Though a Bird Can't Fly, That Doesn't Mean It Never Will is a One Piece Alternate Universe Fic in which Zoro's deceased childhood friend Kuina survived her canonical fate, only to be struck blind instead.With Zoro's encouragement, Kuina struggles to overcome her impairments and become as good a swordswoman as she ever was. Years later, she finally catches up with Zoro, only to discover he's fallen in with Straw-Hat Luffy and his crew. Kuina, in turn, is driven to join up with the Marines (to be more precise, with Captain Smoker's crew) in order to pursue Zoro and either bring him to his senses... or bring him down. Kuina's pursuit of Zoro ends up taking her on the journey of her life, weaving a tale that crosses paths with the familiar chronicle of the One Piece series in interesting ways.Sadly, the story hasn't been updated since 2014.

Underestimating Badassery: Thanks to her appearance and marine rank, Kuina gets underestimated by her opponents very often. Ironically inverted in season 2, when Kuina tries to stop a fight by who she assumes is a simple thug. She gets a very nasty surprise when she finds out the hard way the person in question is actually Urouge, one of the Eleven Supernovas.

Green-Eyed Monster: Tashigi with Kuina. Not only did Kuina look just like her, but she is also an incredible swordsman in spite of her disability. It should be noted Tashigi's main problem is insecurity, the source of her envy. If it wasn't for the fact Kuina and Zoro aimed to become the greatest swordsman in the world, Tashigi would at least be able to stand any comparison.

Like Brother and Sister: After hearing Kuina set sail after Zoro because she thought he was endangered, Luffy concludes she's his big sister because only an older sibling would worry that much for someone. When she tries to protest they are not blood-related, he points they don't have to be - Ace and Sabo weren't blood-related to him, after all.

comment
Shout-Out: Kuina's sword teacher is clearly inspired by (and named for!) the protagonist of Zatoichi. During one of Kuina's fantasies about Luffy, she imagines him as posing dramatically with a notebook while boasting about his ability to kill anyone whose true name he knows. During the G8 arc, one "Commander Shepherd" calls Briggs a "big stupid jellyfish".
