The problem is you're too stuck on power levels and shafting the Straw Hats in favor of Supernova characters that you ignore Oda's pattern of doing things. Law and Kid at best will tag team with Luffy against Kaido until they're out of commission. And the "but King can fly" argument is such a nothing-burger, like the theory about Zoro dying in a certain chapter.
how am I the one stuck on powerlevels?
Zoro vs Kanjuro and Sanji vs Who's Who has actual buildup, there is actual foreshadowing in the manga that these will be their fights. You guys ignore that because it doesn't fit with your headcanon.
also, Oda's pattern isn't applicable here, there isn't a single previous arc that can even be compared to wano. Kaido's the first guy post-skip who was able to fodderize Luffy. The beast pirates have much better portrayal than their straw hat equivalents. It just doesn't make sense.
Why would Oda have Luffy ally with his rival supernovas if he wanted Luffy to claim credit for the victory of wano? It makes no sense.
Eustass Kidd is portrayed as a direct rival of Luffy's. Even if Luffy is much stronger than him, it would literally destroy the point of his character if Zoro upstages him. Kidd has received better portrayal than Zoro ever since his introduction and there is nothing apart from baseless headcanon to say otherwise.
It doesn't make sense for Zoro to get a 1`v1 over someone as important as Kidd.

No build-up, no foreshadowing. Zoro vs Kanjuro is one the most random fights you can think of, same with Sanji vs Who's Who. Especially when Kanjuro will be an opponent for Scabbards, the people he has ACTUALLY deceived, was one of the reasons their leader died and the current state of Wano. And Kanjuro's and Who's Who's YC level is headcannon that has no back-ups.

Because your reasoning for breaking away from Oda's pattern is "but power level!" and "but dah supernovas!"
I am not denying they could happen, but they won't be their main fights. It's blatantly obvious Kaido's top two will be their main opponents. Oda said this will be the Straw Hats most difficult battle yet, but for some reason, Zoro fights a fodder clown and Sanji beats a veteran-level; that's not raising the steaks.
You're proving my point about you being stuck on power levels, since that is one of your only arguments against Zoro/Sanji VS King/Queen.
And Wano is like every other arc, but it's raising the steaks higher than ever.
Because Luffy's the main character and they're not.
It wouldn't destroy the point of Kid's character; it'd just mean Luffy's always been the better pirate.
Yes it does, and throwing buzzwords like "headcanon" isn't going to make it otherwise.

Well with the appearance of the flying six and Numbers we have at least 19 enemies plus Kaido and his son just for the main fighters plus the allied captains of Kaido who are prob more 30 there so many over 100 mio class warriors and if we count the BMP the gap widens even further if the WBP , Marines and the grand fleet of the strawhats does appear I see massacre upon the poor samurai
21 BP plus Orochi and Fuku and BMP (BM, Smoothie, Peros, Compote and Daifuku) 28 high class fighters
Orochi easily survived Namis thunder Zeus and to beat him Kinemon will need some effort
we have 10 strawhats , 7 samurai , 2 captains , Killer plus Laws and Kids inferior executives 6 ( Bepo, Jean, Sachi, Penguin, Wire and Heat) 25 executives but the problem is more than half of those are normal Headliner or Minister level
At this rate the 5400 men can be annihilated by those 28 warriors alone
4 strawhats, 3 samurais, 3 WG are the 10 high class warrior the good guys have for now who want they beat here the allstars ???? a sweet commander Luffy even needed help and air to gasp
a flying six a Sanji with RS couldnt beat
So I guess for now we have
Luffy vs Kaido
King vs Zoro
Kid vs Queen
Inurashi vs Jack
Jinbe, Sanji, Killer, Kawamatsu, Ashura vs 5 of 6 flying six
now we have numbers left whom even Queens considers monsters I guess there are 10 of them so they prob can solo the whole invading army

Same with Sanji vs Who's who as well
There's literally no build-ups in them
