General & Others If you could trade on of Luffys crew members for another character who would it be?

Name an opponent Zoro can beat that Luffy can't.

Name an opponent Zoro has fought which are on the level of any of Luffy's last two main fights.
Mr.1 pre-ts.

Weird comparisons, that’s not how Oda writes Zoro and Luffy fights. Luffy defeats the antagonist with pis and help, Zoro defeats the second in command either nerfed or it’s a complete wash.

When side by side they’re comparable, you can ask the same question before the rooftop and we see how they compare.

Lmfao Luffy would crush Mr 1 unless you think Crocodile couldn't beat Mr 1 either in that case you're delusional.

Just a reminder Luffy punched Crocodile through layers and layers of bedrock he does that to Mr 1 and Mr 1 looks like a tin can that's been stepped on.

Could Zoro beat Crocodile during Alabasta? No.

Could Zoro beat Enel during Skypia? No.

Could Zoro beat Lucci during EL? No.

Could Zoro beat Doflamingo during Dressrosa? No.

Could Zoro beat Kaido during Wano? No.

Could Zoro beat Kizaru during Egg Head? No.

Generally there's a significant gap between 2nd and 1st which is why Zoro looks impressive in comparison but as soon as he takes on a serious Luffy fight he gets washed.

Jinbei for Vivi is the only correct answer imo

Although I wouldn't mind getting rid of brook. The only thing he's brought to the crew is a good song in the anime.

No one? They're all in the crew for a reason lol

If I really had to make a change purely based on ability though, then I guess Yasopp could replace his son as the sniper

The only problem we have with the SHs is that maybe they are too many and also Oda neglects them in order to introduce too much characters every arc. Then what matters are the dynamics between the characters, that is what makes the sales go up, nobody cares about powerlevels. And the dynamics work (worked?) well otherwise this manga wouldn't sell so well, we just need to see them more (like in the pre time skip) with less side characters (like in the pre time skip).

Foolish argument, Luffy learned to deal with steel in wano wtf...

Doesn't matter what Luffy did he didn't have haki he isn't dealing with Mr.1 (fact)

Depends if he figures out that water is the weakness he could utilize Blood and get a "W" but I'd say that's circumstantial so let's say he loses.

Like Oda said if Luffy wasn't rubber he loses

Yes. Zoro beats Lucci.

Yes. Zoro crushes Doffy in Dressrosa -- see rooftop feats that's all out TS-Zoro

No one is beating Kaido, it took Luffy dying 3 times and being revived by his fruit + getting food + a gauntlet to beat Kaido.

Kizaru isn't knocked out, he's literally choosing to stay down to rest and recuperate. There is no significant gap, as you can see from the above Luffy has a a lot of PIS and circumstantial moments which makes him win, in a straight 1v1 they're comparable.

Lmfao your arguments show you're a Zoro wanker.

Zoro out of TS was rooftop so you're gonna ignore Enma and the fact each character gets stronger each arc.

Zoro never beats Lucci at EL. You probably think EL Zoro beats EL Luffy don't you.

Kizaru is choosing to stay down? Wow Luffy downplay or what he literally says he CAN'T move that means he's not choosing

:gokulaugh:

replace robin with Carrot. She has more chemistry with the rest of the crew. And the Poneglyphs could be translated by Oden's father.

Chopper for Law in a heartbeat. Imo all the other strawhats are irreplaceable either for their abilities in or out of combat, or for their crew dynamics and personality.

You’re a downplayer dude.

each character gets stronger based overcoming death not just chilling on the island…

No EL Luffy = EL Zoro as stated in databooks.

Lucci, isn’t beating Zoro in eneis lobby.

“ I don’t think I’ll be mobile anytime soon” he’s still conscious
