ZOROBIN ENIES LOBBY ARC 3 - ZORO VS KAKU
At Enies Lobby Zoro faces Kaku, one of the strongest of CP9, second only to Rob Lucci: here the swordsman's fighting spirit is more bestial than ever, precisely in these circumstances in which Robin's life is at stake. He is ready to kill the enemy in order to have the key: at the end, among all the keys recovered by Luffy's group, it will be Zoro's key that will free Robin from her agalmatolite handcuffs. It should be noted that Zoro tells Kaku that, in the fight before Water Seven, his strength did not match that of now. And yet, we have not seen Zoro do any particular training before arriving at Enies Lobby: in essence, the Zoro that Kaku faces is the same as the Water Seven. So what's the difference? The difference is that Zoro is more decisive and determined here, once he understands Robin's motivations. Indeed, Kaku himself says that Zoro's fighting spirit here is impressive, similar to that of a wild beast: and one can't help but think that Zoro is like this because of Robin.
Zoro calls the Usopp-sword "Hana Arashi": a term that contains the word "hana" (flower), which is Robin's symbol and recalls her devil fruit, the Flower Flower or Hana Hana No Mi, in the original.
"I must have the key immediately, otherwise I'll be a loser!": quite a romantic phrase, isn't it? Indeed, Zoro defines himself as "loser" in case of failure means that he will lose someone important, precisely Robin. You've never seen a Zoro so fierce.
Zoro's definitive fighting technique to beat Kaku and obtain the key that will free Robin is impressive: it is a technique he has never used before and it is similar to Robin's, in which he multiplies his arms and body, in a manner similar to Robin's Hana Hana No Mi/Flower Flower. Besides, Zoro's technique is called "Asura", which is the name of a demon: another characteristic that unites Robin (nicknamed "the demonic child") and Zoro (considered a demon by people). Not to mention that its resemblance to the technique of Robin is honorific and similar to that of Luffy who uses the Red Hawk in memory of his brother Ace. A truly direct Zorobin.
Zoro is in a great hurry to free Robin: this can be clearly seen from the dialogues. He doesn't want to waste time with various observations: we have the key, the way to go to Robin is open, you mustn't waste a moment of time. Of all of them, Zoro is the most determined.
Sanji: The roof of the tower slipped again...I wonder if it will hold! Zoro: Who cares? Now, with this key we have them all! Let's hurry and go where Robin is!
