"Don't think you know everything about swordfighting, kid." He grunted, clearly displeased by the boy's assumptions. "Good swordsmen don't only count on the caliber of their weapons, though a lot of the stupid ones do. You can't be the worlds greatest swordsman just because you have the worlds greatest sword." And he believed that with all his previous conviction. This was a code Zoro obviously lived by. His muscles proved as much.
"But don't count me in with you kid," Here his smirk turned nasty. It was his amused face, but to anyone who didn't know him well enough to distinguish the difference it was just about the same as his sadistic one. "I've fought without weapons before. I can win my fights without them." Though he was severely weakened here, Zoro figured that it didn't matter. Being just a tiny bit weaker was no excuse to break his vow to Luffy. "You'd better worry about yourself, you're kinda puny. It looks like a small wave could drown you if you aren't careful."
Zoro wasn't necessarily being insulting, he was just stating whatever honest opinion he'd formed of the boy in front of him. Of course, the fact that he wasn't pulling any punches meant that the kid had it coming. Usually Zoro would let it go, but this one... this one needed a good hit on the head.
