Fans of “One Piece” often find themselves wondering how these monumental battles unfolded! Eiichiro Oda has a knack for portraying incredible fights, yet there are several iconic clashes in the “One Piece” world that remain shrouded in mystery.
1. Sakazuki vs. Kuzan
The duel between Sakazuki (Akainu) and Kuzan (Aokiji) was one of the longest in “One Piece” history, spanning ten intense days. The battle left Sakazuki with scars and cost Kuzan his left leg. Their powers were so overwhelming that they transformed Punk Hazard into a land of fire and ice – one half ablaze, the other frozen solid.
Yet, fans have never been shown how the fight actually played out. What strategies did they employ? How did Kuzan ultimately lose his position as Admiral? These questions linger unanswered.
2. Sabo and Revolutionary Commanders vs. Fujitora and Ryokugyu
This clash occurred during the Reverie arc at Marijoa, involving Sabo and the Revolutionary Army commanders (Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh) against Admirals Fujitora and Ryokugyu. We first heard about it from Teach (Blackbeard).
Though details remain scarce, the aftermath suggests its intensity. Fujitora left the battle injured, and news of Sabo in the papers deeply troubled the Revolutionary Army, with characters like Dadan and Makino shedding tears. What exactly transpired in this battle remains a mystery, despite its significant implications for the Revolutionary Army’s fate.
3. Garp and Roger vs. the Rocks Pirates
The legendary battle on God Valley is among the most tantalizing mysteries in “One Piece:. As revealed by Sengoku, Garp and Roger teamed up to take down the Rocks Pirates – a crew composed of titans like Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Shiki, and their captain, Rocks D. Xebec.
The stakes were enormous, and the clash likely defined history. Did Roger and Garp fight side by side against Rocks himself? How did they manage to defeat such overwhelming power? Sadly, we’ve only heard about this iconic battle, never witnessed it.
4. Shanks vs. Mihawk
Their duel is a thing of legend, even referenced by Whitebeard, who described it as an unforgettable event. Mihawk’s refusal to duel Shanks after he lost an arm suggests the Red-Haired Emperor was far stronger when he had both arms.
Despite the lore surrounding their rivalry, “One Piece” has yet to show us their epic sword duels, leaving fans yearning for a glimpse of their true strength.
5. Shanks Stops Kaido
Before the Marineford War, Kaido attempted to intercept Whitebeard, but Shanks stepped in and stopped him. The encounter was so decisive that Shanks arrived at Marineford unscathed.
However, what happened during their confrontation? Did Shanks and Kaido fight, or was their encounter resolved another way? The details of this potentially earth-shattering meeting remain unknown.
6. Blackbeard Scars Shanks
Before he consumed the Yami Yami no Mi, Blackbeard (Teach) clashed with Shanks. Using claw-like weapons, Teach left the infamous scar on Shanks’ face. This feat is astonishing, given that even Mihawk, Shanks’ rival, never inflicted such a wound.
How did Teach manage to injure Shanks so severely? The battle, and its context, has never been shown, leaving fans curious about Blackbeard’s power even before he became a Yonko.
7. Shiki vs. Garp and Sengoku
Shiki, one of the greatest pirates of his era, went head-to-head with Garp and Sengoku at Marine Headquarters. The clash was so destructive that it left the Marine base in ruins.
Although the aftermath was briefly shown, the fight itself—likely a chaotic display of raw power and strategy—remains unseen. How did Garp and Sengoku, two of the Marines’ strongest figures, manage to subdue Shiki? Fans are left to imagine the spectacle of this epic confrontation.
