Brings me back to the original point. Lucci would have to be strong enough to stall in the first place, because this isn't a matter of gimmicks. We know green aura was used, we know they are in CQC so it does have relevance power scale wise.

We just don't know to what extent yet. We know Lucci needs to be strong enough to fill this role against Egghead Zoro with his wano PU, we just don't know how big exactly the gap is between them yet.

Replace Lucci let's say with one of those VAs that are gonna go down to some fodder SH and the scene just wouldn't work. There needed to be a threshold to pass to even initiate an offpanel deadlock, much more in that state.

No that chapter gave us a peak at the fight. There was no fighting this chapter. It was just a reaction to Saturn. It doesn't take precedence over an established panel of them actually fighting, and Zoro getting his lines in. And even kicking into his PU from a previous arc. That is significant.
No he doesn't. Killer did it. Got one shot
Fodder did it. Pre roof.
Apoo did it. Got one shot.
He hasn't kicked into anything.

All false equivalencies. Even if Lucci gets one shotted next time we see him on panel, if it was with Zoro's Wano PU then atleast he received that lvl of respect.

We're well past those scenarios, unless Zoro reverts back to non overflow or w.e u wanna call it next time we see him, and ends Lucci that way.

We past no scenario. If he loses to zoros only attack then its a neg diff.
 
You're all looking too deep into this, it's just a small fight that will end when the SHs have to escape.

The pacifistas won't turn anymore, a bunch of VAs are there, Saturn is probably fairly strong himself and Luffy has run out of G5 for the moment with Kizaru almost certainly not defeated yet. Things will only continue to get worse until something like Kuma's arrival gives them a chance to escape.

The dialogue should be enough to tell us Zoro is above Lucci but not enough to make it trivial.
Dont be mistaken...this is a full blown arc. Kizaru will go down officially and several crew members will end up getting fights with VAs.

Kuma really is in no capacity to zip 10+ people and ship when he arrives, its not that simple
 
How is oda stalling zoro when he is drawing him using him in KOH ? moreover lucci isnt using haki and zoro does if he wanted a stall he would just draw them clash no haki.
 
1.Where is he gonna use named attacks when we didn't even get to see this fight? We have like 2 panels at most of actual fighting.

2.Can say the exact same thing for Lucci.

Why does seeing a named attack in an offpanel fight matter more than seeing the two characters using their power ups? As far as offpanel skirmishes are concerned we got them trying more than necessary already. We have yet to even see this fight. All we know is power ups are used.
1. It could of easily been done with a break away from the main plot with Zoro shouting out some named attack of his, then cut right back to the main event.

2. Sure, but unlike Zoro, Lucci hasn't shown any attacks with the AP near Zoro's, so the benefit of the doubt goes to Zoro to finish the fight relatively quickly given the evidence.

Named attacks does a lot to show how far these fighters are going to push themselves. A form/style alone won't provide such context, and considering we don't see any evidence of Lucci nor Zoro have collected any from this fight, we can safely say that this is nothing more than an elongated clash.
 
Yeah we will need to see how the fight concludes before saying how much of an effort this ultimately was for Zoro but it's already pretty clear that Lucci is definitely not a casual opponent for him as some people are claiming. There would be no reason for Oda to draw him engaged in exchanges intense enough to leave him huffing and with significant haki being used if this was nothing more than a stall for time deal.

The little that he were shown of the fight could have easily been illustrated without any huffing on Zoro's side and with none of the visual effects used to depict haki if the impression Oda wanted to give us was that the confrontation was being casually handled. He went out of his way to add in details showing us the effort being put in so am gonna go with that for now. We will see how it goes when they get a longer scene dedicated to them though...

Apoo wasn't in a head to head fight despite having to single handedly deal with Zoro and Drake in CQC while simultaneously looking out for the huge crowd pursuing him for the antidote?
Do you even realise what you wrote.
U just answered yourself, Apoo was literally fucking running around the entire time from zoro and drake. The moment he actually went for CQC he got negged.

I wonder if Oda's doing the same garbage he did from around 995 - 1000 where he made everything slow down just to match the beginning of the Rooftop Battle with chapter 1000.

Slowing everything down to match the start of the Egghead Incident with 1100 or something...
Yeah this feels similar actually.

Even till now with luffy vs kiz and all other events, every event was purposely slowed down so that Saturn and VP and Bonney can be at the same place. And now this will also give us the missing Kuma flashback that is tied to gorosei and VP.

Now that Saturn is a moving piece, the arc has kicked in phase 2 where the irrelevant shit will be sidelined (like zoro vs lucci) and focus on more exposition on the most imp chars of the arc that is VP and Saturn.

I also believe this is done to start involving Dragon in these events as well.
