These Anime/manga swordsmen's pasts were marred by the loss of their closest friends (Zoro's old rival kuina and Polnareff's sister respectively), which has led to them traveling the world to better their own skills and honor the memories of their loved ones...

Which is something one would never be able to tell at first glance due to their eccentric personalities and tendency to fall into trouble at every turn. Regardless of whatever silly antics they may fall into, their overall competence increases tenfold when they finally engage in a serious fight, becoming two of the deadliest and fastest swordsmen their worlds have ever seen.
