Don't think resolve alone is enough they got beaten before even with that.
But it's what happened though. That's what Zoro said. He was specifically talking about resolve when he said the strawhats were stronger. For god sake how the hell would Zoro even know everyone else trained when we followed his Story completely and there's no sign he would know this... The only thing that changed was resolve and this is one piece... People's strength is entirely tied to their resolve dawg. That's partly how Haki works.
I can't believe you don't believe off-screen training and don't think no one gets stronger after each arc from training and still the same. Kinda dumb logic there.
I believe that Zoro trains off screen since Oda told me he does plus Oda tries to show Zoro training as much as possible.
Of course all the strawhats trained off screen during the time skip but until there is concrete statement in the manga or by Oda, you are working on pure headcanon
One thing that could be possible is that beating up fodder is considered "training" since Luffy technically "trained" in Udon by beating up fodder. That means the only thing that you can say is training between water seven and Ennies Lobby is beating up all those cipher poll agents and marines. So you can say between Fishman island and Punk hazard, the strawhats "trained" by stomping those 100k fishmen. Otherwise Nami did not do jack shit like training off screen.
If you want we can actually go chapter by chapter from the time Robin tried to assassinate Iceberg to when the strawhats are lined up in Ennies Lobby facing CP-9 before Robin's flashback. There is absolutely no way any of them got time to train. Do you remember that where was a literal countdown to Aqua laguna happening at that time? The story was so tense and people were confused and then Sanji even went off on his own on the train. Like we even know everything Sanji was doing that entire time and you somehow saw time for him to train?
Maybe you didn't see this in thean ha and only watched the anime for this part do you don't remember how tightly all the things were actuallly happening

I dont recall he pushing back zoro at all i saw no struggle but he did fail and toei goin add more to the fight i wouldn't complain
Do you actually believe Zoro failed? Thw fight got interrupted then Gyukimaru ran away then Hiyori pleaded wyth Zoro to leave shusui and take Enma.
Are you saying that if nothing happened, and no one interfered, the Gyukimaru could've actually won?
