Zoro is one of the most monstrous characters
in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of Luffy’s enemies?…provided
he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,

up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much

threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are

Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey

by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long

easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would

how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,

this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying

and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he

though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with

Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s

at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings

are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
his way through the biscuits with his elastic stomach. Zoro would not have this same advantage. He can eat - but not like Luffy. It’s just a question of whether he’d be
able to make it through Cracker’s super solid biscuit defenses. Now that he has Enma, he could definitely
cut through, but at the time of Whole Cake Island, I’m not sure he’d be able to take
out Cracker. And Zoro at during Whole Cake Island wouldn’t
have had future sight, either. Charlotte Katakuri is a crazy strong character
who ended up essentially drawing his match with Luffy as he gained a respect for the
Straw Hat captain. Now that Zoro’s been able to defeat King,
it’s likely that he’d be able to defeat the other top Yonkou Commander as well. However, I think Katakuri’s abilities would
prove more of a challenge for Zoro to overcome. King depended on using his ultra durable Lunarian
skin to tank Zoro’s attacks. However, Katakuri used a combination of future
sight predictions and moving his malleable mochi body out of the way of attacks to avoid
Luffy’s punches. Due to how sticky Katakuri’s mochi is, it’s
also possible that he could manage to disarm Zoro by having his swords stick in his mochi. This is a fight that would be great to see
someday, but now that Katakuri will likely be a Straw Hat ally, it’s definitely unlikely
that these two will ever clash. However, now that Zoro has awakened advanced
conqueror’s haki and was able to scar the ultra-durable Kaidou, Zoro could probably
even cut through Katakuri’s sticky mochi. The real question is whether he’d be fast
enough to beat Katakuri’s future sight. In this hypothetical battle of the Yonkou
first mates, though, we’d have to give it to current Zoro. Tanking the combined hits from Big Mom and
Kaidou means he’d be able to hold his own against any hit Katakuri could deliver while
waiting for his opening to cut down the Mochi Man. On Wano, though, things get a little better. Kaidou’s fodder underlings Urashima and
Holdem would be easily defeated, just as they were by Luffy. And now that he has a new power up in Enma,
Zoro’s become significantly stronger. He would be able to defeat Ulti since he was
able to defeat King, the strongest of the Flying Six. However, we saw how well Zoro does against
the two former Yonkou, Big Mom and Kaidou during Roof Piece. Sadly, these absolute units are just too much
for Zoro at this point. However, he did tap into advanced conqueror’s
haki and was able to wound Kaidou. That’s the most he was able to do during
the Battle of Onigashima, but what about Zoro at the end of the series. After all, there are plenty of Zoro Kills
Kaidou or ZKK One Piece theorists who were devastated that our favorite swordsman did
not land the finishing blow. By the end of the series, Zoro will be a second-in-command
worthy of the Pirate King, strong enough to even give monsters like Kaidou and Big Mom
a hard time. After all, as a distant descendant of Ryuma,
dragon slaying is in Zoro’s blood. When Oda revealed in an SBS that Zoro is in
fact a descendant from Wano and therefore is related to the legendary samurai whose
zombie he fought on Thriller Bark, it all but confirms that it’s Zoro’s destiny
to have the power to defeat dragons like Kaidou. After all, Ryuma was the star of Oda’s pre-One
Piece one shot manga, Wanted, in which the samurai slays a monstrous dragon. Oda’s no stranger to bringing back characters
we long suspected were dead, so if Kaidou ever crawls up out of that volcano while Luffy’s
busy with Imu, it’ll be up to Zoro to take him out. If Kaidou ever returns to face Zoro, he’ll
be ready, having mastered the power of Enma and perhaps even having created a black blade
of his very own. By the end of the series, it only makes sense
for the pirate king’s right hand to be yonkou level. And he’d better be strong enough to do so,
because it’s only a matter of time before he goes head to head with Dracule Mihawk:
the world’s greatest swordsman. Mihawk is such a formidable enemy that even
the insanely powerful Zoro is going to need a power boost before he’s able to take on
his mentor. Will he get a new sword even stronger than
Enma? Will he turn the Wado Ichimonji into a black
blade? Or will Oda surprise us all by giving our
favorite green haired swordsman the powers of a devil fruit? What devil fruit power up could possibly be
the perfect fit for Zoro? Well, you’re in luck because you can find
out in this video: [Points to What if Zoro ate a devil fruit?]Zoro is one of the most
monstrous characters in One Piece - but is he actually strong enough to beat most of
