Nothing will ever change that fact, it isnt an agenda. Zoro is the strongest character in One Piece and I am no longer debating that.
Show me how many times Kaido laid out Big Mom or how Law and Kidd laid her out when she is serious? 0.
Kizaru being sent away isnt Kizaru being laid out, he effectively blocked the attack. Sengoku is clean.
You can go on but not a single top tier got hit clean in a 1vs1 when they are serious.
Except for Kaido when he was hit by Zoro's Asura. Cant blame him since there is no stopping Zoro.
Look at this top tier crying on the ground that he was clapped right on his forehead.
