One Piece anime has reached the same arc as the manga, and the straw hats have finally reached Egghead. However, their entry was not as easy as they had expected. As they reached a little bit closer, a mecha shark attacked them, but they were saved by Vegapunk Lilith, who wanted to loot them and take all the treasure they had.
However, she did not know the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, especially the King of Hell, Pirate Hunter Zoro. Zoro’s strength has significantly grown since his fight with King during the Wano arc. He has become much stronger than he already was, which was also proved from his bounty.
The altercation between Zoro and Vegapunk Lilith was one of the coldest moments for Roronoa Zoro and fans were so happy to see that Zoro is not only growing stronger by the day but he is also becoming more savage. This hyped up the fans who can’t wait to see what the Egghead arc has in store for Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Zoro’ Altercation With Vegapunk Lilith
In One Piece Episode 1091 when Vegapunk Lilith decided to steal the treasure from the Straw Hat Pirates, she introduced a bunch of robotic sea beasts and claimed that if they didn’t hand over their valuables, the sea beast weapons would destroy the ship, and eventually kill them. When she saw that most of the crew was scared of her threat, she felt that she could easily win against them.
However, Lilith got a call from Vegapunk Shaka telling her to halt and look at someone who was acting differently from the other crew members. Roronoa Zoro, the second-in-command of the crew, was monitoring the incident calmly, his palm resting on one of his blades. Shaka told Lilith that she was the one who needed to panic and informed her who she was facing.
Talking about Zoro’s strength and his bounty, Shaka informed Lilith that their swordsman was acting so composedly because he was well aware of the swordsman’s might and power and knew he could easily cut them all in half in a split second. Zoro gave Lilith and Shaka a frightening look, which became one of his coldest moments, and fans can’t keep calm about it.
Fans React to Zoro’s Coldest Moment in Egghead Arc
While Zoro has a lot of savage moments in the series, it usually involves him attacking something or someone. However, this moment became one of his best because his reputation and his glare did all the work, and he already earned the credit that he deserved as the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.
This cold moment from Zoro was shared by a YouTube channel called MarcoThePhoenix, and fans instantly went on to share their appreciation for the Swordsman. They commented how this might be one of his coldest moments.

“Zoro showing why he’s the vice captain when Luffy is not around”
@TheGekko135 commented:
“Zoro is essentially a long-range swordsman at this point in the story. And has been for some time. The second she pulled up to the side of their ship and exposed herself, she was in his range. Situation handled.”
@marvineusebe6166 commented:
“Ah yes my boy zoro single handedly being the best character in the show by just standing there, Menacingly!!!!”
@majalahkampong5595 commented:
“I dont know how Lilith would react when she know that Zoro once cut giant stone Pica into a half”
The moment was loved by the fans extremely and Zoro being one of the most loved characters. This moment just adds more impression to his character. Egghead arc is supposed to be the beginning of the finale saga, and in the first few episodes only, One Piece has shown why it is one of the best anime series of all time.
