Current Events Honest Question: Why don't people actually want a real 1v1 fight for Zoro?

@Yasheen

Let me ask, the Scabbards used three pages to defeat Orochi. How many pages do you think Zoro needs?

and will those pages Zoro uses be the last thing Zoro does this arc?
Just one badass double page of Zoro and Hiyori holding Enma slicing through him.

And obviously not. This is just so Zoro is still in the story before he returns to fight Kaido at Luffys side.
 
Because all this will happen at the same time
King Queen and Perospero will finish off Marco at the same time as Sanji and Zoro arrive to replace him

Marco’s whole thing is that he can last a long ass time... Sanji will keep fucking around while Zoro gets healed... And by the time Sanji finally kicks into action, Zoro will be back
I don’t think Sanji is going to fight Queen or King until Marco is defeated. And unless you expect Sanji to hold off both of these two until Zoro is healed I don’t see any reason for Zoro vs King to occur
 
There is a reason Oda has stalled and stalled and stalled Sanji's encounter with a YC and Marco's ability to further stall them.

You can see the narrative cues literally being held ransom by other plotlines in the story.


I.e.:

- You can see how Zoro was prevented from going to the roof until Marco arrived and him cutting Apoo to get the antidote for Chopper

- You can see how Oda held Sanji hostage basically so he could give Robin and Brook big entrances for Black Maria

- You can see how he's basically set up Jinbe's fight but almost refuses to show them fighting.

- You can see how Nami keeps running away from Ulti because she needs "stronger lightning" aka Zeus who is now being betrayed by BM/Prometheus and is captured.

And the list goes on to the point where I could write an essay about how Oda will hold off certain plot points until they mesh well with others. Chopper didn't resolve the virus plot until he gave Hyougoro his focus. Jack recovered at the exact point to take out the recovered scabbards. Orochi came back into the plot exactly when the scabbards did.

This stuff is so funny to read in hindsight because it's HOW Oda can manage 60 characters in one arc. Aka, don't be surprised if Marco is being used to stall the YCs, its very clearly happening right now

Nobody said that people dont want a real 1vs1 for Zoro.
The issue is, the only two characters worthy of a 1vs1 are the two Emperors.
The two characters that Oda decided to be a team fight.
Putting Zoro against anyone else than those two would be a waste of those characters.
There is no point in Zoro low diffing a Calamity when that Calamity can give extreme diff to someone not named Zoro.
 
Because oda cant just bring the big mom pirates or CP-0 into this fight ANY TIME HE WANTS

So Zoro will go against Luffy’s direct Orders?

And what will Zoro do in this fight?
1. I think Luffy will be defeated and the rooftop will break such that both he and Kaido will follow to the performance hall.

2. He already used Enma to open a new scar on Kaido, I think next time he’ll use all three swords to open the scars showing that Zoro can use attacks as strong as Enma with all three of his swords

Marco will stall them until the end. Unless Queen gets gangbanged by Chopper, Drake and Lanji.

Marco vs King.
 
The difference is I think Zoro will rest through the remainder of Act 3 while the dome fights occur. This way Zoro will be able to heal enough to be a competent fighter against a competent enemy without it being just bad writing of “oh he’s been healed in a few minutes.”
I don't expect him to be healed in a few minutes, I expect Sanji to get his matchup sooner while the other YC has a more focused plotline that propels said fight with Zoro later on. It's not like Sanji was matched with Jabra immediately during all the fights. He only showed up a chapter before he wrecked him.

Oda literally stalled the Kaku/Jabra stuff for 10 chapters while Chopper, Nami and Franky all had their fights. The moment Usopp got hurt after was when Sanji made his dramatic entrance because Monster Chopper knocked down the bath for him to recover.

We can't truly predict exactly how Oda will achieve what he intends to. He could have King take a shit for 20 chapters and boom enough time for Zoro to recover :kayneshrug:

I said, Sanji will start fighting Queen at the exact same time as Zoro arrives

Get it? Sanji is fuckin around looking for momo and he is gonna start perving over yamato and all that while Marco is fighting King Queen and Perospero

Then the moment Marco goes down is the moment Sanji arrives and Zoro is fully healed

Sorry, due to the themes of the arc, I don't see Old Gen Marco fighting Old Gen King and winning

There is a reason every F6 fight is a strawhat one and why everyone on the roof was a WG pirate.

My opinion
I can see what you are doing here. I just think the other way. Maybe it's my stupid trust that Oda will finally do something differently.

I don't see Luffy beating Kaido 1 vs 1. Luffy just gets few chapters of his cool 1 vs 1 moment and back to reality.

Law heals Zoro and himself and they go back to the roof.

I like King but he's just written like a lame fuck. Literally zero fun from him and zero profits for dudes like Zoro and Law.
 
1. I think Luffy will be defeated and the rooftop will break such that both he and Kaido will follow to the performance hall.

2. He already used Enma to open a new scar on Kaido, I think next time he’ll use all three swords to open the scars showing that Zoro can use attacks as strong as Enma with all three of his swords
So you expect Zoro to 1v1 kaido after Luffy goes down?

And what gives you the idea only Enma
Cut kaido?
 
I said, Sanji will start fighting Queen at the exact same time as Zoro arrives

Get it? Sanji is fuckin around looking for momo and he is gonna start perving over yamato and all that while Marco is fighting King Queen and Perospero

Then the moment Marco goes down is the moment Sanji arrives and Zoro is fully healed
You think Odas going to stall Sanji for 15 or so more chapters? Definitely not. Marcos already at the end of his rope and once Pero joins in he’ll go down. Sanji is already moving closer to Momo and will probably be there in a few chapters.
 
So next arc Zoro is fighting Shanks? Or Blackbeard?

Geez, what is wrong with you people... You intentionally want to derail Zoro’s for no reason than you want to chase unnecesary hype

@Sadistic Senpai
She does not have such powers because we have seen her healing Zoro already and she clearly doesnt
She was able to get back the scabbards into a fighting shape
 
So you expect Zoro to 1v1 kaido after Luffy goes down?

And what gives you the idea only Enma
Cut kaido?
I expect nine v 1 of the entire pre timeskip straw hats the other eight will cover Luffy while he’s down like in Thriller Bark

And well, there’s one massive cut on Kaido, Oda showcased Enma right before the slash it’s pretty straight forward that it was made by a single sword

@Titty Croissant Why does Zoro go against Luffy’s orders here?
This is his role as an RHM and VC. To step up and tell his Captain when he is wrong.

On the second hand. I don't see Luffy ordering him. He just said, "You can go".

If Zoro and Law have enough oil in their brains they will know Luffy will get fucked up by Kaido if he stays there alone until the end.
