Stop crying clown, I can show different Oda's statements that you won't agree with it.
More importantly Oda says someone like Ryuma,
Zolo isn't like Ryuma, different personalities, different introductions, even their sword styles are completely different. If Oda seriously says Zolo and Ryuma are similar personalities and similar characters, then he doesn't know wtf he is writing.
I showed you ZKKclowns Zolo's early designs was being in the Buggy crew, so that proves Oda wasn't sure about Zolo's personality yet at the beginning. If Oda says he was planning to create Zolo from the beginning, he is not telling the truth since he put Zolo in Buggy's crew.
See they argue against
Oda saying One Piece ends after finding it,
they claim One Piece won't end after finding it because, Imu should be final villain after finding One Piece;

My argument isn't only ''bEcAuSe OdA saId sO'' , I showed multiple
different reasons why Imu shouldn't be Final Villain, Oda's statements only isn't enough, Oda can change his mind or say 1 thing then write different things.
Oda also said the
story about One Piece is to defeat Emperors.
So how can Zolo be the 2nd main character when he has no goal about defeating even 1 Emperor, let alone the Emperors. If you remove Zolo from the story, the story won't change it.
Also, if Zolo was 2nd main character, Oda would accept you ZKKclowns crying, and he would make ZKK real. Oda doesn't give a shit about ZKK, he himself put Zolo in Buggy crew in early designs and made Zolo a different personality than Ryuma.
Early design Zolo being in Buggy's crew.
