General & Others Powerscalers (Agenda Aside) is there a way that your favorite character can not be one of the strongest and that not be an issue for you?

Kuzan has never been portrayed below BB, hell Oda purposefully hiding Kuzans bounty until BB gets a much higher one is pretty telling that when Kuzans gets announced it’ll be above current BBs
This.

Idk why some people are trying to draw the short end of the stick on this. It's clear Oda is keeping Kuzan's bounty for when Teach (and likely the rest of the BBP) gets his final bounty, which is going to be in the 5B range. And the reason is that Kuzan's is going to be at worst basically on par with the present bounty Teach has, but likely higher.

I doubt it. Blackbeard is careless but he’s shown to be careful around abilities that actually intimidate him like Sakazuki Kuzans and Boas. Luffy I just don’t think scares him because he sees Luffys bounty and knows he can take that.


Yes but being based on one of the most famous swordsman in Japanese media, having a supreme grade blade, having a sword style mixing fruit and swordsmanship, and even using your sword to channel gravity to summon meteors makes it pretty clear what Fujis main fighting style is
Show us where Oda portrayed kuzan above Teach
 
It seems like King's just saying that he's not going to stick to a traditional way of fighting in general. Like using a specific weapon.
So even deviating slightly from tradition by using a specific weapon is enough for Zoro to cast you as not a swordsman?
:milaugh:
It's Zoro who disqualified King. Saying King merely did something "slightly different" yet was still disqualified means you are raising the minimum for being a swordsmen even higher!

Dude, King's sword isn't even a real sword lmfao. You're reaching so hard right now
 
You're bluntly disagreeing with Zoro who, after hearing King acknowledge his abandonment of traditional techniques, declares him not a swordsman

Didn't Zoro also say that he was ready to bite King's throat if it allows to win the fight?
Is biting the throat a ''traditional swordsmanship technique'' ?
This just means in a fight, one has to win no matter what the technique used.

Counterpoint: Zoro specifies "life or death", meaning traditional swordsmen ordinarily may not use such techniques.

If Zoro had to use a gun to save his life, he probably would. Does that mean guns are a part of swordsmanship?
 
This is a little weird coming from a Luffy fan because Luffy is clearly going to be top 1, 2, or 3. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that, it’s Luffy’s story.

But let’s talk about other characters and characters related to them.

If Zoro was top 10 but not stronger than some admirals or Yonko would you be dissapointed? If so why? That still means he’s stronger than 99% of characters. That’s not really an issue.

If Sanji ended up comparable to admirals but not stronger than any of them would that be an issue? Or if he was clearly weaker than Zoro, would that upset you? If so why? That doesn’t make him anywhere close to weak.

Mihawk fans, if he turns out to be clearly weaker than Shanks would you accept it? If Shanks turns out weaker than Mihawk I wouldn’t care in the slightest.

I understand some of this is trolling but I’m curious if there is a world where you’re still fine with the character even if they don’t meet your strength expectations.
No, Doffy will be proven to be top 1 or I quit.
 
I like Shanks, Zoro and Doffy. But I debate more about Doffy due how underrated he is.

Warlords has ways had hype to put them as world known pirates, just below Yonko or well known allies of the Marines with the Admirals.

Their hype is insane.

Yet people believe they are Yc4 level, Snack level hahaha.

Doflamingo has been hintes to be the second strongest of the Warlords, just below Mihawk, yet has been labeld as the most dangerous of all them.

Has been hyped by Aokiji, chased by Tsuru, hyped by Law which also is a Walord and also defeated by Doflamingo.

If Law and Luffy were near equals, and Luffy defeates Katakuri with Extreme Diff.... then what does that say about Doffy? Lol

Doffy is Admiral level.

I can accept he aint the strongest, but not that he is equal to a Yc1.
 
It will be a big issue for me. Zoro's existence in this manga is about strenght and becoming the strongest. In contrary to Luffy where Oda doesn't use the word "being the strongest" but "to be free/has the most freedom". For Zoro, Oda always uses the words "becoming stronger/the strongest/greatest" whatever it always related to strength.
It won't suit if Zoro isn't at least top 5. In my headcannon, he will be minimum top 3 EOS.
