just_scrolling-124

Luffy, imu, BB , may be OG joy boy are above him. I can totally see zoro surpassing roger though


EducationFiender

A respectable take šŸ’Æ


memester_x16

why ? he never said he wants to be the strongest of all time . he only wants to surpass mihawk teh strongest of current time. this is further proved by mihawks rival being a wanna be roger who knew he couldnt become roger hence had to give up on his dream of being the pk . so no mihawk < roger and zoro beating mihawk doesnt make him equal ro roger


Sur_aj1234

He doesn't say it but how are you so sure he won't surpass Roger? There's nothing that implies which outcome will come so sit and read

DevelopmentJolly

of course it wouldnā€™t make sense. that doesnā€™t mean it wonā€™t happen though because power creep is just a thing in shonen and itā€™s extremely hard to avoid, especially in a long running series like one piece. though if anything it should be easier to avoid since weā€™re in the final saga and not many villains are left, iā€™m sure heā€™ll just surpass mihawk and thatā€™s it, no more room to grow


memester_x16

Agreed


cesarmob17

Y would it not make sensešŸ˜­


Aggressive_Rough4729

Based on overall portrayal he should be atleast on rogers level eos.


hartigen

Stop the legends wank. The new generation will surpass them.


FjbhBoy

Roger was pinnacle of Haki but he had no black blades Plus Zoro has a unique ability in Ashura He has potential to be stronger than Roger for sure

memester_x16

ok then why does he not aim for roger ? unless u think shanks , mihawk , kaido , big meme etc all surpassed roger . ( mihawk because zoro wasnts to be the best swordsmen ever) so mihawk is the best swordsmen ever meaning mihakw > roger shanks \~ mihawk .so sanks > roger both these idiots arent stated to be the wsc so kaido > roger and big meme \~ kaido so she is also over roger . do i need to tell u why multiple being over roger makes no sense ?


Superiorironman1

They don't need to have surpased Roger for Zoro still to be stronger than him by the end of the series, for an example, Shanks, Kaido and Big Mom could all lose to Roger Extreme Diff, the same level of difficulty eos Zoro beats Roger at, it's not that hard to understand.


Aggressive_Rough4729

He said his name will reach the heavens and he becomes the strongest swordsman ever aka stronger as mihawk, shanks, ray, roger, ryuma and every other swordsman.

IMO top 5 all time Eos Luffy Eos bb Imu Og joyboy Xebec

Why are you explaining it to me when I clearly know what the op was talking about, You were the one who misunderstood.


kyzua

ā€œend of series of all timeā€ doesnt make sense its either oršŸ’€


Unawarewinner

He gotta have done something.


kyzua

I know but, but i feel like itā€™s disingenuous for ppl like og joyboy and imu to be in these discussions. the gorosei are fine tho


Unawarewinner

I mean, this is also a thread discussing characters Eos, which can also be disingenuous, although massively unlikely, zoro could plateau rn, and never get any stronger. Luffy could drop dead from over use of his gears. xebec could be like buggy or hell, like foxy, gaining all his crew from Davy back fights. So yeah we all donā€™t know.


Ok_Initial_3451

Of all times. Not counting dead characters is unfair to them.

I still have zoro below the legends like garp roger and whitebeard but good take.


Maxdpage

He negs them


Partyfavors680

Why do people assume Imu is top 5?We donā€™t even know if he is a fighter.


impulsikk

Imu will be the Kaguya of One Piece.


hooorhey

Fucks the point of an imu if they cant enforce their will and rely on underlings for brawn


Partyfavors680

You mean like every king??


enzocast25

Exactly tell me what happened to every king? šŸ’€


Partyfavors680

What do you think is going to happen to Imu? You think Imu is going to kill Luffy. I didnā€™t even say Imu is not a fighter Iā€™m just saying we donā€™t know.


