Roronoa Zoro is undoubtedly one of the most well-known One Piece characters. Like Luffy, Zoro wants to be the best in his class, meaning he wants to become the best swordsman in the world, surpassing his idol and rival, Dracule Mihawk, who is considered the best swordsman in the world. People have been talking about Zoro for years, as he is one of the most popular One Piece characters. In this article, we will focus on Zoro's personality as we will reveal whether Zoro would ever kill Sanji and what the meaning of their pact is.

Although Zoro would never willingly kill one of his teammates, Zoro agreed to kill Sanji if he were ever to lose his mind due to his heritage and his father's twisted science. Sanji trusted Zoro the most and asked him to do so, which Zoro agreed to; Zoro knew that this version of Sanji would not be the friend they all loved and that the real Sanji would not want to live like that, so he agreed.

The rest of this article will focus on Zoro's character and his ability to kill one of his teammates, all in light of his secret pact with Vinsmoke Sanji. We'll discuss Zoro's personality and his relationship with Sanji, which is necessary to fully clarify the answer we've given you. This article may contain a smaller number of spoilers, so be careful when reading.

Zoro would never kill a teammate, at least not intentionally.

Although he often serves as a comedian, Zoro is naturally reserved. He also has a terrible sense of direction, allowing him to get lost even on straight paths or when someone is pointing the way. Zoro rests or trains when the crew is at sea. He and Sanji are fierce rivals who frequently argue (verbally and physically) in inappropriate settings. Yet, when they work together (rarely, which is the case), they make a fantastic combination.

With Kuina's passing, Zoro is determined to become the greatest swordsman in the entire world. Since then, Zoro has committed himself to growing and improving to get closer to his goal. Throughout his adventure, he faces enemies, and after each battle, he reflects and considers what he could do better to gain the upper hand. Zoro, like Luffy, has a clear goal in mind, but he also enjoys fighting other opponents and, whenever he can, ends up causing trouble or scandal.

Zoro initially makes it clear to Luffy that he is only traveling with him to fulfill his dream. However, he gradually began to think differently, even stating during the battle with Kuma that "Luffy must be the man who becomes the Pirate King," which could be considered a goal in itself. He has consistently shown himself to be the most devoted to Luffy throughout the series, even referring to him as the "Pirate King" after his defeat by Mihawk and during the fight with Kuma. To persuade Kuma not to kill Luffy and his crew, Zoro recently came dangerously close to abandoning him; this demonstrates his commitment and attachment to everyone.

Now that we've told you everything you need to know about Zoro's personality, we think you'll easily come to the same conclusion we did: that Roronoa Zoro would never kill his teammate. Roronoa Zoro may be a loner, but he's fiercely loyal to his friends and considers all of his teammates his friends. Sure, they may get on each other's nerves from time to time and argue from time to time, but they're very close, and there's a special bond between them that makes them so special.

In light of this, Roronoa Zoro would certainly do anything he could to protect them. Of course, we must point out that he can kill someone, but that someone will never be part of the crew. In fact, Zoro has a fiercely protective personality and has proven to be one of the most protective characters in the series.

The best example is when he was willing to die to protect his crewmates in a fight against the powerful Bartholomew Kuma. The only reason we can think of for Zoro to kill a crewmate is absolute necessity, but even then, he'd probably only do it after trying everything else. So, with that said, how does the pact with Sanji fit into our theory? Let's see.

Zoro agreed to kill Sanji, but only out of necessity

In Wano Country, Sanji's body began acting strangely, and it seemed like he was finally returning to his Vinsmoke roots. Now we know Sanji's story and how his mother sacrificed her own life to prevent Sanji from becoming another experiment of his father, and how this breakup led Sanji to run away from home to become a chef.

But in Wano Country, in light of his fight with the queen, his body began to feel strange, and Sanji feared he would become an emotionless monster like his siblings. This would mean he would no longer be an ally of the Straw Hats, and to avoid such an outcome, he approached Zoro.

Surprisingly, as the two continue to fight, Zoro turns out to be Sanji's most trusted crew member, so he asks Zoro for a favor: in case Sanji changes and becomes like his siblings, Zoro will kill him. Zoro agrees, and the two continue their fight. Given what we said above, this may seem odd, but it fits perfectly.

Necessity is the only reason Zoro would kill a crew member, and since Sanji losing his grip on reality would certainly be a state of necessity, Zoro murdering Sanji would be justified, and it wouldn't mean Zoro is actually willing to kill his crewmates. Everyone knows the real Sanji wouldn't want to live like that, so Zoro would be doing him a favor, and that's the essence of their secret and deadly pact.
