Okay Oda needs to put Zoro up against a top-tier right tf now because he seriously just embarrassed a YC1 whilst holding back immensely 😭 Even the one time Lucci looked half-decent by disarming a sword was explained that it was only cos Zoro lost focus lmfao, Oda didn't want to give him anything.
If it were Shanks who casually dodged one of Lucci's named attacks whilst catching a flying sword then one-shotting without even powering up, then y'all would've been saying Shanks top 1 etc... Let's not change up now just cos it's Zoro.
Objectively speaking, Zoro just humiliated a YC1 without even going all-out. The second he stopped playing around he ended the fight and without any stamina-based power-up to boot. This level of embarrassment indicates he could low-diff Lucci whenever he wanted. He outperformed Luffy the Yonko vs Lucci because he defeated Lucci using far less of his strength.
Any denial of Zoro being a top-tier died with this chapter. Lucci represents the upper end of high tier and he's simply not on Zoro's level. Zoro's now joined the 'I one-shotted a YC1 club' next to Shanks and Kaido, which is wild considering he did it on an opponent Luffy used G5 on 😭
