A new ranking published by FandomWire has sparked discussion, pitting top swordsmen from One Piece against the entire roster of Demon Slayer Hashira. The article argues that the raw power levels, Haki mastery, and sheer endurance of Straw Hat pirates and their rivals easily overwhelm the elite demon hunters, who rely on Breathing Styles.
Roronoa Zoro secured a high spot on the list, coming in at number six. His three-sword style, bolstered by advanced Armament and Observation Haki, provides the cutting power and defensive capabilities needed to counter Hashira like Giyu or Sanemi. The ranking specifically cites Zoro's stamina, pointing to feats such as training under immense weights or clashing with Dracule Mihawk, suggesting he can outlast any Hashira.

The ranking heavily favors One Piece's power scaling, where weapons amplify Haki and Devil Fruit abilities. This contrasts sharply with Demon Slayer's reliance on sun-forged Nichirin swords for demon slaying. Dracule Mihawk, recognized as the world's strongest swordsman, is also featured, with his island-cleaving Yoru strikes presented as easily eclipsing the explosive power shown by Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku. Other contenders mentioned include Shanks, Tashigi, and Kin'emon, whose inherent speed and durability are highlighted as counters to the boosts provided by Breathing Techniques.
Such cross-series matchups frequently ignite online debate, ranging from YouTube simulations to hypotheticals involving Yoriichi Tsugikuni. While the Hashira are designed to handle Muzan-level threats, the FandomWire article concludes that the hypersonic feats and island-level slashes common in One Piece scaling decisively tip the scales in favor of the pirates. The list ultimately crowns one swordsman as the ultimate victor over the entire Demon Slayer Corps.
