I am a fan of One Piece but I am still at episode 193 where Luffy beats Enel. But I had a discussion with some friends and they told me that Zoro could beat Hawk Eyes if they fought in the manga. So I want to hear your opinions.
When Luffy is as strong as Shanks, then Zoro will be as strong as MihawkSome day he will :nexus: Mihawk, though I don't think he's strong enough yet for that.
Since their last encounter, Zoro's skills have improved tremendously. Still I doubt he's strong enough at this point to defeat Mihawk, expecially because Mihawk hasn't been seen fighting really serious yet. Mihawk can go easily toe to toe with other Shichibukai like Crocodile (former member) and with Vista, WB 5th division commander. Not to mention he owned Das Bones in one slash, a person of which Zoro had to go through hell to defeat him (still by now that was also a long time ago). But above all Mihawk didn't had any problems with Luffy >.>
Zoro's extremely strong, but not yet strong enough for Mihawk.
