One Piece: Every Fight In Wano

The land of Wano served as the battleground for some of the most memorable fights in One Piece.

HIGHLIGHTS

 The Wano Country arc in One Piece anime is coming to an end.

One Piece anime is nearing the end of the Wano Country arc. The arc started airing in 2019, and it will finish with over a hundred episodes. The Straw Hats went to Wano in hopes of crushing Kaido and his Beasts Pirates.

The heroes were joined by several other characters who helped them take down the Yonko and his henchmen. While the plot of the arc is excellent, the duels in Wano are nothing to be scoffed at either. However, there is still a disparity in the quality of the fights, with some being better than the rest.

Updated on April 30th, 2024, by Suzail Ahmad: The Wano Country arc lived up to the hype. For years, fans were waiting to see what was going to happen in the arc, and when things finally unfolded, it was nothing short of marvelous. The Wano Country arc had a good balance between story and action. The fights in the arc were nothing short of amazing, and almost all of them were valuable to the plot. So, the list has been updated with some more fights that left fans wanting for more.

The list contains the best fights in Wano.

15Roronoa Zoro vs. Basil Hawkins

Winner: None

Another interesting fight in Wano saw Zoro take on Basik Hawkins. Since Hawkins was working for Kaido, it was his responsibility to stop Zoro and Luffy from causing problems. Most fans assumed that Zoro would stomp Hawkins, but that wasn’t the case.

Hawkins used his Wara Wara no Mi to try and stop Zoro. The latter was able to stand his ground and prevent Hawkins from completing his mission. There was no clear winner, but it is safe to say that Zoro was the more impressive of the two.

14Roronoa Zoro vs. Killer

Winner: None

Zoro was involved in an exhilarating battle with Killer early on in the arc. Both of them were members of the Worst Generation, which only added to the hype of the battle. Despite the fact that neither of them were at full power, the fight was still pretty good.

Both of them traded a few blows before deciding to unleash their final attacks. However, Zoro and Killer were unable to attain victory as they both were knocked out. In the manga, the fight wasn’t as good, but the anime made it seem like a great battle.

13Whitebeard vs. Roger

Winner: None

Whitebeard and Roger are two of the greatest pirates in the history of One Piece. They were considered the crème de la crème of the old era. Both Roger and Whitebeard were blessed with a great deal of power.

However, fans had never seen them fight. This changed in the Wano Country arc. The fight took place in Oden’s flashback, who at the time was sailing with the Whitebeard Pirates. The duel between Roger and Whitebeard was long, but neither of them were able to win.

12Yamato vs. Kaido

Winner: None

Yamato clashed with Kaido after Luffy was defeated by the Yonko. Yamato despised his father for how he treated him. Throughout his entire life, Yamato could do nothing but endure. The chaos on Onigashima gave him the perfect opportunity to fight his father and let out his pent-up anger.

Kaido and Yamato fought for a short period of time, but it was still an incredible fight. Both father and son went all out and used their hybrid forms. Many fans expected Yamato to fall, but he held his ground until Luffy got back up.

11Jimbei vs. Who’s Who

Winner: Jimbei

Jimbei made his long-awaited return in the Wano Country arc after he promised Luffy that he would reunite with the crew in the future. Jimbei’s first major fight as a Straw Hat came against Who’s Who, a former CP9 member. During the fight, Who’s Who divulged a lot of sensitive information regarding Luffy’s Devil Fruit.

The Tobi Roppo member was so confident in his abilities that he even tried to rile up Jimbei. The two characters exchanged a few blows before Jimbei took down Who’s Who with a well-placed hit.

10Nico Robin vs. Black Maria

Winner: Nico Robin

Nico Robin turned up to face Black Maria after Sanji pleaded for her help. The archaeologist had not been involved in a decent fight in a very long time, and this was the perfect opportunity for her to shine.

Black Maria tried to overwhelm Robin using her Devil Fruit abilities, but the latter was more or less unaffected by her attacks. Ultimately, Nico Robin used a completely new form called Demonio Fleur and blew Black Maria out of the water.

9Killer vs. Hawkins

Winner: Killer

Killer had a bone to pick with Basil Hawkins after the Supernova joined Kaido’s crew. Both of them were involved in several minor tussles with other characters, but this was their most important fight in the arc.

