Rival
Name: Sasuke Uchiha

Reason: After arriving in the Rival Arena, Zoro encounters Sasuke and notices his sword then challenges him to a fight. But Sasuke initially turns down his challenge, which results in Zoro insulting him by saying that Sasuke isn't a true swordsman and calling him a "brat swinging around a sharp stick", that ends with Sasuke agreeing to Zoro's challenge.

Connection: Both are popular heroes in Shonen Jump manga. Both also show an affinity for wielding swords