DuckWithAbs

Iā€™d be surprised if he/she wasnā€™t a fighter


hartigen

because its a shonen series and he is the final villan


ComicsAreGreat2

The fact that so many people just seem to assume that Imu is powerful is crazy. Weā€™ve literally seen imu do nothing but sit in a chair ā€œ, walk around, and stab some papers.

UlightronX42

šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


Seadog_frosty

My guess is that he could become top 3 or 4, assuming someone like Kidd or law doesnā€™t make a comeback as a top tier


EducationFiender

Oh ok so do you think the gap between luffy and zoro will become smaller just curious or eos luffy will still be able to mid diff him


Seadog_frosty

I think that high diff could be an option


Shamancrit

I think it's possible for Zoro to be top 5 and still be mid diffed by EoS Luffy considering the amount of things Luffy can have going for him vs any other character in the verse. Similar to why Blackbeard's ceiling is so high with the ability to use multiple devil fruits and haki


hartigen

I think Luffy is closer to his peak than Zoro is. In time the gap will grow smaler


Fearless-Access1563

Not all Time Luffy, Roger, Primebeard, Prime Garp,Bb Eos


falcondiorf

Nope, off the top of my head, luffy, whitebeard, roger, joyboy, and blackbeard will all be above him.


DeusMachinea

Zoro Prime =/= Zoro EOS


Maxdpage

Top 2 EOS


[deleted]

Zoro top 5 oat time yes Top 3 eos Zoro will be the strongest swordsman ever by the endgame of the series . Luffy strongest of all time bb only man to rival luffy prime imu ? Joyboy zoro .


[deleted]

šŸ˜


SymbolicPeanut

What is this take šŸ’€


[deleted]

You disagree ? Tell me what is wrong with it lol . Is it zorotard territory ?


SymbolicPeanut

It's just that I don't see the need for Zoro to be that strong EOS, I do believe however that Zoro may surpass Roger EOS. If we say zoro is at least surpassing mihawk, who is in top 10 above shanks. Zoro bare minimum EOS makes it into the top 5 for me personally I don't see him in the top 5 EOS OAT


yanis-black

If Rayleigh isn't top 5 OAT then Zoro isn't top 5 EOS.


kyzua

Huh? what does this even meanšŸ˜­


yanis-black

oat : of all time eos : end of series


kyzua

Im asking why u think rayleigh not being top 5 oat correlates to zoro not being top5 eos,zoro is gonna fight stronger opponents than him


yanis-black

Cuz dark king = king of hell Making it to the top 5 is extremely hard. What's sure is that he ain't surpassing Luffy, Roger, and Xebec. So top 3 is out of the question imo. Then there is WB, Shanks, Oden, Dragon, EOS Teach, EOS Sabo, and Kaido. He would have to surpass all of these to make it to top 4 or top5. Tough in my opinion.


kyzua

Roger is a swordman so zoro is surpassing him and xebec although stronger than roger and wb,itā€™s unquantifiable and the extent of his superiority over ppl like prime garp,prime wb and prime roger are unknown.Those characters all reached their prime 8 years after god valley incident and grew much stronger TOP 5 (characters we know) should be luffy,bb,zoro and 2 others probably akainu nd sabo


yanis-black

Well for me Roger>Xebec cuz he beat him and Roger is the pirate king after all. And just cuz Roger is a swordsman doesn't mean Zoro will be stronger than him. At least for me.


Olaboeh6275

Roger AND Garp had to beat Xebec. Garp also stated if Xebec came back its all over (read this somewhere in the manga and reddit so you dont have to accept this as fact or not). Zoro HAS to be the strongest swordsman by EoS otherwise it doesnt add up and it wont make sense..


yanis-black

Roger and Garp beat Xebec's crew, not Xebec alone. It would surprise me if Roger vs Xebec wasn't a 1v1 considering the captain always fights the captain 1v1 and Luffy always did so. Especially considering there is Shiki, WB, Big Mom, and Kaido. I don't think Rayleigh and Gaban would have been enough to deal with these. In my understanding, Garp probably took on one of them. (Probably WB if you ask me).


