The Unleashed Might of Zoro: Power Scaling in One Piece's Epic Conclusion

Zoro, the esteemed swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, holds immense sway as one of the most impactful characters in One Piece. His significance within the crew surpasses that of any other member, save for Luffy himself. Zoro was the inaugural addition to Luffy's crew, chosen for his remarkable prowess. In terms of sheer power, Zoro ranks among the finest in his field. Within the Straw Hat crew, he stands as the second mightiest member, second only to Luffy, harboring his own lofty aspirations.

With the passage of time, Zoro has steadily grown in strength, attaining an unparalleled level of power. Yet, his current might is still insufficient to fulfill both his personal dreams and Luffy's pursuit of becoming the Pirate King. Zoro must continue to deepen his well of strength, ultimately surging manyfold in his abilities by the series' conclusion.

Zoro's Current Strength

After training with Mihawk for two years during the timeskip, it became evident that the majority of Zoro's training focused on honing his Haki abilities. Tremendous progress was made in this area, resulting in Zoro surpassing his previous level of strength. The true test of his newfound power came during the Wano arc, where he engaged in battles against two Yonko and suffered severe injuries while falling short of his initial goal. Notably, he also faced off against King the Wildfire, one of Kaido's three right-hand men. Although Zoro initially struggled, he eventually awakened Conqueror's Haki and mastered its advanced application. This allowed him to fight King on equal ground and even overpower him. Zoro's dominance in the battle led him to proclaim himself the King of Hell. As a testament to his strength, Zoro was given a staggering bounty of 1.111 billion berries at the end of the Wano war. It is important to acknowledge that Zoro achieved this feat without perfect control over his Haki. Despite his current strength, Zoro is still in the process of refining his mastery over this power, continually striving to enhance his abilities. It is reasonable to assume that he has grown even stronger since his time in Wano.

It can be assumed that Zoro's current level of strength surpasses that of a typical Yonko First Mate. Zoro is undoubtedly more powerful than King and even rivals Katakuri. However, he must now strive to become even stronger. Evaluating his current power level is challenging, but if one were to guess, Zoro would likely fall somewhere between the strength of a Yonko First Mate and an Admiral. While Zoro can hold his own against an Admiral, defeating them would prove to be incredibly difficult for him at this moment. To achieve that, Zoro would need to further enhance his Haki control. With Zoro's power level established, fans can now eagerly anticipate the Final Saga of One Piece and envision the potential growth and culmination of Zoro's strength.

Zoro In The Final Saga

Zoro will undoubtedly face formidable adversaries in the Final Saga of One Piece. Presently, in the Egghead Island arc, Zoro has already squared off against some incredibly powerful foes. He initially engaged in battle with an awakened Kaku, who proved to be stronger than ever. However, Zoro effortlessly vanquished him without even unleashing his full power. Following this, Zoro then found himself confronting S-Hawk, Mihawk's seraphim and the world's mightiest swordsman. Despite not achieving any remarkable feats in the fight against S-Hawk, it is worth noting that Zoro held his own commendably.

During the Egghead Incident, Zoro engaged in a fierce battle against Rob Lucci. Both fighters displayed equal strength, with Zoro successfully holding his ground. Utilizing his full power, Zoro channeled Conqueror's Haki into his swords, evident in his King of Hell form. However, defeating Lucci would prove to be a challenging feat, especially considering Luffy's previous injuries inflicted upon him.

After his confrontation with Lucci, Zoro will face even stronger adversaries in the Final Saga. This includes formidable opponents like the Marine Admirals, who will play a significant role in the One Piece story. Zoro will undoubtedly exchange blows with these powerful Admirals, following in Luffy's footsteps after his recent victory against Kizaru. Whether it be any of the Admirals, Zoro is prepared to confront them, knowing that they too are skilled in swordsmanship, as witnessed by fans.

Kizaru wields a sword of light, while Fujitora possesses a conventional gravity-powered sword, and Green Bull possesses an unused sword. In the future, Zoro can confidently take on any of them. However, considering that Zoro has already exchanged blows with Fujitora, it is highly probable that he will be the opponent Zoro faces. Undoubtedly, this battle will pose a great challenge for him, as Fujitora is a formidable opponent with a Three Crowns bounty, equivalent to 3 billion berries. Zoro may not yet be on the same level, but he has always strived to grow stronger during his fights.

Zoro's End of Series Power Level

In the final arc of One Piece, Zoro's strength will surpass that of an Admiral. He must elevate himself to the level of a Yonko, specifically to defeat Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman. While Mihawk may not be as formidable as Shanks and other Yonko, Zoro will confront this formidable opponent and emerge victorious. By achieving this feat, Zoro will attain the same power as the Yonko, an accomplishment eagerly awaited by his supporters.

One Piece can now be read on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app, officially and for free, courtesy of Viz Media. However, fans should be aware that One Piece will be taking a break next week. Mark your calendars for October 29, 2023, as that's when the highly anticipated next chapter, One Piece 1096, will be released.
