Zoro vs. Luffy (no gear 4th)

[Diamond Ryan]

Can Zolo overcome Ruffy with Gear 4th restricted, or is Ruffy's haki too yuge? They'll fight in the Mirror World.

I'm inclined to think Zolo would win with Enma, but there's no way to say. Ruffy has future sight so just landing a hit would be difficult.

Idk what the mirror world is, but I think Zoro would win. He's almost always close to Luffy's max power and 4th gear is such a jump up from Luffy's normal form that I think Zoro has to be stronger than normal Luffy. Zoro hasn't gone all out yet, so can't say for sure.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Pretty much entirely assumptions at this point. Both are obviously significantly stronger than they were prior to their respective training on Wano, so comparing them is fairly pointless until we get a better reference of their power compared to each other. If it was pre-Wano though, I'd probably say Zoro's best abilities would trump Gear 3rd when considering Zoro considered that not impressive enough to solidify Luffy's rank as captain when in Fishman Island until Ruffy displayed Haoshoku Haki.

I'd say Zoro edges out Luffy. Mid to high difficulty. If he wants to be of a big relevancy in this war, I think his strength needs to be significantly above G3 Luffy. He still lags considerably behind G4 Luffy though.

I doubt Zoro could overcome the current level of Luffy's observation Haki at this point. Though we still don't have a damn clue about Zoro's true strength. He hasn't really been pushed to his limits since the time skip.
