Roronoa Zoro
Wiz: As a child, Roronoa Zoro dreamed of becoming the greatest swordsman in the world.

Boomstick: But he didn't just enroll at a dojo, he showed up, challenged everyone, and then just sort of stuck around.

Wiz: Zoro's dojo training sharpened his natural talent with a sword, but there was one person he could never quite manage to beat, his sensei's daughter, Kuina. They dueled A LOT and Kuina won every single matchup, all 2,001 of them.

Boomstick: Damn, you'd think he would've gotten at least one in!

Wiz: Despite the constant defeats, Kuina and Zoro were very close friends. Together, they promised that some day, one of them would become the world's best swordsman.

Boomstick: Aaaand then she fell down some stairs and died, which just seems like an unacceptable way for a master swordsman to bite the dust.

Wiz: Does thin out the competition for world's best swordsman, though.

Boomstick: True, I mean, that's how I became the world's best shotgun wood carver!

Wiz: After Kuina's death, Zoro inherited her sword and used it to hone his skills even further, eventually leaving the dojo in search of the current titleholder of "World's Greatest Swordsman", Dracule Mihawk.

'''Boomstick: But, he immediately got himself lost. With nothing better to do, he became a bounty hunter and wandered around the ocean until he ran into a weird, stretchy, pirate kid.'''

Wiz: You mean Monkey D. Luffy, who brought Zoro onto his crew of Straw Hat Pirates.

'''Boomstick: Actually worked out pretty well, since Luffy was already looking to hire him anyway. Turns out, Zoro has quite a reputation.'''

Wiz: At this point, he was already a master swordsman, and after finding and training under Mihawk, his swordsmanship became legendary.

Boomstick: He created his own fighting style, Santoryu, also called "Three Sword Style", because he uses THREE swords, one in each hand, and one in his friggin mouth!

Wiz: That doesn't seem very safe...

'''Boomstick: Ah, shut up, Wiz, badasses don't care about safety! Now watch as I wield three handguns, just gonna put one in my mouth here...(muffled with a gun in his mouth)'''

(We hear a gunshot).

Wiz: Ah! No-

(We hear another gunshot).

Boomstick: (muffled)

Wiz: Boomstick, stop-

(We hear yet another gunshot).

Wiz: shooting-

PLEASE STAND BY
