Predictions Future Wano's Fight Matchups

[Sachsenhesse]

Man we really need serious fights for adequate powerscaling do we?

The Scabbards were surprised that Zoro did accept and train with Enma, no one of those did try this. And Ashura Doji clashed briefly with Jack a YC. After Enmatraining, its safe to assume that Zoro is again on a higher level then when he singlehandly handled Killer and held back Hawkins. Two supernovas.

Sanji also gained an immense boost with the raidsuit. Both lack a real serious fight which pushes them to their limits post timeskip, so i really hope we see them fight. (And not only Luffy)

I dont believe there is such a big gap between the flying 6 and the YC of Kaidou( or atleast Jack). We have seen a similar thing also in Jokers crew, were some of the executives seem relativly on par with their subordinates.(Diamante i look at you) Or Big Moms Oven, Daifuku and that candyguy.

Adding up the fact Big Mom's Pirate joining, I hope it will be something like this

Straw Hats
Luffy vs one Numbers (to show his growth), then Kaidou
Zoro vs King
Sanji one shotting Page One and then vs Daifuku
Nami and Robin vs Compote, and then for a brief time confronting Big Mom
Usopp vs one Numbers (prior Skypiea arc, Usopp had bragged he can bring down the silhouette of Skypieans... maybe it is a foreshadow)
Chopper and Carrot vs Prospero, for Pedro
Franky vs one Numbers/Apoo?
Brook vs Smoothie ("you can't dehydrate me because I don't have any blood! Yohohoho!"), and then facing off Big Mom again (I need to see him calling young lady again)
Jimbei vs Queen

Nine Red Scabbards
Kin-emon vs Kanjurou, for good old times
Sulong Neko and Inu vs Jack
The rest of them can face Numbers

I really don't know what's in for Kidd and Law. I suspected they won't have many screen time. The last match up will be Luffy, Kidd, Law and I was hoping Drake and Hawkins would join them to take down Kaidou. That is the only logical reason a Yonkou would be taken down right?

As for Big Mom, she is an enigma. Too many variables can be played for her. Maybe she will remember what she'd done to Carmel and had redemption arc but that... would suck. There is the fact that she could be the key to link the plot to Elbaf.

Honestly, at this point I don't care who will face who. What I wish the most is the Straw Hats other than Luffy would fight with enough screen time, just like in Enies Lobby. Any match up would be fine, and I am not one to powerscale. New World does not give the Straw Hats proper time to shine their growths and since I expect they will be the only ones who enter Laugh Tale, I want to see how they are worthy.

I don't see Zoro facing King after his fights make him look bad a lot. Sanji has more great showing though and from looks of latest chapter Zoro vs Kanjuro and later Orochi is more likely.

Jimbei can face either Jack or Smoothie from more how writing leads to either. Nothing Make sense why Queen face him. Sanji could face him or King as possible opponents and you do know PO is defeated, right? He not worthy foe at all compare to YCs where Oda hyping potential to face them instead. Just saying.

 

[Sachsenhesse]

Bias aside.

The two persons we have seen train themselves were Zoro and Luffy. Even in the same chapter, so going by the rule of "Chekovs Gun", these two will play the biggest part in the endgame for this arc.

It would be a waste if we see:

Enma, a sword from Wano who injured Kaidou and belonged to Oden
Wadoichimonji, a sword from Wano, which is on Zoros side since the beginning and is foreshadowed to become a black blade
Zoro, who defeated and gained Wanos Hero respect + seems to be related to Wano anyway

without a important special role to play. I doubt Oda would give us all those hints and little backstorys without using it.

King would be an cool opponent for Zoro and his current powerlevel. But to be frank... with all this going on and the SH-Side having many powerhouses who can go toe to toe with YC, i doubt Zoro will get one.

So I kinda predict:

Law and Kidd vs. Big Mom

Luffy and Zoro vs. Kaidou.

Since we're basically about to get into it, I guess now is a good time to lock in predictions/thoughts. There's a lot of folks, so I'll just guess a few of the main ones I've been thinking about.

Luffy, Kidd, Law vs. Kaido
Maybe Hawkins, Drake, and Zoro will join in since they are also Supernova, but those first three are for sure going to fight him.

Zoro vs. King or Orochi
King is the first mate, so he's an obvious choice. However, I have a slight theory that Orochi's fruit makes him a pseudo immortal and his heads cannot be permanently cut off unless one uses the advanced forms of haki. So, I can see Zoro fighting him and developing that form of haki/mastering Enma. The fight shouldn't push him that hard, so that he could go to fight Kaido with this path and not be injured or tired since Orochi isn't particularly strong, just troublesome.

