Questions & Mysteries Analyzing Zoro's Left Eye; Is It a Hidden Power or An Injury From a Duel with Mihawk?

#1
One particular theory that needs reviving is that Ryuma and Reyleigh have the same scars positioned in the same way as Zoro. What's more is that they're all elite swordsmen and share the same strong demonic theme that revolves around them. Knowing how anime trope works has compelled me to bring this up because it all sounds too familiar.

The bandage around Ryuma is oddly specific and clearly shows Oda is leaving a hint so I believe Ryuma and young Reyleigh may have cross passed with Mihawk at one point, challenged him to a duel and got the scar on the chest then later they trained under him who performed some sort of demonic ritual to store a hidden power in their eye with a special ability that only the Nerona vampire clan possess (inspired by Sharingan lore).

In glimpse of Reyleigh's flashback in Saboady arc, the back of his head was only shown when Roger first met him which looks intentional so the way I see it, he was one eyed until he fought a top tier swordsman before Roger Pirates rose to the top. Now when you think about it, Straw Hats will never reach the top until they clear the other remaining Yonkos and keep WG at bay.

We've never seen Zoro struggled in a fight and always found a way to exploit their weakness so he's gonna open his eye and release the power against a Yonko level swordsman when he has no other alternatives.



Thoughts?

Pirates used Eye-Patches so that They get their Eyes accustomed to the Dark, They would adjust more quickly,
For example, They would cover one Eye & once it's Night or They are going to a Dark Place (Including inside the Ship), They would switch Eyes,

Zoro being One-Eyed was said by Oda to have been Planned since before OP even started, meaning it's very crucial for Story,
And based on what i explained above, this means that his Closed Eye is meant for another Place

This is further foreshadowed by Zoro's Weakness with Directions, do you know what else is Bad with Directions in One Piece? Compass or Log Pose that aren't where they belong,

A Normal Compass doesn't work in Grand Line, you need a Log Pose, and even that doesn't work in New World as you needed an Upgraded One (with Three Needles instead of One),

So Zoro's Eye & Gag is actually revealing to us that Zoro doesn't belong in this World, his Vision & Sense of Direction belongs in another place, and i don't really need to prove any of this, the guy is Asura (Three Heads using Nine Swords, which makes him like Upgraded Form of NW Log Pose) & everything about him is related to Afterlife (Even Shinigami paid him a visit), and He even said that i'm gonna become King of Hell

OP World is much more than it seems, there are countless Hints that there is an Underworld Version of it & also a Heaven Version of it, for example i won't be surprised if Holy Knights & Gorosei can Teleport using this Underworld which was also shown when Giant Straw Hat was revealed, while Heaven World is Ancient Kingdom

Elbaph is just a Mini-Version of The World, that's why Oda re-created that Scene of Shanks in a Bar with a Kid asking to join his Crew.

For Rayleigh and Ryuma it might be design-only since they don't have the same purpose Zoro does but for Zoro it will likely be an ability that will be used at certain point. It is either kept close to be used to the dark place or it is to train the same eyes as Mihawk has.

How could Ryuma have fought Mihawk and trained under him if he's been dead for centuries:milaugh:
Sky-chin, would it really be that surprising that the guy named Dracule Mihawk is several centuries old?
After all, Dracula is famous for exactly that thing.

It'd be very surprising if the guy who Oda has already confirmed is 43 years old was actually centuries old, yes.

Mihawk is not immortal, he has clearly aged since Roger's execution.

Well the Elders are also around 100 years old despite being several centuries old... Same for Imu, probably in his 40s while being a millennium old probably...

The character Mihawk is based on, Dracula, is known for being able to alter his appearance, ranging from young to old ages.
Not saying this is happening but it wouldn't be surprising if it happened.

Or it could be Mihawk who took the WSS title from Ryuma. We can see he was buried with the bandage on so this means the wounds wasn't healed when he was sick.

Also ryuma and Roger pirates don't exist at same time. Ryuma is 400 years old.
Yeah, I am saying that young Reyleigh went to challenge him for the WSS title but lost and dropped that goal afterward.

Oda never told us the Gorosei's age unlike Mihawk, so no.

I feel like it's a challenge of some sort.

Like Mihawk said No to Alcohol to Zoro until he perfects Hardening.
And
Next is to not Open his left eye until he masters some sort of CoO (FS,FS Killer or breath of all things). Or maybe don't open it until he is worthy of challenging Mihawk.

I mentioned in the post that I believe the Nerona clan is from the vampire race and Mihawk is one of them. There are several hints that leads them to be one.

If Imu can give powers to the Gorosei using a demonic ability (red eye?) then Mihawk could.

Just, let's hope this Is not Naruto.

He lost It during training and that's It.
Not just Naruto, drawing out dormant powers is a popular trope in battle shounen so that's the main reason why I believe it's a hidden power reserved for end game opponents.

Also there are high chances swordsman did it to themselves for better focus!
Zoro may not have FS but bro is easily Keeping up with FS users in CQC. His base CoO is strong.

Like Ray , Ryuma might have done it themselves.
And so did Zoro. Like Fujitora (Who probably has the best CoO in the verse).

I again think it's Breath of All things related.

Yeah, but let's avoid eye-powers. At least that.
Also, he almost died a few times and should have used It then, not at randomly after.

Overall, all he could achieve could be achieved through Haki training and battle experience, so let's go that way.
