One Piece: Zoro vs Law

Spoiler alert! I think many people overestimate Zoro when it comes to power scaling. Zoro is very strong and there is no doubt about that but there seem to be a lot of people that think that Zoro is the second strongest supernova. Zoro would definitely lose to Kid since he can basically manipulate Zoro’s swords but right now, I am going to show why Zoro and Law are evenly matched.

Destructive Power

Zoro has pretty good feats so far. He was able to destroy Pica with mid difficulty. Monet pretty much stopped fighting because of the sheer fear that shook her when Zoro attacked her. Many people would place Zoro higher than Law for beating Pica without going all out but wait..Law did something similar in Punk Hazard. When he was up against Vergo, he managed to cut through Vergo’s arnament haki which seems to be way stronger than Pica’s and the damage that Law caused was way greater than anything that Zoro destroyed. It’s impressive that Zoro took out Pica but Law could do the same. Maybe even quicker. Law’s Shambles ability is pretty strong since he can remove someone’s body parts and objects by cutting them from a distance. Law does this very casually while Zoro needs to use his stronger attacks if he wishes to do so. When it comes to destructive power, I will definitely give this one a draw. Zoro is a power based fighter so this already means a lot.

Speed

Zoro is very fast and I think he can move faster than Law when it comes to movement speed. (Running) However, there is more we should look at. Law’s ability allows him to move faster since he can basically teleport. Law will defintely use his devil fruit ability so it’s inevitable. Zoro has to face someone who can teleport so I will give Law the speed advantage . I don’t believe Law will be able to defeat Zoro easily just because of this but it definitely gives Law an edge over Zoro. Zoro should still be able to block some of his attacks but how long will he be able to keep up?

Usage of Swords 

As both of them are swordsman they have incredible knowledge regarding this. Law uses Kikoku.. which is an curshed sword and Zoro uses three curshed swords which is incridible in it’s own. Laws fight style mostly is dependent on Swords. But Zoro is a master when it’s come to swords. So i will give this one to Zoro.

 Difference in overall strength

Law is better in many ways. He has many wide range moves that are difficult to avoid and he is more versatile than Zoro is. We have seen that Law has attacks that allow him to damage his opponent from the inside. Counter Shock is one of them. This is a move that is like a CPR but way more deadly. Law also got his Gamma Knife which was able to heavily injure Doflamingo. Doflamingo had the right power to deal with his internal wound but someone like Zoro wouldn’t be able to survive lethal blow like that. But we know Zoro’s edurance and how much he can take. Law also has his Scalpel move which allows him to take the heart of his opponent. Law is a very tricky fighter and since he managed to defeat Smoker with this move without sustaining any injuries, I can see a big difference between Law and Zoro. Zoro only relies on brute strength and he can definitely fight back since Zoro’s arnament haki is very powerful however, Law has many moves that ignore durability which is one of Zoro’s strong attributes. I believe Law takes it because the way he uses his powers is really efficient. His Gamma Knife is also used in a ‘Room’ that can’t be seen so he could surprise Zoro with this move and finish him.

(Law) Zoro will become the strongest swordsman..

There are many things that could be said about this argument that many people seem to use. First of all, Zoro will become the strongest swordsman but that doesn’t mean that he is above Law right now! We don’t know for sure what happens in the future. If Law dies before the story ends, it wouldn’t mean that Zoro was above him all that time. Secondly, I also believe that Law’s strongest skills are not really swordsmanship. Gamma Knife for example is not really swordsmanship. Law’s strongest assets are his devil fruit abilities. Zoro only uses his swords so his techniques definitely fall under swordsmanship. Zoro can become the strongest swordsman without being stronger than Law. Lastly, If Law does make it to the end of the One Piece story, do you really believe that Law will be below Zoro in terms of strength? We all know that Luffy resembles Roger. Roger had rivals like Garp and Whitebeard. This means that Luffy will also have rivals that are at least Yonko level. Law and Kid are some of Luffy’s greatest rivals right now and if Luffy is like Roger, people like Law are comparable to Whitebeard. Mihawk is not as strong as Whitebeard so even if we look at possible future events, it wouldn’t mean that Zoro is higher than Law in terms of strength at all. But will be. Law is a captain that is pretty close to Luffy and Zoro is and will always be under Luffy. I think Zoro is often overestimated. He is strong but we saw in Sabaody that Luffy, Law and Kid are the top supernovas of the Worst Generation. While guys like them will clash against the Yonko, Zoro will just fight against the top commanders which are of course not as strong as the Yonko.
