Elbaf arc in One Piece promises to be a turning point, especially for those who have followed Zoro since the beginning of the saga. The Straw Hat swordsman will finally have a real opportunity to reach a new level of strength.
Zoro awakens Conqueror'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 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 evolution is not only expected by fans—it was directly confirmed by Oda.
Although Zoro has already shown glimpses of this power in Wano, he has never fully controlled it. In Elbaf, facing severe battles, he will have to surpass his limits to stay by Luffy's side and the others in the Final War. Thus, his evolutionary path will reach a new peak.
Zoro is approaching Yonko level
As the plot progresses, the swordsman will begin to reach the level of the Emperors of the Sea. Soon, Zoro will be at the same level of power that Luffy demonstrated on the rooftop during the battle against Kaido . This means that, post-Elbaf, he may even be able to split the skies with his opponents—a feat reserved only for the most powerful Haki users.
Furthermore, this new phase of Zoro's story also puts him on a direct path to face Mihawk in the near future. After all, if he wants to become the world's greatest swordsman, he needs to climb each step steadily—and Elbaf is, without a doubt, the most crucial one so far.
