        Can Zoro beat Mihawk?

        Is the Pope Catholic?

        Yes.

          Thats a kinda tough one.
          I mean, we do have to take into consideration that Mihawk has been training too and further refining his techniques.

          Then again, if my memory serves me right, Mihawk said something along the lines of Zorro beating him someday.
          All in all, I think thats gonna be one helluva epic battle
          :silly:
          From which Zorro will emerge victorious.

          ❤btw, Mihawk looks like a Vampire❤

            Right now? Doubt it. He's only halfway through the Grand Line, afterall, which means he has much more challenging opponents coming up.

            Eventually? Well, it would be pretty stupid if he couldn't. It would ruin one of the main themes of the story! Obviously he will beat him later on.

            Now, though? I don't think so.

            Thanks to PirateNeko for the avatar!

              Well he wouldn't get terribly ass raped if he fought him again. But if Mihawk is indeed the top swordsman ever, then Zoro is far from his equal. One Piece is like half way done, so if Mihawk is his final fight then I guess we can assume Zoro is about half of Mihawk.

              Being a Pirate is not just about stealing, or the girls, or fighting with swords. It's about freedom mate.

                Zoro and the crew had enough trouble with a certain monster on Thriller Bark. I doubt Zoro would be able to do much against Mihawk just yet. Especially since we don't know if Mihawk has even gotten stronger or not.

                  Okay, a rather depressing thought crossed my mind, what if their fight ended as a draw?
                  With both dying?

                  :cwy::cwy::cwy::cwy:
                  :cwy::cwy::cwy::cwy:
                  :cwy::cwy::cwy::cwy:

                  Or if Zorro defeats Mihawk but then dies of his injuries?

                    Okay, that would suck, if they both ended up croaking.

                        When the time comes Zoro will flashback or bore him with a speech and then pull some new earth shattering attack from his behind.

                          What if Mi Hawk dies of old age before Zoro reaches him? Permanently securing his title 🙂

                            At this point in time, I don't think Zoro would fare particularly well against Mihawk. While he might not suffer crushing defeat as he did back at Baratie, if Zoro were to face him again without showing enough improvement to triumph, Mihawk might just kill him in disgust. Therefore, I don't see Zoro facing him just yet- even if they were to cross paths:

                            Mihawk: We meet again. Have you come for my title today?

                            Zoro: Nah, I was just about to take a nap.

                            Mihawk: What a coincidence, so was I.

                            Zoro: Zzz…

                            Mihawk: ZZZZZ….

                            Usopp: He even outdoes Zoro at snoring!

                            I'm like Hisotensoku: Not here to preserve peace, nor to destroy it. I certainly can't move mountains. Mostly, I'm just full of hot air.- Meh

                              Yeah, I can see what you're saying. I do hope they cross paths again before their fight if it ever happens.

                                Mihawk would have cut Oz in a blink of an eye. And Kuma wouldn't even mind standing in front of him.

                                  I'll compare them with points out of 10, imo.
                                  Mihawk.
                                  STRENGTH: 10
                                  SKILL: 10
                                  ENDURANCE: 9
                                  SWORD POWER: 10

                                  Zoro.
                                  STRENGTH: 7
                                  SKILL: 7
                                  ENDURANCE: 8
                                  SWORD POWER: 5

                                  Note that I'm comparing Zoro with Mihawk only.

                                  Yohohoho!

                                    Where did you pull those numbers out of? :wassat:

                                    oh right it says "imo". nvm go on.

                                    But why have you given them theese numbers? How can you even compare them? Mihawk didn't even fight seriously back then.
                                    And disregarding that I can't see how you can compare current Zoro to that and come up with those numbers.

                                        When the time comes Zoro will flashback or bore him with a speech and then pull some new earth shattering attack from his behind.

                                        Huh…I don't think Zoro's EVER done that in ANY of his fights...

                                          He'd put up a better fight than he did back in East Blue, but that's not saying much. Zoro has undoubtedly become stronger, but he's not there yet.