Hawkins used his Wara Wara no Mi to make a doll tied to Kid. So any kind of damage dealt to Hawkins was redirected toward Kid, and due to this reason, Killer had to tread carefully. After fighting for a while, Killer found a weak spot and attacked Hawkins’ left arm. As Kid did not have a left arm, Hawkins ended up taking the entire brunt of the attack.

8Inuarashi vs. Jack

Winner: Inuarashi

Inuarashi and Jack fought each other for the first time on Zou. The All-Star traveled to the land of the Minks in order to find and capture Raizo. The Minks tried to talk to Jack, but he was not willing to listen. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi kept him at bay until he used Caesar’s poison gas.

In Wano, Inurashi and Jack came face-to-face again, and this time, the Mink triumphed. With his victory, Inuarashi finally got revenge for what Jack did in the Mokomo Dukedom.

7Nekomamushi vs. Perospero

Winner: Nekomamushi

Despite not being a Sweet Commander, Perospero was a fantastic fighter who mastered the use of his Devil Fruit powers. In the Whole Cake Island arc, Pedro had to sacrifice himself because of Perospero.

When Nekomamushi saw the Big Mom pirate in Wano, he knew what he had to do. Using the power of his Sulong form, Nekomamushi wiped the floor with Perosero, thus avenging the death of his beloved underling.

6The Scabbards vs. Kaido

Winner: Kaido

The Scabbards were fiercely loyal to Kozuki Oden, and when he was murdered in cold blood by Kaido, they couldn’t let it go. They remained in the shadows until they finally found the opportunity to make Kaido pay for what he did.

It was an emotional moment for all the members as they landed one attack after another on the Yonko. Unfortunately, Kaido was more or less unfazed by their moves, and he took them out swiftly.

5Sanji vs Queen

Winner: Sanji

Sanji is a member of the Monster Trio, making him one of the best fighters within the crew. Much was made of Sanji not having a proper fight in Whole Cake Island after it was dubbed “Sanji’s arc.” Thankfully, he got his big fight in Wano as he took on Queen.

Not only was the fight important from a physical perspective, but there was also an emotional element to it. Queen knew Judge and made sure to use all the moves that Sanji’s siblings had to destabilize him mentally. Once Sanji resolved his inner conflict, there wasn’t much that Queen could do to save himself.

4Roronoa Zoro vs. King

Winner: Roronoa Zoro

Roronoa Zoro received a massive power-up in Wano in the form of Enma. The sword was once wielded by Kozuki Oden, who used it to injure Kaido. Zoro’s fight with King was fast-paced, and the Straw Hat pirate struggled to find a vulnerability in the All-Star’s armor.

After analyzing the pattern of King’s attacks, Zoro figured out how to defeat him. Zoro tamed Enma and unleashed a powerful attack that overwhelmed King. One could say that King’s recklessness led to his downfall. If he had been patient and allowed Zoro’s energy to drain, the latter would have lost the fight.

3Kid, Law vs. Big Mom

Winner: Law and Kid

Law and Kid were tasked with the responsibility of fighting Big Mom. She was separated from Kaido by the Supernovas, as it was the only way for them to win the war. Kid and Law struggled for the majority of the fight, but their Devil Fruit Awakenings helped them turn things around.

Big Mom was in awe of their power, so she refused to hold back. She even used part of her own life to boost her strength. Things looked bleak for the twk young pirates, but they remained resolute. Ultimately, Law’s Ope Ope no Mi proved its worth as it sent Big Mom crashing into a magma pit.

2Worst Generation vs. Kaido and Big Mom

Winner: None

This was one of the standout fights in the arc. The Worst Generation members, led by Luffy, went to the rooftop to face the two Yonko. The fight was extremely enthralling, and all the characters showed off their ridiculous powers.

The Supernovas put up a good fight, but they soon realized it was impossible to defeat the two Yonko together. So they formulated a plan to separate Big Mom and Kaido to boost their chances of victory.

1Luffy vs. Kaido

Winner: Luffy

Luffy versus Kaido was the crème de la crème of the Wano Country arc. The fight had many twists and turns, with the momentum shifting with every passing second. When Kaido managed to land a critical hit on Luffy, everyone thought that the latter was dead.

However, he awakened the true power of his Devil Fruit. He called his new ability Gear 5, and it gave him more freedom over his power. Luffy combined his Devil Fruit with Conqueror’s Haki to land many powerful blows on Kaido. Eventually, he defeated Kaido and liberated Wano from his tyranny.
