Get the fuck out here, boy.
Show it then, the only proof that you have is that BB might want to get a Thirdd df (a zoan probably) which isn't even confirmed. Hell, we don't even know if his boddy can handle 3 dfs it's just a theory based on the skulls on his flag. And even if it is true we don't even know if he wants Kaido's Ui Ui no Mi. So yeah, basically you are prooflesss. But if you think that I am wrong post here the panels that support your theory. Even a hint that shows that BB wants to go to Wano. I'll wait.

I still expect Zoro to fight King. The fact Oda said “1v1 always count on Kaido” has me strongly believing Luffy is going to 1v1 Kaido in the end. Of course it won’t be a true 1v1 because other characters have and will continue to get their shots in to make it believable, but I think narratively it is all pointing to Luffy finishing him off 1v1.

I suspect Sanji is going to briefly get his big moment by replicating Marco’s feat of holding off King & Queen for a short time so that Marco can heal up Zoro. I don’t think Zoro beating King after Marco juices him up puts him over Luffy. But it does let Luffy get his 1v1 vs Kaido and lets Zoro accomplish something that muddies the water on his relative strength to Luffy which Oda seems to like. Really it works perfectly. It lets Sanji fans argue Sanji as relative to Zoro because they both beat a commander and it lets Zoro fans argue Zoro as relative to Luffy because he beat a commander after pulling off such insane feats on the rooftop.
Luffy wont suprass kaido in this arc. It would be joke if he suprass a yonko end of wano lol

Does this suggest that in Zoro's mind, there's a difference between killing Kaido (what he plans on doing) and beating Kaido (what Luffy plans on doing)? This is the only way I can make sense of this without having Zoro completely disrespecting and disregarding his captain's wishes.
The simplest explanation is that Zoro was implicitly excluded from the "you guys".

I mean Luffy did not complain when he saw Zoro on the Rooftop. Zoro heading to the Rooftop was never written as defying captain's orders. No other Strawhat complained when Zoro expressed his desire to go to the Rooftop. They did not criticise him for going against Luffy's instructions.

Oda clearly did not intend for Zoro heading to the Rooftop to be in defiance of Luffy, so that can be ruled out. If we assume that Luffy was not including Zoro in his address, this makes sense.

Zoro vs King should not happen:

- King is Kaido's top commander and he's highly anticipated. It very difficult for me to think that he's going to lose to a guy who is not fighting at his full physical capacity. It's like Luffy fighting Queen or King after defeating Katakuri. If Zoro ends up fighting him then Zoro>> Luffy, which is impossible.
Luffy didn't have a magical healer in WCI to fight Queen after beating Katakuri. Zoro on the other hand is heading for that magical healer(Marco)
Also, Marco disrespect by the OP community. Marco is WB's 1st division commander and the man who fought BB and his crew, Oda would never disrespect him like some fools here think and make him lose his first 1 vs 1 fight in the series, cmon. Marco should at least fight and defeat King.
If Marco was at 100% sure, but it's not the case. Oda found a way to weaken him, which was the point of him wasting his blue flames to protect samurais on the live floor, with King and Queen ganging up on him

Latest chapter even emphasized in the single panel we saw of him, that he is getting tired. So it could have been an opportunity for Oda to show off King by gaining the advantage over the weakened Marco without making Marco look bad

On the other hand, if Marco manages to beat King even after all this, it'd be a disrespect for King's position as Kaido's strongest commander.

Yeah Oda is setting up the pieces for Zoro and Luffy to finally beat Kaido. Im not so sure about BM and Law/kidd; Dnt see them heavily injuring the hag, but could stall her or even force her to retreat. I do believe Luffy will beat her, but I guess that'll be after this arc. The reason I felt Zoro vs King wont happen was because we have no real weight behind that specific matchup. They havent even met yet, or see King even talk about Zoro. Either Marco defeats King, or Zoro one shots him. I like Chopper, but its looking like he will heal Zoro since he cant really hurt Queen(unless those risks are another PU). Zoro only matchup should be Kaido, like Luffy didnt defeat Jack as a warmup, but instead went for Kaido. Both reasons show why Zoro and Luffy didnt face Jack or King as of now, is because theres no weight behind that matchup. Oda doesnt have time, they would either one shot them or not face them at all, theyre fight was always Kaido and Orochi. Orochi is a bum, so it was really only Kaido. Both Luffy and Zoro are meant to be the saviors of Wano. Marco even said to Zoro, hes meant to be on the main stage; King aint it.


