Elbaf arc in One Piece promises to be a turning point, especially for those who have followed Zoro since the saga's beginning. The Straw Hat Pirates' swordsman will finally have a concrete opportunity to reach a new level of strength.
Zoro awakens the King's Haki in Elbaf
According to recent information from chapter 1152 of the manga , Zoro possesses and will begin to master Conqueror's Haki . Until now, he had used this ability unconsciously. However, in Elbaf, he will be forced to control this power to face opponents such as the Holy Knights and even some of the Five Elders. This development isn't just expected by fans—it's been directly confirmed by Oda.
Although Zoro has shown signs of this power in Wano, he has never fully controlled it. In Elbaf, facing severe battles, he will have to surpass his limits to remain alongside Luffy and the others in the Final War. Thus, his evolutionary trajectory will reach a new peak.
Zoro approaches Yonko level
As the plot progresses, the swordsman will begin to reach the level of the Emperors of the Sea. Soon, Zoro will reach the same level of power that Luffy demonstrated on the terrace during the battle against Kaido . This means that, post-Elbaf, he will even be able to share the skies with his opponents—a feat reserved only for the most powerful Haki users.
What's more, this new phase for Zoro also puts him on a direct path to facing Mihawk in the near future. After all, if you want to become the greatest swordsman in the world, you need to climb each step steadily—and Elbaf is undoubtedly the most decisive one so far.
