Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1023 Spoilers Discussion

[Zowo]

Oda loves to draw Base King, the way how he fight, his clothes, everything fits:

And yeah @Bounty , I get the same feeling when I see this panel, look similar to Kata kick against Luffy:

Both are special, both are monsters.
Finally Oda start to build up great hype around King, step for step it going be better and better.

king on another level

 

[T.D.A]

And Zoro wants to surpass everyone who identify as much.

Basically.

 

[MonsterKaido]

No, he said using a sword doesn't define his fighting style. Meaning, having swordsmanship doesn't mean he is limited to only using that style. King was talking about his fighting style. He never talked about the swordsman title. King never stated he wasn't a swordman. That is the same thing we have seen throughout the entire manga. Swordmen aren't limited to just using swordsmanship.

But according to zoro there is a way of sword and king doesn't fits in that category ; I don't care that much only stating this point so feel free to disagree with my take

 

[Jackteo]

Shoo, zoro vs king happened all you get is that slow ass fat okama pacifista dude.

King: easily disarms Zoro with one move at the start of their fight

I swear to god that left eye shit is gonna be some actual power up



Just look at Ryuma in my signature, and pay attention to his eye.

Basically.

So If someone like Shanks doesn't identifies as a swordsman Zoro musn't surpass him(?).

 

[Peroroncino]

Keep your word

 

[Zowo]

Zoro didn't say King wasn't a swordsman he said King didn't identify as one.

It seems like from Zoro's POV it's about whether you identify as one or not, more than anything.

zoro doenst care

"There is no way Kidd can disarm Zoro with his magnetism powers, his grasp is too strong" (quote)

Yet the anime just showed Kid using his magnetism powers all around to make a Punk Gibson, and shows Zoro being able to hold his swords

 

[ShinmenTakezo]

Holy shit Jack hybrid looks like shit.

The swordsman thing is gonna get talked to death again, i like how Oda alluded to fixed styles and so on. So Shanks is like King...

Sanji is still shit

 

[nik87]

So, what are the excuses going to be now once Zoro has said that he isnt allowed to lose regardless if swords are involved or not?

 

[Screws Loose242]

Lol Doflamingo stopping DJ without haki and laugh at it Queen needs haki

Doffy>>Queen by far

Lol queen was taking all.of sanjis attacks, when sanji told zoro his body is feeling different its clearly doing something to sanji & his dormant powers plus you still think sanji is on the same level as he was back then your stupid plus sanji never then has a chance to go all out on mingo, because he end up getting caught because lack of knowledge on mingo df /powers

 

[Peroroncino]

Yet the anime just showed Kid using his magnetism powers all around to make a Punk Gibson, and shows Zoro being able to hold his swords

Kidds powers wouldnt work since zoro can just use hakion the swords and kidd wouldnt be able to move them

 

[Etemenanki]

Yet the anime just showed Kid using his magnetism powers all around to make a Punk Gibson, and shows Zoro being able to hold his swords

Kidd wasn't focusing on Zoro's swords lmao

 

[Zowo]

@Kromage911 L kun today u said king is slow why ? because zoro who moved faster than law kidd killer and fs user luffy dodged his attacks?

 

[Ask D question]

Chapter literally shows Zoro with most clear-cut Ryuuma parallel.

"The chapter is a slap to Zoro fans".

Hey said toxic zoro fans, not zoro fans in general

 

[RayanOO]

That's unnecessary for sure, it would be better if Zoro not related to Ryuma the way Oda want him to be. Depressing? Nah, let's not think too much about it, at the end of the day Zoro still got his own journey and his own obstacle to be passed.

Yeah but it makes zoro whole journey forced. Zoro got his scar not because his own struggle but only to match Ryuma one etc.. And « weirdly » the two strongest swordsmen in history had a scar on the eye and were from the same family.

I don’t like that. Those parallels kill the fun and the originality of the adventure and the authenticity of the characters

 

[mly90]

Btw this chapter proves that zoro wouldn’t do any better then Marco or Sanji in a 2v1

if Sanji didn’t block queens claw he woulda been trapped and burned

Marco took them on knowing it would be 2 on 1 while Zoro is fighting together with Sanji here, i see no reason why he would be on guard from Queen to begin with

 

[[No Name]]

So, what are the excuses going to be now once Zoro has said that he isnt allowed to lose regardless if swords are involved or not?

He can't loose because of his role of Luffy's wing.
That doesn't mean he's gonna defeat everyone because he wants to be the Strongest ever, no.
Zoro has 2 goals: making LUFFY PK and defeating everyone who identifies as a swordsman.
