Doesn't really change my point because I'm not denying that strength plays its part but stating it isn't the main factor.
Villain.
Villain.
This wouldn't even be a strength-based argument either and could be seen as the consequence of my take on the events.
First of all, they probably spend time training. Second, this is a story based on constant growth, of course the characters grow naturally stronger as story progresses. Third, I don't have the time to look it up, but I recall Zoro stated they indeed grow stronger just like that at some point pretimeskip.
It is a factor because without it he's significantly weaker, let's not say Dressrosa Zoro without it.
Zoro wasn't as strong as now nor had Enma in Dressrosa, so...?
He did, because he has grown stronger from Dressrosa, he got an abnormal sword, and he trained with it before the last battle.
And Zoro still suffered way more from his unawareness than Fujitora from his own (he was surprised too).
And Fujitora was clearly serious there, just like he was against Sabo.
And? Wanting to do something is a statement of achievement?
There is, because the only time they actually exchanged "techniques", both of them unexpected, Zoro ended up huffing and bleeding while Fujitora was completely fine.