                                          The one thing Zoro has in his favor is that Mihawk really doesn't have anymore room to grow. His sparring partner was freaking Shanks for crying out loud. You could probably count the number of people that could give him a decent challenge on one hand. He's never been seen training, just sailing around sleeping or trying to amuse himself.

                                          Zoro will beat Mihawk when Luffy beats Shanks.

                                            You must not be very far in then.

                                              Well, since this thread is obviously going to continue. . .

                                              I think that Zoro has gained tremendous strength after nearly dying from Kuma's Pain Transfer. It's always when he's near death that he finds new strength within himself (see the battle against Mihawk, defeating Hacchi, defeating Mr. 1). His sheer will is what strengthens him, and after he recovers from the Pain Transfer (anyone else notice he took it relatively easy throughout the Flying Fish Riders story?), we're going to see Zoro own guys left and right.

                                              I think Zoro is ready to face Mihawk at this point. If not now, then I'd say that Zoro has one more guy to surpass before he's ready for Mihawk.

                                                He already beat Mihawk:

                                                Well… sort of... 😛

                                                But to be serious; No, Zoro would not beat Mihawk as of today. EoD.

                                                  Gerchak – spoiler that last comment, what you're talking about hasn't happened in the anime yet (Remember: This question is in the anime thread).

                                                  Ok, having said that ... regarding the most recent manga chapters:

                                                  ! > I think that Zoro has gained tremendous strength after nearly dying from Kuma's Pain Transfer. It's always when he's near death that he finds new strength within himself (see the battle against Mihawk, defeating Hacchi, defeating Mr. 1). His sheer will is what strengthens him, and after he recovers from the Pain Transfer (anyone else notice he took it relatively easy throughout the Flying Fish Riders story?), we're going to see Zoro own guys left and right.
                                                  ! I think it's too soon to say that Zoro has "gained tremendous strength after nearly dying from Kuma's Pain Transfer". So far, we've only seen him fall to his knees from a pain in his chest after fighting a minor opponent. Not something that most people would refer to as "gaining tremendous strength". But I think you'll be right in the long run – that going through that experience will have made him stronger eventually. But for now, he's nothing if not weaker than he was before, and in no condition to fight Mihawk.

                                                  Actually, I don't think his hardest fight will be against Mihawk. I think his hardest fight will be against Tashigi.

                                                  She may not be as strong as Mihawk, but she's got a huge psychological advantage over Zoro that Mihawk doesn't have. Zoro's psyched up to fight Mihawk. He's been preparing for it all his life. But just the sight of Tashigi can freak him out. Anyone who can blow Zoro's concentration that easily is a formidable opponent, regardless of strength or skill level. She's been travelling through the Grand Line too – presumably getting stronger. So she could even be close to his level when they meet again.

                                                    Yeah, what everyone else said. I think Zoro would last a minute or two at the most against Mihawk's real sword. I think he would probably at least be able to beat that little cross-dagger necklace, though.

                                                      Wow. I see a lot of you see it looking good for Zoro. I see it like this. At the beginning, Zoro used three swords to fight Mihawk who used a blade that would be good to use to peel an apple. He blocked all of the attacks with minimal effort and still won. He only used his actual sword twice. Once to break two swords, and the other to cut Zoro open and still, that was no where near a strong hit from Mihawk.

                                                      Also, Mihawk destroyed Krieg's entire Armada in a coffin shaped boat without getting a single injury. If Zoro was put into that position, he wouldn't make it. Neither could Zoro cut Krieg's galleon in half at this moment. So I still don't see him being anywhere close to him, really.

                                                          Well as seeing I believe that every character is going to continue to get stronger. Then no way in hell is he strong enough to beat Mihawk. He won't be strong enough until the end of the arc that is right before he fights Mihawk, because the fight will be close.

                                                          He ain't gonna just own him completely, he will be pulling all the stops and barely winning most likely, or else a fight similar to Ryuma but longer. Either way he will keep improving every arc that makes you think wow what a pimp he is becoming. Then thinking back to this arc you will realize how big a pussy he still was.

                                                          The only way he is strong enough is if they leave this island without any confrontation and before any other fights meet up with Mihawk and fight him.
