If only Oda focuses on choreographing instead of offscreening, sigh...
Regardless, Zoro vs King is headed towards the right direction compared to Luffy vs Kata because it has no bullshit plot conveniences so far.
And because it doesn't take a trillion tries from Zoro to even land a hit on King.
Also, I will reiterate this: with the way King neg diffing RS Sanji and holding off Zoro, if his bounty is only 10 million larger than Queen's, it is an obvious troll move from Oda. This guy, just like any YC1 shown so far, is leaps and bounds ahead of Queen and Jack in terms of competency.
