Lake Elbaf one piece The power level of Roronoa Zoro, the master swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, has increased significantly and he has been granted new abilities.

In One Piece's Elbaf, Roronoa Zoro finally discovered that he had access to the Conqueror's Haki, thanks to the Pirate King's left arm, Scoper Gavan. It was Gaban who told Zoro that he had access to the Conqueror's Haki and was actually particularly adept at using it very well. But surprisingly, Zoro was not aware from the beginning that he was holding this Haki. Oda emphasized through Gaban that the true power of Conqueror's Haki can only come after the user learns how to control it properly, paving the way for Zoro to become even stronger.

The fact that he is as strong as he is now without having full control of Haki means that Zoro will level up significantly in terms of strength once he learns how to fully manipulate the colors of the Great King. His recent battle with the demon army in Elbaf clearly shows that he has already achieved some mastery of this power, and has even used it to create new techniques.

The Six Paths Crossing is one of the most powerful techniques Zoro has in his arsenal since the time skip. This power was first utilized to cut off one of the tentacles of Tsurume, a giant kraken, on the way to Fishman Island. Since then, this technique has been occasionally relied upon, with Wado Ichimonji utilizing his sword to its absolute maximum being one of his most powerful techniques.

Now, in Elbaf Arc, Zoro has gained overwhelmingly powerful abilities by combining this technique with Conqueror's Haki. This allowed Zoro to take down multiple giant snapper reverse enemies with a single blow, a display of true brutality. This power is strong enough to blow away the majority of characters in the One Piece world with one blow, which is evidence of Zoro's manipulation of the Great King.

Perhaps this technique has seen use by the King of Hockey, but there was no real sign of lightning in this attack. In both cases, they are powerful enough to easily dispel powerful opponents and demonstrate Zoro's newfound control over Haki.

Measuring the threat level after Elbaf of the Hell King

It's clear that Zoro continues to grow in terms of power in the Elbaph Arc and will continue to grow in the final story that continues. His goal is to finally reach Dracule Mihawk's level and eventually defeat him, and to do that he must continue to evolve Haki. As he gains more control over the colors of the High King, he will invent new hockey-based abilities and develop skills that will allow him to reach the top of the world. After Elbaf, Zoro is guaranteed to be at the same level as the admiral and Yonko of the One Piece world, like Luffy's right hand, who is the core of the Straw Hat Pirates and aims to become the world's strongest swordsman.
