About Orlumbus:
Zolo is immobile and needed to reach Pica, so he had Orlumbus THROW HIM. It's not that complicated, fact is Zolo relied on someone else to cover for his lack of flight or proper mobility, therefore it wasn't a no-diff and technically wasn't even a 1v1. Pica was having Zolo running around for a good while just fine before Orlumbus got involved, chances are Pica could have continued doing so until an opportunity arised to defeat Zolo.
As for BM Pirates, Luffy was starving at the time when the BM army captured him, and just got beat up by Sanji. Luffy getting 1-shot by Kaido once again is a testament to Kaido's strength rather than Luffy's weakness, nobody at that period in Wano is withstanding a Thunder Bagua.
As for Apoo, although Apoo was ORIGINALLY fighting both Zolo and X-Drake, Zolo went somewhere else leaving X-Drake to 1v1 Apoo.
Apoo was fighting, 1 on 1, with Drake at the time. Zolo ambushed Apoo, than Apoo got up afterwards to continue fighting, thus it wasn't a 1-shot. Stop the crap lol
