What Do You Think About the Zoro Vs Hawkins Clash?

I think the whole thing was only to introduce hawkins and his devil fruit again and maybe let kaido know that the strawhat already there, or hawkins kill those who would tell kaido and seeks an alliance with luffy. At least it is the first time they met so ,oda introduced them to each other that way. Neither had superior portrayal. The scene was very much a showcase of what hawkins can do. From his devil fruit finally properly being named, to turning his sword into straw, everything points to this being more of a showcase than a showing of feats between the two.

Zoro did not receive inferior portrayal here at all. I'm honestly baffled at both sides of the argument that I've seen since the chapter came out. People who try to defend, and the people shitting on zoro. What's there to defend? In what way was zoro shown to be inferior? Just total non sense from both ends. It was a showcase for hawkins. Nothing more, nothing less.


I liked zoro's performance more in this chapter than hawkins, granted that their clash is rather short. They both shined on their own right but perhaps, I am not just fond of how hawkins' ability work based on what we saw.. Tho of course, there's more of hawkins' ability to see than what the chapter has shown us. But zoro is just a beast. He doesn't have any magical gimmicks and his every attack could be fatal to hawkins. I am not saying zoro is indeed more powerful but I just have this impression that zoro would deplete all of hawkins' life At the end of the day or two given his monstrous endurance and durability. Again, I am not just fond of how hawkins just sits there, receive and then transfer the damage he gets in last chapter. Unless the dolls he have within him is infinite. Haha. Or he has a trump card that will make his devil fruit ability Transfer all the damage he will get to the attacker themselves. Similar to akatsuki hidan's curse.
