Powers & Abilities When Mihawk and Zoro finally clash...

#41
Akainu was looking to kill Coby, not another top tier, doubt he was going full force besides a DF punch. In comes Shanks, wouldn't take his full power of a CoA. Think of it as a Jet Pistol over a KKG punch.
imo doesn't matter if he was going to kill Coby the AoE of the magma punch is simply too big to be blocked for a sword even it has CoA on it.

Shanks need to stop the punch and the aoe of the attack which a barrier allows ,quite simple.

Assume ?

Wouldn't that be obvious, just look the size of the magma punch and the size of the sword .

The sword alone lacks size to create this barrier like result that's why barrier coa was used.
I said assume, because idk remember that ever being a thing. Unless it's actually possible. I mean assuming what DF's could do is fine but don't apply it as if its fact.

I just thought that by comparing the size of the sword and the magma fist one would get how impossible is to fully blocking it.
I get what you mean but strictly looking at the panel, Shanks sword is blocking the fist, which stops the punch in it's tracks. Tbh idk if magma would realistically splash about. I know lava/magma is runny but iirc it tends to stick together rather than just that. /shrug it's possible I won't discount it but in the same vein idk a panel showing it.
Are we considering Akainu to be magma or lava???

Oda has drawn enough CoC clashes for the readers to be able to identify one when it happening at this point. The two greatest Conqueror's on the One Piece planet just clashed in a manner that puts all other conqueror Haki clashes to shame and we get "It's probably armament haki" as a counter argument....



There were barely any clouds in the sky until after Roger and Whitebeard clashed. They completely changed the weather with that clash. That's not something Armament Haki clashes have ever been shown to be capable of, but has been shown to happen in Conqueror's clashes multiple times.

And yeah, their weapons were oozing Armament Haki because that was Oda's way of conveying their level of CoA. In every single one of Luffy's CoC clashes, armament Haki in conjunction with CoC as well. The end result is still the same.
I think it's a mixture
If it was Barrier/flow only. Oden wouldn't be shocked

We know CoC can clash like that without getting into contact :
Kata and Luffy did that by just staring at each other.

WB and Roger unleashed CoC along with CoA flow, the CoC permitted their blades to create a force without colliding. Abs the CoA caused the force to be greater even.

Magu magu no mi is magma fruit if we use the literal sense.

Magma is semi-liquid rock so it would splash.

.. it but in the same vein idk a panel showing it..
His Logia form is semi-liquid like.

Now defeat Blackbeard and become the Pirate King !
You think BB fight will happen after Mihawk ? Do you see Zoro fighting anyone on BB’s crew.

If it does happen it would be cool if they call back to Arlong arc and because of his injuries Zoro can only fight for 30 seconds and he ends up beating Aokiji or Shilliew or whoever his opponent is in less than 30 seconds.

Maybe they’ll even have an Arlong moment where BB picks up the injured Zoro and takes out his bandages and then when he sees Zoro’s injuries he shits his pants at how strong and tough Zoro is 😄

This is how I imagine the battle will go.

On Laughtale island, Mihawk patiently waits on what looks like a throne and Zoro appears.

Before the fight, Zoro has quick flashbacks from his perspective of Luffy rescuing him, his first loss against Mihawk, his friendship with the crew, some moments with Tashigi, and closing with his promise to Kuina.

Beforehand, we are also told that Mihawk inherited that title by defeating Rayleigh with barely any wound making the challenge of defeating the WSS the greatest it has ever been.

Their clash begins and its pretty much as intense as a Yonku clash. The battle is absolutely destructive in nature and literally shaking the nature and chaotic environment of Laughtale island itself.

Zoro armed with Nidai Kitetsu, Wado Ichimonji, and a fully blacked Enma are able to match the Intensity of Yoru.

However, Mihawk's experience and observation Haki are able to see Marimo's every moves.

Zoro's youth and endurance are pretty much what keeps him in this battle. Despite growing exponentially stronger, Mihawk is still the superior swordsman. Both have COC but Mihawk's mastery of Ryou is unmatched maybe by Shanks himself.

Mihawk is a perfectly oiled machine. He is not only powerful but he is extremely precise and waste no movement which was how Kuina was able to defeat him 2001 times.

Zoro is still able to injure Mihawk which is a miracle feat in itself but he is running out of breath and his armament Haki covering his body can no longer take that much damage.

Zoro throws everything in one last technique that is a combination Sanzen Sekai and Ashura with his most powerful Conqueror, and armament Ryou Haki. That new move seemingly lands but Mihawk was able to read it just in time so that it was not a fatal wound.

Mihawk lands his most powerful attack and a devastating blow on Zoro who is barely standing. Mihawk is amazed by his determination.

By sheer will, Zoro stands up again and again and takes literally the biggest beating of his life since Kuina.

Seemingly defeated Zoro remembers what his childhood friend said " Carrying two real swords is heavy and your brute strength is not enough". Koshiro told Zoro ever since he came here, Kuina has trained even more because she did not want to be defeated by him. Little by little, she was able to break the barriers swordwomen faced. Zoro has an epiphany.... Kuina's dream was never an illusion . He recalls what Mihawk told him that a sword without grace and skill is useless. This is how she was able to defeat him all this time against physically stronger adults. If she can do it I can do it !

Zoro remembers what Tashigi told him "that sword Wado Ichimonji she is really happy with you ! she tells you to keep going no matter what and she will always be with you !" Zoro is now in complete harmony with Wado Ichimonji and turns permanently black ( he doesn't have the strength or the need to carry the other two katanas}.

He goes back into battle. Somehow, Wado Ichimonji also helps him see glimpses of the future and predict the WSS' moves.

Zoro and Mihawk are now completely even.

He is able to deal precise hits and is transcending Mihawk in every categories.

Both fighters are at their limits, the next attack will be their last. They throw everything into one last move.

Somehow someway, Zoro emerges victorious with a move reminiscent of Shi Shi Sonson and Tashigi's Kiri Shigure.

Mihawk defeated on the ground smiling simply mutters " Splendid" .

Zoro falls on the ground and the skies clearing as if the heavens were looking at him. Zoro in tears brands his sword to the sky and screams with what strength he has left " Kuina ! I did it ! I have fulfilled our promise ! I have become the greatest swordsman ! You heard it too Luffy ! Now defeat Blackbeard and become the Pirate King !

Narrator says " Thus was the battle of the greatest swordsman, a story that started with a girl and a boy that will live on forever"

Edit : One Piece will be on break next week.

Yes, based on the way Oda structures his major arcs Luffy vs BB will be the series last fight. Oda has always made a point that becoming PK is a harder path than becoming WSS. It seems logical for Luffy to have the final duel.

I think Zoro is gonna have a short Skirmish against Shiriyu who will try to slow down the straw hats so Teach can get to One Piece first. Their fight is gonna be interrupted by Tashigi who trained a month in Wano with a new sword. There is no swordsmen more dishonorable, cruel, and sadistic than Shiriyu. He would make a perfect opponent for the marine sword girl.

I would like a Zoro vs Kizaru cause he almost caused killed him in Shabondy and I am hyped for a lightsaber fight :kizabat:
