Zoro struggled against Buggy and Kurohadol he has no business in beating Arlong.
Crocodile is a match up thing, I agree, but Mr 1 is also a match up thing.
Luffy barely beat Satori because they are not yet familiar with Mantra and Enel can hurt Luffy. Enel created a trident made of gold that stabbed Luffy, a ball made of gold that handicapped Luffy so Enel is capable of beating Luffy if he fights wisely.
Zoro beat Kaku. Zoro may not be vocal about Nakama power but he is with Luffy just like the rest of the crew in rescuing Robin so that's still Nakama power.
Zoro had better feats before nightmare Luffy? What? The battle with Ryuma? Ryuma who is not even using his own technique but the techniques of Brook? The crew had collective efforts in taking down Oars but they still failed.
Zoro bitch slaps Doffy? Based on what? Based on fanboyism?
Zoro beats Katakuri prior to Enma? Based on fanboyism too?
Rooftop Zoro did not blitz Kaido. He scarred Kaido on the same wound from Oden and that's it. Even with the strongest technique, that's the best he can do and that is not blitzing.
