Why Zoro can't go full out on women I still don't understand as he can defeat women other than Tashigi like Monday when he crushed her face. Zoro didn't kill her but he doesn't kill anyone anyways (maybe he has killed off screen but major enemies are left alive) so he could have defeated Monet too. He probably can't kill in front of tashigi, that is probably what is it he trying to hold up a certain character in front of tashigi. | ||

Zoro didn't kill her but he doesn't kill anyone anyways (maybe he has killed off screen but major enemies are left alive) so he could have defeated Monet too. I think when Sanji said Zoro had a soft side he was referring to this. Zoro probably could tell/thought Monet was being forced to do this, and so decided he didn't really want to hurt her. Alternatively he might have decided that she wasn't really a fighter, and so didn't treat her like one. He also did say he didn't have to hurt her at all, just prevent her from chasing the rest of them. Then she hurt Tashigi, and he couldn't really wait around any longer, since Tashigi probably would have been killed. | ||

I know in this case its not really the same thing, but still, I like the human sides of the characters, like we saw in this chapter. | ||

The straw hats are supposed to be the good guys after all, it would be a bit stupid if they went around killing everybody. They spare most if not all opponents, right? I feel like this just makes the characters more human. At first, I thought it was kind of lame that opponents always got to survive, but now I am kind of glad they get to. (and I also like the way oda gives them a small 'screentime' a few books later). I know in this case its not really the same thing, but still, I like the human sides of the characters, like we saw in this chapter. Pretty stupid if the "weak side" happen to coincide with someone else's. If it turns out two of the 3 strong members can't fight women. Either the enemy HAVE to be matched up with multiple other members or be weak. Besides Big mam there aren't any other strong female members would be end-game caliber (Jewelry Bonney's out of the picture right?) so luffy won't fight them either. | ||

He obviously didn't really want to fight Monet and he didn't want to fight the (Hyouzou) Octopus guy from the New Fishman pirates either. IMO it's not a gender related thing. He gets amped up when he can fight someone on his level or stronger. But he hates fighting people weaker. Plus Tashigi reminds him of his best friend so that probably plays a role too. | ||

Also don't forget Baby 5 and others from Do Flamingo's organization (Baby5 and Buffalo are on their way to PH as well btw) Also we have yet to really see the officer members of Kaido's Crew and i doubt Tamago and Peekems are the only 2 members we will see from Big Mam. As said before i think it more of a weak vs strong thing as oppose to the man vs woman thing fro Zoro. Also maybe Zoro wanted to give Tashigi credit for winning because he likes her/wants her to get stronger and fight later? | ||

Zoro seems to have only killed in reputation, rumors and stories. Every major male opponent of Zoro has lived and the nobodies just got random cuts. Edit: He killed a dog, other animals and banished a zombie. I recall that he killed the previous Mr. 7 of Baroque Works, but that wasn't on screen. Besides that I can't think of anyone else, apart from the dragon which I guess counts as an animal. | ||

As for why Zoro held back I like the weakling theory over the women theory given it matches with octopus swordsmen. Zoro might get a chance to show he isn't weak on women, just Tashigi, with Don Flamingo's goon that is being sent. | ||

Mangastream seems to think the characters swear for example Zoro called Monet a bitch and irc previous MS translations thought that too. It did make one thing clear when Tashigi said "Sol" it should have been "Soru" so Tashigi knows the CP9 movement technique.

The people at mangastream swear to adult up children's manga, it's usually a small creative note, it's very similar to what groups do for children's anime cut out cheezy talking trash and use obscenities instead. | ||

The swearing is done to localize terms that otherwise have no real English translation due to the connotations they carry in Japanese. It's a bit crude, but it can be considered a more "accurate" translation than a literal translation of "you," or some other variant. I don't care either way, but it's not a result of creativity to "adult up" the manga. At least, this is the case for anime translations. Since I don't actually know what words are being used in the raw, I guess I could be wrong. | ||

She'll probably be fine by the time the arc gets closer to an end. | ||
