Future Events Which StrawHat will Face Shiryu (Poll Below)

[Gol D. Roger]

I just don't see how "make anything they touch invisible" a huge plus for a 1 v. 1 fight. It would just tell the other person, "dude, i am right here, even if you can't see me".

Well, I did not say he goes around making things invisible in the middle of the battle. I said he uses this ability to make his weapons and possibly attacks go invisible making him much harder to deal with than those in his general level of power. I think this will force Zoro to observe the surroundings better and will improve his COO in one way or another.

 

[KiriNigiri]

It'll be Zoro. Some things are just that obvious from the outset. Shiryu is the evil swordsman of the series, and is the antithesis of Zoro.

 

[Kurozumi D. Trussop]

Future SH Orochi

 

[CbShadow]

Zoro will face Shiryu. Their battle will be Zoro vs Mr. 1 2.0.

What I mean by that is, I believe Zoro will be stronger than Shiryu but he will have an incredibly difficult time defeating him because of his devil fruit.

For Zoro to beat Shiryu, Zoro will have to improve his CoO or learn some type of advance CoO. Kind of like how Zorro needed to learn CoA to defeat Mr.

Prior the rooftop feats, i would say zoro.
But it seems like zoro has gotten too strong too quickly in wano.
Even at his current powerscaling right now, which can range from somewhere between Marco and Fuji,
he should be able to take on Shiryu right now.

I guess what I am saying is zoro vs. shiryu can happen, but it won't be an extreme diff fight for zoro EOS.
It would be more of a fair fight to have sanji near EOS vs shiryu in terms of power level, but the issue is we can't find someone in BB crew near/higher than zoro's level besides BB himself.

Yeah, this.

After his unbelievable performance in Roof Piece, I just find it difficult how ultimate invisibility can threaten Zoro more than top tier fights. Hence, if Aokiji is really a part of BB's crew now, even if only to maintain a ruse, I'd rather see Zoro vs Aokiji, tbh.

Besides, Sanji vs Shiryu is not without its merits:

1. I do not see Sanji ever defeating a top tier solo, so I think the fight against BB pirates will be Sanji's first and maybe last 1-on-1 fight in the series. Even if I am not a fan of his, I acknowledge his relevancy to the SHs pre-TS and I would hate for his last solo fight to be against goofy looking Vasco instead of a cool looking villain like Shiryu.

2. Soloing Shiryu who is likely a YC1 makes it official for Sanji to be YC1 level. That is to say, I believe anyone hoping for Sanji to solo King and/or Queen this arc is in for an upset.

3. Sanji has personal history with the invisibility fruit even back when he was still with Germa. Facing it now that he is also an invisible man brings his story full circle.

4. Just like Wano provides a subversion with Zoro fighting the main opponent, Sanji vs Shiryu provides another subversion in the form of Sanji fighting a swordsman and not fighting a gag character.

LOL at people saying Zoro would be too strong for Shiryu. Remember, Blackbeard crew is growing at a rapid rate, it's not they're strong like the way they are currently, they will improve for the sake of plot advancing. EOS Shiryu would put up a good fight against EOS Zoro just like how EOS Teach would be a huge fight for Luffy.

 

[Law-sama]

Is this even a question?

Current Shiryu is most likely not that much weaker than EoS Shiryu who should give EoS Zoro around high difficulty more probably in my opinion.

I don't know about that, mate. Shiryu has yet to show a notable feat while Zoro...well, you read Roof Piece. Unless the story establishes that Shiryu is a threat to top tiers like Kaido or Big Mom the way Zoro is, buying Shiryu as a credible opponent for Zoro is pretty difficult to do.

Shiryu is that kind of swordsmen that Zoro hates the most. He's a swordsman that rely on dirty tricks and sneak attacks which is against Zoro's principles as a swordsman. Even if Zoro is stronger than Shiryu, he will try to use everything to keep Zoro down.

You mean like Foxy did against Luffy?

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Yeah.

 

[The White Crane]

Yeah.

Closest thing Zoro had to that kind of fight was the Skypiea Battle Royal.

Hella difficult to pull off.

 

[Marco]

Zoro. Shiryu will be >> Oden

Plus it'll train Zoro's CoO to more advanced level. This arc he'll max the CoA. Then advanced CoC vs an admiral? He'll be ready for Mihawk after that

Zoro learned how to fight against tough situations so normally he would not allow him to properly cheat.

 

[Zowo]

aokiji fights zoro
shyriu has nothing on current zoro

 

[vikas]

I guess brook. Zoro too OP for him.

 

[Blackbeard]

aokiji fights zoro
shyriu has nothing on current zoro

Aokiji and Shiryu aside, the way Kaido is huffing in your sig makes me worried about Teach himself tbh...

Shiryu also still have his invisible fruit so if he awaken it, he will be pretty much broken, like Shiryu can hit Zoro but Zoro can't hit Shiryu back so it will be a difficult fight for Zoro.
