Speculations Roronoa Arashi was killed by Mihawk

Also weaker than the scabbards = Fodder
Who says he's weaker than Scabbards? You? Lol

You do understand that it is pretty damn impressive that the Samurai from Wano are as strong as they are when they haven't had any external conflict in hundreds if years, right?

If Oden never met Whitebeard and went out to sea for 10 years, and fought strong opponents, and gained all that experience, he would have never gotten to the level that he did.

All the Samurai from Wano were stagnant from being conflict free for so long. Had any of them, especially Ushimaru, gone out and gained that kind of experience, they'd end up a hundred times stronger then they initially were, just like Oden did.

Nope in any case his father is roronoa
Thoug Even if zoro has Shimotsuki genes is not a 100% and it doesn't give him a body like vinsmokes for example
Yep, if the parents of his parents so on and so forth are connected to Ryuma, then he's direct, indirect would be if Zoro descended from Ryuma's brother/sister or cousin, which isn't the case, Zoro's grandmother is Ushimaru's sister.

The scabbards are called wano’s best samurai in the oden flashback, when he was alive

Wano was taken over for over 10 years before oden fought Kaido… remember… so the beast pirates and Kaido had been terrorizing Wano for 10 years while this bum was in power

This bum had 10 years to fight the beast pirates and get stronger and he didn’t…. Instead the scabbards ended up stronger than him so no, Ryuma genes didn’t do shit for him

Also where is his CoC? CoC can Ben unlocked from something as simple as 12 year old ace fighting a random bandit and yet Ushimaru went his whole life and 10 years under beast pirate occupation with no CoC… and yes we know he doesn’t have CoC because once again the scabbards witnessed Luffy using CoC and called it Oden’s technique meaning they had never witnessed anyone but Oden use CoC in all of wano

So the Ryuma genes didn’t activate at any point in this man’s life and never activated his CoC even after 10 years of Kaido oppression and he still ended up weaker than fucking Kin’emon

But you know, keep telling us about your headcanon

@SkySanji your argument falls apart when EVERY OTHER PERSON also connected to Ryuma is a weakling… you can talk about genes all you want but it stops mattering when literally hundreds of of other descendants are weaklings except one person

I don't care about your opinion buddy, Zoro is a direct descendant of Ryuma and objectively is stronger than your random person because of it.

Oh? So why is Kin’emon stronger than a random person yet Kin’emon is not the direct descendant of anyone strong?
Source? And I never said being the descendant of a strong person means you're 100% guaranteed to be strong yourself lmfao, but in the case of Zoro, he's Ryuma's twin, he has conquerors haki, he has insane toughness which Shimotsuki are famed for and he factually inherited sword skill from the Shimotsuki as it's directly stated in the manga that his swordsmanship is identical to Ushimaru's even though both never met each other and are separated by multiple generations lol.

People don’t “inherit” swordsmanship… That’s literally nonsense… Swordsmanship isn’t a heritable factor

Zoro’s swordsmanship is similar to the shimotsuki sword style because HE WAS TAUGHT BY A SHIMOTSUKI SWORD MASTER… Get it?

No, Kin’emon is not related to anyone strong, he’s from Wano a country where your entire family line is honored and very well maintained… If Kin’emon’s ancestor was a powerful samurai of the past, PEOPLE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT TODAY… They keep of track these things for hundreds of years

Ushimaru is Ryuma’s twin and he’s weaker than Kin’emon so again, what are you even talking about? And he doesn’t have CoC… and from the silhouettes Zoro’s father is also likely one of these Ryuma twins and yet he got stomped by random nobodies

Everything you say Zoro got from Ryuma is suddenly not present in everyone else but Zoro

It ain't no headcanon. It's a concrete fact that in order to grow stronger you need to gain experience, fight stronger opponents, and put yourself in extreme situations. No cope argument you try and spew is going to change that. It's written in the narrative, which you are blatantly ignoring.

