade, Sandai Kitetsu, in Loguetown. In this pivotal scene, Zoro tests his fate against the blade's curse by tossing the sword skyward and stretching his arm out, daring destiny to decide if the sword would strike him.

The artist @lv5plant crafted the fanart in question. It recreates the scene from the Loguetown arc, where Zoro tests his luck against the Sandai Kitetsu's curse. In the anime and manga, Zoro stumbled upon a barrel of cheap katana while exploring a sword shop in Loguetown. Among them, he discovered the legendary Sandai Kitetsu—a blade with a fearsome reputation.
Captivated by the sword's aura, Zoro puts his faith in his luck. He tosses the Sandai Kitetsu into the air and sticks his hand out, daring the cursed sword to strike him.
