Although Luffy is usually regarded as the strongest member of One Piece’s Straw Hat Crew, the swordsman Zoro deserves recognition as being consistently in second place. While his overall utility outside a fight is fairly low, during a fight, Zoro is one of the most menacing characters with one of the highest amounts of potential. Gearing up to fight the strongest swordsman in One Piece, Zoro will most likely be one of the most powerful characters by the end of the series.
