Character Discussion Zoro is not the fighter of the crew he is the swordsman

[Black]

The crews swordsman who is also “a fighter” of the SH pirates is different from “the fighter” of the SH pirate

But brook is also a swordsman. So what now? Do the shs have 2 swordsman roles or what?

Why is it hard for you to swallow that zoros role is the fighter of the crew? It doesn‘t matter if he is a swordsman or not. Dude can also fight with his body which he did multiple times. Swordsmanship is just his personal fighting style. Just accept it and live on.

 

[Reborn]

He is a fighter but not the fighter of the crew. All he does his fight is different from Zoro is the fighter of the crew
He does have the most fight, he doesn’t have the most crucial fight, he is not the strongest

Then why did Luffy mention sword when talking to arlong and not fighting

Did I ever say otherwise, I said he is just not the “fighter” of the crew

He's a swordsman so of course Luffy will mention that

What else you want him to say?

 

[Herrera95]

Luffy is not the captain he is the founder.

Sanji is not the cooker he is the food supplier.

Chopper is not the doctor he is the health keeper.

Brook is not the musician he is the sound maker.

[Buggy D Clown]

The crews swordsman who is also “a fighter” of the SH pirates is different from “the fighter” of the SH pirate

So his main roll(as per what you said) is to fight but he also has a secondary roll to fight???

Be careful not to injure yourself with all the mental gymnastics

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Brook is a swordsman

so is Franky

 

[Herrera95]

So his main roll(as per what you said) is to fight but he also has a secondary roll to fight???

Be careful not to injure yourself with all the mental gymnastics

That makes him a fighterman?

 

[RyoQ]

they just swordly up all around the ship all day

They do this all day.

 

[LolonoisZolo]

Franky can also steer the ship
Nami can also cook

But that is not what they are best at.

Exactly and the same logic can be applied to the ''fighter role'' no ? Everyone on the crew can fight but that's not what they're best at, even Luffy, who is best at making followers.
The only one best at fighting is...Zoro.

 

[Pot Goblin]

Everyone fights but no one specializes in fighting like Zoro does

It's why we get scenes like his fight against the bounty hunters in whiskey peak or him blocking Kaku's slash in egghead, those killer fighter instincts is what seperates him from the others and makes his role as a fighter special

Other than luffy who'd be able to destroy all 100 bounty hunters at whiskey peak at the time?

Nami still had the basic staff so she'd be taken out
Usopp still had his basic slingshot so same deal
Sanji wouldn't be able to take out any of the ladies who were fighting

Honestly even Luffy might've completley fallen for either Vivi's hypnosis or the Nun's trick like we've seen with Miss Goldenweek

This makes Zoro the most optimal fighter of the crew and is why his role is designated as such

 

[Longleg Larry]

I agree that Zolo isn't a fighter, but I disagree that he is a swordsman

He has a good understanding on most bladed weapons & can use them if he has to

He feels more like a Weaponmaster to me

 

[Garp the Fist]

He was the fighter of the crew for years.

He might be a Master Swordsman (this whole dai kenshi thing that was never really translated into English) now, because that’s what he was called in the bounty chapters, the latest volume in English still has him as fighter though.

 

[Foul Legacy]

Quick quest do you think Zoro is stronger than luffy

Nearly equal while zoro takes superiority in terms of being more omnidirectional Fighter.
He doesn't face issue with any kind of fighter.

 

[M944]

He's a fighter and the best fighter (excluding the captain) or best swordsmaster (his goal)
If that's your point

 

[Thaidakar]

does not get any special battles.

He does. In every arc zoro, just like luffy, doesn't get just one arc villain but claps one or the other foe in between or at least has additional clashes.
Luffy is only ahead bc of captain and mc bonus

 

[Rivaille]

He's a swordsman whose role is to fight.

You are nitpicking

He is not nitpicking, you just oblivious to the agenda at play here :saden:

 

[Tai long]

He's a swordsman so of course Luffy will mention that

What else you want him to say?

Why did luffy not mention that Zoro is the figher instead he mentioned the thing that Zoro is best at like he did for everyone else

Luffy is not the captain he is the founder.

Sanji is not the cooker he is the food supplier.

Chopper is not the doctor he is the health keeper.

Brook is not the musician he is the sound maker.

Does luffy cook, or make music? No
Does luffy fight?

So you think Zoro is a better fighter compared to luffy

He does. In every arc zoro, just like luffy, doesn't get just one arc villain but claps one or the other foe in between or at least has additional clashes.

Where was th fighter in wci.
Mention an arc that only Zoro and Luffy fought and the rest of the crew did not

 

[kumae]

I do agree he is the swordsman
There's no such thing as fighter
Fighters or main fighters of the crew are zoro runji and Jinbe

 

[Orojackson Refugee]

Tai long seething and punching air rn
