Zoro is the only exception because his role is not only a combatant, his main role is he is the vice captain of the strawhats. The rest of the crew needs a designated role, but not Zoro.
It literally is not... If Oda wanted Zoro's job to be vice captain he would have made it clear long time ago...
Every SH member is the very best/will be the very best at their respective job.
Zoro's job is combatant. How convenient that the same guy is aiming for peak of strength as well, huh? But no, Luffy is stronger? ...
I dont wanna hear this powerscaling feats. Zoro takes great pride in Luffy as his captain. You know who will be most disappointed in Luffy if he is not the strongest in the crew? Yes, you guessed it right, that's Zoro himself. Didnt he tell Pica, "My captain dont have time for someone like you. You have to make do with me"?
Dont wanna hear powerscaling? Why are you discarding clear proof of Zoro's superiority? If you bury your head in the sand and discard proof, of course you will be thinking that Zoro is inferior, that's how we got into this situation in the first place, because the bubble was too fragile to handle the truth it didnt want to hear...
Luffy is strong enough, Zoro wont be disappointed because he is stronger than him. Zoro indeed takes great pride in Luffy as his captain and being stronger than Zoro has never been a requirement. When Zoro threatened to leave the crew, it had nothing to do with Luffy's strength. You buy too much into the hype of the words... While it was worded like that, Luffy was not able to handle Pica. He still cant.
And as much as you dismiss the point @LANJI CUCKSMOKE is making, there is no denying that Zoro said he will take over as captain if Luffy is not the strongest.
I dont see why you guys are upset about it. Zoro being on the same level or almost equal to the future PK is already remarkable. Dont be greedy.
Zoro literally didnt say that, lol. CoC blast has nothing to do in strength relation between Zoro and Luffy as it doesnt affect Zoro.
Why are people upset with Zoro being stronger? The character who solely revolves around strength being the strongest. Imagine that...
What a surprise... If you didnt realize by now that Zoro is stronger and always will be, I dont think you will ever realize it...
