after seeing Dofla, kata, Don Chinjao get introduced as CoC users i will be surprised if guys like Zoro, mihawk maybe papazuki and/or aokiji dont have it. specially Kata. no offense to him as i personally think doffy is at best a mid/high diff fight for him. its not cuz doffy is dangerous to him, its cuz doffy is a super tank and kata has relatively low offense. so it takes yrs for him to whittle down doffy's HP.
imo doffy feels like more worthy of coc compared to him. doffy was charismatic and had qualities of a king. his underlings was so devoted to him that they were ready to die for him with a smile(monet/vergo).
whereas Kata failed to establish anything significant about him that gives u the feeling "wow this guy could be a coc user". most of the adoration and devotion he receives comes from younger siblings. it didnt feel like he achieved via charisma instead more like being the strongest and ideal older brother for everyone. as we know IRL its very common for younger siblings finding their older siblings as cool/awesome and they tend to rely on them a lot. plus kata is really strong and we see many are praising him for his strength/abilities(like capone and others). until the very moment he CoC clashed with Luffy, he didnt feel CoC material. felt like his CoC was a add-on. not to mention he was a last minute guy oda created.
starting from his character design to his personality, abilities, df pretty much everything Oda changed from how he supposed to look, behave and fight. its also the reason why i dont think he would be that important to the actual plot. as we know how OP will end is already decided that means original story dont have any kata.
just compare the relevancy of these 2 char, Dofla and Kata: Dofla got taken out in 2015. thats 5yrs and we already saw doffy couple of times already who is rotting in jail. and mind u these werent Oda's usual gag panels, he was in some of the most hyped chap and he also contributed narrative. my man is dropping fax from jail
on the other hand we have kata who got taken out in 2018, only 2yrs ago and Oda basically forgot about him. in the last 2 yrs he didnt even bother to draw 1 panel of him. so much for being the next WB
TLDR: Doffy is a Campaign villain and Kata is a Field Boss.
and u know who is more important and holds actual value
so it would be incredibly petty of Oda to give CoC to last min creation like Kata, not important to plot Chinjao, old gen who also isnt important to us now Sengoku BUT NOT giving to char that are basically 2ndary main char Zoro, redefining the next gen like Law and stands as Luffy's biggest Marine obstacle Papazuki who is also the only char so far to make Luffy doubt himself, question the meaning of Life and gave him ptsd
.
mind u aside from BB all the other char in the series combined dont have the equal negative influence on Luffy as Papazuki. and that goes for Yonko, marines, kata. mihawk, WorstGen, WG and everyone and their mother.
@Light D Lamperouge @Finalbeta @Cinera what are ur opinion on CoC and char like Zoro, Mihawk, papazuki, aokiji, law etc?
