I think Zoro will be a shade stronger than Mihawk, I don't think their fight will be less than extreme diff. But who knows who he will fight in the end.
As you know I have Shanks/Dragon and Aka stronger than Mihawk.
I think Zoro will be the WSS of his time for sure, I don't know about Ryuma he will maybe be equal to him.
And Shanks will likely be dead by then and Shanks is not in the WSS race.

Cinera

Meh, I think there's a good chance that Zoro would be the strongest swordman ever. He should be well above the likes of chance, and he has decent chances to surpass Roger as well.

RayanOO

I really think he won't be stronger than the top of the top : EOS BB EOS Luffy Roger WB Rocks and Prime Garp.
Just because Roger can fight with a sword doesn't mean he is in the WSS race or that he cares at all about those thing.
Being as strong as Aka or Dragon is already insane and nothing to be ashame with.

Cinera

@RayanOO you're talking as if Zoro only wants to be stronger than those who care about the WSS title. That's not his dream. He wants to be the strongest person that fights with a sword. All those who fight with swords as their primary weapon he aims to surpass.

Cinera

You could argue that Shanks doesn't care about the WSS title, but Zoro doesn't care whether Shanks cares about the WSS title.

Cinera

There isn't any WSS race either.

Cinera

I didn't start out with an agenda of wanting Zoro to surpass Roger. I previously thought he'd cap around Kaido, but after the reveal that Roger is a bonafide swordsman, I can't exclude the possibility that Zoro would surpass Roger.

Cinera

If Luffy becomes the greatest pirate ever, it seems sensible that Zoro become the greatest swordsman ever.

RayanOO

On the other hand nothing indicate that Mihawk is equal to Roger and WB. I can't imagine Mihawk equaling the two. Roger is the man who conquered all the seas, who battled the monsters of his time : Rocks WB Shiki Garp etc who had a bounty of 5.5b. We maybe don't know Mihawk enough but he doesn't have those feats at all. And Roger fought equally with the WSM which shows in itself that titles are not absolute.

RayanOO

If WSM meant being the real strongest he would have beat Roger.

Cinera

@RayanOO I don't think Mihawk is on the same level as Rogerbeard, but I don't think EOS Zoro is on the same level as Mihawk either.

Cinera

Was WB the World's Strongest Swordsman while Roger was alive?

Cinera

Anyway, I don't care about titles for EOS Zoro. EOS Zoro would be the strongest swordsman in existence, and perhaps the strongest swordsman of all time.

RayanOO

You think he will be much stronger than Mihawk ? If Zoro and Mihawk ever fight I don't imagine nothing less than extreme diff. Imagine if Zoro high diff Mihawk it will be weird

Cinera

@RayanOO Zoro has had only one high diff fight, and that was because of a matchup advantage. Furthermore, post Arabasta Zoro could low/mid diff Daz Bones.

Cinera

This leads me to my next point, in all Zoro's high diff+ fights, Zoro ascends to a new level and the Zoro after the fight would be able to mid diff the opponent.

Cinera

After Arabasta Zoro unlocked the ability to cut steel and low/mid diffs Daz Bones.
With Kaku Zoro unlocked Asura, and Asura oneshots Kaku and shits on his strongest attacks.

Cinera

There's also the fact that Zoro will surpass Mihawk, and this can't happen if they're on the same level.

Cinera

Zoro may extreme diff Mihawk, but he will end that fight a level above Mihawk. I wrote a thread on this, let me find it.

Cinera