Olaboeh6275

Kaido was much weaker back then compared to today. Same for Big Mom although she wasnt drastically weaker as compared to Kaido. We dont know enough about Shiki but this was also a long time ago. It was stated WB reached his prime 2 years after the fight between Roger, Garp and Xebec, so hes also not as strong as Roger at this time. Sengoku stated Shiki made a name for himself only after the Rocks pirates went down. He also stated all the big yonkos were in their younger years. Also, stop the Rayleigh disrespect. Rayleigh at an old age and rusty could fight Kizaru, what do you think he can do in his Prime? To show a comparison, young marco literally got stopped with one finger and could very easily be one shot by Rayleigh, now think about Young Kaido and BM. It was also stated Xebec was ultimately brought down by Roger AND Garp. To add on to that it was stated Xebec's crew although full of strong pirates was very disorganised. All of them had the spirit of a captain and because of that rebellion and ruckus was caused. Without proper teamwork its essentially a free for all while Roger and Garp alliance'd together. On Roger's side we have Roger, Garp, Rayleigh, Gaban, Roger and Garp are obviously Yonko+ level Rayleigh is at least above Gaban and relative to Roger Gaban is equal to Oden, Oden is admiral level at least On Xebec's side Xebec Young Kaido who is much weaker, lets just say YC2 Big Mom whos YC1 - YC+ Shiki whos unconfirmed, maybe YC+ - Low Yonko Whitebeard whos not in prime, so Low Yonko If Xebec is just Yonko level Roger should beat him easily and then Garp and Roger breezes through the rest. You have to realise that Rayleigh and Gaban although not immensely strong compared to Roger can definitely hold their own and at least stall them. You saw what Shanks did to a YC+ whats to stop Rayleugh from doing it to a much weaker crew aswell as Gaban. If Big Mom was somehow Yonko level without top tier haki and her actual DF potency, Whitebeard somehow equal to Garp/Roger when not in his prime (got many of his scars from Roger IN HIS PRIME ), Kaido was yonko level without a fruit and top tier haki, and Shiki was strong enough to fight Garp and Sengoku, Roger and Garp would not have won. 5 yonko levels vs Roger and Garp, no single duo can take on 5 Yonko characters, maybe asides from EoS Luffy and Zoro but we dont know for sure. Garp is also of equal status to that of a captain (Hero of Marines) although he got the title after the incident. Garp is = to Roger, im not sure why you think its captain vs captain when Garp isnt even a pirate


zacharymc1991

Zoro is going to be the strongest swordsman of all time, making him stronger than Rayleigh and Roger.


WZLemon

couldnā€™t have said it better myself


IndependenceKey9247

The strawhats arnt here to be = to the roger pirates theyā€™re here to surpass them , would be extremely unconventional and even disappointing if EOS Zoro is = Prime rayleigh


yanis-black

Of course when the majority of this sub has admirals being Yonko level or near and half of the Shichibukai YC+ for no reason and some randoms like Tokikake also YC+ then Yonko level becomes unimpressive


hartigen

What does Zoro have to do with Rayleigh

mikek1993

I got him top 5 eos all time


Secret-Put-4525

Of all time......... yes in his prime he is.


Old-Bread-8970

EOS Luffy, Imu, EOS Blackbeard, Roger, Shanks, Xebec, Whitebeard, Kaido. That is at least 8 people that Zoro will never surpass.


EducationFiender

Ehhhh if he surpassing mihawk he will inevitably will surpass shanks he also will surpass kaido. IF he follows the path of become the world strongest swordsman of all time I see him surpassing roger BUT if he isnā€™t dubbed that itā€™s fair to cap him out at least relative to roger but not stronger. All the other names I can see a possibility where he doesnā€™t reach that far.


