General & Others The Path to...

[Inspector_Mu]

if zoro was taking on more serious swordmen until he gets to mihawk like idk, kyros, vista, king, cracker, smoothie. but nope, he is taking on monet and hyozo to get ready to challenge mihawk lol.

The path to WSS :
Cabbaji, Mr 1 (no haki) ; That Enel fighter; Kaku; FodderFishman swordsman; Pica; Kamazou (Vet)...

Path to PK :
Crocodile; Enel; Blueno; Lucci ; Hody; Ceasar; Chinjao; Doffy; Cracker; Katakuri (top high tier) ...

Just Crocodule > alone is stronger than combine force of Zoro pre ts opponents. Katakuri alone is stronger than every zoro opponents combined.

We are 80% done in the story... and people wanna make believe being WSS is hard as even being Admiral/Emperor.

When luffy will be fighting top tiers and winning
Zoro is fighting high tiers...
This is why it is dumb to believe Zoro growth rate amd power is/will be close to luffy.
Luffy remains 2x above Zoro, he always fight opponents 2x/3x stronger than those zoro fights.

This is why Mihawk is 2x/1.5x weaker than Kaido, BM, Akainu and Teach : These 4 are luffy main top tier fights he will fight,
So they cant be below Zoro "probable " Top tier opponents: Fuji (,he is a tier below Akainu) and Mihawk (a tier/2 tiers below the 3 emperors and FA)

Teach>>>>Shiryu (that zoro will fight extreme diff)
Kaido/BM >>>Katakuri>=*King>>*Kyoushiro : *people zoro may fight extreme diff this arc.

Not forgetting Zoro might not even fight Posthawk
Just like luffy wont even fight shanks
(Both might die or get beaten offscreen)
Shanks and Mihawk were never peaks of the OP world. They were served as inspirations only.
Shanks is one tier below the 4 dudes I cited.

EoS Zoro > Mihawk = Kaido >>> Current Zoro with hypothetical Enma

 

[Shura]

write the full title of the thread dammit....hard to follow....

regarding thread......Kaido > EOS Zoro >=Shanks/Mihawk

 

[Inspector_Mu]

EoS Zoro > Mihawk = Kaido >>> Current Zoro with hypothetical Enma

Mihawk isnt strong as kaido
Forget it
Zoro wont be above kaido at EoS

Only 2 will be equal or above kaido : Luffy and Teach and maybe Kidd too

 

[Finalbeta]

Kaido > Shanks
Mihawk > Shanks

The former ain't a fact, the second almost. I think both must be near but any of the two can eventually be stronger.

 

[Zowo]

I mean we have an admiral swordsman and there is no stronger dude than mihawk stated in the vivrecard lmao not even shanks

 

[comrade]

"Crocodile is stronger than all of Zoro's pre TS opponents combined". Nope. Luffy would've no chance against Kaku at Alabasta. Mr. 1 was also a Machine. A body made of steel and blades. Zoro literally had to awaken the advanced form of Haki there.

Against Enel, Luffy had immunity.

Pica was basically a mountain which Zoro chopped down into bits and one shotted FBH Pica in base, easily.

WCI was centered around Luffy so of course he had more growth. We don't even know whether Luffy will beat Kaido alone. While Zoro will certainly beat King alone and be elevated to at least top high tier if not low top tier.

Garp: "Shanks is of equal level to the other Yonkos, including Whitebeard (also including Big Mom and Kaido)"

Vivre Card: "Mihawk is the WSS in both name and actuality, standing at the top and waiting for someone that has surpassed Shanks"

Oda: "imagine legends among men: Whitebeard, Shanks and Mihawk (...)

Ndule: "I don't care about facts"

I get you there might be considerable difference betwn PK Luffy n Emperor lvl EoS Zoro, like its already evident here from Current Luffy n Zoro. And i wouldn't disagree.

Bt Kaidou isn't 1.5/2x Mihawk, Luffy final opponent will be Im Sama, while Zoro might face an Admiral n thn Gorosie/ Mihawk. So Kaidou who's gonna fall so earlier than EoS , might still be comparable to Mihawk, that Zoro will beat EoS..

 

[Shura]

advanced form of Haki there.

Zoro will certainly beat King alone

why is it certain??

 

[comrade]

What's so funny? Zoro did to Mr. 1 what Hyogoro later described as Ryuo, an advanced form of Haki that allows you to extend your CoA beyond your body or weapon.

why is it certain??

Because it is pretty obvious that Zoro will beat any swordsman 1 on 1 on his journey. This is what he promised after the loss against Mihawk. he is going to be the WSS, he ain't gonna need help for King.

 

[Lampyris]

Would be nice if Zoro fought a ~YC3/4 character like Luffy before making the jump to King.
Other than that his road map looks predictable:

Zoro vs King ---> YC1 level
Zoro vs Shiryu --> YC1+ level (there seems to be a big chasm between YC1 and Admiral/Yonko so Shiryu wouldn't be a mere smidgen above King)
Zoro vs Fujitora --> lower Admiral level (below Aokiji, Akainu)
Zoro vs Mihawk --> Yonko level

Some people want to toss a twist in there like Shiryu killing Mihawk so Blackbeard has the WSS as his right hand man, just as Luffy wants. Can't say I see that happening.

Swap kizaru for fuji

If he fights King then no use of fighting and beating Shiryu at paradise Arc... we know he wont struggle much.

Kamazou (vet)> Kyoushiro (YC3) or Smoothie (YC2) > Shiryu (YC1) >Posthawk (low top tier) (if not offscreened)>FUJI (low yonko/admiral tier). Zoro will be mid top tier

 

[Cyrus the Cactus]

Why do people think Fujitora is going to be a legit antagonist for Zoro to beat? He’s clearly a good man who will most likely split from the WG when the truth of the Void Century comes to light. If Zoro fights an Admiral, it’ll most likely be Kizaru. Kizaru usually fights right hand men, and it’d be a reversal of how their initial encounter went.

Another thread about zoro ! :cheers:

A swordsman is the only one who wounded Kaido the WSC, the immortal, the n°1 by 95% of OP fans. so WSS is the strongest just imagine what he could do.

 

[Shura]

WSS is the strongest just imagine what he could do.

he just postpones...

and BB is the only one who wounded/scared Shanks....not the one with WSS who had "legendary" duels with Shanks

That said swordman is the only Top tier that fought Kaidou to death match with the fate of his country n family lying on his win. It is same as how WB was first losing to Akainu bt wreck shit n sent it to Earth core when Ace is killed by him.

On the said note, Mihawk already hinted the significant difference btwen WSS n PK, WSM twice at Baratie and in MF. And Jinbei hinted it between Yonkou n PK in WCI arc. BM hinted it when she had old WB as still the biggest threat in WCI arc. Sengoku hinted it at MF, when he was still unsure about Marine victory against an old sick WB with the entire Marine forces.

Only difference WB was old and sick while Kaido was around his 30's. Don't search excuse, none of them hurted kaido, fact.
