Speculations Zoro matchup for Elbaf ?

#22
What purpose do you think Shamrock serves in One Piece and who is possible here?
Shanks replacement in the story after he likely croaks after this arc to show his full potential, would be my guess if i need to, but just more than "zoros token HK sword dumbo opponent." Could be alot of other things but the point is he is way more important

1. He was in the final spread, so far for 90% percentage its confirmed, and for the rest its heavily implied, that they have their own agenda. We are already getting the vibe, for example, that for garling he seems to have higher ambitions and seems to be different than the rest of the gorosei. It makes sense that he was in the spread being the same faction, like for example Coby who is also in the same faction as akainu but still drawn there because he follows a different path to akainu and is important

2. Shamrock potential was compared to 2 armed shanks and shanks would only reach his level AFTER he got a deep sea contract. So shamrock has a portrayal and hype that transcends Shanks, who is crippled, and oda refuses to answers sbs question if cripple or mihawk, zoros pre-final arc opponent, is stronger


3. Narrativly Shamrock being introduced on elbaf clearly as a tease for bigger things to come while the focus the whole arc was on shanks is just bad

Like legit cap take that A) shamrock will come back to elbaf b) will have a full fight against zoro at all things, at any point before the final arc

As who is possible: The others/me answered already
Its either killingham, Sommers, or all of the Sh against DR loki/monster form imunko in all out of fight like Oars


I dont know, people missed this detail: The form Imu is using right now is EVEN weaker than the God valley. In god valley, imu pysically possed Saturn, and he needed to go back to the holy land per ship


In Elbaf, whatever possession he is enacting on Gunko, he is physically still in the holy land. So a matchup against giga nerfed imu is also on the cards imo

This doesn´t mean anything. Imu wouldn´t want Saturn to sink with the rest of the island, so they left. There´s no reason to assume their body left Mariejois.

My ideal combat path for Zoro in Elbaph would be: defeating DR Giants (leading the giants and honing his ACoC), then defeating Killingham/Sommers (killing a Knight of God), and finally fighting DR Loki (a Straw Hat group battle, possibly ending with ZKL).
this sounds exactly like some of the old ZKK theories

Its clearly means something, its also absolutely looks nothing like how imu is posessing gunko now, and the whole GV scenes is potrayed as "god" came to earth, he even talks like he is pyscially there with his body, like even his goofy crown
this sounds exactly like some of the old ZKK theories

... You think Shanks will die and be replaced by Shamrock? Well okay then.

To be fair, it's only natural after seeing that there's a bigger and better dragon. In this case, there's also a very decent chance that Luffy will not win by himself. Assuming that Loki is possessed, which I'm admittedly leaning towards regardless of the final fight logistics.

Shanks getting humiliated and getting killed by fatty df merchant is such an ancient and lukewarm take i dont even know what to say to this :quest:

No i actually think oda hyped the 2 armed literal shanks clone with more potential and put him in the final saga starting spreadg for funnies, actually
He probally die to ben beckman
:joker:

Individual who switches up "Bummers will fight this, bummer will do this" every week is saying this?
What happened to shame :josad:
An Imu vessal isn´t being introduced on a flashback in Elbaf for the actual vessal in the arc to be something fundamentally different. Zoro and the other SHP will not be able to do anything to Gunkimu, like every other character without one of the special fruits tied to the ancient figures like the god of war, Davy jones and Soyboy

On GV no one killed a HK either yet one is dead here in elbaf, so not an argument

Like you said Previous arc opponent is weaker, and the sh are steadly progressing and the power level rising

Shamrock is the only one worthy enough
Yeah. I'm not even saying that this is what Oda has in mind, but it has to be someone who's been made immortal by Imu after what Gaban said. Killingham is perfectly fine fighting Sanji, as Sommers is completely debased and Gunko has a female form. Unless Oda brings someone else to the story, but why would he if there's already a guy with a very strong sword?

Nusjuro seems inevitable, but I'm not sold on him here because it doesn't make sense for him to show up.

?

This isn´t a good comparison at all. The HK´s powers work the same. Its just a matter of circumstance

Similarily, Imunko and Imuturn are obviously going to be the same thing, it´s just Nika and Loki that save the SHP in this situation
