Bunch of non sense.. Kaido is not removing his scales to let Luffy beat him.. It's part of his powers..
Zoro didn't beat King at his best.. Especially when it's slicing related..
King's best feat against Zoro is blocking his Black Rope Dragon Twister which cut Kaido's scales..
It's simple.. Zoro did not defeat King at his best.. Which is the reason King is YC1, his Lunarian defense..
I said Zoro is YC1 for his KoH power up.. He's not Admiral level though..
Luffy has also not harmed a Lunarian nor does he have feats that show he can do so, so you have three options:
1- As Luffy has not shown to be able to harm a Lunarian, like Zoro, they are both at the YC1 level. I don't share the opinion,
but at least you prove to be impartial and at most you will be a wrong person.
2- Assume that King knows more than you about his powers and limitations and I consider that after the KOH his defense was not effective and he decided to enhance his speed. Therefore Zoro, Luffy and many more characters can harm a Lunarian. What most of us do.
At least we are impartial.
3- Continue with the nonsense that Zoro is YC1 and Luffy is above even though Luffy neither hurt nor demonstrated the ability to hurt a Lunarian. In which case
it will be proven that you are a Zoro hater.
Seeing the nonsense of the argument that Kaido does not remove his scales, as if that would provide him with some benefit like King extinguishing his flame that gives him speed and perhaps serves to enhance his attacks, I suppose you will continue with the third option.
Nothing surprising from someone who opened 20 topics about Zoro's non-AdCoC.
