1. Ace having been to Wano isn't what I'm talking about. I am talking about the whole Ace wanting to go after Kaidou's head over a plot line with terrible quality.
2. Different. Luffy was still out of his league after power-up. Then Luffy got hit by Ragnarok head-on and the result was him being to clash with Kaido evenly in base. Even though Oda made it clear early in the fight that Luffy should be significantly damaged from Kaido's head-on club attacks.
3. Luffy's growth, in this fight is stupid. Also, Luffy and Zoro did not get neg differ, they were unsure of Robin so they got pushed around because they were unsure of their reason to fight. Nami made that clear. You are reaching, even when the hardest rubber nut huggers said that Luffy's growth in this fight was "shitty"
4. Luffy also acknowledged that Big Mom presence in the fight is harmful to the alliance. Big Mom is Luffy's responsibility, had it not been for his recklessness, the alliance would have a better chance. But even though puffy knows this, he ignores is as if it is not a major problem. Which makes the writing even shittier.
5. Zoro bullied two Yonko. Zoro was not support, he was the driving force of separating both Emperor's and keeping the alliance, in its entirety. alive. Don't downplay him. He did all of this nerfed. Luffy was dead weight, until ragnarok healed him. Which was trash writing. Why would I be jealous of Luffy, when nerfed Zoro basically soloed two Emperors, grievously injuring one in the process, and almost killing the other if it were not for Law's interference.
You just can't accept the fact that the way Oda is handling Luffy is complete trash.
1. The fact is, Luffy has far more reasoning to defeat Kaido then Zolo does. Say what you want about Ace being shoehorned in to give Luffy another reason to face Kaido, but the fact is he has more then enough reason to. Zolo's connections with Ryuma, or any sort of parallels Zolo may have with Oden, don't hold a candle to the reasons why Luffy instead should defeat Kaido.
Just take a look at their motives. Zolo's motive for defeating someone stronger then him is, as per usual, little more then to grow his own personal strength and pride of self. Zolo says to Queen, "THEY SAY KAIDO'S THE TOUGHEST GUY IN THE WORLD, SO I'M HERE TO DEFEAT HIM!"...Zolo just wants another shiny in the trophy-room, another battle won, another inch closer to his dream of attaining some worthless strength-based title.
But what are Luffy's motives? Luffy cares less about his own satisfaction and his fufilling his own bloodlust, and more about actually solving an issue. Luffy wants to liberate an entire country and deliver redemption on behalf of not just Kinemon, not just O-Tama, not just the Red Scabbards, but all of Wano and those who have suffered under Kaido's tyrannical rule.
It's the same reason Oda had Luffy be the one to defeat Doflamingo rather then Law himself. Sure, Law had more history with Doflamingo and personal motivation to take him down, but his reasoning and anguish towards Doflamingo was through his own conceited and vengeful lens for the torment Doflamingo had inflicted upon him and Corazon. But the reality is, Law & Corazon were not the only ones who suffered under Doflamingo, so to did millions of people across Dressrosa for the entirety of his rule, millions of which Law did not care about. Luffy on the other hand wasn't there to burn bridges, he was there to open gates and liberate Dressrosa, just like here in Wano.
2. Rayleigh himself described haki as a "flower that blooms only in the extreme conditions of real battle.". Luffy gaining a haki-boost makes perfect sense in a situation as dire as this one, a boost that allows him to fight more evenly, we saw this in Luffy vs Katakuri where he get's an observation haki-bloom, it's the same situation.
3. "unsure of their reason to fight" lol ok
they got shigan'd and thrown across town, it was a neg-diff
4. "Had it not been for his recklessness" The fact is Luffy realizes he cannot fight both Yonko at once and, at this moment, he has far more reason to face Kaido right now then Big Mom. The only feasible option for him is to ignore her until someone else disposes of her, as we saw happen when Kid, Law, Zoro and Killer removed her from the battle.
5. Zolo didn't bully the yonko anymore then Raizo did deflecting & harming Kaido with his own attack, and if we want to talk about seperating the Yonko, I believe it was Kid & Law who disposed of Meme herself. Zolo merely took care of Prometheus which isn't even threatening, in fact all of Big Mom's most powerful attacks have come from Napoleon. You want to talk about who was the driving force in Roofpiece, look at Law who had to teleport everyone out of harm's way for Zolo's Hakai block to be of any usage. Kaido himself showed far more irritation towards Law, saying "YOUR ABILITIES REALLY THROW ME OFF!", where Zolo couldn't even make Kaido fall to his knees, something Luffy is currently doing in BASE FORM!
Poor broken-bones Zolo, as of 1012 even he doesn't believe he will kill Kaido, entrusting such a task to his captain and his captain alone.
