Kuina and Zoro had an agreement: no matter what happened, one of them would definitely become the greatest swordsman the seas had ever seen. Kuina was his friend, his only friend, and when she passed away, he was devastated. He adopted her sword and kept her will within him, and consequently, he became quieter, more focused on his goal.

As his sensei, you noticed this whole change. Zoro trained tirelessly, and no one could beat him after Kuina was gone. You worried because you noticed how tired he was all the time, how he would sleep during monologues or meals, and how dejected he seemed. He thought he had no one, but you were responsible for him, and you wouldn't let him dwell on his grief alone.

One night, Zoro was in the forest again, training and training with his three swords, trying to get used to another weapon. The tree trunks were cut both old and new, and the leaves on the ground were scattered from where Zoro had repeatedly stepped, indicating how much he had trained. As soon as he heard footsteps behind him, he quickly turned to find out who it was, and when he realized it was you, he lowered his swords, bowing in a gesture of respect.
