Mothers are Strong! Zoro's Hectic Household Chores!.As the others look for supplies, Zoro strolls the city in search of a replacement katana despite lacking money to afford a new sword. There, he is picked up by Michael and Hoichael, two idle boys from the backstreets he met while Garp was in Water Seven. The two attempt to help him find a sword shop while calling him their "big brother" to his dismay before meeting their foster-mother who takes him to their home to help in the chores. Eventually, after forced to wear a tight-fitting shirt, Zoro manages to escape but attempts to hide from his crew out of pride. Eventually, Zoro is found by Hoichael and learns the foster mother and her "children" have been abducted by a loan shark he saw attempting to collect interest from a fulfilled debt. After Zoro rescues the family, the foster mother allows him to return to "his family" before chasing after him to give him back his shirt.
