Is Zoro related to Ryuuma?

Ryuuma, is said to be the greatest swordsman that ever lived. He was a samurai that lived and protected Wano. Zoro, and Ryuuma, the two swordsmen, met in thriller bark, where they both fought each other, this was because Ryuuma, died a long time ago, but Gecko Moria was controlling his body. The two swordsmen faced each other in a battle, where Zoro came out on top, this is mainly because Ryuuma only had a fraction of his past strength when he was alive. At the end of the battle, Zoro won the sword Shusui over from Ryumma.

In the Wano arc, it was revealed by Oda, that Zoro was related to the Shimotsuki Family. This sort of explains Zoro’s insane strength and his affinity to swords.

The secret behind Zoro’s Left eye?

Ever since Zoro joined the Straw hats, his goal was clear. He wanted to be the world’s greatest swordsman. Zoro, has only lost one fight, which is to Dracule Mihawk, the strongest swordsman currently. After the event of Sabaody, and Marineford, Zoro sucked his pride up, and asked Mihawk to train him. During the time skip Mihawk Trained Zoro, in Observation Haki, armament Haki, and other sword techniques.

When we see Zoro, after the timeskip we see, a scar on his left eye that is now permanently closed. It was never really explained how this happened in the manga or the anime, and there is no correct answer about its cause.

Some fans believe that Zoro, is hiding a special power within his eye or that he keeps it closed to use only one eye to limit himself. However, in recent times, with Zoro’s fight against Kaido, he hasn’t used his left eye despite being disadvantaged. This proves that Zoro’s left eye being closed is nothing special. It is probably the result of an injury during training or a fight. However, this is still not confirmed, as he considered himself to be superior to those who used both eyes to see in the straw hats fight against the Fishman pirates.

Is Sanji a Cyborg?

The curly cook, who initially seemed like a master of observation Haki, has been given a new powerup in the One Piece manga. Sanji Kun, was revealed to be a part of the Vinsmoke family, and as such, he was provided with a raid suit. Almost all of Sanji’s siblings are modified humans. As a result, they have lost their emotions in return for their extraordinary ability to fight and win a battle with the Germa 66 armies.

Sanji was given the same drug as his siblings, but it did not take effect until he used the raid suit on Onigashima. After awakening his new genetic enhancements, Sanji has become much stronger, and is now a genetically modified pirate. Despite Sanji gaining new abilities, he has still managed to retain his human emotions. In the fight against Queen, in the battle of Onigashima, he asks Zoro to kill him, if he loses himself.

To answer the question, Sanji, isn’t exactly a cyborg. However, he is probably the only genetically modified pirate in the One Piece anime and manga.
