How do you know ?

before gear 2 gattling gun was the strongest move after that it was upgraded with jet, haki, fire, gear third etc.

Why wouldn't there be a stronger move ? There is always a stronger move. Luffy's finisher from 2 arcs ago won't be his strongest move.

Luffy has shown better feats of CoO than Zoro did, in fact Zoro has shown none. He also specializes in CoA and even of that haki he only used it once in a very tiny slash.

Luffy has shown so much more than Zoro did at this point.

It's Feats > Speculation at this point

How would Zoro deal with Elephant jet gatling coated in CoA ?
he would dodge that slowass attack obviously if not just 1080p luffys hands off.

the 3 laws of One Piece:
1. Luffy likes meat
2. Snowman is the strongest character
3. Luffy beats Zoro, Zoro beats Sanji



please do tell me when Luffy has gone all out?

this shouldn't even be an argument, if you don't think Luffy>Zoro reread OP, they never fight head on for real but from arc to arc there are subtle hints from Oda that Luffy is stronger

and Luffy's weakness aren't swords, he is as vulnerable to swords as Sanji is, or any normal human

luffy was weaker than zoro since the beginning and had to catch up unless you missed that. luffy has never done anything to suggest he is stronger than zoro.

I think he could. I think Oda did that on purpose. You know, having a second hand man, who legit, IS YOUR WEAKNESS and can beat you. Its all about the loyalty and trust. Cause Luffy can't use haki 24/7, so yeah, I think Zoro could beat Luffy. But never will try cause of his loyalty.
I am lauging so in other words, your saying Rayleigh>Roger, Vergo>Doflamingo and Backman>Shanks.

I don't buy it.

we literally saw sabo doing it few chapters ago

OT: luffy since just like zoro luffy hasnt gone all out yet people tend to think he has because he used g3 but fail to realize that Post TS uses G3 like it just another technique using it for random things and nothing else

by feats hes also greater

i dont think the gap is too wide but it not that close either. The gap between sanjij zoro and luffy would be like this imo

Luffy 100
Zoro 85
Sanji 70 (by feats since the ts he the lowest)
youre stupid I was responded to someone with a quote who said that luffy would get his hands cut off by saying "no armament haki can block swords." read before you respond and no luffy is not stronger than zoro.

You're right... I guess he didn't solo Oz, a foe the entire crew couldn't take down as well as the Island Buster Moriah who was waaaay stronger than Oz...

What? Luffy always fights the strongest enemy of an arc for a reason.

Without plot shield, Zoro wins extreme difficulty. Luffy already said his armament isn't great against cuting attacks and Zoro has one of the best cuting arsenal seen in this manga so far, and his attacks are really fast. His 1080 Pound Cannon was so fast Pica didn't even have time to switch inside his golem rock. Not to mention Zoro can implement armament in his flying slashes to increase their power

He could dodge Pica's attacks despite the environment advantage without even looking at him and talking to his crewmates, could see Hody's drop bullets even before it changed form, so it implies great reflexive speed and observation(just like Luffy). While Luffy dominates him in striking speed, he possess faster attacker with his flying slashes and his 1080 Pound cannon easily matched if not bested Luffy's Grizzly magnum(which is his strongest bazooka attack in G3) in terms of scale

he wasn't underwater when he did elephant gatling he was in an air bubble

His arms were in the water, which drains his power.

See the kraken fight

he would dodge that slowass attack obviously if not just 1080p luffys hands off.

Slow ? there are literally hundreds of attacks at jet speed gatling his way

Also there is no proof that Zoro can cut through haki, and Luffy has shown that he CAN use haki. Zoro never cut a single limb, so Luffy's fists won't be coming off.

luffy was weaker than zoro since the beginning and had to catch up unless you missed that. luffy has never done anything to suggest he is stronger than zoro.

Luffy was always stronger than Zoro, also in the beginning.

I have seen some people say Zoro can defeat Luffy if not for plot shield...i kinda think this is true since Luffy's weakness seems to be swords

So you guys think Zoro can pull it off?

Forgive me if i over rated Zoro...that scene with Pica is still fresh in my mind :sweat:



Zoro one shotted Hody Jones underwater. His power levels are unknown. 1080 pound phoenix did as much damage on Pika as Elephant Gun did

no he wasn't, neither of them showed signs that they were stronger than each other. they were pretty much equals up until luffy learned gear 2nd and 3rd, zoro even admits he was weaker than luffy during the luffy vs lucci fight.

It was evident way before that, during the Alabasta arc.

Luffy and Zoro hve a hair's margin btwn them but sly old Oda had Luffy state his armament wasnt so great vs cutting attacks and u think that was just talk to fill the conversation bubble its Oda's way of keeping them so close and muse over his fans calling each other idiots in a well set to b equal match up. Luffy vs Zoro depends on the day really its anyone's take.

Ashura may be a form of Haoshoku Haki. Zoros power levels are unknown. Fujitora even complimented his 'brutal' attack
