One Piece Jump Festa 2025: What to Expect?
Jump Festa 2025 will be held soon. Here's what it says about One Piece:
Naturally, fans are invested in his growth and are amazed at how far he has come over the years. It's no surprise that fans are wondering what Zoro's final power-up will be. one piece Especially because the time to fight Dracula Mihawk is approaching.
Zoro's current power level is very impressive
- Zoro is an incredibly powerful combatant.
- Zoro has performed well against Lucci recently.
The Straw Hat Pirates are currently in Elbaf, and fans know that Zoro is one of the most reliable characters the weak crew can rely on. Elbaf is a battlefield, and the Straw Hats need strength to navigate the country successfully. This is why the importance of characters such as Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji is more important than anything else. It can be said that Zoro is one of the most powerful characters here. After what Zoro went through in Wano, his current level is very impressive. For those of you who don't remember, Zoro definitely got a major upgrade to his powers in Wano. There, he gained the power of a sword called Enma, which upgraded his Haki to the next level. Enma took Ryuoh out of his body and awakened the conqueror's Haki infusion.
Then I will become the king of hell! – Zoro
Zoro first demonstrated this power without realizing it during his battle with Kaido. Later, when Zoro fought King, he allowed the sword to suck up as much Ryuo as possible from his body, which allowed the blade to draw out his latent conqueror's Haki. Because Zoro's blade was coded as Conqueror's Haki and he was able to utilize the higher rank Armament Haki, he was able to fight King evenly. In fact, it could be said that once Zoro awakened his newfound powers, he overwhelmed the king in every way. It didn't take long for the battle with King to end, and as it did, fans knew that Zoro had now evolved to the next level. Zoro claimed to be the King of Hell, which was essentially one step closer to his dream.
Zoro continued to strengthen himself throughout the Egghead Arc. Fans saw him fight Lucci, and although this fight was rather flat and ended without a proper conclusion, Zoro was clearly the one who had the upper hand in the fight. Most importantly, fans got to see Zoro fight King of Hell style, and what was notable was that he didn't get too tired. This is because he only utilizes the Conqueror's Haki in certain important cases, and this allows Zoro to continue to preserve his Haki during long battles. This is definitely a step forward for Zoro, and while Oda doesn't emphasize it much, it's a huge step forward for him.
What is Zoro's ultimate power-up?
Zoro must become stronger to beat Mihawk
Zoro is now in Elbaf and will definitely become stronger here as well. This is especially true because Elbaf is a nation of warriors. Zoro knows he must emerge from this island stronger than ever and ready to take on Mihawk in battle. As things stand now, it will be difficult for Zoro to beat Mihawk. Zoro had a great fight with King, at least until he awakened the power of the Conqueror's Haki Infusion. However, despite this power, he was unable to make a significant breakthrough in the battle with Lucci, who was not as strong as Mihawk.
This shows that Zoro still has a long way to go. one piece Empower yourself in a big way.
My sword is much heavier than yours. – Zoro
The question remains as to how Zoro can strengthen himself. The answer lies in two ways. The first is to increase the efficiency of your hockey, and the second is to obtain new major power-ups.
Increased efficiency
In order for Zoro to fight Mihawk and solidify his position, he must first increase the effectiveness of the power he already possesses. This means that Zoro will need to brush up on the basic Haki types and their more advanced versions as well. Zoro's Observation Haki is okay, but definitely not the best. This will need to be greatly improved if you want to fight Dracule Mihawk, the man known as the Hawkeyes. Likewise, Zoro's powers do not allow him to inflict internal damage. If he wants to fight Mihawk and keep his power, he will have to train towards it and gain this power. Most importantly, Zoro needs to find a way to continue using Enma without actually dying.

One Piece's most important flashback may come from Elbaf.
An important flashback comes from Elbaf. This will be the main content of One Piece's final story.
As it stands, Zoro can only utilize Hell King style for a few minutes if he goes all out. If he overuses this form, he will eventually die. This is what Zoro claimed himself. He will have to find a balance somehow. Despite having Enma drain as much Ryuo as possible, he is still able to stand in the fight. This will be difficult for him, but Zoro will definitely have to figure out the answer to it and once he does it, he will definitely become as strong as a Marine Admiral. One Piece's Elbaf arc is likely to develop significantly by paying attention to these power-ups.
How will Zoro's final power-up fare against Mihawk?
Zoro will come into contact with Asura, the king of hell.
Increasing the effectiveness of Zoro's existing powers would be an important step in defeating Mihawk, but it is not enough. Zoro needs to get another power-up and this will definitely be his last power-up in One Piece. With this power-up, Zoro successfully defeats Mihawk and takes the title of the world's greatest swordsman. Additionally, this power-up will likely come from battles with Mihawk himself, which will likely take him to the next level.
As for what this power-up is, fans know that Zorro's left eye is a big mystery that Oda has intentionally kept hidden until now. In fact, Oda even hinted that Zoro's eyes were somewhat special to his mentor Watsuki. The mystery surrounding the eye is unknown at this point, but it's likely that the issue will be resolved in the coming years.
Doing so could allow Zoro's powers to connect with his demonic aura, and once this demonic aura is released, it's possible that Zoro will finally be able to tap into the true power of the Asura spirit that occasionally appears. This power would allow Zoro to potentially manifest the King of Hell's Nine Swords style, and with this greatest power, he would potentially be able to defeat Mihawk once and for all.
One Piece can be read via Viz Media. The series is officially available for fans to read for free through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date of One Piece 1134, the next chapter of One Piece, is scheduled for December 22, 2024.
