Ah so you’re saying Zoro attacks with Onigiri, King dodges in flame mode and Zoro’s response is
“guess my attacks won’t work now in flame mode”
Not at all questioning why his attack needed to be dodged in the first place. If King can dodge onigiri in flame mode (you’re arguing) then it makes 0 sense for a worn out Zoro to wait for the big moment in speed mode when he should be much faster to dodge said attacks, that makes it riskier if he is so taxed and tired like you say. Zoro should have figured out he can damage him in flame mode
So again, makes 0 sense. Oda is not bat cryptic. But when it’s convenient to you you argue Zoro is just a moron
