The story has done no such thing. You just keep pedalling the same shit yet can't even show a single panel of zoro vs King set up.
Zoro doesn't know yamato even exists all he knows is luffy lost and kaido is coming down to start clearing them out. He's not taking that drug cause he's rushing to fight King is he
I like how your argument against me is "prove Zoro vs King", which I've given you plenty of reasons why over the past few months but you refuse to acknowledge them. The story literally has Zoro recovering on the performance floor for a reason. Sanji encountered, fought, and defeated Jabra all within 2 chapters. He had ZERO connection to Jabra beforehand. I've told you already: Narrative connections can support a match (Sanji vs Queen), but the lack thereof does NOT discount one (Zoro vs King). They HAVE connections on a "motif" level, not a narrative one.
Yes, the story has literally closed the door on Zoro vs Kaido lol:
- Luffy: "You two go down, I'll beat Kaido"
- Zoro: "Leave Kaido to Luffy!" "Go to the performance floor"
- Luffy: "I WILL defeat Kaido" to Momo and the whole army
- Yamato: "I will hold you off until Luffy comes back"
The narration has been on repeat telling you its not happening. Zoro has not at all proclaimed he's going back to fight Kaido. It has literally not happened. None of the scabbards intended to fight Kaido again after losing, they decided to help other fronts of the army.
the story said than we are waiting a strong samurai lika oden and this is zoro.
In the case of king, zoro and he doesn't connect anything in all the arc (unlike than sanji and queen)
Read my above response. That doesn't mean shit. Its not like Jinbe was "set up" to fight WsW prior to 998. It's not like Franky was "set up" to fight Sasaki prior to 996. While clearly set in that direction, it's not like Robin was "set up" to fight Black Maria in 1005. Same shit here, characters don't HAVE to have narrative connections prior to their fights. It just so happens Oda set up Sanji and Queen, so it was obvious to guess. He literally did not set up Sanji vs Jabra prior to their two chapter fight, but people seem to forget that exists.
Fighting King or fighting Kaido doesn't matter: The army will witness Zoro fighting SOMEONE, and they can comment in his prowess then. You guys are going to burn yourself expecting him to fight Kaido again lol
