I personally don't think Black Blade ~ overall power-level indicator. It could be haki + something related to the fulfilling the will of the blade/your ambition, or I don't know... hell, when you think about it, all the other top tier SM candidates kinda died before they could fulfill their perceived destiny. With the exceptions being Mihawk who is already WSS and done with life, and Ryuuma who protected Wano and died a legend, likely of old age.
Even if not for a Powrr level indicator.
It's a sign for " Peak of swordsmanship ".
It makes no sense to achieve it before the end of the series.
And luffy actual Dream isn't even PK , PK is a part of it. His actual dreams are blurred so far.
I'm not sure who Zoro's final opponent is. I used to think it might be an amped version of Venus, considering Venus is super old and might have history with Ryuuma, and could somehow create a narrative bridge of Zoro surpassing Ryuuma to become strongest SM of all time or something too.
But again, I don't know. Although it ain't gonna be Mihawk.
You're contradicting yourself here. Even with amped version of Nasujuro he still has no blackblade.
Ryuma himself a Black Blade user , if you're running parallels with Zoro , then it makes sense to why Mihawk should be the Final Opponent due to the only second person with Black blade along side Ryuma.
But again, I don't know. Although it ain't gonna be Mihawk.
Cool , it's a assumption from your side too.
I'll put my money on Mihawk as EoS fight for Zoro.
Also with Davy back Introduction. Anything is possible now.
Naah that's plain dumb shit coming from another sanji fan with diarrhea.
PK is tougher because it ain't a Solo goal. You achieving all that shit alone.
Mihawk even Commented on Luffy ability to turn enemy into Allies.
Roger bent to Whitebeard. , you need special crew mates and friends for that.
And then there's mihawk. No friends no Crew. Reached to the peak of " Swordsmanship ". Alone.
But Zoro defeating Mihawk on Lodestar Island or Laugh Tale before it's decide who achieves One Piece. It fits the narrative, has perfect placement, and would make so much sense, too... putting Mihawk fight in an arc where there's no one big bad villain with his big bad group.
For the n'th time. Defeating mihawk a black blade user who is also a Ryuma parallel another black blade user. Has to be the final Opponent.