Sanji vs. Queen or King
We've had plenty of discussions on this already, but basically Queen is the 2nd ranked underling in Kaido's crew and Sanji usually takes them on. If not Queen, King has a similar moveset as Sanji and would make for a very interestingly choreographed fight.

Inu and Neko vs Jack
These two lost to Jack and he pretty much tortured both them and their people.

Jinbe vs. Smoothie
I explained my thoughts on this in the Power Level Thread, but mainly I think their abilities match up in an interesting way.

Carrot vs Perospero
Perospero is responsible for Pedro's death/sacrifice. She probably needs a bit more closure.

Kine'mon/Denjiro/Kawamatsu vs. Kanjuro
One of these Scabbards are fighitng Kanjuro, just don't know which one. Denjiro is an option, "traitor" vs traitor. Kanjuro threatened Hiyori, angering Kawamatsu. Kine'mon...don't know, just because.

 

[Monox D. I-Fly]

Nami VS Big Mom, because Zeus.

Even you forget about the rest of the Straw Hats getting fights! lol, just like Oda

Franky vs Biscuit (let's see if he can do what Uroge did and beat a YC level guy)
Chopper vs the leader of the Numbers
Usopp vs Unnamed Flying 6
Nami&Robin&Shinobu vs the ninja group

I'd put Kid and Law vs Big Mom. I want Luffy to fight Kaido alone.

 

[nik87]

Usopp vs Mont-d'Or

Eh, I honestly just got bored and stopped, lol.

But now that the Flying Six have more relevance and Kaido's son is a thing, we have more options.

The Swordsman of the Flying Six could end up being Zoro's opponent. Oda made sure the sword was clear in that tease, a lot of thought was put into the design of the scabbard, and they are leading the group. That sort of composition makes me think that they might be the strongest member.

The remaining 5 could easily be passed around among the Strawhats. We should probably get a better look at them before we can match them up though.

I think Franky might get a Number.

I didn't notice the sword, but you are right on that. Also may be a Brook opponent (i forgot about him too!). Also clearly a woman in that group, so Nami or Robin could fight her.

If Sanji and Zoro are taking on Flying 6 people, I'd like to see one of them fight 2vs1. I think Zoro did that way back before they even made it to the grand line. It's just a different type of fight that would be cool to see one of the strong SH's have to push through.

 

[HereNThere]

Brook is indeed an option. It crossed my mind, but Zoro usually gets first dibs.

Robin has actually fought nothing but men during her tenure as a Strawhat, so she's more likely to fight a dude here as well.

Nami though? Yeah, she's likely to fight the lady Flying 6.

Zoro and Sanji taking out two Flying 6 a piece would certainly be an interesting progression. It'd make match ups more unexpected, that's for sure.

 

[thedude]

I really should stop calling them the Flying 6. Official translation leaves it as Tobi Roppo, so that's the name i'll use.

In the end Drake is a wild card. I don't see him or Hawkins staying on Kaido's side. And then Apoo is coming as well. This is getting a bit overstuffed, lol.

Brook vs Apoo, revenge against the Long Arm tribe! Apoo's sound fruit vs Brooks soul music. I just talked myself into this one!

I remember when the first half of One Piece was finished and imagined if there's a Grand Battle-style fighting game based on the entire first half where each of the Straw Hats would unlock 1 Supernova which made the most sense of them:
Luffy would unlock Kidd (since Kidd was the only one surpassed Luffy in terms of bounty)
Zoro would unlock Killer (Luffy's first mate VS Kidd's first mate)
Nami would unlock Urouge (Sky Island native VS Sky Island weather technology)
Usopp would unlock Bege (showdown of their arsenals)
Sanji would unlock Bonney (good cook VS big eater)_
Chopper would unlock Law (fellow doctors)
Robin would unlock Hawkins (non-projectile long range fighter)
Franky would unlock Drake (wanted by Marine since child VS ex-marine)
Brook would unlock Apoo (for the quoted reason above)

 

[HereNThere]

I'm stopping this before it turns into the usual crap.

 

[Franz]

Certainly the presence of BMPs makes everything even more difficult than it already was.

I doubt that Oda will make them stay on the sidelines, if he has created this alliance they will have to do something.

Obviously not even the deployment of ours is complete, there are still Cat-vipers who could bring Marco and what remains of the WBP.

Luffy's Great Fleet could also play a vital role.

Not to mention the Navy if Drake continues his double game until the end.

 

[McNuss]

There are 8 Scabbards now after Kanjuro's betrayal. The Yamata-no-Orochi snake has eight heads. Hmm.....
