Chapter 467 is titled "Pirate Zoro vs Samurai Ryuma." The cover story continues Enel's Great Space Mission, Vol. 32, with the caption "Let's Attack the Town for Now." Enel stands in the underground moon city with his staff spread wide, surrounded by buildings and drifting darkness, looking ready to move from discovery into conquest.

The roof battle has already torn open the building. Ryuma lands in the smoke and calmly says, "I've provided some ventilation." Franky looks at the destruction and wonders, "For the thrust to go that far... just how much physical strength does it take...!?" Ryuma laughs, "Yohoho, 'a draw,' it seems." Zoro stands opposite him with his swords ready, and Brook watches from below. Then the force of the exchange catches up to the room: debris explodes outward with a heavy crash, and Perona, still down elsewhere, jerks in surprise with "Eeh!?" The duel is turning the mansion itself into part of the battlefield.

Ryuma notes the near miss with a composed "Yoho, I was almost cut." Franky is stunned: "What!? When did the Harameki guy counterattack?" Brook realizes the timing too: "Almost at the same time...!! That person's slice can also fly...!!" He explains the danger as he watches Zoro and Ryuma face each other again. The samurai zombie now carries Brook's shadow, but when Ryuma was alive he was most likely a samurai with an overpowering sword. Brook concludes that those two are most likely equal as swordsmen and have the same kind of physical strength; if their strength is the same, then their destructive power is similar. "This match... won't last for too long."

Ryuma opens with Brook's fencing rhythm, calling "Prelude Au Fer" as the blades clash with a sharp burst. Zoro answers by shifting his grips and naming "Nigiri," the page noting it as Double Slash. Ryuma reads the stance immediately: "The weapon bending technique!?" Zoro follows with "Hirameki" as a flash, then drives in with "Magma," the page marking it as Demon Bear. The two attacks collide at close range and the shock of the exchange ripples through the roof. It is no longer a cautious test; both swordsmen are pouring enough force into each move that every named technique feels like a structural threat to the building around them.

04
The fight crashes through the room again. Franky and Brook shout "Woah!!!" as Ryuma and Zoro carve through stone with another exchange. Ryuma swings into "Gavotte Bond Avant!!!" and the strike sweeps through the air, while Zoro braces against the pressure and watches the line of the attack. The motion is so strong that panels are filled with broken walls, dust, and impact marks rather than ordinary footwork. Zoro does not retreat from the samurai's Brook-like technique; he studies it, absorbs the rhythm, and keeps his swords in front of him as the duel pushes them closer to the collapsing edge of the structure.

Zoro shifts to two-sword style, saying "Nitoryuu," while the page notes "Two-Sword Style." He prepares "Iai," described as the art of cutting down the opponent and then sheathing the sword. The attack becomes "Rashomon," and Zoro cuts through Ryuma's pressure with a clean, decisive counter. Ryuma recognizes the result at once: "He took it!!!" Zoro lands low in a stance surrounded by torn stone and sliced debris, his swords still out. The moment matters because Ryuma's black sword, Shuusui, is not just being defended against; Zoro is proving he can meet its wielder in direct technique and survive the answer.

The damage to the tower becomes impossible to ignore. Franky shouts, "Woah!! The pillar has broken off!" and someone warns, "Hey, wait...!! This floor is going to be smashed!! That's dangerous!!" Zoro does not stop. As the roof begins to fail, he fires "72-Pound Cannon" while Ryuma counters with "Polka Remise!!!" Their attacks rip through the room, and Brook yells, "Hey!! Hold on tight; we are escaping!! The roof is falling!" With the building collapsing beneath them, the weapons left behind rattle and the tower erupts with "Zuban!!" "Dogoon!!" and "Jakkin!!" as the duel tears the battlefield apart.

Smoke floods the broken roof as everyone coughs and scrambles. Franky coughs, "Cough, cough," then says, "Ah... that was dangerous!!" Brook pants "Haa" and "Haa" while the duel continues through the dust. A sharp strike pierces the roofline, drawing Brook's attention with "Hmm?" Then Zoro and Ryuma crash together again, both shouting with effort; Zoro roars "Nuaaah!!!" as their swords lock in a violent burst. Even as the room breaks beneath them, neither fighter treats the collapse as a reason to stop. The falling architecture only changes the shape of the arena, not the intensity of the match.

The duel spills onto the outside of the tower. From above, the steep black roof slides and crumbles while Franky shouts, "Wuoh!!" and someone cries, "Aah!! Be careful!! We are going to fall!!" Zoro and Ryuma skid across the slanted surface, panting "Haa" as broken stones tumble around them. Zoro slips to the other side and curses, "Damn!!" while another voice warns, "On the other side!!" He is knocked into the roof with "Pokon!!" but still keeps his swords ready. The fighters are now balancing on a collapsing pitch, turning footing itself into a weapon and a danger.

09
Zoro slides down the roof and shouts, "I'm falling!!" while Ryuma lunges from above with another swift attack, crying "Uoh!!" Zoro digs in, catches himself, and drives back into the fight. The two swordsmen keep striking even while gravity pulls them sideways. Their blades scrape along the slanted surface, sparks and debris flying as Zoro's face hardens with concentration. A close exchange leaves both momentarily separated, and the page focuses on Zoro's eye and clenched teeth as he finds the timing again. The roof is no longer stable ground; it is a steep, falling blade path, and both men are still choosing to fight on it.