Luffy’s enemies?…provided he could find them first. Let’s put it to the test. Up first is Iron Mace Alvida…and…yeah,
I don’t think we even need to talk about this one. It’s a wash. And up next is Helmeppo. Again, no problem. If Zoro took out his dad, Axe Hand Morgan…Mr.
butt-chin is going to be no problem. Finally we get to a real threat: Mohji the
lion tamer and Richie…the lion. Just kidding! Zoro beat Buggy’s second in command, Cabaji,
even though he had a terrible stab wound. I’m pretty sure these guys are going to
be no problem for Zoro, just like they weren’t a problem for Luffy. But now we do have a real problem on our hands. Buggy. Buggy’s Chop-Chop fruit is a hard counter
to anything Zoro can do. And since this fight would be taking place
in the East Blue, haki is not a factor. No matter how much Zoro cuts Buggy up, he
would be completely unharmed. So in this match up, Zoro would actually just
be wrecked. Honestly, depending on whether Buggy has picked
up some haki skills, Zoro might not even be able to take him out *now* in the final saga. However, Zoro would absolutely stomp Captain
Kuro. Kuro is fast, but those claws are pretty much
swords and Zoro isn’t losing a sword battle to this clown…er…cat. With Don Krieg, we have to make a special
consideration: did Zoro still get obliterated by Mihawk right before this battle? And for the sake of discussion, we’re going
to say Zoro gets to fight these next antagonists without being mortally wounded / unconscious. At full strength, Zoro clears Don Krieg easy. It doesn’t matter how many toys Krieg has
- he’s not standing up to a good slash from Wado Ichimonji. It’s a similar story with Arlong - in the
story as it is, Zoro didn’t stand a chance because his wound from Mihawk reopened. However, even with this wound, he devastated
Hachi. Zoro’s reputation was so renowned that Arlong
actually thought the rest of the crew was working for him. Not only that, but when he saw how Zoro was
fighting even with a wound that should have killed him, Arlong saw him as enough of a
threat that he wanted to dispose of him right then and there. At full strength, Arlong wouldn’t stand
a chance against Zoro. However, Captain Smoker is a big logia-shaped
problem. Just like with Buggy, the swords simply are
not going to work here. So just like his captain, Zoro is useless
against Smoker at this point. Once again, the crew’s best bet is to flee
from Loguetown as fast as possible. Now, if the characters were to fight in the
current story, Smoker wouldn’t stand a chance now that Zoro has armament haki and can cut
logia devil fruit users. Now this Marine’s powers would just make
him a bigger target. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were a joke. They were trying their best to fight against
Luffy and Zoro while the two crewmates fought against each other. At most, they amounted to an annoying distraction. When it came time to take them out, they were
no problem at all - Zoro could take them one on one like he took out the rest of Whiskey
Peak. Mr. 3, the wax man would actually be a struggle. In the story as it was written, Zoro did get
trapped and immobilized by the wax. However, he was perfectly willing to cut off
his own legs in order to continue the battle. Luckily, Luffy showed up in time to save Zoro’s
legs, but even legless, Zoro would have cut Mr. 3 down. Wapol. Okay, Zoro takes it. Listen, Wapol was lucky Zoro slept through
most of Drum Island. Besides, since Wapol was threatening Chopper’s
home and according to the fandom, Zoro is pretty much Chopper’s dad, this fight would
be personal. No contest. Aaaand, we have another logia: Just like Smoker,
Crocodile is going to be intangible to Zoro’s sword strikes. He may have figured out how to cut steel during
his fight with Daz Bones, which does suggest Zoro tapped into armament haki. However, Zoro was barely clinging to life
by the end of that battle and I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t last nearly as long
against a warlord at this point in the story. Bellamy, on the other hand, still gets one
shot. Except instead of getting his lights punched
out, the dude would probably just get cut in half. As for the God of Lightning, Enel, well I
don’t have to think about that one too hard because Oda already showed us this fight. All it takes is a few lightning strikes to
take out our favorite swordsman. It’s hard to tell how Zoro’s current armament
haki would affect this fight. With metal swords being able to conduct electricity,
would his attacks just hurt him back? Maybe once Enel finally gets back from the
moon, we’ll see a rematch that will tell us how exactly this clash would play out. And now for Zoro’s most threatening opponent
yet. Foxy the Silver Fox. How can Zoro ever hope to contend with Foxy’s
slow-slow beam?? Nah, just kidding - Foxy’s getting cut up
easy. The only question is…would we get Afro Zoro? Sanji would have a field day with how much
he’d look like a Marimo. Kuzan is not getting cut up easy, though. Zoro at the end of Long Ring Long Land would
get flash frozen just like Luffy and Robin. Hell, current Zoro would have a hard time
against Aokiji. I know this is going to upset some of the
power scalers in the community, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say Zoro is
stronger than Usopp. And unlike Luffy who is filled with regret
at having to fight his crew mate, Zoro was cold as ice when it came to Usopp’s betrayal
