Six Potential Zoro Battles After One Piece's Elbaf Arc, Ranked

A GameRant feature looks ahead to six major opponents Zoro could face after the Elbaf arc in One Piece. It notes that Zoro has grown strong enough to challenge Navy Admirals and that his goal is to surpass Dracule Mihawk. The list includes a possible rematch with Admiral Fujitora, whom Zoro previously encountered in Dressrosa.

Zoro serves as a core fighter for the Straw Hats and, with Sanji, forms one of the crew’s two wings supporting Luffy’s path to Pirate King. His ambition is to become history’s greatest swordsman, which requires eventually defeating Dracule Mihawk.

During Elbaf, the article says, Zoro gains proper command of Conqueror’s Haki, making him far more formidable afterward. That growth could position him against Marine Admirals, including Fujitora, whom he met in Dressrosa, and Blackbeard’s Shiryu, a swordsman empowered by the Suke Suke no Mi.
