#(definitely not me wanting to see luffy's reaction on that. nope not me thinking it'd make it more personal for luffy to defeat the gorosei

one piece ch. 1117 spoilers

(i still can't stop thinking about zoro vs venus gorosei clash)

i like that zoro was there to block the attack on sunny, because in chapter 1115 we saw how with one slash nusjuro cut down the lab of the egghead tower

(mentioned again in chapter 1116)

and now in 1117, nusjuro was preparing to do the same with the sunny and strawhats.

which zoro blocked with a rashomon attack (along with possibly his conqueror's haki)

(i really love that detail that both zoro and nusjuro are surprised/taken aback when recognizing the kitetsu sword)

then being thrown away from the impact of the clash, with jimbei catching zoro and zoro yelling at nami and the strawhats on the sunny to launch the ship, it's supposed to go to the sea level..

.. where sanji, bonney and the elbaf giants are fighting navy,

and luffy is running towards the elbaf ship there too, waiting for the sunny to jump from above to make their exit.

i've seen ppl think that zoro might fight nusjuro again, like a longer fight to win against him, but tbh (at least in my opinion) that probably won't happen. they might clash again, with zoro trying to hold him back, but he wouldn't plan to win or defeat him, he knows nusjuro is too powerful, it would be more about buying time for sunny to leave.

i just hope that, if the sunny successfully launches, that both zoro and jimbei would be able to jump after it. it depens on if jimbei would stay beside zoro, or if zoro tells him to join the strawhats to stear the sunny (as jimbei is their helmsman) to the sea..

i kinda of had a thought / theory, that nusjuro might try to separate them? if he wouldn't stop the ship from leaving, maybe he would try to take at least one or two of the strawhats down? especially if he fought against zoro, whom he saw has the kitetsu sword (so some sort of connection to his own sword), who has conqueror's haki, and is a part of the strawhats which makes him someone the gorosei want to discard, maybe he would not let zoro leave so easily..

(one worry for next chapter ;-;)
