Zoro and Bartholomew Kuma faced off on the Thriller Bark arc, but their fight was never resolved. Moria gave Kuma the mission to vanquish the Straw Hat Pirates and gather their shadows. Although he swiftly defeated Zoro, he never dealt the final blow. Zoro survived the fight and since then he became the most formidable and badass character in One Piece.
Whatever the cause, Zoro and Kuma’s battle went unresolved until the most recent chapter, 1097, of the manga was published. It was one of the most hyped battles the Straw Hat pirates underwent and fans will continue to debate the details for years to come. One Piece is currently regarded by many as the greatest anime of all time because of its exceptional storyline, complex characters, and world-building.

One Piece Finally Explains Zoro and Kuma’s Incomplete Fight
According to a WorstGenHQ on X, Eiichiro Oda finally clarified the unfinished battle between Zoro and Kuma on Thriller Bark in the most current chapter, 1097, of One Piece. It turns out that Kuma was genuinely attempting to assist Zoro and the Straw Hat Pirates while surreptitiously working against Moria. By absorbing Luffy’s pain and injuries, he was trying to protect Luffy and his group.
The moment Zoro says “Nothing happened” is one of the most badass moments in the anime. This particular moment demonstrates Zoro’s commitment to Luffy and his readiness to give up everything for his goal. Zoro relieved Luffy of his pain and exhaustion following Kuma’s Ursus Shock attack. Zoro was aware that Luffy would suffer if he chose not to absorb his injuries.
So, Kuma let Zoro live on Thriller Bark as a test. He wanted to see if Zoro was truly worthy of becoming the World’s Strongest Swordsman. He also wanted to see if Zoro had the strength and resolve to protect his friends and crewmates, even at the cost of his own life, and he was not disappointed with Zoro’s performance.
Kuma’s past and his actions in the Thriller Bark arc show that he is a complex and tragic figure. He is a man who had to give up his freedom and pleasure to keep the people he cared about safe. He is also a man who still believes in freedom and justice, even though he has been forced to do terrible things in the name of the World Government.
Zoro Is One of the Strongest One Piece Characters
Zoro is one of the strongest characters in the One Piece universe. He is one of Luffy’s most reliable crew members and the first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is always honing his skills and training in order to fulfill his dream of becoming the strongest swordsman in the world. He is a proficient swordsman with amazing proficiency at wielding three swords at once.

He is also skilled in Haki, a potent energy that can be used to block opponent attacks and strengthen physical attacks. Throughout the One Piece series, Zoro has vanquished a number of formidable foes, like as Mr. 1, Kaku, Pica, and many others. Additionally, he has proved his ability to compete with some of the series’ most formidable characters, like Admiral Fujitora and Dracule Mihawk.
While Zoro is not the strongest character in One Piece, he is definitely one of the most formidable. He will undoubtedly be crucial to the outcome of the war against the World Government. In the Wano Country arc, he also vanquished King, Kaido’s right-hand man and almost sealed the victory for the Straw Hat Pirates.
