Roronoa Zoro vs Wolverine is a What-If Death Battle featuring Wolverine from Marvel comics against Roronoa Zoro from One Piece.
Description[]
These two are known for fighting with multiple blades at once, let's see which one does it better.
Interlude[]
Boomstick: Wiz, guns are nice and all, but there's something really cool about slicing people down with blades.
Wiz: Well then, i'm sure you'll like today's combatants. But these two don't just use one or two weapons, they use three.
Boomstick: Roronoa Zoro, Three Sword Style user of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Wiz: And Wolverine, the vicious claw-fighter of the X-Men
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
Roronoa Zoro[]
Wiz: Although not much is known about his past, Roronoa Zoro was a man with a dream: To become the World’s Greatest Swordsman.
Boomstick: And in order to reach that goal, he went to a Dojo and trained by beating everyone up. Hell, he was good enough to beat most trained adults, as a child!
Wiz: But there was someone not even Zoro could defeat. His Sensei’s daughter, Kuina. 2001 times they fought, and 2001 times Zoro lost. Both of them shared the dream of becoming the greatest, and were pretty good friends despite all the dueling.
Boomstick: Until the biggest, most evil villain in all of anime appeared and killed Kuina.... Stairs. Kinda lame how she died to something stupid like that.
Wiz: Rightfully devasted by the death of his best friend, Zoro took Kuina’s sword and created then and there a never before seen Fighting style: Santoryu, or Three Swords Style
Boomstick: In which he uses one sword in each hand, which was his usual Fighting style before, and the third one in his MOUTH! This dude is crazy!
Wiz: With this style Zoro developed many different moves, such as the iconic Oni Giri, the tornado creating Tatsu Maki, and he can even fire compressed air blasts with the Pound Cannon and it’s many variations. And for his ultimate move, he appears to be able to create an illusion, named Asura, that allows him to use Kyutoryu, or Nine Sword Style, to deal incredible damage in powerful finishers.
Boomstick: So naturally, having trained for a while, Zoro went to sea in order to track down the current numero uno sword man Dracula My Hawk
Wiz: Dracule Mihawk
Boomstick: Or that. But then he got lost and became a bounty Hunter known as ‘the Pirate Hunter”, before meeting a weird stretchy kid and joined his pirate crew.
Wiz: As a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro ended up in many complicated battles, Fighting a man made of iron, a giraffe man, and a zombie version of a legendary samurai, and many others, but he always came out on top. Well, except when he met Mihawk for first time and was beaten very badly.
Boomstick: Along the long journey he and his buddies went through, Zoro learned a new, very useful trick: Haki. He can use two types of Haki, like Observation, the ability to sense presences and predict future attacks.
Wiz: Zoro’s Haki specialty however, lies in Armament Haki, which allows him to harden his body and swords to provide for great defense, and even greater offense. Such as When he managed to cut through a massive meteor, a feat worth 7 teratons of TNT.
Boomstick: Even without these gimmicks, he’s still incredibly fast and tough. He can consistently keep up with good old captain Luffy, who can dodge laser beams without breaking a sweat!
Wiz: His durability is also very impressive, such as When he, while already very injured, absorbed all the pain Luffy felt during a battle, which left him nearly dead
Boomstick: And Zoro took all that pain and was still standing! This man is absolutely insane!
Wiz: While Zoro still dreams of becoming the world’s greatest swordsman, he cares a lot about his friends, and will sacrifice his own goals if it means allowing Luffy to becoming the Pirate King
Boomstick: But with someone like Zoro on their side, the Straw Hats have nothing to fear.
Zoro: You've underestimated me, snow woman. When you thought you couldn't beat me, you should have run. Of course, there are things that I don't wanna cut. But... let me ask you something. Have you ever seen a fierce animal you were sure would never bite? Because I haven't.
Wolverine[]
Wiz: Born in 1886, the boy then known as James Howlett lived a decently normal life.
Boomstick: He was a weak little kid, very frail and sick all the time. But that soon changed When James began to develop cool mutant powers!
Wiz: When groundskeeper Thomas Logan killed James’s father in cold blood, his main and most iconic mutant ability was unleashed: retractable bone claws.
Boomstick: And then Thomas got stabbed to death. But not before revealing he was James’s actual dad. After losing two dads and his mom killing herself, James ran away from home and adopted a new name: Logan. Doesn’t seem very smart to rename himself after the guy he just killed but hey, that’s comics!
Wiz: His claws weren’t the only power he had. He also had superhuman senses and a very powerful healing factor, allowing him to regenerate from even the harshest of punishments
Boomstick: Tear his heart out? He’ll beat you up and get it back. Sub-zero temperatures that can freeze a body in seconds? Not this body! Blow him up to the point Where the Only thing remaining is his skeleton? Y-you get where i’m going with this right?
Wiz: However his Healing Factor can be overtaxed, and he can be killed in the right conditions, like drowing.
