Do you think it's possible that Zoro unlocks Conqueror Haki? I think there have been plenty of moments in the series that show he has the qualities of a King/conqueror.

PRE TS
- in his original meeting with Luffy, he says he will kill him if he stands in the way of his dream.

- he says he wants to become so great that his name reaches the HEAVENS.

- when seemingly meeting his end against Mihawk, he chooses to look death in the face and greets it.

- challenging the WSS and even when so outclassed, he does not flee from the battle. He does not submit and makes Mihawk remember his name.

- At Whiskey Peak, he refuses to join Baroque Works unless they make him the LEADER.

-At Enies Lobby, he openly tells the World Government (the highest ranked power) that they will never get a chance to kill him again.

-At Water 7, he also tells Luffy that Usopp MUST apologise for disrespecting the position of captain and that he will LEAVE the crew if Usopp is allowed to join back without an apology.

-At Thriller Bark, he is the one who leads the crew while Luffy is unconscious and battles with Kuma. He then takes all of Luffy's pain and remains CONSCIOUS and STANDING. Showing great willpower.

-At Sabaody, he is even mistaken for the captain and is questioned how a man like that can be a subordinate.

-Also at Sabaody, he does not hesitate to cut down a member of the most PROTECTED people in the world, the CELESTIAL DRAGONS.

POST TS (so far)

- at Fishman Island, says it's the expected for his captain to have Conqueror Haki. Otherwise he'd have to step down.

- at Punk Hazard, he is the one that tells Luffy, HIS CAPTAIN, to get a grip and take things seriously in the New World.

-Also at Punk Hazard, he completely immobilizes Monet through sheer FEAR and INTIMIDATION. He cuts her without Haki and yet she is unable to reform.

- At Dressrosa, he reminds Pica that he will become the WSS, and that Pica is no match for him.

-Also at Dressrosa, he has no fear trying to fight an Admiral (someone out of his league) TWICE. Once when he launches a flying slash after being sent into a crater, and the second when Luffy is fighting Fujitora.

-At Zou, he tells Luffy he will round up the Samurai of Wano. (Luffy more did this himself tbh but Zoro gets to know the people of Wano and develops friendships with important figures)

BONUS

- He shares many parallels with Rayleigh, THE DARK KING. Rayleigh was the right hand man of Roger and VC of the Roger Pirates while Zoro is the right hand man of Luffy and the unofficial VC figure for the SH's.

-His goal involves CONQUERING all swordsmen. In other words, becoming the KING of swordsmen. The undisputed BEST.

-2nd in commands for prominent crews normally have CoC. Rayleigh (Roger Pirates), Oden (WB Pirates), Katakuri (BM Pirates). If King is revealed to have it, then I think it's a given that Zoro will also have it.

What do you guys think about this?

He has everything required for CoC but this is one ability I personally dont want for Zoro. No need for fodder control abilities...
I think he will have it. And we don't know yet how powerful CoC can be.
After all we didn't know that Coo could allow to see seconds into the future when pushed to its extreme and that CoA could damage the interior of an object or of a body without even the need of a contact.

It's Oda's way of writing, for now CoC is mainly for fodders but you can expect it to have a greater impact later in the serie.

Unless he gets advanced CoC which is presumably more than fodder control there is no need for Zoro to have it.
And he won't get advanced CoC if it exists because it will be reserved as an end game Luffy powerup.

Mihawk probably doesn't have kings haki which is why Shanks' overall combat ability is better even if his swordsmanship is 99 to Mihawks 100.

If anyone will unlock CoC in the strawhats, it will be Zoro and Usopp. Zoro because he's already the baddest character in all of One-piece. How disappointing would it be for the fans if the baddest character to ever (indirectly) walk the one-piece world didn't have CoC. Thankfully, oda isn't typically one to disappoint so we should see CoC from zoro in this arc. Usopp because his lies come true and because he's already a god. It should come as no surprise to anyone if god sama himself has CoC. In fact, it is unacceptable otherwise.
