"One Piece" Chapter 1001 would reportedly feature Roronoa Zoro showcasing his unmatched sword skills to Big Mom and Kaido as he launches new attacks.

"One Piece" Chapter 1001 is a gift to fans of Roronoa Zoro if the latest set of spoilers, courtesy of Twitter user Stairskun, is to go by. Based on the spoilers, Zoro launches his Cognac attack against Big Mom when the Yonko tries to sneak up on Luffy. The new attack lets out a ranged slash that prevents the emperor from hitting the Straw Hats captain.

According to the spoilers of the new chapter, the attack is the same as the one Mihawk used against Whitebeard during the Marineford War. It appears that Big Mom knows the background of the Supernovas. She is aware that Zoro is a pirate hunter and has improved his swordsmanship under the tutelage of the Greatest Swordsman in the World, Dracule Mihawk.

The spoilers further reveal that sometime during the Supernovas vs. Yonkos fight, Zoro cuts Kaido. Apparently, the Straw Hats swordsman hurls his Tower Climb and return attack on the Beast Pirates' captain. Kaido reportedly responds to the attack by launching his signature Raimie Hakke or Thunder Bagua which, despite Zoro's attempt to block, sends him flying to the rubble.

In the previous "One Piece" chapters, Hyori, Kozuki Oden's daughter, gave her father's Enma to Zoro. The pirate hunter trained so hard to master the legendary sword. He was elated when he learned that the same sword, along with the Ame no Habakiri, were the only blades to ever injure the Strongest Creature in the World.

In addition to his training under Mihawk, the Enma could be a vital factor in Zoro's improved swordsmanship prowess. If "One Piece" Chapter 1001 spoilers are accurate, this would be the pirate hunter's greatest fight beside Ryuma and after the two-year time skip. It's about time Roronoa Zoro gets the spotlight.

"One Piece" Chapter 1001 is reportedly titled "The Beginning." The upcoming manga installment is set to release on Jan. 17, following Jump's week-long hiatus.
