Dante's a true warrior. He's trained since he was 7 after hearing about the "most talented young swordsman" Zoro Roronoa, hoping to become a great swordsman like his new idol. His motto is "I don't have time for fun..." He hopes to one day be good enough to train under the wings of Zoro Roronoa, and eventually surpass him. However, should he be given the chance to protect Zoro on the battlefield, he would give his life in a heartbeat to protect him.
