Questions & Mysteries Will Oda ever give us a direct answer for Zoro vs Law?

Zoro made 2 Yonko shit their pants because of his haki.

Law using awakening and everything he has can only make Big Mom laugh.
 
So I am well aware that this site is something of an echochamber for the most fervent zoro fans, but outside this small community, Zoro vs Law is something that is debated on by a majority of the forum. A significant amount of reddit users believe that Law>Zoro as Law is Luffy's rival, has a higher bounty, and defeated an emperor whereas Zoro simply defeated King.

Regardless of what your opinions are on Zoro vs Law, in order for Zoro to be the WSSM, Oda needs to do one of these things:
  • directly and unequivocally show that Zoro> Law
    • by having Zoro either defeat Law outright, defeat a much stronger opponent than Law's, or have Law state his inferiority
    • This isn't just something like Zoro using asura and Law making a soy face. It has to be something so significant that even non-zoro fans accept Zoro is stronger. After all, Oda isn't writing One piece just for the sake of Zoroboys on worstgen.
  • portray that Zoro isn't in competition with DF users like Law
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if later down the road, Law switches sides and tries to steal Luffy's poneglyph maps and we get Zoro vs Law to give us a definitive answer. But overall, by the end of one piece, Zoro vs Law shouldn't be up for debate. Either Zoro>Law, Law isn't in competition for WSSM because of his DF, or Zoro's title isn't definite.
Perhaps this time to redeem kid. Although it would make big mon look pretty bad lol
 

I saw user in this forum saying that Law hole is the size of Onigashima, what a fuking tard, this shit is barely the size of the room in which Zoro one shot Apoo.

PICA feat become each day more impressive :cheers::kuzanshut:
That’s not the final size of the hole, see top left hand corner.


It’s about 1/3rd of the diameter of Onigashima and several times deeper than its height. That shit could potentially cover Wanokuni island distance.

Still one of the most destructive feats in the manga, and this is only the aftereffect after it passed through BM.

np, that hole is smaller than the main room in Onigashima
 
Here’s a collection of all the things Law actually did against Big Mom

Chapter 1030

Beginning of what we see of the fight. Attacks Big Mom who is paying zero attention to him, focusing on Kid. This becomes a theme of the fight




Gets hit by Prometheus, independently.



Ends up on the deck, Big Mom basically unscathed other than a scratch on her face. Anything done here that base Zoro couldn’t? No.


Chapter 1031 and 1032

This is where Awakening comes into play. So at this stage we’ll say this is where KoH Zoro would start fighting as well, both being stamina draining upgrades that they unlocked after the fight.

Law, again, attacks Big Mom from behind while she’s focused on Kid,



It does hurt, but she recovers quickly and is still capable of talking.



It’s actually Kid that lands the stronger attack on her that takes time for her to recover and come back as Bigger Mom.







Any reason to think that if Zoro got to attack Big Mom from behind with a KoH attack (not Dragon Damnation) that it wouldn’t do at least the damage Law did? I say nope.

Chapter 1038

Beaten up a bit by nameless attacks. Nothing Zoro couldn’t take



Again, attacks a Big Mom paying zero attention to him.




Gets back up right after it only to be attacked by Kid.



So, again, if Zoro’s landing an unprotected KoH attack (not Dragon Damnation) on her from behind, it will fuck her up

Chapter 1039

Good hype for Law, Big Mom says his attacks are dangerous. But Big Mom was also shitting herself over base Zoro attacking Kaido on the roof, so eh



Law, once again, attacks from behind while Big Mom is attacking Kid. Combo here, launches a Tact and leaps on her right after




Law tanks the hits. These are also the last hits that Law takes. Impressive, eh, withstanding Hakai level, definitely not.



Lands Puncture Wille. His big attack. At this stage we can swap in Dragin Damnation. Does it blow up the crater in the ground, no, does it still badly fuck up Big Mom, hell yes.



She’s still capable of commanding Misery, the white eyes are very brief and she’s telling Kid to do his worst




That’s Law‘s biggest moment, and again, it’s nothing beyond Zoro. Anyone really going to try and argue he couldn’t take some base CoA punches, or that Dragon Damnation landed on her from behind wouldn’t fuck her up?

Chapter 1040

Here we see the one thing that Zoro cannot do. It’s also really situational and useless in most fights.



He also cuts up Misery, which Zoro could do



And… that’s the end of Law’s role. I really do not see squat puts him above Zoro. He’s certainly got a lot of very situational strengths- he can silence Big Mom, he can make a big crater in the ground. But that can be contrasted with the fact his one vs one attempts were pretty lacking.
Excellent work
 
he will make zoro the wss but they will never fight
in arcs where law is present he will be part of taking down significantly stronger opponents than zoro
and would receive portrayal a bit closer to luffy than zoro would.


the wss title will convince zoro fans he is certainly above law, for others who read the story without placing importance into blanket titles, it wouldnt mean a thing. TLDR shanks vs mihawk all over again.

Oda already gave a direct answer with the simple way of Law fighting and beating an Yonko, while Zoro fights and beat an YC1. Significant power difference. Clear answer.
case in point

Pretty much this.
The closer we'll get to the end, the more ambiguous it will get.
They'll practically be equals by EoS.

After all, it is pretty simple scalling by Oda. He places the Yonko (except Buggy for Gag-Reasons) on par, more or less. Also he does with the other positions. Also there is simple no doubt on Yonko >> YC1>YC2> Rest.

Beating an Yonko means >> YC1... Easy as that.
 
downplaying law and kidd's accomplishments
wont make zoro look better

they beat her to the point bombs put her out of commission...essentially on her last legs anyway . I fail to see the point you are trying to make.....
there is a difference between "downplaying" and factual statements , also you don't understand math
Law damage + Kid damage + Bombs damage = BM "defeated" allegedly even toh she clearly stated that's not enough
So how much is Law contribution ?
A+B+C = 10
HOW MUCH IS A ?
YOU DON'T KNOW
Law didn't FACTUALLY defeat anyone , all he got is sneak attacks that didn't beat anyone WOW so impressive
Post automatically merged:

Law can't take a pre AdvCoC Ashura , whereas Zoro can take Shock willie

She was already in her Flashback, aknowledging her own defeat. There is no doubt they already won at that point. But this was discussed already dozen times. :D
