This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Final Saga.
One Piece’s Final Saga continues to heat up, and it goes without saying that the story is only getting more exciting with each passing chapter in the last stretch. At the moment, Oda is exploring the events of the Elbaf arc, where the Straw Hat Pirates are officially up against Imu and his Holy Knights, making it the most exciting arc that the series has delivered to date. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of exciting things to look forward to in One Piece’s Elbaf arc as the main battles begin, and seeing Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, engaged in high-level battles is a big part of it.
Say Hello To The Official Strongest One Piece Pirate
The strongest pirate of One Piece has been revealed, and he was a legend.
At the moment, Zoro hasn't fought anyone in Elbaf that's noteworthy, but that will soon change as Elbaf is now crawling with the Demon Army, the Holy Knights, and Saint Imu Nerona, who has taken control over Gunko. Clearly, Zoro has plenty of opportunities to show his powers, but most of all, fans are eagerly waiting to see the next power-up of Roronoa Zoro, which Oda has already officially confirmed to be controlled Conqueror's Haki. Zoro's upcoming power-up in Elbaf will be centered around Conqueror's Haki control. While Zoro has been using Conqueror's Haki for a while now, he can't use it well at all. As such, Zoro's Haki will need an upgrade and Elbaf will do just that for him.

- Zoro needs to learn independent Haki control
Zoro officially found out in the Elbaf arc that he has access to Conqueror's Haki. Gaban was quite to point it out to him, but at the same time, he also made it quite clear that he's terrible at using it since he doesn't even recognize his own Conqueror's Haki.

According to Gaban, the true power of Haki can only be brought out after mastering its control to the fullest. As such, it is quite clear for the fans to see what Zoro's next power-up in Elbaf will be. For Zoro, the challenge will be to advance the control over Conqueror's Haki, and use it at will.
One Piece: Oda Officially Confirms Two Most Legendary Devil Fruits In The Series
The two most legendary devil fruits in One Piece have been revealed, and they will be essential in the final battle.
Not only will Zoro have to learn how to use Conqueror's Haki at will, but at the same time, he will also have to learn to inquire about immortals with it. According to Gaban, using Conqueror's Haki in a specific way is key to injuring the immortals permanently, and Zoro will need to learn this ability quickly. This power-up will allow Zoro to not only fight against the Demon Army, but also to clash with the Holy Knights and Imu, if need be.

Zoro Will Have A Big Battle In Elbaf
For Zoro, Elbaf most certainly has a big fight in store as he is only of the select few strong enough to be able to use Conqueror's Haki. Only those with Conqueror's Haki can rival the likes of the Holy Knights, the Demon Army, and Imu, so Zoro must be ready. At the moment, it seems that Zoro's biggest battle in the Elbaf arc of One Piece is going to be against either Saint Sommers, or perhaps Dorry.
