Damn that's crazy. Good you are here to explain this stuff to us while Oda clearly intents to show us this and instead never tells us, while we getting 40 chapter of vegapunk speech. I hope Zoro kills a major opponent before you get grandkids so you can be free of the duty of educating us
No problem, I have been explaining things for quite a while.
For example, telling people what Asura is without Oda saying anything about it.
Whenever people cant put 2 and 2 together, I am there to help out.
@nik87 Nik-chin. Unless King's wings have to be intact for him to be able to utilize his full power, cutting off half of his wing shouldn't result in career ending injuries. That's not even Oda's style. As lethal as Zoro's blows are, his opponents will recover just well over time. Given Marco could hold off both King and Queen while wasting his flames of resurrection on the environment, it doesn't really speak for King having great combat capabilities either. He is a good fighter with a great gimmick which soon will be explored through the Seraphim, when they get defeated at their prime and we get to know how the Lunarians were annihilated.
Let's give King credit without pretending he is Yonko tier.
You are missing the point, lol.
It is not the wing that is the problem, the wing is disposable and irrelevant.
It was King's torso that took that attack, the wing was just used to convey that damage is absolute.
This is a worse wound than the one Mihawk gave to Zoro and we know Zoro wasn't in good condition for a long time afterward.
King is still shown in the same bandages he had from fight with Zoro, he still hasn't recovered and probably never will recover fully.
You just show that you are casual with that remark with Marco. How does Marco holding his combat-unfit zoan form affect anything that King has demonstrated in combat forms like base and hybrid? How much has King tried vs Marco and how much did he try vs Zoro?
King's combat capabilities arent great, they are fantastic. Zoro doesn't call people killing machines every day. Heck, Zoro never thought losing was an option even when he faced 2 Emperors and yet started envisioning his defeat against King. There is no such thing as gimmick, you cant do anything about it as long as he is in flame mode. A solution to it was never presented.
And when he isn't in flame mode, you are facing an entirely different problem.
There is no such thing as Yonko tier, not when it comes to 1vs1. It is a tier for pirating organizations.
Even if we play along with it, as long as Big Mom and Blackbeard are a Yonko, King is a Yonko tier too.
No amount of effort will make Big Mom look better than King. I have already addressed their stats and all favor King.
After all, you don't see every day 2 Yonkos being used as underlings hypetools...
King and Queen: Little difference in bounty, grouped together as the calamities with Jack, referred to as commanders by Aramaki.
Nik-chin: King is superior to Beckman, Oden, prime Rayleigh and Joyboy's RHM.
Queen about King: A monster that cannot be defeated.
And wasn't defeated since he made a promise to Kaido.
