@HA001 has already given the canonical reply, so I'm not going to repeat it. But if you didn't read it, then Zoro's Rooftop feats already show that he's well above the likes of King.
Many Believe Mihawk is Above the 1st Commanders Around the Admiral/Yonko Range. I personally think Mihawk is Just Below the Admirals. But for Arguments sake, lets say Mihawk is in the Admiral/Yonko Range.
If Mihawk really is Admiral/Yonko Level and One Piece is ending in 4-5 Years, Shouldn't Zoro atleast Defeat King right now, so we can atleast know forsure Zoro is above 1st Commanders and his heading to Admiral Territory?
This has already been shown. Defeating King doesn't really add that much unless and injured Zoro stomps him.
Recently Zoro has attained Fire Cutting Abilities
This makes him fighting King less likely as there's no room for growth.
I believe King will be the first of a long streak of Great Zoro Opponents from here until the end of the story. If Mihawk is truly on the level of the Admirals/Yonko
King has no bearing on Mihawk's power level.
Top tiers that Zoro will face before Mihawk:
- Strongest Elbaf Giant?
- Benn Beckman (?)
- Shiryuu
- Issho (?)
- Borsalino
Which is Why Zoro defeating King is so important for both Zoro and Mihawk
No, it's irrelevant for Zoro and Mihawk. I get that you want Zoro to fight King, and I think that it probably happens at this point, but King really doesn't do anything for Zoro or Mihawk.
Unless King is secretly much stronger than Marco, the only value he offers is to wank Zoro by having a heavily injured Zoro take him on.
If Zoro fights King, it will be while
heavily injured and nowhere near his full combat ability. It'll be nice to show that Zoro can low diff YC 1s, but he otherwise has nothing to prove.
But yea.... Thats all I have to say.... What are your thoughts? If Zoro's fight with Mihawk happens next arc without Zoro defeating Anybody prior will you be fine with that? Are these feats in a 5v2 yonko fight enough to satisfy you? Despite all of Zoro's support Big Mom and Kaido are still fine......... But yea leave your thoughts.
Zoro is Killing Kaido and that far surpasses even negging King.
I think this post is based on a fundamentally flawed premise — Zoro needs to prove that he's above YC 1s — he doesn't, and
@HA001 already showed why.
