how much of an assassin did he look like once one aspect of his ability was uncovered ? how can that be enough to swing the fight from dominating zoro to being completely decimated in 3 hits. its simple because his other abilities in the end werent of great significance.
hes not a better version of katakuri
weaker haki undebatable
lesser devil fruit mastery
hes born in the most gifted race in the story thats it. the entire fight zoro wanted to know what group of humans he was. That was the core of king's strength.
When one of his ability was uncovered ? So why post wano Luffy couldn't put down a seraphim ?
Do you think it's that easy lol ?
If we remove FS for Katakuri, then what Katakuri can offer ? A simple one shot material.
King got decimated in 3 hits because of three swords infused his adv.coc and Zoro's ap. Remember Zoro could have ended Kaido in just one move ?
Luffy is Luffy, Zoro is Zoro.
Katakuri got destroyed by 7 hits by pre adv.coa/ pre adv.coc simple punches from WCI luffy.
Katakuri is the weakest among yc1. First to fall, lower bounty. Only his FS saves him.
King is just a better version.
