Roronoa Zoro stands as a formidable force within the ranks of the Straw Hat Pirates, being the initial member to join their crew. His journey towards mastery of the sword in the vast expanse of the One Piece world has been nothing short of remarkable. With each encounter, Zoro has proven his mettle, overcoming formidable adversaries such as Daz Bonez, Pica, and King.
Notably, in the unfolding saga of the Egghead Arc, Zoro’s prowess has transcended previous boundaries. He now possesses an enhanced strength that enables him to vanquish foes that once posed significant challenges to his former self.
His repertoire of deadly techniques has expanded, with Zoro mastering a multitude of lethal moves. What sets him apart is his rare ability to harness all three variations of Haki, a feat achieved by only a select few in the world.
Of particular note is Zoro’s recent attainment of advanced Conqueror’s Haki during the climactic events of the Wano Arc. This newfound power catapults him into strength previously uncharted, marking a profound evolution in his capabilities.
It is no coincidence that Zoro’s training regimen includes mentorship under Dracule Mihawk, renowned as the paramount swordsman in the world. Under Mihawk’s tutelage, Zoro has honed his skills to perfection, a fact evident in his triumphs over some of the most formidable adversaries within the One Piece universe.
Doflamingo and 9 Other One Piece Characters Zoro Could Beat In Egghead Island Arc
Here is a list of 10 characters from One Piece, Zoro could be right now.
10. Doflamingo
Doflamingo emerges as a formidable adversary in Luffy’s journey, boasting formidable strength that once positioned him to easily overpower Zoro prior to the events in Wano.
His mastery extends to all three forms of Haki, complemented by the formidable prowess bestowed upon him by his Devil Fruit, granting him control over strings with unparalleled precision and potency.
These threads, possessing remarkable resilience, possess the capacity to slice through flesh with unparalleled ease, akin to a knife through butter.
In the midst of the Dressrosa Arc, Zoro found himself unable to sever Doflamingo’s strings even with the augmentation of Armament Haki. However, with his newfound ability to infuse his blades with Conqueror’s Haki, the dynamics of their potential confrontation have likely undergone a significant shift.
Zoro now stands poised at a level of strength where he could inflict damage upon individuals of the caliber of Kaido, a Yonko whose resilience even Doflamingo failed to penetrate.
Should Doflamingo attempt to ensnare Zoro with his strings, the latter’s command of Conqueror’s Haki should furnish him with the means to break free from such constraints.
In this evolving power dynamics, Zoro’s ascendancy reflects a witness to his unwavering resolve and ceaseless pursuit of mastery, setting the stage for a confrontation that promises to be nothing short of monumental in the annals of One Piece lore.
9. Black Maria
Black Maria emerges as a formidable combatant among Kaido’s elite warriors, wielding the formidable power bestowed upon her by the Spider-Spider Fruit, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli.
This ancient fruit grants her the ability to metamorphose into a colossal arachnid, endowed with the capacity to produce adhesive webs of remarkable tenacity. Complementing this formidable arsenal is her mastery of Armament Haki, further amplifying her combat prowess.
During the tumultuous Onigashima Raid, Black Maria’s lethal capabilities posed a significant threat to Sanji, yet his steadfast adherence to his principles precluded a direct confrontation. However, the tide turned with the intervention of Nico Robin, whose tactical acumen proved instrumental in securing victory despite her lack of Haki proficiency.
In light of Zoro’s proficiency in infusing his swords with Armament Haki, the prospect of combating Black Maria’s ensnaring webs appears more feasible. Given Robin’s success in overcoming Black Maria’s defenses, it stands to reason that Zoro’s formidable swordsmanship, augmented by advanced Conqueror’s Haki, would present a formidable challenge to her resilience.
8. Jesus Burgess
Jesus Burgess, esteemed as one of the Ten Titanic Captains among the notorious Blackbeard Pirates, stands as a formidable presence bolstered by his innate prodigious physical strength.
However, with the acquisition of the formidable Strong-Strong Fruit, his capabilities have transcended mortal limitations, granting him superhuman might of unprecedented magnitude.
Witness to his newfound power is his ability to effortlessly hoist and hurl objects of considerable mass, a feat exemplified by his capacity to manipulate even small mountains with relative ease.
Nevertheless, it is pertinent to note that despite his formidable offensive capabilities, Jesus Burgess lacks the superhuman durability characteristic of certain adversaries within the One Piece universe.
Kaido, revered for possessing the most resilient body in the annals of One Piece, serves as a witness to the formidable challenges faced by adversaries seeking to breach his defenses. However, recent developments have seen Zoro’s ascension to a level of mastery where he can inflict tangible injury upon even the seemingly invincible Kaido, thereby underscoring the potency of his swordsmanship.
