"Wow, what a truly remarkable battle... The defeat of Ryuma's corpse by Zoro is a remarkable feat that showcases his prowess in combat."
"I must admit, while I had faith in Zoro's victory, I did not anticipate the sheer ferocity and tenacity he displayed in battle. He truly embodied the spirit of a dragon, reminding us of the legendary battle that Ryuma was famous for."
"I am curious to see the reaction of the samurais in Wano to this outcome... I wonder what they will have to say about it." The samurai Gorosei pondered, as he absentmindedly rubbed his glasses.
For the Five Elders, this chapter was a source of great joy. They reveled in the sight of the emblem of the disobedient country being disregarded and defeated once again. After all, this was not the first time that the Sword God had fallen. He lost in the past at the hands of the world government.
...
In a cold and lonely hall, Imu sat on her throne, flipping through the pages of the most mysterious book in history. With a smirk, she muttered, "Hehe... The successor has defeated his ancestor's corpse? How intriguing."
Imu continued to read the manga until she reached the scene where Ryuma passed on his sword to Zoro. "And now, the inheritance of will and weapon as well... It's such a ridiculous plot armor... I wonder, when he reaches Wano, will the sword be taken from him, and be dishonored? Fufu~"

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
After a short but destructive battle against Ryuma, Zoro jumps to the top of the building, ready to unleash his final attack: "Ittouryuu... Hiryuu... Kaen!!!"
At this moment, Zoro resembles a dragon in legend. He's ready to crush the real dragon's corpse, but he can't do the same thing when he's alive.
Sensing the danger, Ryuma also jumps to counter the attack: "Hanauta... Sanchou... Yahazugi..."
Ryuma realized that he was the one who lost the last confrontation: "Uagh!!!" (The wound is aflame?)
(I lost.)
Zoro focuses his eyes on the sword in Ryuma's hand: "...The meitou once carried by a legendary samurai..."
As Zoro said that, Ryuma replied: "Shusui!! With you as its master, this sword, too, should be satisfied."
Franky wondered, "What was he saying just now? That samurai... Exactly... What's going on?"
Brook responded to his question, "Basically...!! It would appear that it's over...!! This fight... I have never seen anything like it. That samurai... When he fought me... He was barely even trying...!!"
Suddenly, Ryuma dropped his sword towards Zoro: "This was a great duel... I have allowed this samurai's body to suffer defeat... I am ashamed...!!"
After catching the sword, Zoro replied: "As long as you are ashamed, that's enough... You are a swordsman in mind and body... I would have liked to meet you when you were still alive."
These were the last words Ryuma heard before Brook left his burning body.
The black shadow disappeared and Brook returned to its former owner: "Ah... AHH!! It... It...!! IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK~!!!" "MY SHADOW... IT'S BACK~~~!!!"
Zoro looked at the scattered ashes of Ryuma before murmuring with a smile: "I'll take your sword... but let's pretend this duel never happened. Samurai of the country of Wano...!!!"

Wano Country, Flower Capital:
The hawkeye of Mihawk was depicted seriously in the manga pages before he handed over his hat to Issho.
"Exactly as you expected, Zoro obtained Shusui flawlessly,"
"Hohoho~" A soft smile appeared on Issho's face after hearing this.
And he continued, "The battle was truly an eye-opener. It seems the level of power in the story is starting to rise to new heights."
Issho looked around and realized that the residents of Wano, including the samurais, were murmuring with their hands over their mouths, as if they were disbelieving, disillusioned, happy, and worried at the same time.
Their emotions were complex, to say the least.
Even the Shogun himself had this type of expression that he hid behind his mask.
"Shogun-san… What is your opinion?"
Issho asked Kozuki Sukiyaki who was still by their side.
"...Sigh~"
Sukiyaki sighed before continuing, "The battle between Ryuma-dono and Zoro-dono was highly impressive. As samurai, we respect the laws of the sword before respecting the person carrying it… even if that person is the national protector, Shimotsuki Ryuma himself."
In this battle, Ryuma lost as a corpse, but he won by reviving his reputation as a hero.
Sukiyaki removed his mask and wiped away his tears in a stunning motion.
Issho and Mihawk were not shocked, because at that moment, everyone inside and outside the art store, without exception, was crying!
Any random person who dropped their eyes on, had red eyes and wiped away their tears, and snot continuously. Even there were some who wept loudly.
This, in short, showed the size of the love that the people of Wano had for a man who had died many years ago, but whose memory had never died.
Issho smiled when he remembered a stirring sentence.
"When does a man truly die?"
"A man dies when people forget him," Mihawk replied with a rare smile on his face.
Hearing this, Sukiyaki and a few members of the Shogun's protection force and nearby capital residents were surprised.
Soon, these words echoed throughout the capital of flower and all corners of Wano country later on.
As long as they do not forget their pride and their sword god, he will never die!
...
Impel Down:
"Magellan, cease your vexing behavior. The manga is at its most thrilling juncture!"
Shiryu was incensed with Magellan, who was demanding that he fulfill his duties during his downtime.
He was absorbed in the scuffle between Zoro and Ryuma, which culminated in Zoro's triumph, and his acquisition of Meitou's sword, as well as Brook reclaiming his shadow.
However, Magellan's intrusion had irked him.
"You can complete your manga reading later! The sixth floor's forbidden frozen prison is empty! There's no one encased in the ice!" Magellan exclaimed.
"What? Was anyone actually imprisoned there?" Shiryu was taken aback.
"After I assumed the leadership of Impel Down, I obtained information about the prisoners... Yes, the individual who was confined there was none other than the infamous Brynndi World!" Magellan exclaimed again.
