Zoro's timeskip training was for the purpose of being strong enough to protect his captain (Luffy).
Oda has hammered this point in the Onigashima raid. Zoro has literally and figuratively been carrying Luffy throughout the Raid. He has been protecting him every step of the way. Some examples below;
Zoro warning Luffy about Apoo's attack, Luffy KO'd by Apoo and Zoro Carrying Luffy away even though he was cut by Apoo. Zoro was also defending from long range attacks whiles carrying Luffy.
Zoro saving Luffy from Big Mom's heavenly fire.
Zoro saving Luffy from Kaido's Boro breath
Zoro saving Luffy from Big Mom after his G4 runs out.
Zoro saving Luffy from literally getting chomped alive by Kaido
Zoro saving Luffy from Kaido's wind scythes.
These are the instances. Is Oda Implying a form of equality from these? If Zoro wasn't strong enough, would he have been able to save Luffy from Kaido and BM?
This does not seem to be the end because next chapter, it is almost certain that Zoro will be protecting Luffy even more.
Edit; Inb4 people start bringing in Sanji, don't forget he failed to protect Luffy from ministers (not even Yonkou). He was hit by Yuen , saved by Ichiji and saved by Niji.