Drawing parallels, it stands to reason that Zoro’s formidable prowess would similarly enable him to penetrate the defenses of Jesus Burgess.
Despite the latter’s proficiency in Armament Haki, its efficacy was notably overshadowed by the overwhelming might of Sabo—a figure whose strength either marginally surpasses or is comparable to that of Zoro.
7. Charlotte Cracker
Charlotte Cracker, renowned as one of the formidable Sweet Commanders within the Big Mom Pirates, stands as a formidable force, distinguished as arguably the crew’s most adept swordsman. His formidable abilities stem from the consumption of the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants him mastery over the creation and manipulation of biscuits.
Employing this unique power, Cracker showcases his prowess by fashioning remarkably resilient biscuit soldiers, serving as stalwart guardians in battle.
Armed with his imposing double-edged sword, Pretzel, Cracker further enhances its cutting prowess with the infusion of Armament Haki, rendering it a formidable weapon of destruction.
Notably, Cracker’s proficiency in wielding Haki is exemplified by his ability to cleave through even the formidable Gear 4th transformation of Luffy—a feat that eluded even the likes of Doflamingo.
However, with the advent of advanced Conqueror’s Haki, Zoro’s potential reaches unprecedented heights. Theoretically, this newfound mastery positions Zoro to transcend even the formidable defenses of Luffy’s speculated Gear 5 form, thereby rendering him capable of shattering Cracker’s formidable sword and biscuit soldiers with a singular, devastating strike.
6. Charlotte Smoothie
As a distinguished Sweet Commander within the formidable ranks of the Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Smoothie commands respect as one of their most formidable assets.
Possessing a formidable skill set as a swordsman, her prowess is further amplified by the formidable capabilities bestowed upon her by the Wring-Wring Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This unique ability grants her the power to extract liquid from any entity or object at her whim.
Utilizing this innate power, Smoothie possesses the capability to imbue both her sword and physical form with the extracted liquid, thereby augmenting the potency of her attacks. Coupled with her adept utilization of Armament Haki, her combat repertoire is truly formidable, enabling her to confront adversaries with a bounty reaching a staggering 932 million berries.
However, despite her considerable prowess, the unparalleled mastery of advanced Conqueror’s Haki exhibited by Zoro elevates him to a league beyond her reach.
Just as he demonstrated his supremacy in a clash of wills against the formidable King, Zoro’s indomitable spirit and commanding presence would undoubtedly prevail in any encounter where their Haki were to intersect.
In the unfolding saga of conflict and conquest, Zoro’s ascendancy stands as a witness to his unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of strength. With each battle, he carves a path toward the pinnacle of mastery, reshaping the power dynamics within One Piece.
5. Jack
Jack, esteemed as one of Kaido’s illustrious All-Stars, occupies a prominent position within the hierarchy of the Beasts Pirates, distinguished as the first individual to boast a confirmed bounty exceeding 1 billion berries.
His formidable prowess is rooted in the consumption of the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, affording him the ability to undergo a transformative metamorphosis into the imposing stature of a mammoth, alongside the capacity to manifest a formidable hybrid amalgamation of human and mammoth attributes.
While proficient in the utilization of Armament Haki, Jack predominantly favors reliance upon the formidable capabilities bestowed upon him by his Devil Fruit during combat engagements. This preference is substantiated by the cataclysmic devastation wrought upon the tranquil isle of Zou at the behest of his mammoth form.
Notably, the ferocious skirmishes that ensued between Jack and the venerable samurai duo, Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi, bore witness to the formidable resilience of their adversaries.
However, it was only through the unleashing of their awe-inspiring Sulong transformations that they were able to secure victory over the indomitable All-Star.
In light of Zoro’s unparalleled strength and prowess, surpassing even the combined might of Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, the prospect of subduing Jack and severing the formidable bonds of his mammoth form appears eminently feasible.
As a stalwart beacon of unwavering resolve amidst the tumultuous seas, Zoro’s indomitable spirit serves as a harbinger of hope, promising to reshape the contours of power dynamics in One Piece with each stroke of his blade.
4. Eustass Kid
Eustass Kid, a prominent figure within the ranks of the Worst Generation alongside Zoro, boasts a formidable array of abilities that render him a force to be reckoned with on the tumultuous seas.
Possessing proficiency in all three forms of Haki, he stands as a formidable combatant bolstered by the formidable capabilities bestowed upon him by the Magnet-Magnet Fruit—a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit affording mastery over magnetic forces.
Recent developments within the Wano saw Kid ascend to newfound heights of notoriety following his pivotal role in the defeat of the formidable Big Mom, an achievement for which he garnered a staggering bounty reaching a formidable 3 billion berries.
