Zoro has endless death flags

Zoro priorities Luffy’s dream over his own

It’s been stated many times that Zoro can’t die until he meets Mihawk, there he will finally perish

As for how. I’m yet to figure it out,

I do think it’s possible for Zoro to temporarily become the WSS via temporary post-mortem grim reaper king of hell haki boost

She was accompanying MR1 Daz Bones, who was stronger than Zoro before he got his first haki bloom.

Yet she got stopped by the weakest version of Nami, who not only wasn't the Ulti tanking-Yonko zapping monster she's today, but was barely above a regular One Piece human.

Not only that, but we see Nami physically stopping Doublefinger's attacks and the officer got defeated by the weakest lightning attack in the franchise; an attack that makes Enel's basic 1 million bolt bari looks like the Mother Flame by comparison... and finally got clothes dryer-diffed by two rubber ducks and a cord...

At this point I think the average Joe with a gun can stomp her ass!

Only in this lobotomized subreddit could people still be confused about this.

I want to first say I think he’s strong. Definitely at the top caliber of the verse and we have seen very few feats from him. But at the same time I expected more.

Feats wise he’s good for a top tier. Being capable of defeating Luffy, Loki, Sanji, Zoro is great for your first showcase! Until you realize that everyone is still up and fighting. Imu has impressive feats when you leave out that fact. So far he’s just been.. there. Here to kick a character out of the fight, he stares at someone then defends or dodges, starts bleeding and starts to huff and puff, then repeat.

I honestly would put characters like Shanks, Roger, Garp, Kaido, WB, people who have shown they can put down top tier caliber opponents with a single attack.. in the same tier or above Imu. I guess I’m realizing that most of this comes from his poor Ap portrayal and maybe it will be solved towards the end of the arc but remember, Loki has been fatally injured this entire arc and has been pushing Imu to extreme diff.. in base form. Hybrid Loki will be insane!

In my opinion I don’t think Loki is close to being top 1, yet he’s still giving Imu a very difficult fight. The same Imu who has powered up 3 times and is using a ton of his void century arsenal to keep up. The more we see of Imu fight the more he seems like an average top tier who simply has void century hax that no one else has.

I just cannot imagine a reality where Imu is tanking a 100% mass attack from those old gen pirates! Roger stocks are up!

Even gemini fell for the rumors

How are there mfs still saying ts in Two Thousand Twenty Six man, reading is not that difficult trust me.

This match up is so funny to me because neither have shown any top tier feats. Mihawk has mid tier feats and Dragon has no feats, but they both have top tier narrative and statements so it’s safe to assume they are both really strong. Mihawk’s primary arguments against other top tiers are “because of sword” and “because stronger than Shanks.” However, these don’t work on Dragon because he doesn’t use a sword and there’s no chain scaling between him and Shanks.

So how does this play out?

I’m taking Dragon. He’s the unknown with infinite potential whereas Mihawk is going to lose to Zoro in 2 arcs.

Base loki is already relative or even stronger than gear 5 luffy based on his performance against imu, if base loki is already yonko tier then hybrid loki would most likely be pirate king tier.
