This article contains spoilers from One Piece‘s Final Saga.

Watching the final saga of *One Piece* unfold has been incredible – each new chapter just keeps raising the stakes! Right now, the story is focused on the Elbaf arc, and it’s truly captivating. The Straw Hat Pirates are now directly facing off against Imu and his Holy Knights, making this arc the most thrilling one yet. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the main battles play out, especially getting to witness Roronoa Zoro, the Straw Hats’ swordsman, in some seriously intense fights.

Zoro hasn’t faced any significant opponents in Elbaf yet, but that’s about to change. The island is now overrun with powerful forces – the Demon Army, the Holy Knights, and Saint Imu Nerona, who has seized control of Gunko. This creates numerous chances for Zoro to demonstrate his strength. Fans are especially excited about Zoro’s confirmed upcoming power boost, which will focus on mastering Conqueror’s Haki. While Zoro has used Conqueror’s Haki before, he hasn’t been able to control it effectively, so Elbaf will be the place where he finally unlocks its full potential.

Zoro Lacks Haki Control

  • Enma channels Haki for him
  • Zoro needs to learn independent Haki control

During the Elbaf arc, Zoro discovered he possesses Conqueror’s Haki. Gaban informed him of this ability, but also pointed out that Zoro is currently very unskilled with it, to the point where he doesn’t even realize when he’s using it.

Gaban believes that Haki’s full potential is unlocked only through complete mastery and control. This suggests that Zoro’s next major power increase in the Elbaf arc will likely focus on improving his control over Conqueror’s Haki, allowing him to use it effortlessly.

Zoro needs to master Conqueror’s Haki, learning to activate it whenever he chooses and use it to gather information about the immortals. Gaban explained that a specific application of this Haki is the only way to truly harm them, and Zoro must learn this technique quickly. This will prepare him to fight not only the Demon Army, but also potentially face powerful opponents like the Holy Knights and even Imu.

Zoro Will Have A Big Battle In Elbaf

Zoro is likely to face a major challenge in Elbaf, given his rare ability to wield Conqueror’s Haki. This power is essential for competing with powerful opponents like the Holy Knights, the Demon Army, and even Imu, meaning Zoro needs to be prepared for a tough fight. Current hints suggest his primary opponent in the Elbaf arc will be either Saint Sommers or Dorry.

The next chapter of One Piece, chapter 1163, will be released in two weeks on Sunday, October 26th. While it becomes available in Japan late Sunday night, most fans around the world will be able to read it on October 26th. You can find the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