Boomstick: Good luck trying, because this guy doesn’t play around!
Wiz: Logan has lived over 100 years, and fought in many different wars, even helping Captain America fight some nazis during World War II, before eventually being taken as part of the Weapon X project
Boomstick: Weapon X really fucked Logan over, making him go under severe brainwashing and changed his skeleton to infuse a cool metal on it named Adamantium. Naturally his claws turned into adamantium too.
Wiz: Logan’s adamantium has allowed him to pierce through powerhouses like Hulk, Thing and even Thanos, and his skeleton is capable of taking blows from Thor without signs of even being damaged.
Boomstick: After going through tons of bullshit, Logan took the name of Wolverine and joined the mutant group of the X-Men, and he was one of their toughest. Even without adamantium stuff, he’s still comparable to fellow heroes like Daredevil, Spider-Man and Captain America, who all have feats that could put them in the microsecond range, and are fast enough to dodge lightning.
Wiz: Lastly, whenever Wolverine is filled with rage, he can enter a Berserker state, ignoring his pain and self-control, making him faster and stronger, to the point where he could easily beat Venom.
Boomstick: Wolverine has gone through a lot of stuff, suffering massive loss in his life, and he's a bit of an angry little midget. But he never gives up fighting for what he believes in, even after he died... multiple times, seriously how the fuck is he still alive?!
Wolverine: I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice...
Death Battle[]
Inside a bar, Roronoa Zoro of the Straw Hat Pirates is seen relaxing and drinking some beers. The trip to this island in particular was frankly very tiring, and he wanted to drink for a bit before reuniting with his crew.
Zoro: Finally, some quality booze i can drink without that pervy cook pissing me off. This island is pretty nice.
However, Zoro’s relaxation wouldn’t last long, as the man known as Wolverine also entered the location. Having just finished a mission for the X-Men, Logan happened to also be around the area, slightly tired, but nothing a couple of drinks wouldn’t fix.
Logan walked through the bar, until he accidentally bumps into Zoro making him drop his bottle. The Pirate Hunter was visibly angered by this and went after the X-Men, holding his shoulder.
Zoro: Hey! I was drinking there, asshole!
Wolverine: You trying to pick a fight, bub?
Logan punches Zoro away, Only for the swordsman to counter by using his single sword-less move
Zoro: Mutoryu: Tatsu Maki.
Zoro’s movement causes a large wind that blows Logan into a wall, seeing this, the other customers leave the bar for their own safety. Logan tries to throw a nearby chair at Zoro, but he cuts it down with one sword. The Pirate tries to rush at the mutant, Only for Wolverine to grab a glass cup and hit his foe directly in the head with it.
Zoro: tsk, cheap shot!
Zoro then kicks a table straight at Logan who merely breaks it down with a kick of his own before jumping in front of the pirate and uppercutting him.
Ready to take the fight to another level, Zoro unleashes the 360 Pound Cannon attack, destroying a wall and just barely missing Logan.
Wolverine: Alright then, samurai wannabe. I’ll take this brawl seriously.
SNIKT!
The Mutant finally gets his claws out, ready to fight for real. In response, Zoro grabs his second sword.
Zoro: Interesting. Then i’ll do so as well.
FIGHT!
Both Fighters charge at each other and attempt to hit their opponent with their blades, but they both are unable to bypass each other’s defenses, until Zoro jumps back and enters a stance with both blades being held parallel to each other, both tips facing the right side.
Zoro: Nigiri... Hirameki!
Two projectile slashes are sent out at the mutant, who manages to take them without taking much damaging before running at Zoro, rapidly slashing his claws with the classic Berserker Barrage. Zoro somehow blocks most of the slashes, but is hit by a couple of them
Wolverine: Too much for you to handle, greenie?
Zoro: Heh, i’m just getting started!
Zoro dodges to the side and proceeds to cut through Wolverine with both swords, only for the mutant’s healing factor to activate and heal him up completely
Zoro: Huh?
Logan kicks Zoro in the chest, pushing him back a bit and knocking him to the ground, before leaping at him in order to deliver a powerful claw attack, Only for Zoro to roll to the side and escape the attempted move.
The Pirate Hunter takes the fight outside of the bar,but the Mutant’s relentless assault gave him few chances to counter attack. Zoro then uses Tatsu Maki once again, blowing Logan high into the air and giving the swordsman a moment to rest.
Zoro: (What is this guy? It’s like my attacks aren’t even injuring him!)
Wolverine falls down, already ready for more fight, and not happy with the Pirate’s attempt to send him flying.
Zoro grabs his third sword and places it on his mouth, preparing for a very powerful move.
Wolverine: Three swords at once? They won’t help you against me, bub.
Zoro: Don’t underestimate me! Rengoku....
Zoro leaps at Wolverine and uses all 3 swords to slash at the Mutant.
