Questions & Mysteries How will/can Zoro become the WSS

#61
I get your point
But not a single opponent he faught holds a candle in swordsmanship to Vista or Shanks for example! Who are both renowned yet Oda probably will just never let Zoro clash with them

A cool scenario imo would be... Vista hates Usopp's dad too much (according to SBS) that he fucks Usopp when he sees him just to get on Yassop nerves, but Zoro actually decides to fold his ass instead because he's a swordsman and for Usopp
King should be stronger than Vista so that will so that will come this arc
After thar there would be shiryu then Mihawk and i think thats good enough if Shiryu is a few tiers above regular commanders

Moving from Shiryu to Mihawk is reasonable enough not to require shanks along the way

in the story, Zoro’s dream is extremrly straughtfoward. Its fprums where people complicate it

I personally believe WB commanders (Marco/Jozu/Vista) are all higher than other YCs
But even if we disagree
From looks of it, Zoro's focus this arc is Kaido, not King!
Which is more impressive
But generally Kaido isn't a swordsman
And King continues to show he relies on his DF and hand to hand combat more than his sword

Lets just take tgis statement as the premise okay:

King is a swordsman who is stronger thsn vista and will fight Zoro and lose to Zoro

This above statement has to just be allowed or else this argument will become a whole other thing

believe me, i can go step by step with argumrnts for each part of this statement but for now its unimportant

We were discussing Zoro’s ladder of progression and ive given you the ladder. King -> Shiryu -> Mihawk. Simple

you know for a fact that Zoro will not fight Vista or Shanks, so once again, you are choosing to make this complicated. So what if Zoro doesnt fight those two, Ive given you a perfecrly reasonable path that Oda himself is pushing. (yes, the mere existence of king is enough to justify Zoro vs King and Zoro’s main fight is not gping to be kaido unless you think Zoro will kill him)

There is no need to make things too complicated. Oda does that himself with Zoro’s character. By that i mean you say Zoro’s dream should be so straightfoward but it is and the complexity is entirely made up Zoro. For example Zoro decided that Wado Ichimonji will stay with him untilhe becomes WSS. Thats not necesarry. You dont need specfic swords to beat people. Zoro made his dream a little bit more complicated by choosing that Wado stays with him. There’s a number of such complications Zoro added to his dream that arent necesarry. Like Zoro has to protect his crew which has nothing to do with his dream, and he has to make Luffy pirate king, all of which are things that arent required to be WSS and yet Zoro chooses tgat they are required

By cutting Kaido then Defeating King, then defeating Shiryu, then defeating Fujitora,

Zoro will then feel he's earned the right to challenge Mihawk and that's how the series ends. With Luffy as PK and maybe shanks there betting on the outcome.

Wouldnt even draw the fight, just end it with the them dashing at on another lol (Ducks from all the hate)

I don't see him challenging or at least defeating King, mostly in that the upcoming yonko clash should exhaust him, but I definitely concur overall. Mihawk also earned his title, Zoro doesn't want to become stronger than Mihawk alone, he wants to become WSS, and that implies being recognized as one as well.

How do you become the strongest by beating the weaker chatacter?

Zoro beats Mihawk for the title. No one else.
Who say Shanks is weaker than Mihawk? Even if Shanks does indeed weaker than Mihawk, the gap is not that big.

Bottom line is that if Zoro doesn't fight Mihawk (it will happen btw) then Zoro can go for the second strongest swordsman and he officially become the WSS.

By taking out the one who will murder Mihawk.

My Theory? Shiryu got the Suke Suke no Mi for a reason. He's a dirty fighter, and I think he will end up killing Mihawk in a sneak attack during battle, and when Zoro finds out, he's gonna take out Shiryu. Not to mention Zoro's reputation and feats, especially after Wano that will place him at the top.