Watching the recent OP episode we see Toki die and her say the prophecy... Was she referring to Momo(Moon), the red scabbards(9 shadows), and Zoro(dawn)? Will Kaido get defeated/killed at dawn as well?

When you complain about ZKK despite it having foreshadow but then you suck dry the BBKK even tho that has 0 proof.

Exactly! One Piece youtubers be on that bs too, but laugh at ZKK theory before the raid started, but now try their hardest to discredit the theory, but still believe BB is getting a third fruit and could kill Kaido. Make it make sense

Neither Marco nor chopper can heal zoro from what we know

chopper
using normal monster point for 3 fucking minutes takes him out for hours

now hes boosted it to half an hour hes only gonna be fucked for even longer in less than 10 mins

so he aint doing shit


marco
first thing his flames ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE ON OTHERS

his flames use the stamina of the patient to heal what they can zoro has none right now

now lets pretend your fantasies were true and he could we know for a fact his flames are limited





marcos flames which are limited HAVE BEEN USED ALL THIS TIME

so once again explain to me WHICH ONE OF THESE WILL HEAL HIM AND HOW ?

No dude, Kaido's attack is another level from King/Queen's attack. If Luffy can block Kaido's attack he has no problem dividing his haki to block 2 YC attack's at same time.
It is not about the level of the attack because the barrier nullifies it anyway.
It is how many attacks he is facing at the same time - more attacks are more troublesome.
Two attackers could produce 2 attack sources each, he already needs 4 barriers for that and he cant do that...
That automatically puts him into a worse situation than facing one attack source from Kaido.
He would either get hit which is asking for Kaido's skin or he would have to move completely out of harm's way.

It's very weird. For some of them Kaido dying wouldn't make sense unless BB magically appears to steal his fruit killing him during the process. That kind of bias is weird asf.
Trusting a theory that makes sense and has a lot of foreshadow and paralells::gonope:
Trusting a theory that has 0 foreshadow and 0 sense whatsoever but fits your agenda: :goyea:

Your scenarios get debunked by the simple fact that Kid and Law wont be able to do that against BM, Marco is needed in this fight, therefore, he wont fight King until the end.

And it seems you didnt read some chapters. Zoro would need DOZENS of his best technique in the same place to cut Kaido's head. It's like thinking that a normal human could cut a huge trunk with a move (manually, with an axe)... impossible. Much more impossible in the situation with Zoro barely standing up.

@nik87 earlier in the thread you mentioned that Zoro would be infected with Queen's oni ice virus. Then Chopper's antidote would cure the virus and Zoro's broken bones. I don't understand how having a virus will mend broken bones? It seems like an unnecessary step to go through for healing broken bones. You don't need to explain how the virus works, but can you tell me what chapter or chapters featured Queen and his virus again? Thank you!

It seems that Oda has established that there is no quick fix for Zoro to reach a full recovery. Chopper will be down after fighting in monster point. Zoro is also too exhausted to be healed to full capacity by Marco's flames.

I don't know how it will happen because it seems that Oda struggles with juggling multiple battles in this war. I like to think that Luffy and Zoro will be out for a long time (perhaps several weeks to heal). Then while they are somewhere safe recovering, Oda focuses on Kidd, Killer, and Law defeating Big Mom. Then we can finally see Kidd with feats worthy of being the rival of the Pirate King without Luffy in the manga overshadowing him.

The only problem I can't get passed in my head canon is how Kaido will be stalled if Luffy and Zoro are recovering. I can see Yamato fighting Kaido but that won't be a fight that lasts for the amount of time Luffy and Zoro need to heal.

TL;DR I want Luffy and Zoro to actually need a long time to recover from their wonds, but I don't know how Oda will deal with Kaido in the meantime.