Get out of here with that "he had 10 years to fight and get stronger" nonsense. Wano already lost to Kaido, and the only thing left for those who opposed the beast pirates was imprisonment and/or death. Both of which happened to Ushimaru, or did you forget that? He opposed Kaido once, got imprisoned. Opposed him a second time and was kiiled. I love how you make it seem like Kaido would have just let him continously fight for 10 years with no ramifications.

Regardless of what the Scabbards were called, Kawamatsu, a scabbard, praised Ushimaru for being a Master Swordsman, and mentioned Zoro being similar to him. So if Kawamatsu compared Zoro to Ushimaru, and you think Ushimaru is fodder.... Then..... :kuzanshut:

Bro is really crying about something being impossible in fiction even though we already know that DNA in One Piece carries things like skill and knowledge, hence the Seraphim having the skills of the Warlords they're cloned from, Zolo inherited those sword skills he has from his great-great granddaddy
:shame:
Post a panel saying none of Kin'emon's ancestors were strong:ihaha:

Ushimaru was really strong relatively, just because he wasn't sword god 2.0 doesn't mean he didn't benefit from being Ryuma's descendant like Zoro does.

Well yeah, that's one of the perks of being the MC's underling, he gets the major benefits of being Ryuma's descendant whereas most of the others don't.

What did Kawamatsu compare Zoro to Ushimaru? outside of resemblances, when did Kawamatsu say ushimaru is as strong as Zoro or vice versa

Also Kawamatsu is one of the WEAKER scabbards… so…

Your logic doesn’t even make sense. You’re saying there was nothing to do in Wano hence why the samurai were all weak compared to Oden yet at the same time you’re saying Ushimaru was supposed to be very strong

So which is it? Were the samurai weak or were they strong?

How come 5000 samurai defeated 40000 Beast pirates… You know the beast pirates… the guys who are notorious for being raiders and aggressive compared to other crews

These 5000 samurai were all the samurai who were imprisoned, malnutritioned and Swords were banned for 20 years in the flower capital so even the samurai who weren’t in prison had NEVER TOUCHED A SWORD IN 20 years

5000 untrained malnutrition’s samurai defeated 40000 raiding warring pirates and yet you are preaching to me that constant battle is what makes people strong?

The samurai have been isolated with no invaders for hundreds of years so the samurai are weak… but no actually ushimaru and the scabbards and Hyogoro and the daiymo and their vassals are actually strong and have been strong this whole time despite not being invaded… but no cut to 20 years later when everyone is malnourished and no one has touched a sword in 20 years and yet the samurai can defeat an army that has been in constant battles and raid around the new world and is 8 times their number… Yet even Luffy says “the samurai are strong”

See your logic? Any of this make sense?

@SkySanji he was weaker than the scabbards… The scabbards who do not have strong ancestry.,. or are you saying that they all secretly do

Again your idea about inheriting falls apart when THERE’S HUNDREDS OF DESCENDANTS AND THEY ARE ALL FODDER

The nigh-immediate hard pivot into Zorogenics debate is definitely funny but I feel like the plot has been lost a bit at this point. I think we should instead suggest more people who may have been killed by Mihawk and see if any come true. I'll start:
-Jarul and Jorul
-Some admiral from Sengoku's time.
-Any Roger Pirate whose status is currently unknown.
-Kaido (the volcano didn't get the job done; Mihawk was there.)
-Rocks (Mihawk was five at the time.)
-Blackbeard.

And the Scabbards aren't fodder, you're also inserting more headcanon, we have zero idea who the Scabbards ancestors were.

That's how genetics work lol, some people get the good ones and some the bad ones, that's why there are strong Shimotsuki like Ushimaru and fodder Shimotsuki like Yasuie, Zolo is lucky he's Luffy's underling and therefore has plot on his side otherwise he'd have been another Yasuie or Arashi who died against fodder pirates.

Lmao what are you talking about? YOU are the one calling them weak and fodder. I said they were strong, but could have been stronger had they had the same experiences of fighting and growing like Oden did.

No matter how much you try and twist things, growing stronger through hard fought fights is canonically a fact in One Piece.
