No vs Daz Bones was extreme difficulty, I just don't see Shiryuu pushing Zoro that far.
IMO, for Zoro's future opponents:
- Shiryuu: medium to high difficulty.
- Borsalino: high to very high difficulty.
- Mihawk: very high to extreme difficulty.
I don’t think that for a Pirate king fight against the co main antagonist of the show a mid diff fight will do it. It would be a at least a serious high diff fight.
Not an high diff fight in pure power clash but overall with tricky abilities etc.
Shiryu was hyped enough and the situation is important enough.
Not exactly. The issue is not showing your all, but being stronger than your opponent.
It's a valid way to win a fight by preventing your opponent from powering up.
No one defends Sanji's loss to Doflamingo by claiming that Sanji could have still used Hell's Memories. Sanji didn't go all out, but he was still low diffed.
Likewise vs King, Sanji didn't go all out by was knocked out of commission for a bit.
We have to go back to the beginning : you were talking about the difficulty of the fight between Sanji and King and comparing that with Zoro strength.
Here you used Sanji situational performance in a mere clash to compare that with Zoro strength. In a real fight Sanji wouldn’t have been low diff at all.
You can’t use that to say Zoro >> King >> (low diff) Sanji.
You can’t gauge RS Sanji overall power level with that clash.
Your issue is that you think Zoro is close to Sanji's level. In actuality, Raid Suit Sanji was low diffed by someone considerably weaker than Zoro (King).
And indeed against Dofla it was particular. Sanji was low diffed because of parasite hax and would likely would have been mid diff with knowledge of parasite.
situational clash often have hax, or hype or plot. We can have power level indications or truth in it but often we can’t gauge the real level of someone with them in real 1 vs 1 fight.

Since:
- He was pushed back when defending by Ittoryu Zoro.
- Zoro was under immense gravitational pressure at the time.
- He was pushed back when defending by G3 Luffy.
- He took significant damage while fighting alongside an Admiral against Sabo and some scrubs.
Contrast the performance of one of the Logia Trio:
- Sakazuki came out unscathed from a vastly superior force than the team Issho fought in a 2 vs 1.
- Sakazuki alone made Gura Teach and his entire crew flee.
- Sakazuki alone took on a surprise attack from Marco (Sabo level) and Vista (likely comparable to the strongest of the Commanders) and walked away unscathed.
Issho's performance against high tiers has been so much
worse than Sakazuki's.
it is once again because you took situations and clash into straight power levels.
Fuji was on vacation on Dressrosa. Everyone said he was weird didn’t go all out etc. The guy was on a free ride enjoying himself. They only time he tried a little everyone shit his boots with the insane feats of raising all of dressrosa rubbles.
Fuji was laughing his ass off while fighting Luffy. The time he threw a real attack he sent Luffy flying the other side of the country.
About the revolution army thing : he was jumped 4 vs 2 in a surprise attack in the heart of Marie geoise where all the CD are living. Do you think he had the luxury to go all out ? To destroy everything ? Yet it seems they body bagged them all and Sabo is in a real difficult situation.
Don’t compare Akainu (the strongest of the pack with a logia defense) in a middle of a war and battle ready to Fujitora eating ramen in Marie geoise.
Fuji doesn’t have the same kind of defense as Akainu so he takes damages but he is not at all leagues weaker than any other admirals. Fuji is strong no doubt, the marine didn’t recruit weaklings in their highest rank
