Roronoa Zoro[]
N: Zoro was born on an island in the East Blue and found a dojo. Here he kicked everyone's ass until bumping into an obstacle: Kuina the Sensei's daughter
P: However, Kuina died after an....accident and Zoro inherited the sword of Kuina: the Wado ichimonji. Zoro set out to do the only reasonable thing, set out and hunt down pirates for their bounties.
G: Sometime along the way Zoro was captured and agreed to sit out for 30 days by Axe Hand Morgan. Well...up until his rescue by a plucky pirate named Monkey D Luffy.
N: Roronoa Zoro strived to be the greatest swordsmen, his goal to defeat Dracule Mihawk. Which he trains intensely to do so. But he is loyal, and strives to help Luffy become King of the Pirates.
P: Zoro always fights alongsides Luffy, and usually fights the second in command. Cabaji, Hacchan, Daz Bones all fell under Zoro. Even when faced with defeat by Mihawk, Zoro vowed to never give up and that he would always fight for the Strawhat crew
G: During the timeskip, Zoro trained with Mihawk and learned armament haki and became even stronger. After the timeskip, Zoro came back stronger then ever.
N: Zoro is the rock of the crew, while he may not be the most active member of the crew he is the stable one, the one who protects the others and often takes blows or sacrifices himself for the sake of his Nakama
P: Zoro's rivalry with Sanji began on Little Garden where they competed to hunt the bigger dinosaur. They became rivals since and fight a lot, Sanji thinks Zoro is a simple brute while Zoro thinks Sanji is an arrogant pervy show off. But both harbour deep respect and admiration behind all that.
G: Zoro has 3 swords: the Wado Ichimonji Kuina's sword, Sandai Kitetsu the cursed blade, and finally Enma the sword beonging to Oden one of the greatest blades on Earth. Zoro is skilled with Santoryu or three sword style where he wields 3 blades one in each hand and one in his mouth
N: That sounds unsanitary and unrealistic, but he has numerous powerful attacks such as the Onigiri.

The Fight[]
Zoro and Sanji are on a tropical beach, with the palm trees swaying. Zoro is meditating or sleeping, or just resting in a crouched position. Sanji is resting in a beach chair reading the book by Jiraya and drinking a coconut. Suddenly a coconut falls and hits the chef in the head. He rises up and swings his foot into Zoro hitting him in the shoulder.
"What was that for marimo," Sanji said rubbing his head with a bump before getting into combat position.
"What did I do? You kicked me dartboard brow," Zoro said, "Time to settle this once and for all." Zoro draws his three swords before charging Sanji Vinsmoke.
FIGHT
Sanji goes on his hands and starts swinging his legs around like a twister like in We Are the opening. Zoro crossed his swords to make an X shape protecting him from the kicking chefs
