About this Style
The second avatar based on Zoro's swords from One Piece.

I see Shusui (Clear Autumn Water) as the most traditional sword, seeing as it was used by an actual legendary samurai and was sort of his "trusted companion" if you want to call it that.

Zoro also mentions in the series that Shusui is very hard and heavy, as well as having a temper. This made me portray Shusui as someone who cares very much for traditional bushido (Japanese "way of the warrior") and very little for anything else.

I also tried to base the gold stuff loosely on the actual looks of the sword, which has a cross hand guard and a scalloped blade.
