I think Oda gets very uncomfortable in a situations where he has to make Zoro look inferior to his opponents unlike Luffy.
He rarely ever does it, only when absolutely necessary and only when its an opponent any of the SH's wouldnt be able to do shit against, including Luffy.
Unlike Sanji who is used every goddamn arc to hype up someone else's match up
Punk Hazard= broke his leg on vergo, to hype up Law's matchup
Dressrosa= No diffed by doffy
WCI=Got schooled by Judge and his only real matchup was making a fucking cake
Wano= Got no diffed by King and couldnt even KO a hakiless dinossaur
