Speculations For Zoro Fans, how will Zoro vs Mihawk fit into the Narrative?
- Thread starter Eagle
- Start date
Zoro doesn't have to kill his sensei even if they go all out, nobody really kills their opponents in One Piece unless the plot dictates them to do so. However, I do see Zoro maybe breaking Yoru with Sanzen Sekai to show his growth like how Mihawk broke Zoro's swords in their first fight. Ofcourse, with his own black blades that he forged.
Ideally, post the WG arc at the end of Zoro's journey.
As I said, it isn't going to be another 1v1 amongst a series of Strawhat matchups, it's going to be a sole 1v1 which would decide who becomes the WSS.
Makes zero sense, Mihawk was also a pirate at that time and his job for the WG was not to fight Zoro. Mihawk and Shanks also have a personal relationship and yet they duelled each other.
The point is, the entire "Mihawk has to be bad" narrative is built based on unfounded basis when the duel is about who is the strongest swordsmen.

Re-read Baratie.
We are clearly shown how one can become the WSS - by challenging the current WSS and beating him in a duel - which is exactly why Zoro challenged Mihawk. Thinking that he'd become the WSS in any other way is just wishful thinking when nothing like that is substantiated in the manga. Even in Onigashima, we see Zoro go on about how he'd become the WSS by beating THAT MAN - not by any other way.
That's the point - they are fighting to see who is the strongest Swordsman. It doesn't have to be a grudge duel.

It doesn't have to be and it may not be, but when I think of Oda and rivalry, I think of joint interviews with Toriyama or Kishimoto where they sit around and call each other a genius. I hope in the story he's writing, there's some self awareness that reverence somewhat corrupts the competitive spirit.
My point exactly, Don Kreig was merely Mihawk's prey at that time and he wasn't connected to Zoro's and Mihawk's duel in anyway. Luffy didn't interfere in the duel, and will not interfere in their future duel as well.
Mihawk being allied with Shanks or the WG or any other faction is unnecessary for Mihawk vs Zoro to happen. It won't be another matchup in a host of Strawhats vs Bad Guys matchups like Zoro vs Mr.1/Kaku/King.
Never said that. My point is that Zoro is going to beat Mihawk in a 1v1 duel to become the WSS, he won't be crowned the WSS in any other way.

Are you even reading what I'm saying?
Post automatically merged:
that is the thing, mihawk has to be connected to the plot as he was with don, but the problem is that mihawk is not related to the wg anymore and the only person of relevance that he is related to his shanks (who is probably not a bad guy) and if luffy fights shanks in the same arc that zoro defeats mihawk, that would mean that shanks is stronger which zoro fans would not want to accept leaving 2 other choices
1. zoro doesn't fight mihawk or it is a friendly duel
2. zoro does something that makes him wss without fighting mihawk
