Summary
Roronoa Zoro is part of the Monster Trio of the Straw Hat Pirates. Ever since he joined the crew, he has had to face many powerful opponents, who have tested his strength.
Zoro is an expert swordsman who specializes in the three-sword style, but that doesn’t mean he can’t utilize other styles. He came across his biggest test in Wano, where he had to fight King, the right-hand man of Kaido. Currently, the crew is in Elbaf, and they might soon cross paths with the God’s Knights. If Zoro fights a member of the God’s Knights, his strength is bound to improve, and he will surpass manyOne Piececharacters.
5Vista
Affiliation: The Whitebeard Pirates
Vista used to be the Fifth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Like most members of the crew, Vista was fiercely loyal to Whitebeard, and he was willing to go to great lengths to serve his captain. Over the years, he had become one of Whitebeard’s most dependable underlings. Vista fights using two swords, and his skills have earned him a lot of renown.
Vista can use both Armament and Observation Haki. One might think that Vista is a pushover, but it is important to remember that he faced Mihawk and didn’t sustain any injuries. Not only that, but Dracule Mihawk acknowledged Vista as one of the finest swordsmen in the world. SinceVista traveled with the Whitebeard Pirates for decades, it is plausible to assume that he faced many noteworthy opponents. At the beginning of the series, Vista would have pummeled Zoro, but now the latter has surpassed him.
4Eustass Kid
Affiliation: The Kid Pirates
Eustass Kid is the captain of the Kid Pirates. He debuted in the Sabaody arc,along with several other Supernovas. He became a fan favorite the moment fans laid their eyes on him. Fans appreciated Kid’s style and his unique personality. In addition to his moxie, Kid has access to a powerful Devil Fruit and three Haki types.
Kid’s Jiki Jiki no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants him dominion over the magnetic forces of attraction and repulsion. Having fought so many characters, it’s hardly surprising that Eustass Kid awakened his Devil Fruit. In the Wano Country arc, Kid was stronger than Zoro, but the latter has theopportunity to overtake him after Elbaf.
3Trafalgar Law
Affiliation: The Heart Pirates
Trafalgar Law is one of the best side characters in One Piece. Since his childhood days, Law has had to face life-threatening situations, but he survived all of them, thanks to his close friends. He is one of the few non-Straw Hats to appear in multiple arcs, and it helped him win over the audience.
Trafalgar Law ate the Ope Ope no Mi, which has been called the Ultimate Devil Fruit. It grants him various abilities, such as creating ROOMs, damaging the internal organs of an individual, and taking out a person’s heart without killing them. Trafalgar Law was ahead of Zoro in Wano, but that might change soon, especially if the Straw Hat ends up mastering the use of Conqueror’s Haki in Elbaf.
2Yamato
Affiliation: Wano Country
Yamato is the child of Kaido. Like her father, Yamato is an absolute monster in combat who is capable of keeping up with the biggest names in One Piece. Kaido put her through a great deal of trauma as he believed it would benefit her.
Yamato atethe Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. The power holds a lot of significance as the creature is considered to be Wano’s guardian deity. Aside from her Devil Fruit, Yamato can also use three types of Haki. She specializes in Armament and Conqueror’s Haki. Yamato often combines the two to bolster the power of her attacks and deal more damage. Surpassing her will be a challenge for Zoro, but he will be able to pull it off as long as he masters Conqueror’s Haki.
1Sabo
Affiliation: The Revolutionary Army
Sabo is the right-hand man of Monkey D. Dragon. He joined the organization after Dragon rescued him from certain death. Shortly after joining the group. Sabo trained with all the big names, including Hack, Kuma, Ivankov, and Dragon. The arduous training helped Sabo improve his physical strength, allowing him to fight against the likes of Fujitora, a Navy Admiral.
Sabo possesses the Mera Mera no Mi,a Logia-type devil fruit that allows himto create and control fire at will. Despite eating the Devil Fruit rather recently, Sabo has learned to control its power. Moreover, he has access to Armament and Observation Haki. He used Armament Haki to create a distinct fighting style that targets the core of an opponent. Upon making contact, the victim is left with serious injuries. At the moment, Sabo is just above Zoro in terms of strength, but the Straw Hat can shorten the gap and maybe even supplant the revolutionary if he gains a power-up in Elbaf.
