People feel like if Zoro surpassed Shanks, it means that he will be stronger than Luffy LOOOL
People do not get it.
Luffy surpassing Shanks is simply a PROMISE. NOT HIS DREAM
His dream is to be pirate king.
a Pirate King wipes the floor with Shanks! and not defeat only!
Zoro surpassing Shanks is normal and it's not something that will put Luffy's dream at shame
Luffy's dream is BEYOND surpassing Shanks, surpassing Shanks and giving the hat back is just a promise, not the dream itself.
So, Luffy will still be above Zoro, but it doesn't mean Zoro cannot surpass Shanks because he's Luffy's idol. That's irrelevant
