Some may argue that One Piece is all about battles involving swords, which is close to the truth.

With so many battles, it cannot be easy to narrow down just the five best ones – but we are here to try! Pivotal moments in Luffy’s journey, these five fights feature a vast array of opponents and styles. This gives them their unique flavour while pushing our hero further than anyone could ever expect. Ready for an action-packed adventure? Get ready for the top five sword fights in One Piece!

During the battle at Marineford, Mihawk, famous for his Yoru sword, and Vista are mighty arms in the Whitebeard Pirates; these two swordsmen encounter each other when one tries to stop Luffy while the other is trying to protect him. They recognized each other’s strength and fighting ability, which is more of an exchange than an actual match.

2- Silvers Rayleigh vs Kizaru (Sabaody)

The clash between these two characters takes place briefly but is enough to show us their strength. Although the “King of Darkness” Rayleigh has not held a sword for a long time, he can see that his form has not decreased. As for Kizaru, the strength of this naval admiral is undisputed; he once quickly wiped out all members of the Worst Generation in one blow.

3- Pedro vs Tamago (Cake island)

Although the two characters are not as prominent as the names above, the match between Pedro and Tamago must appear on this list. Toei Animation spends a lot of effort in their battle; the confrontation is very intense, and they use all their moves to defeat the enemy. In the end, the contest ends with a victory for Pedro; the scene where he cuts Tamago in half has been refined from sight to sound.

4- Brook vs Ryuma (Thriller Bark)

This battle can be said to be a battle of ghosts; Shimotsuki Ryuma is a corpse, while Brook is a dry skeleton. However, Ryuma’s strength is still a significant threat; he uses the famous sword Shusui; later, we know this is the sword of the Wano Kingdom.
Gecko Moria used Kage Kage no Mi to steal Brook’s ball and power Ryuma. Because of this, Ryuma can copy Brook’s moves with incredible speed and power, causing King Soul to suffer in battle. But despite this, Brook also fought hard and was loved by fans for his bravery.

5- Roronoa Zoro vs Ryuma (Thriller Bark)

The same opponent, but Zoro did what Brook couldn’t. He defeated the swordsman Ryuma and ended the battle with a beautiful blow in the air. Fans joke that there is a difference between a healthy body and a dry skeleton.
With the spirit of a Samurai swordsman, Ryuma accepted his defeat and showed respect to Zoro by giving him his precious sword. Jute is considered one of the best sword fights in One Piece because it is not only a match to win and lose but also a match between generations of talented sworders.
