Volume 12 covers the reverse mountain Mini-Arc and the start of the whiskey peak Arc capping off the East Blue Saga and starting the Arabasta Saga
Chapter 108 flintlock pistol dodge by Zoro Calc
there are a lot of Zoro dodging bullets in the whiskey peak Arc but most of them are arguably Aim dodges done well he is at his most causal but this one is the most non-arguable as a true dodge as he dodged after the bullet has been fired (but one can always split hairs )







Zoro's movement during the dodge is very awkward , a 90 degrees pivot down from his feet starting position and a 90 degrees pivot backwards from his torso but even so it gives use a easy way to estimate the speed of the movement of his head
as they are 90 degree pivots we can just take 1/4 of the Circumference or 128.8925cm = 150.71cm = 279.6025cm
the distance Zoro moved / the distance the bullet move ( 279.6025cm / 342.4434cm ) = 0.816492 or 81.6492% the speed of the flintlock bullet ( we will be going with the speed from Material Culture and Military History: Test-Firing Early Modern Small Arms )

Flintlock pistol STG 1128 Muzle velocity 385m/s X 0.816492 = 314.34942m/s which scales to Transonic in speed , Zoro seem to be putting in noticeable effort for this feat but that may just be attributable the awkwardness of the way he dodge

giving us an Area of 4,332,160 cm^2

4,332,160 cm^2 x 51.9599cm = 225,098,889.0748cm^3 Volume
225,098,889.0748cm^3 x 25J/cm^3 for tensile strength of Sandstone = 5,627,472,226.8702J or 1.344998142175 Tons of TNT building level
area



1.1491cm x 0.8778cm = 1.0088229cm^2 x 5 = 5.0441cm^2
estranging joules for Newtons we get
5,627,472,226.870255 N / 5.0441cm^2 = 1,115,654,373.7971601 N/cm^2 or 11,156,543,737,971.601Pa or 11.1565 TeraPascals Building level attack potency for Miss Monday and high end durability for Zoro

As Zoro is physically stronger than Miss Monday he should be able to reproduce the same feat if he had the Brass Knuckles but as he uses Swords it is not very relevant to his attack potency and is unknown if he could reproduce the feat's attack potency with is fists alone
