[edit] Short Summary

Zoro vs Mihawk : Zoro is no match.

[edit] Long Summary

Zoro challenges Mihawk to a sword fight. However Mihawk humiliates him by answering his request with a pocket knife. Zoro is furious and attacks, but is stopped with ease. Zoro then put all his strength and might in the fight remembering his promise to Kuina, but his attacks are all stopped until Mihawk finally pierce his chest.

When asked why he does not retreat to escape from the knife wound, Zoro answers that he can not go back, and that he rather would die than loose. Amazed by Zoro strong will, Mihawk asks him his name and, as an honor, draws the big black sword he carries on his back for the final dual.

Zoro prepares his ultimate attack, the sanzen sekai, but can do nothing. 2 of his swords are broken by Mihawk. Admitting his loss, Zoro turns round, face Mihawk his arms cross shaped, to receive the final blow. Mihawk is pleased with that brave gesture and slashes Zoro chest.