However, it is pertinent to note that his success in this endeavor was facilitated by the collaborative efforts of Trafalgar D. Water Law, underscoring the necessity of strategic alliances amidst the crucible of conflict.
Under ordinary circumstances, Kid possesses the capability to counter the advances of a swordsman like Zoro by leveraging the magnetic forces at his disposal, thereby repelling sword attacks or even disarming adversaries through manipulation of their metallic weaponry.
Nevertheless, the indomitable prowess of Zoro is further magnified by his mastery of Haki, a formidable skill set enabling him to nullify the influence of Kid’s magnetic manipulations.
Notably, amidst the chaotic fracas of the Onigashima Raid, Kid’s formidable onslaughts proved ineffectual against the formidable resilience of Kaido. Conversely, Zoro emerged as a formidable contender capable of inflicting tangible harm upon the seemingly invincible Yonko—a witness to his unparalleled strength and unwavering determination.
3. Queen
Queen, esteemed as one of Kaido’s formidable commanders, occupies a distinguished position among the ranks of Zoan Devil Fruit users within the One Piece universe.
His mastery over the Brachiosaurus Zoan Devil Fruit grants him the ability to undergo a transformative metamorphosis into the imposing form of a Brachiosaurus, further augmented by the incorporation of cybernetic enhancements.
Harnessing the combined might of his Zoan abilities and cybernetic augmentations, Queen emerges as a formidable adversary capable of unleashing devastating attacks.
Notably, his formidable headbutt possesses sufficient potency to inflict tangible harm upon adversaries of considerable stature, exemplified by his capacity to elicit discomfort even in formidable figures such as Big Mom.
Furthermore, the integration of cybernetic components within Queen’s physiology affords him the capability to unleash lethal lasers, rendering him a multifaceted threat in combat engagements.
Although overshadowed by the formidable prowess of King, Queen nevertheless commands considerable respect as one of Kaido’s most stalwart allies.
In light of Zoro’s ascension to newfound heights of power, marked by his mastery of Conqueror’s Haki, the prospect of a confrontation between the two emerges as a distinct possibility.
If Sanji, propelled by his superhuman genetic heritage, was able to prevail over Queen in battle, then it stands to reason that Zoro, armed with the formidable capabilities bestowed upon him by Conqueror’s Haki, would similarly possess the means to vanquish this formidable adversary.
2. Admiral Fujitora
Admiral Fujitora, despite his visual impairment, stands as a formidable force on the battlefield, renowned for his mastery of the sword and unparalleled proficiency in Observation Haki. His adept swordsmanship enables him to effortlessly parry and counter Luffy’s lightning-fast assaults, while his Haki-infused slashes serve to keep adversaries on the defensive.
In the tumultuous battleground of the Wano Arc, Zoro’s burgeoning prowess sees him engage Fujitora in combat on equal footing. However, with the acquisition of advanced Conqueror’s Haki during the Egghead Arc, Zoro gains a significant advantage in this clash of titans.
Theoretically, the newfound mastery of Conqueror’s Haki affords Zoro the capability to neutralize Fujitora’s formidable Press-Press Fruit abilities. Fujitora’s manipulation of gravitational forces could potentially render Zoro vulnerable, yet with the intervention of Conqueror’s Haki, Zoro possesses the means to negate this advantage and level the playing field.
Notably, Fujitora’s ability to call forth meteors from the celestial heavens poses a formidable threat. However, Zoro’s indomitable swordsmanship, empowered by his mastery of Haki, equips him with the capability to slice through such cataclysmic projectiles with unmatched precision and potency.
1. Admiral Ryokugyu
Admiral Ryokugyu, heralded by his long-awaited debut at the conclusion of the Wano Arc, emerged as a formidable force to be reckoned with, swiftly dispatching the remnants of the Beast Pirates, including the formidable King and Queen.
His formidable abilities stem from the acquisition of the Woods-Woods Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that affords him mastery over the manipulation of plant life.
Unlike traditional Logia abilities, the Woods-Woods Fruit does not bestow upon its user any form of intangibility, rendering Ryokugyu susceptible to physical attacks such as Zoro’s formidable swordsmanship.
Ryokugyu’s reluctance to set foot in Wano, attributed to the looming presence of Kaido, implies a degree of apprehension or acknowledgment of the former Yonko’s formidable might. This inference suggests that Ryokugyu may not possess the same level of power or stature as Kaido.
Moreover, the inherent capabilities of advanced Haki serve as a natural countermeasure against Logia-type Devil Fruit users. Ryokugyu’s evident trepidation in the face of Conqueror’s Haki, as demonstrated by his hasty retreat upon sensing Shanks’ Haki from a considerable distance, underscores the potency of this formidable ability.
