Yes he does. Fighting against Zoro — who again is substantially stronger than the Luffy Kata lost to — opens a door for king to be stronger.
Point blank, this conversation comes down to you downplaying Zoro’s rooftop feats to a ridiculous degree.
Why would i put zoro over "1yc" level when he has yet to beat one lol
Putting king around the same level as katakuri,marco, etc is in no way downplay. Until zoro actually shows hes stronger than king sayin zoro's feats shit on everyone else is irrelevant because how he does against king tells us more about where he stands strength wise than anything else to this point
If he can give a character stronger than both Katakuri and Fs Luffy a high diff fight, that cements King as above them. There’s no passage or text that compares & contrasts King and Kata so it falls to feats.
Yes it depends on the difficulty of the fight obviously whether its a low diff or extreme diff will more or less tell us how well he should do against other "1yc" assuming they all the same level
Yes it does, there’s no other way to put it other than you’re wrong. Zoro being able to do what other top tiers like Linlin couldn’t do is much better than defeating Kata. Kaido’s durability has been hyped to insane degrees and Zoro doesn’t just injure him, he scars him.
?
So we just ranking luffy based on how strong kkg is or just characters in general based on the strongest attack they can pull out? That makes no sense
And ?
Big mom is on the same level as kaido zoro obviously isn't. Like zoro isn't stronger than linlin
Zoro would be a worse opponent than pre FS Luffy considering the nature and power of his attacks. It wouldn’t be a long battle.
Zoro wasnt stronger than luffy out of the timeskip either him being a swordsman doesn't change that
Even pre timeskip zoro with shusui, haki, and ashura was still weaker than pre skip luffy. No amount of wank is gonna change that
