Nisezoro

Unsettlingly similar to Zoro, Nisezoro wears mostly the same look with a few changes, including a yellow helmet marked with the Doskoi Panda logo and a red tag hung around his neck. The disguise is good enough that he can convincingly stand in for the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.

In contrast to the genuine Roronoa Zoro, Nisezoro fights dirty and feels no shame about seizing hostages to tilt a fight in his favor.

Like the real Zoro, Nisezoro carries three blades, though only one is a true katana while the other two are cutlasses. He fights as a capable swordsman built around countering, which makes him grow more dangerous the tougher his foe becomes, unless someone fells him in a single strike. His counters include Geppu, Ikkatsuhensai, Kumogakure, and his fiercest, Gekkinbarai, which hurls damage back as though the enemy had been struck by an axe.

Together with Niseluffy and Niseusopp, Nisezoro set about pretending to be the Straw Hats. With their Nisenise Pirates followers, they raided the 153rd Marine Branch into a panic and fled toward Orange Town, then sacked that town as well before taking over a bar at its edge and forcing a local woman to serve them. When Luffy and the Set Sail Pirates arrived, Nisezoro argued that Luffy stood alone while they had three fake Straw Hats, which made the impostors seem more credible.

After the dispute turned to fighting and the group spilled outside, the henchmen were quickly beaten and Luffy floored Niseluffy with a Gomu Gomu no Stamp. Cornered, Nisezoro grabbed the nearby woman as a hostage to freeze Luffy while Niseusopp dropped a cage on him. He was about to finish Luffy when the real Zoro arrived, furious that his name had been stolen. The two traded blows, and Nisezoro countered several of Zoro's strikes until a Set Sail Pirates member tossed food to the hungry Zoro, who then unleashed a decisive strike that beat both Nisezoro and Niseusopp. He was handed to Nezumi when the officer came to arrest them.
