The Pirate King's Cursed Blade
Monkey D. Luffy isn't known for swordsmanship—he's the rubber man who punches his way through everything. But during the Wano Arc, even Luffy picked up a blade: the legendary Nidai Kitetsu, one of the 21 Great Grade swords and part of the infamous cursed Kitetsu lineage.
When the future Pirate King chooses a sword, you know it's special.
Luffy's Unexpected Blade
The Wano Arc marked a turning point in One Piece. Luffy and his crew infiltrated the isolated nation of Wano to take down the Emperor Kaido, and along the way, Luffy found himself in possession of the Nidai Kitetsu.
This wasn't just any sword—it was one of the legendary Kitetsu blades, crafted by the same lineage that forged Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu. The Kitetsu swords are famous for two things: their exceptional quality and their formidable curse that supposedly brings misfortune to their channelers.
But Luffy has never been one to believe in curses. With his unshakeable will and the Voice of All Things, the Nidai Kitetsu found a worthy master in the future Pirate King.
The Kitetsu Legacy
The Kitetsu swords represent a legendary lineage of cursed blades:
Shodai Kitetsu - One of the 12 Supreme Grade swords (the highest tier)
Nidai Kitetsu - One of the 21 Great Grade swords (Luffy's sword)
Sandai Kitetsu - A Skillful Grade sword (Zoro's sword)
Each Kitetsu blade is said to be cursed, bringing death to its channelers. Yet both Luffy and Zoro carry these "cursed" blades without fear—their willpower and luck seemingly overcoming any dark fate.
The Wano Connection
The Nidai Kitetsu has deep ties to Wano Country. It was held in Wano for years before Luffy obtained it, connecting the future Pirate King to the samurai nation and its legendary sword-smithing tradition.
Wano's isolation preserved these ancient blades, and now they're being carried into the world by the new generation of pirates who will reshape history.