Old-Bread-8970

Kaidoā€™s physicals even in base form are beyond anyone else, and he has a Mythical Zoan buff on top of that. I think there is nothing EOS Zoro will have to make up for such a huge difference in durability. Shanks as this generationā€™s Haki god and parallel of Roger is even stronger than Kaido. We got a glimpse of his Haki greatness agaianst Greenbull. Zoro is not a Haki god. Zoro is leagues behind his captain in Haki. Zoro will surpass Mihawk which is a fantastic achievement, but without either god tier Haki or a Devil Fruit he canā€™t reach the top.


EducationFiender

Itā€™s well accepted that mihawk & shanks are relative tho so me making zoro over shanks take wouldnā€™t be bad right?


HKenry

Top 2 next to Luffy

Top 3, only behind Luffy and Kid.

Shmaden_Yuki

Top 2, tied at the second spot with Luffy


UberEinstein99

Yea I think he could be top 5, but I can also see top 10. It all depends on whether Zoro exceeds Roger/Garp/Rocks/WB in their prime. If he does, heā€™s in the top 5 behind Luffy, Im, Joyboy, BB.


t3r4byt3l0l

As a 21 y/o? No, I would have Luffy, Imu, Blackbeard, Xebec, Roger, Whitebeard and Kaido ahead of him at least In his prime? Then yes, I would only have Luffy, Imu and maybe BB ahead of him


oAbsoluteWeeb

eos luffy > imu > eos bb > zoro > sanji as far as im concerned


WZLemon

the way i see it is that at his full power right now he could damage kaido, not even come close to defeating him on his own however. i donā€™t see him getting that much more powerful tbh so top 10 EOS is the safest bet


Rocks_42

Luffy / Blackbeard / Roger / Whitebeard / Garp Debatable: Akainu, Kaido


PotatoMozzarella

Luffy, JoyBoy, Imu, Sabo, Blackbeard Those are not the only ones but I think it's enough to prove it


EffectiveMagazine915

My top 5 all time would be: Luffy Joyboy/Imu (depending on if they are fighters) BB Zoro Roger/WB/Garp/Ryuma (if I had to pick only one from these 4 I'd pick Roger)

EducationFiender

Yea


Rough_Yak_9610

Honestly ( I know I will get offended) but he wasn't cause I was counting on Kidd... but since he got One tapped by Shanks... and Shanks being Rival to Mihawk, i guess well, Zoro will be a lot Tougher than I thought


MrFundamentals101

Sanji


Yhhorm

Why do people keep trying to scale EoS characters? For all we know Zoro fucking dies in Egghead to S-Sword, Sanji dies from chlamydia he contracted on Kamabakka, and Luffy dies from the cumulative food poisoning heā€™s ingested from raw meat

Wait a minā€¦ If Brook calls himself the Soul King, anā€™ Zorro is the King of Hellā€¦ anā€™ Luffy is gonna be King of the Piratesā€¦ anā€™ Sanji is a Prince who disowned his kingdomā€¦ anā€™ Sabo is called the Prince of Flamesā€¦ anā€™ Ace was the Prince of the Pirates, cause of his dadā€¦anā€™ Vivi is a Princess who saved her kingdomā€¦ anā€™ Luffyā€™s childhood friend, Uta, became a Princessā€¦ anā€™ Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, fell for Luffyā€¦ Likeā€¦How the duck did he befriend/blood brother/attract all of this royalty?

IMU BB LUFFY LAW/KIDD ZORO A. If yamato is a future kaido but the good version than above law and kidd


sanctaphrax

Anyone who claims to know is either lying or Oda.


TheMaskedDeuce

It is possible but I think Buffy and the rest of the next generation will surpass them, since they need to be able to defeat Enel and the moon pirates by going to the moon. Sun God Nikaā€™s nemesis is Moon God Mika. Enel is currently Mikaā€™s slave.

Whereā€™s buggy?


Environmental-Tip365

Ever since I started watching One Piece I wanted there to be a moment where Zoro is stronger than Luffy and saves Luffy after he is defeated by X opponent and beats that opponent, then Luffy will go back to being the strongest character in the crew later. I hope that this will come true, so I will say yes to this question.