Zoro: ONI GIRI!
The Pirate Hunter delivers one of his most iconic attacks, causing Logan to bleed out considerably and destroying most of the bar They started the fight in. Zoro sheathes his swords before walking away, before Wolverine reveals he’s still standing.
Wolverine: Not bad, that one actually hurt.
Zoro: What?! How? Are you some sort of Devil Fruit user?!
Wolverine: No clue what a Devil Fruit is, but in terms someone like you can understand... I heal quick.
Wolverine once more jumps at Zoro attempting to stab him, but Zoro manages to grab one of his swords in time to block, however Logan keeps up the pressure, landing a couple of powerful blows on his foe. The mutante then launches the Pirate Hunter into the air, before slamming him into the ground, and finishing it off by slashing him one final time, leaving an X-mark while doing so.
Wolverine: Shouldn’t have messed with me.
Zoro falls down close to theremains of the bar, but somehow manages to get up, chuckling a bit.
Zoro: “Heal Quick”? Well then in that case, i just have to cut you down even quicker!
The pirate puts on his bandana, and enhances his swords with haki, before running at Logan and delivering tons of sword attacks at him, forcing the X-Man to activate his Berserker Rage to keep up. Both clash their blades several times, causing massive shockwaves and breaking parts of the land around them, Zoro gets sliced multiple times, but keeps on the attack, while Wolverine is forced to heal from several wounds at once. This clash goes on for a while, until Zoro steps back to use his ultimate move. He positions his blades in front of him, and begins to rapidly spin them.
Zoro: The nine mountains and eight seas, constitute one world! A Thousand of them form a small chiliocosm! And when i gather and cube that chiliocosm, there’s nothing i can’t cut! Santoryu, Secret Technique: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai!
Before Logan has time to react, Zoro was already charging at him, ready to attempt to finish the fight once and for all.
Zoro cuts through Wolverine’s body with enough force to destroy mountains, and proceed to do so several times one after the other to try and overcome the healing, before finishing things off with a 1080 Pound Cannon that sends the mutant warrior flying away. But now knowing of his foe’s regeneration, Zoro rushes after him to make sure the battle’s won. He gets there and sees Wolverine healing, but his Healing Factor was reaching it’s limit.
Zoro: Heh, should have guessed you’d manage to survive all that.
Wolverine: I’m not the type to go down that easily.
Zoro: I can respect that, but it’s about time we ended this.
Zoro grabbed a single sword and Wolverine entered a fighting stance. Both Warriors stared each other down before jumping at each other one last time.
SLASH!
Zoro lands first, injured, but still standing.
But Logan didn’t have the same fate. Zoro’s attack cut him down with enough force to bypass his weakened healing factor and finish him off completely.
Zoro: Now... how do i get back to the ship?
KO!
Results[]
Boomstick: Holy shit that was cool! I was sure Logan would have clutched a win!
Wiz: It’s possible he could have, in some scenarios. But Zoro had enough advantages to win more ofter then not.
Boomstick: While dodging lightning is cool and all, Zoro has managed to dodge a laser at point-blank range!
Wiz: Calculating the distance between Zoro and the laser, we found that he must have moved at around 18 times the speed of light, way faster than Wolverine’s feats, even with his possible nanosecond reaction speed.
Popup: Zoro could also reasonably scale to characters like Sabo and Rob Lucci, theoretically putting his speed at 173 times lightspeed.
Boomstick: And while Logan’s claws could pierce fighters way out of Zoro’s league, it’s not like he’s as powerful as them normally. Hell, he has a hard time beating people like Spider-Man most of the time!
Wiz: With Zoro’s speed and power, and Wolverine’s unbreakable adamantium skeleton this debate comes down to one major question: could Zoro overtax Logan’s healing factor and manage a win?
Boomstick: Spoilers: he definitely could.
Wiz: See, Wolverine’s healing factor has been shown to have limits before, as longer fights with enemies on his level or higher have shown Logan’s wouldn’t be able to keep on the fight for too long. With Zoro’s outstanding physical prowess, there wasn’t much the X-Men could do before he was cut down to size. Plus, Zoro’s insane levels of resistance made it difficult for Logan to outlast him, healing factor or not.
Popup: Zoro had no reliable method of breaking Wolverine’s skeleton, meaning that he could eventually regenerate and stay alive. But Zoro could still incapacitate Logan for enough time to be considered a victory, or theoretically, make Wolverine drown in his own blood
Boomstick: In the end, Wolverine couldn’t keep himself in One Piece, and was a Lo-goner.
Wiz: The winner is Roronoa Zoro

Trivia[]
- The connections between Zoro and Wolverine is that both are strong and hot-headed tough guys who are a part of teams independent from normal society (Zoro is a pirate while the mutants such as Wolverine are shunned by society and considered non-human) and regularly fight using three or more blades at once.