Brook and Franky stare at the swordsmen fighting on the impossible angle. "How can they... with this footing...?" one of them asks as Ryuma and Zoro continue clashing on the steep roof. Franky watches with widening respect and thinks that if this goes on much longer, Zoro's katana might break. Still, he admits the swordsman's strength is real: "The comrade swordsman's strength coming from that body and soul is truly real..." Both fighters pant, "Haa..." while the roof groans under them. The tension is no longer just who cuts first, but whether Zoro's remaining blades can survive the level of force he is demanding from them.

11
A cutting shock flashes across the roof, and Zoro is suddenly launched forward as the tower face splits behind him. Franky shouts, "Hwah!! Hey!!! Are you all right!!?" while Brook reacts beside him. Zoro tumbles with his swords still in hand, then twists in midair and begins a sharp downward run along the roofline, the sound stretching into "Dododododo!!!" Ryuma tracks him from below. The page builds the sense that Zoro has stopped merely surviving the terrain and is now using the tower's slope as his approach, turning the fall into acceleration for one final pass.

12
Zoro commits to a one-sword finishing line. He calls "Ittou-ryuu" and then "Hiryuu," the page noting Flying Dragon. Ryuma answers with Brook's technique chain, calling "Hanauta" and "Sanchou" as he moves in. The two launch from opposite directions, one from the roof's slope and one from the air, converging in a narrow instant above the tower. Brook and Franky can only watch as the silhouettes cross and the building below smokes from the force of their movement. The duel has compressed into a single exchange: Zoro's flying dragon against the samurai's humming strike.

The final techniques meet. Ryuma's attack continues as "Yahazu Gi..." while Zoro's strike erupts into "Kaen!!!" The page freezes them in midair: Zoro inverted over his sword, Ryuma recoiling as the slash lands. The impact is not just a cut; it is followed by the image of flame beginning to catch. The names and motion make the exchange feel ceremonial, almost like two styles leaving their signatures at the same moment. Zoro's face is focused and severe, while Ryuma's skeletal features register the shock of a finishing blow that reaches through the body he borrowed.

14
Ryuma's wound ignites. He cries "Uoh!!!" and then sees the terrible result: "The wound is on fire!?" Flames curl out from the cut while he reels across the roof, the body struck by Zoro's fire-like slash. Zoro lands below, still braced, and both fighters understand the match has turned. Ryuma's body is burning from the wound, and the roof continues to slide and crumble under them. Their eyes meet in stunned recognition, marked by "...!!" on both sides. This is the decisive difference: Zoro's attack has not merely knocked Ryuma back, it has left a wound that the undead body cannot simply ignore.

15
Ryuma crashes down through the tower with a huge impact, and the fight's result becomes undeniable. Zoro, exhausted, stands with sword in hand as Ryuma lies burning and admits, "I lost." Brook can only stare, and the samurai continues, "The legendary swordsman once had this 'Meitou' on his side..." The page notes Shuusui as Clear Autumn Water. Ryuma lifts the black sword and says, "'Shuusui'!!! It would be this katana's long-cherished ambition... for you to be its master." The defeated corpse offers the blade not as a trophy stolen by force, but as an acknowledgment from one swordsman to another.

Zoro receives Shuusui with a sharp "Pash!!" as Brook and Franky try to understand what just happened. "Now... did that samurai say something?" Franky asks. Brook answers the thought from before: "In other words... it seems to be the conclusion...!! This is the first time I've seen this kind of battle." Ryuma, fading in flames, reflects, "That samurai... when he fought me... he wasn't serious at all...!!" and then says, "It was a wonderful match..." Finally, he apologizes for the body he used: "This samurai's body... to have it defeated... I truly feel sorry...!!" The duel ends with respect, regret, and the transfer of the sword.

Ryuma's spirit fades as he speaks like a warrior rather than a monster. "As long as you feel ashamed, that's enough... For as long as there was the mind and body of a warrior... I would want to have met you in the era when you were alive." Then his body collapses and the stolen shadow shoots away. Brook realizes it immediately: "It's... it's baaaaaaaack!! The shadow came back to me~~!!!" Franky and Brook rush forward in surprise, crying "Wha..." and "Oh!!" Zoro, holding Shuusui, smiles and says, "I'm taking the katana...!! Let's pretend this match never happened, samurai from Wano Country...!!!"

The SBS page answers reader questions. Oda explains that Zoan Devil Fruits can have different models, using examples like the Inu Inu Fruit: Model Dachshund, the Inu Inu Fruit: Model Wolf, the Ushi Ushi Fruit: Model Bison, and the Ushi Ushi Fruit: Model Giraffe. Another reader asks about Usopp saying that two of the same Devil Fruit powers cannot exist in the world at the same time; Oda says there is no mistake and hints, "Two of the same devil fruit powers cannot exist at the same time in this world." He says a certain professor will explain Devil Fruits in detail later. A final question asks about a mysterious person from Volume 46, and Oda jokes dangerously that he is Pandaman's rival working for the Tomato Gang.
