Summary

One Pieceis currently in the Elbaf arc, and finally, things are getting more intense here in the Warland, as the greatest villain of the entire series, Imu, has finally shown up.

Zoro’s Most Recent Power-Up Gave Him Conqueror’s Haki

Fans know very well thatZoro is incredibly strong right now. He has a bounty of 1.111 billion berries on his head, and that alone makes him incredibly dangerous as a fighter. But, Zoro’s true strength isn’t accurately represented by his bounty. Zoro is actually strong enough to beat someone with a 1.39 billion berry bounty, such as King, and possibly even stronger enemies. He is not too far away from the level of the Admirals of theOne Pieceworld, and it won’t be long before he gets there. Perhaps, Elbaf is the arc where he’ll reach Admiral level for good, and he can achieve that with a new Power-Up.

Then I will become the King of Hell! — Zoro after beating King

For now,Zoro’s most recent Power-Upis his Conqueror’s Haki. Zoro gained Conqueror’s Haki in the Wano arc during his fight against King. After allowing Enma to drain his Haki without resistance and channeling it at full strength, Zoro was able to get stronger and even access his Conqueror’s Haki. With his new powers, he was able to surpass and defeat the likes of King. But, while this power is great, it isn’t enough.

Zoro Needs To Learn The Haki To Counter Immortality

Zoro Learning From Gaban Is Inevitable

If there’s one character who can helpthe Straw Hat Piratesgrow in Elbaf, it is Scopper Gaban. Right now, Gaban is in the Underworld after being thrown there by Gunko. Chopper went to rescue him, so fans should definitely remember that he’ll be very important soon, since he’s the one who can teach everyone to counter immortality. Sooner or later, Scopper Gaban will teach the Straw Hats to counter Immortality, and it won’t be long before Zoro picks up this power as well.

His attacks are doing damage. How did he do it? — Chopper upon seeing Gaban’s attacks

While some believe the counter to immortality is Conqueror’s Haki, that is likely to not be the case. Luffy already tried everything he had on this Elders, and by his own admission, nothing worked. The key to bypassing the immortality of the Holy Knights is to use a special Haki that targets the souls of the enemies.

Zoro’s Strength Will Be Next Level After Elbaf

OnceZoro learns to cut immortal beings, he will most likely go up against the likes of Dorry, and after beating such a strong monster, he will truly be ready to take on someone like Mihawk.