and wouldn’t hesitate to wipe the floor with him. Franky would have a better shot than Usopp
- his cyborg body is durable, but as established in the Daz Bones fight, Zoro has no problem
cutting through steel. During Enies Lobby, Zoro was able to defeat
Kaku, who was a much stronger CP9 member than Blueno. Therefore, Blueno’s going down no matter
how many tekkais he pulls out. However, it’s doubtful that Zoro could have
taken on Rob Lucci during the Water 7 arc. It took everything Zoro had to defeat Kaku,
who’s significantly weaker than Lucci. Zoro would have put up a very good fight,
but in the end probably couldn’t have squeezed out a W. Thankfully, Egghead Island showed us just
how much Zoro grew throughout the timeskip and Wano by giving us the matchup we never
knew we needed. Lucci has grown enough to awaken his leopard
devil fruit, but Zoro has become the right-hand man of an Emperor of the Sea, powerful enough
to fight the strongest CP0 agents. Zoro totally could have defeated Gekko Moriah
in a one v one, though. After all, later on when nothing happened,
Zoro took on all the pain Luffy had experienced throughout the battle and was still standing. It really makes me wonder what it would be
like to get Nightmare Zoro, though. Okay, up next is St. Charloss…and hear me
out. Like obviously, *any* character could beat
this Celestial Dragon in a fight. However, I’m going to give Zoro a loss by
technicality here. After Bonney told him what’s up with trying
to get in the way of a Celestial Dragon, he took the hint. Unlike his captain, Zoro’s not quite stupid
enough to call down a Marine Admiral and the full force of the World Government on his
crew so we’re going to say he won’t get involved in this “fight” in the first
place. On the island of Amazon Lily, Luffy was thrust
into battle with Boa Hancock’s sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia. He overcame them by unlocking his conqueror’s
haki. Zoro would overcome them with swords. However, during the Impel Down prison break,
Zoro would not over Magellan with swords. Much like Luffy, he would get super poisoned. Also like Luffy, though, he has incredible
amounts of willpower, so he could probably survive thanks to Ivankov and live to fight
another day at Marineford. Where he, like Luffy, would obliterate Koby. Sorry, Koby - you’ve gotten real strong
and everything, but you’re not quite there yet pre-timeskip. Garp is not going to take the hit like he
did from his grandson, though - Zoro is getting Galaxy Fisted. After his two year recovery from that punch,
though, he’ll still be ready to one shot some Pacifistas at the Return to Sabaody. We also conveniently know how the fight with
Hody Jones would go because Zoro already fought him during the Fishman Island arc. Granted, he wasn’t on his overdose of Energy
Steroids yet, but even with that power up, Zoro had still defeated him underwater once
and could do it again. He could probably even beat him more effectively
than Luffy, since Luffy was a devil fruit user who had to deal with being in the ocean. And look out Caesar Clown, because unlike
with the other logia fruit users on this list, Zoro has armament haki now. It doesn’t matter how many weapons of mass
destruction Caesar has because the Wado Ichimonji is a bigger weapon of mass destruction. Early in the Dressrosas Coliseum battles,
Luffy one shots his future ally Hajrudin. So would Zoro. Don Chinjao, with his mastery of Conqueror’s
Haki, would be a much tougher battle. Since we don’t see Zoro use conqueror’s
haki until Wano, it’s uncertain when he unlocked this ability. However, I’m going to give Zoro the victory. I mean, if he beat Pica, I’m pretty sure
he can beat a pointy old man. Zoro would put up a solid fight against Donquixote
Doflamingo. After all, even Sanji was strong enough during
Dressrosa to earn a compliment from the most flamboyant Shichibukai. Sanji wasn’t enough to make Doflamingo sweat,
but the warlord did acknowledge his strength. If he thinks Sanji’s strong, then he’d
definitely be impressed with Zoro’s fighting ability. However, it took Gear 4 Luffy to be able to
overcome this monster. Sadly, Zoro isn’t taking out Doflamingo
at this stage. If Zoro wasn’t even able to cut up the strings
that made up the birdcage, I don’t think he has a chance against the warlord’s complete
devil fruit mastery, especially his awakening. What about current Zoro, though? Post-Wano Zoro would be a whole different
story. With the insane power of Enma, not only would
Zoro slice right through the bird cage like butter, he would slice right through Doflamingo
himself. Sure, Doflamingo has a lot of practice at
stitching himself back together with this string-string fruit, but he’s gonna have
to do it a whole lot faster if he wants to avoid getting diced by Zoro’s advanced conqueror’s
haki. At the end of Dressrosa, Luffy also clashed
briefly with Fujitora. While Fujitora is a likely candidate for a
late game Zoro opponent, Dressrosa Zoro would put up a good fight but would be ultimately
defeated if they finished the battle. We definitely want to see this match up now,
though. Now that Luffy is a Yonkou and the Straw Hats
are more directly fighting against the World Government, this is a fight that most fans
definitely want to see. Anime fans are simple creatures. We simply love it when guys fight with swords…and
meteors… Zoro having trouble with Doflamingo also doesn’t
bode well for him going up against Big Mom’s kids. Luffy was only able to defeat Cracker by eating