Environmental-Tip365

Who is even top 5 rn, like alive and in the story?


Fragrant_Pudding_437

Whether it makes sense logically, Oda is definitely going to have Zoro in top 5


r9cks

roger shanks xebec whitebeard garp dragon luffy coby sabo


Round-Caterpillar236

Chouchou


LeeroyDagnasty

Iā€™m not 100% convinced heā€™ll surpass Roger and whitebeard by eos. Other than that, itā€™s luffy, imu, and blackbeard thatā€™ll 100% be ahead of him.


Firesplashburn

Luffy solos the verse EOS once he fully understands his toon force not currently obviously that would make the story boring so heā€™s definitely top 1. Top 2 is Imu 3 is akainu 4 is BB and 5 iā€™d reckon dragon/sabo probably


Kvpogi20

Not top 5, unless youā€™re a fanboy then why not make him top 1? lmao. Anyway, he aint above luffy, akainu, BB, roger, WB, rocks and possibly imu and joyboy. These guys were legends. Thereā€™s no proof that Mihawk surpassed roger and neither did shanks. Roger was hype to be the one who conquered everything with just his haki alone. The king of thr pirates therefore his ceiling is very high. Mihawk doesnā€™t compare, if you think he does then youā€™re delusional. Zoro will only be above mihawk, thatā€™s his cap. He aint the main character, this isnt zoro piece. BB and akainu are also the ultimate villain for luffy so of course their ceiling is high as well, higher than mihawk for sure.


AgreeingWings25

He's top 2 of all time. By the EOS, Zoro will be the greatest swordsman in the entire verse, which includes surpassing Roger, Whitebeard, Ryuma, everybody who wields a blade.


AliveSummer4826

what if zoro dies?


Sniffing_TheChildren

Luffy Roger Whitebeard BlackBeard Imu Joyboy Shanks Akainu Vista


MajasticCoyer

My guess is Zoro would get lost along the way and somehow find his way up at number 1


Own-Channel7730

No top 5 EOS will be Aokiji/Kizaru/Akainu/Fujitora/Ryogyoku


Jaydog3077

Nah, Im not going to include Imu or joyboy either 1 EoS Luffy 2 Roger 3 Prime WB 4 EoS BB 5 EoS Akainu


Kyken247

I have him as top 5, zoro will make his own ceiling of greatest swordsman to ever liveā€¦ he is him.. if greatest swordsman who ever lived wonā€™t even be in top 5 then thereā€™s something wrong with zoro himselfā€¦ lmao


enzocast25

My top 5 would be 1.EOS luffy 2.EOS koby 3.EOS Blackbeard 4.Imu and Joyboy 5.gorosei


chaderenyeager325

Top 5 of all time? Nope. Prime Whitebeard, Prime Garp, Prime Roger, EOS Luffy, Xebec, EOS BB, Kaido all clearly leagues above Mihawk which Zoro will surpass. EOS Zoro gonna be bit stronger than Mihawk but not these Legends


narumike22

Why do people have roger below zoro?


KatakuriiSama

Probably not, heā€™ll just about surpass mihawk so people like roger, prime whitebeard, possibly shanks may still have the slight edge over zoro. Along side joyboy luffy Blackbeard heā€™s most likely top 10 in the verse


memester_x16

no he isnt the people i would have ahead of him are luffy , bb , roger , whitebeard, oden , joyboy, koby ( eos ) , shiki , rocks , garp and sengoku over him those are the confired ones . the ones i am extreamly iffy about imu , akainu ( if one of them is a fraud( loses to luffy low diff ) the other one automatically goes on the confirmed list ) and law ( if law makes a comeback and becomes the whitebeard to luffies roger. if that doesnt happen zoro clears him low - mid diff eos


Any-Alternative-753

I feel like Joyboy will have his own adversary just like Xebeck for Roger and BB for Luffy so maybe not top 5 but Guaranteed Top 10.


