yeah, Zoro is superior because he defeated Pica who is >>> Doflamingo.....


If somebody were to actrually claim Zoro was superior to Luffy coming into the timeskip , and at dressrosa.. Pica would have nothing to do with the argument.
- In terms of scale, Zoro has the superior attacks, which can mean a lot of things dependents on how much you care about the size of an attack defining somebody's prowess.
- The primary argument would revolve around Zoro's usage by Oda up until now.
-> Not even pushed to mid-diff by Pica when they actually started fighting face to face. In fact he did pica in within mere minutes the moment he decided to use his actual fighting style the 3-sword style.
-> Then we come to Fujitora, against Fujitora he's not even using the 3-sword style, but still manages to push back an admiral.
-> Then we come to Wano, from the start he loses his sword. He then faces the fox with 2-swords, then faces a broken killer with the 2-swords. Get's stabbed by killer while using the 2-sword style. Switches to a nerfed version of his 3-sword style and 1-shots a broken killer.
The entire post-timeskip, Zoro hasn't been pushed to a high-diff battle. And everytime he uses his 3-sword style he easily destroys the enemy he faces, while no need for Ashura to be needed whatsoever.
While on the other hand we look at Sanji, who has been pushed to his limits physically at Punk Hazard due to the injuries by Nami & the small clash against Vergo that ended up breaking a part of his leg, and then at WCI against Judge to an extent. Then at the very start of Wano he receives a nice powerup boost that gives him a powerup with no training or w.e needed.
Luffy on the other hand went through WCI recieving powerup after powerup, then he comes to Wano and he's getting another powerup. And he's constantly been pushed to his limits.
Chopper's shown his full potential multiple times. Franky has done the same. Brook has done the same. Usopp has done the same. Robin has done the same.
The only strawhat who has not been pushed to his limits and we know one of his huge abilities still hasn't been used, Ashura, is none other than Zoro.
But I personally don't agree with the idea of Zoro coming into TS stronger than Luffy and believe Zoro just grew in off-panel training from Dressrosa to Wano, but regardless I will not deny the possibility of Zoro coming into TS stronger than Luffy.
