Warning! Spoilers for One Piece chapter 1038 ahead!
The Straw Hat Pirates have faced many hardships during their journey in One Piece, but not even in their fiercest battles has one of them gotten so close to death as Zoro does in the latest chapter of the hit manga series.

With such powerful enemies, it is only natural that Luffy and his friends have to put their lives on the line if they hope to succeed, but one of the strongest members of the Straw Hat crew might have to pay the consequences.