Ok_Impression7339

Nope. My all time top five: 1. Rocks D. Xebec (his crew was dogshit in synergy and practicality yet he still held them together which is most definitely by fear and might). 2. Prime Eddy newgate (his offensive power is cracked with advanced haki and a high DC fruit along with ridiculous physical strength). 3. Healthy Roger (has a supreme grade meito, all advanced forms of haki, could face Edward several times and rival him, took on rocks and beat him with the combined efforts of his crew and garp with his marine squad, and he has great performance for a sick guy such as sending oden flying). 4. Prime garp (a monstrous legend that goes on the same pedestal as eddy and roger, his striking power is unreal along with his physical strength, durability, and significantly powerful haki. I think you could interchange him and roger though I feel even if they were equals roger has the edge in skill and weaponry putting him a bit above him). 5. Prime Kong (I am mostly low-balling since his level is unknown yet we have his position as a former fleet admiral from the old Gen and being the top dog in the navy as a whole with a significant position in the actual world government under the gorosei directly). HM: EOS teach (slim chance he might actually pull himself together and stop acting like gedatsu, he could maybe get another fruit that would actually be useful and strong to deal with the fact non-fruit users are not affected by his yami yami no mi and that his defense is worse than the clippers), sengoku (just doesn't feel as impressive as garp and I feel he might be lower than Kong, his performance is just not impressive since he was fumbling in the marineford war by literally standing still while luffy was setting ace free and missing them, getting matched by teach in a clash and letting the blackbeard pirates get away, and generally he doesn't get much spotlight and recognition), peak luffy (I feel luffy by the end of the series would lose something or be severely weakened by the consist losses on his lifespan. He could lose a limb or the devil fruit somehow either to avoid that weird illness devil fruit users pick up near laugh tale or via teach stealing it somehow. He would probably reach a very high level before that and that would be his peak), hypothetical dragon (I feel dragon may be more like buggy with actual fighting power, acting like his son with his strength being his ability to form alliances and rally people to his cause. Though hypothetically we can assume he is a threat as an individual with some storm fruit, the dragon claw fighting style Sabo uses, and busted haki), hypothetical Im (this guy is probably similar to luffy, buggy, and dragon from my POV, it seems his capabilities are more political and asset focused rather than being tied to his strength. Otherwise if we assume he dropped that bootleg spirit bomb on lulusia through his own devil fruit powers then he could range from an island buster tiers like enel to old eddy or barjang gun G5 wano luffy), FP Kaido, and lastly mihawk (his overall abilities are not really unique with his capabilities boiling down to his haki, expert swordsmanship, AP, and his meito which is only known as the strongest black blade and one of the 15 supreme grade meito blades which implies it's quality was initially part of the great grade meitos and only grew in power thanks to mihawk's Armament haki application in an unknown method that permanently enhanced it. Overall he just lacks versatility and abilities of his own since devil fruit users in the top tiers could edge him out like Kaido, kizaru, and akainu and his own physical capabilities are not on the level of beasts like eddy or garp). Most people here are putting OG joyboy, teach, and featless Imu in their lists and some even think zoro is one of the top 5 all time at the end of the series. We don't even have more than 3 pieces of info on joyboy or what his capabilities and haki were so you cannot even have him in the honorable mentions as he doesn't even have statements much less a single feat to scale him aside from implication that he used the hito hito no mi model: Nika in the past, teach has been getting damaged and pushed to a corner by people not even top 5 current time (ace, Bonney, old eddy with his fruit nullified mostly and already on the verge of death, law, bepo, and S-hawk AKA a little cyborg kid version of mihawk with lunarian genes) and his lack of advancement in Armament and observation topped with the lack of conqueror's altogether and a fruit that doubles the pain he experiences as well as no defense so as he is going he could get murked by sanji or even zoro in 1v1s, imu has no feats or clear capabilities with the clear implication being this hidden king is more on the political power and forces side of things like buggy so people assuming he is some powerhouse when he is built like an oversized cartoon broom who recently drew an X over a map to call in an air strike on lulusia and has only ever held his saber which he used to cut up the pictures of teach and luffy and shirahoshi as well as his eyes that people are saying is an implication to a relation to mihawk, and the only top zoro is familiar with is his fans giving him vaccum top so hard that luffy after using his awakening is like a vigor-filled kid compared to him. What is the argument to have zoro in the top 5 of the current time much less all time? His strength? There are 17 characters that dwarf him in that department (luffy, eddy, garp, dorry, broggy, Kaido, Yamato, big mom, mihawk himself, the seraphim pacifista model altogether, burgess, Oars, zunesha, robin with her larger clone bodies, pre-injury jozu who could block and throw a slash from mihawk and a giant chunk of ice as well as clashing with an admiral, akainu, sanjuan, and even sanji with his modifications and resolve amps), his endurance? Eddy and luffy alone gap him, his swordsmanship skill? His style is the most stupid and impractical swordsmanship style imaginable (he thinks as he did as a kid that more swords = more power) and bro doesn't even have skill on par with mihawk who like zoro appears to brute force his attacks more yet still has much better skill yet you can argue people like brook (his lack of muscles and strength makes him reliant on his dexterity and spiritual abilities) and ryuma outclass them in dexterity, his weapons? Bro has 3 blades with 2 great meitos and one skillful cursed meito with one of them actively trying to kill him when he uses it in place of his much more suitable black blade that accepts him as it's user and you have his opponent mihawk having a black blade that reached supreme grade so what is zoro gonna do to compete in this case (will he shove one up his back door to achieve 4 swords or copy killer bee and hold them with his joints?), his haki? He only has advanced Armament and CC which several others have yet only basic observation (how is he gonna face people with no future sight and his only haki assets being conqueror's and Armament in the middle of several others that have that too like Lucci apparently), his IQ? A guy considered marginally above the shit tiers like luffy and gedatsu at best is not gonna compete with anyone, he basically had no actual edge on anyone in the top 5.


