Did i lie? There is an obvious captain dynamic(roger, wb, kaido, linlin, luffy. Kid, law, etc) that underlings(rayleigh, zoro, katakuri, killer, king) arent able to understand.
This is human resources 101, every leader knows that its important to let your subordinates have little victories for themselves in order to boost morale.
Luffy, law and kid understood that hence they stepped back and had zoro had one for himself.
