Future Events Is Zoro set up to save the crew?

#22
Zoro wanted a favor from Vegapunk, to fulfill this plotline Zoro either conveyed his message to Robin or will meet with Vegapunk.
To meet Vegapunk he'll has to make sure he's a good guy for him to abandon the Sunny meaning there's no one to save.
The third option is Oda pulling a Ryuma's grave
:josad:

I'd prefer if he doesn't reunite with the crew and instead gets some action with Cp0, Sword, Smoker or whoever.

The favor was probably to let them dock on the island. Hence why the next scene is Shaka saying yes he has interest in the crew as well.

Wano was loaded with great Zoro combat moments. If you asked people before the arc started that Zoro was going to do what he did on the roof (have Big Mom and Kaidou shit their pants, perma scar Kaidou), and then not only unlock Conqueror's but apply the most advanced form that even Luffy who has had conqueror's for years, didn't have access to at the start of the battle, people would call you a delusional Zoro wanker.

What he lacks is great character moments, I think sipping tea is actually a step in the right direction lmao, I loved his interaction with Lilith as well. As I type this I kinda see what you're saying now though, you want to know what Zoro's request for Vegapunk leads to?
Combat wise yeah I agree. Zoro was given so much after he was held back during the TS.

My gripe is more about character moments & about how all the dozen or more plot threads about Zoro were just unceremoniously dropped to wrap up the end of Wano. Just off the top of my head - Ryuma's grave? Luffy is the parallel to Ryuma (lmao). Zoro family backstory? Ushimaru? Avenging Yasuie? Nidai Kitetsu? Nope, we're getting nothing about it.

Even that request... One would think that would lead to something fruitful like cures for SMILES for example... but I don't expect anything more than just another "Help us find our dumbass captain who got lost".

Official translation says it's a demand, and with a pretty aggressive tone at that, talk about TCB translation lol.
"We've got some demands, and you're going to listen" yeah probably something regarding Luffy & Jimbo.
This scene really shows how useless Sanji is lmao

Lmfao that'd be such bait, that specific panel was propped up and highlighted. Something as trivial as docking the ship, shouldn't require such a prominent panel. And it serves no purpose to hide (even for Oda standards). I would understand if people get cheesed with Oda if he did that.

Btw I'm one of those people who thought the whole reaper thing on Wano was overblown the minute it happened, that one isn't Oda's fault. It was just a visualization of how much pain Zoro is about to endure. Mans thought Zoro was about to awaken a df, on some joyboy/ryuma shit lmfao. This though is legit leading readers on for nothing.

Yeah the only reason I think it’s the case is Shakas immediate answer. And if it was anything more Zoro staying on the ship would be so bad.

The highlight of that panel does help to cement Zoro as the #1 in the crew if Luffy isn't there.
But other than that, I have very little hope of it being anything more than just some other help me save my captain or at the best case scenario something about Vivi, Sabo and Revolutionaries considering that was what the crew was talking about going into Egghead.
I'd love for it to be something personal to Zoro like what happened to Yasuie, Otoko and Ebisu Town due to SMILEs but I highly, highly doubt it.

Looking back at that panel Yasheen might be right. I don't know why Oda needed to hide the actual demand itself from Zoro's mouth though, so dumb.

@Sir Yasheen @ConquistadoR

Yea it's probably a bit of what both of you are saying, the demands can be, "You're gonna let us dock, and then you're gonna escort us inside so that we can find the rest of our crew. "

With Zoro and Sanji splitting up for insurance purposes. It makes perfect sense, and nothing would be wrong with it, but hiding the demands is what's dumb if they turn out to be those things.

He's been doing the same "mystery" thing for decades with silhouettes, broken off dialogues etc,. It's not something new nor is it something that only happened in the post ts.
It’s not new; but there’s definitely seemed to have been a huge upswing of them in wano. Idk I’m probably just still salty by the whole dream thing and again just now with Law vs Blackbeard.

Because odas lost faith in his story so he uses “mystery” to keep the buzz about it going.

Yes,typical Oda bait ,just like the Marco one back in Wano .


Zoro wanted nothing from Vegapunk himself.

To be honest the first thing on my mind about Zoro's words is that he himself will end up getting caught. It will be basically 4vs1 if Cp0 face him. If Wano masked CP agents set the bar,I doubt Brook will be much of a help.

Yeah, that's 100% another bait.

Though i doubt Oda will make Zoro look bad next week with how he manages to give Zoro moments every year around his birthday week in November (conquerors coating vs king last year and 997 the previous year iirc). Then again, 4v1 might just be a bit too much.

EDIT: the pfp is beautiful btw :milaugh:
