Roronoa Zolo is a widely know character in the anime and manga One Piece by Eichiro Oda. Together with their Captain Luffy, Nami, Ussop, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin, they compose the Strawhat Pirates. He is known as the Pirate Hunter due to his former job as a bounty hunter. To be the greatest swordsman in the world, Zolo is mastering the “santoryu” or the three-sword style. He holds a sword in each of his hands and another one in his mouth.

The Yubashiri and the Sandai Kitetsu are the two samurai swords held by Zolo in each hand. The Sandai Kitetsu was found by Zolo placed in a barrel of cheap katanas. The shop owner won’t allow Zolo to buy the sword because it is said to bring curse to the wielder but Zolo insisted. He tested his luck by throwing it into the air and holding his arm willing to be cut, but luckily the blade circled around his arm. Yubashiri is given to him for free by the same sword shop owner in Loguetown because he was fascinated by his skill and luck in testing the curse of Sandai Kitetsu.

The sword which is held by Zolo in his mouth, the Wado Ichimonji, is the most important sword of Zolo because it is given to him by his childhood friend and rival who passed away.

Many anime swords are so fantasy-like which makes them hard to use in real life but the three swords of Roronoa Zolo are real katanas, which can be created today just like the Yubashiri First Sword of Zolo-Replica.
