An epic fight between Zoro and King was long coming but when the clash finally happened things took a turn very quickly. King, despite being weaker than Zoro had an upper hand throughout the clash. The reason was the latter’s sword, Enma, going against his will. 

Eventually, Zoro was successful in achieving better control over Enma, his sword. Then, it allowed him to channel both Conqueror’s Haki and Ryou. Things took a big turn as King was no longer capable of taking Zoro down.


9) The battle between The Scabbards and Kaido

After holding back for almost 20 years, The Scabbards finally got a chance to face Kaido in a massive battle and try to take him down. The fight between them was definitely an interesting watch. It is definitely commendable that the Scabbards were able to face and deliver some fierce blows at Kaido, thanks to their incredible teamwork. 

The Paradise Totsuka was a brilliant follow-up they used, the Oden two-sword style attack that was definitely a hard hit for Kaido. But there was never a chance for the Scabbards to defeat him in a battle, so they failed eventually. Nonetheless, they did show up with a great fight, and also a fun battle to watch. 


8) Blackbeard defeats Ace

Ace was in search of Blackbeard for a really long time, and he was able to finally face the latter in a fight at Banaro Island in the Grand Line. Both of them went all in for the battle and portrayed their massive abilities. It was also a thrilling watch for the viewers since they got a sight of Blackbeard’s and Ace’s Devil Fruits’ abilities, Yami Yami no Mi and Mera Mera no Mi. 

Ace did not hold back and attacked with all the power he had, which definitely injured Blackbeard quite a bit. However, the latter was of a much higher level to be defeated. Ace finally lost in the face-off with Blackbeard, which led to the Summit War of Marineford, the biggest war in One Piece


7) Duel between Sanji and Queen

Sanji had one of his greatest fights against Queen the Plague during the Wano Country arc, his first after Enies Lobby. The latter was worth 1.32 billion berries, and it did not seem too difficult for Sanji to defeat him in the fight. But what made it more interesting was Sanji’s Past. 

This fight triggered the hidden powers of the Vinmoke Family in Sanji, due to which he started questioning his humanity. As time went by, he destroyed his Raid Suit and defeated Queen the Plague by himself. Sanji finally awakened Ifrit Jambe against her, and it just took a few kicks to take her down.


6) Battle between Zoro and Mr.1

Zoro did have numerous fights in One Piece, but the best of all was in the Alabasta arc against Mr.1. The latter was a true match for his power, and Zoro gave his best and tried to cut across him in an initial attempt, but it went in vain. 

Zoro had to spend some time to understand that Mr.1 was at an advantage the whole time. The time for understanding resulted in him getting injured. Mr.1 used Breath Of All Things and turned his body into steel so the other couldn’t cut through. Eventually in the fight, Zoro learned how to cut through steel thereby finishing his battle against Mr.1 by cutting him apart.


5) Duel between Sanji and Luffy

Not all fights in One Piece are about defeating one another in a battle, and the duel between Sanji and Luffy is a true example. Fans don’t get to experience a wonderful fight in this one as it is all about the emotional weight it resonates. 

Saving and protecting his crewmates was a big weight in Sanji’s mind and the reason behind his duel with Luffy. The latter was capable of understanding the burden on Sanji’s mind, so he didn’t fight back against the latter, thereby leaving him covered in blood. Luffy withstood his attacks until the latter returned back to join the crew again.


4) Luffy’s victory against Katakuri

Luffy has been in a number of fights, but it is certain that his battle against Katakuri was definitely one of his biggest challenges. The former had to give everything he had to fight against Katakuri, and this fight was one of the best action sequences for One Piece fans. 

It was not anywhere near easy to defeat Katakuri, and he had to spend almost 12 hours in the mirror world getting beaten up enhancing his Observation Haki. This gave Luffy the ability to see the future. Finally, he used the power of snakeman combined with Observation Haki to face Katakuri and defeat him in the battle. 


3) Luffy defeats Lucci

One of the most difficult fights for Luffy can be seen in the Enies Lobby arc of One Piece, and it was against Lucci. He to take the latter down under any circumstances to save Robin. So, he had to use the very last drop of energy in his body to defeat Lucci. 

Even Luffy’s new power creations in Gear Second and Gear Third were not enough to face Lucci. This battle was generally a knock on death’s door for Luffy, but saving Robin gave him the ability to push his limits, ultimately defeating Lucci with a vicious Jet Gatling attack. 


2) Luffy’s victory against Usopp

The fight between Luffy and Usopp remains one of the most painful and emotional moments in the entire story of One Piece. Usopp has been in Luffy’s crew for a very long time, although quite painful but this fight was important for the latter to proceed forward. 

The fight between the two is not something that is impressive in regards to the battle itself, but the conveyance of pain and emotions to the viewers. Usopp did put on an impressive fight for Merry, but Luffy was left without any other choices and beat him.


1) Luffy’s legendary victory against Kaido

Luffy vs Kaido is one of the legendary fights in the history of One Piece. Luffy gave him a fair battle by showcasing his recently unveiled abilities. Initially, he was nowhere near defeating Kaido on the rooftop and was even put on the verge of death once.

The battle did showcase some of the hyper transformations, thereby being a visual treat for One Piece fans around the world. Luffy was able to awaken his Devil Fruit during this incredible action sequence, and finally release the power of Gear Fifth against him. He had a lot of responsibility and promises on his shoulders and put his life into the battle, finally being able to take Kaido down.