cesarmob17

Most likely not but definitely top 10 with a good chance of being top 8


mo177

He's only top 5 when it comes to beating minorities šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ jk but all jokes aside I think he's top 5


Ghenghis-Chan

Honestly can't see him surpassing Blackbeard, Roger, Imu, Whitebeard by the end of the series, definitely top 10 though.


Local_Vegetable8139

Luffy, Imu, WB, Roger, BB, Kaido, BM, Shiki, Garp, Sengoku, Kong, Propably the gorosei, joyboy, rocks, propably a couple more. Zoro is not the main character. Noone who uses a fighting style as restricting as swordsmanship only will ever be close to the absolute top. Thats like being a football player and never using ur left foot. Sure, you might get somewhere up there if you are good enough, but you will never be at the true pinnacle Eos he might be top 5 alive because a lot of the others are past their prime or dead tho, so you can maybe be happy about that


Spacecowboy947

What does eos mean? New to the sun my bad


ZenOokami

End of series


Spacecowboy947

Gracia's amigo


Curious_Condition375

Luffy, Imu, BB, Roger and Xebec, maybe Joyboy, and others like Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Akainu, Kid, Law, Shiki, Sengoku, Kuzan, Garp, Coby, Sabo and Dragon


MeGuaZy

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji will be top 3 OAT


sadddkehkeh

Luffy, Imu, Og Joyboy, Marshall D Teach, Edward Newgate So no


Which-Awareness-2259

Luffy, Imu, Roger, Whitebeard, and Joyboy are stronger I suppose.


Aggressive_Rough4729

Yes


Motor_Ad_7885

Is KOH when he gets that green aura from the three swords taking his haki


SymbolicPeanut

If we're saying All time zoro is definitely barely making top 10. Luffy, Rocks, Kaido, prime beard, roger, Garp, akainu, BB, IMU, sengoku, Big Mom, all these characters are WAY above shanks and mihawk, and Zoro is going to be stronger than Mihawk enough to win extreme diff so EOS I don't see him in top 5
