One Piece has become in recent years one of the most important series in the history of the industry. With more than 25 years behind him, Eiichiro Oda has managed to create an almost perfect work that has caused a sensation around the world, especially thanks to the development of many of its characters.
However, one of these characters was to have a very different fate during the beginnings of One Piece: Roronoa Zoro. It turns out that in one of the first volumes that Oda released of his magnum opus, this powerful swordsman I was going to be part of Buggy's crewone of the most classic and recognizable villains in the entire work and whom Luffy has had to face more than once.
Zoro was to team up with Mohji and Cabaji, who were originally intended to be brothers, to take on Luffy in Orange Town. In addition, his design, although similar, was to be slightly different from the one we saw in the final version, with a much more mischievous appearance similar to that of his brothers.
However, Oda finally decided to change sidesmaking him the first official member of the Straw Hat Pirates in the series and one of the most beloved characters by the community. Of course, this will be one of the decisions that fans will forever thank its author for, since we could not conceive a crew without this unforgettable swordsman as one of the most serene minds of the Thousand Sunny.
