Even Rookie Ace burned WB's hand
Warlord Jinbe admitted Rookie Ace surpassed his level.
Ace creates bigger island size AoE flames than Alber
and also damaged Yamato while Yamato defending with Haki when Ace was Rookie as well.
- Speed: Nerfed Ace moved faster than Red dog, and blocked Aokiji's sneak attack from behind again, when Ace was nerfed.
2. Aokiji's attack was noticed by Luffy and a random marine, and Ace even managed to utter a small sentence.
I don't want to see excuses about "playing Kaido" because
1. Kaido is noticeably higher level than Admirals.
2. As the story goes, the Admirals will show a lot more of their arsenal which will make the situation in MF look like they were holding back the whole time.
Even now we've learned that Kizaru has clones and Kuzan can replicate Garp's AdCoC punch.
3. Linlin already told Kaido to dodge Zoro's much weaker attack and he also dodged Luffy's attack.
- Durability / Stamina: Ace after beaten to death and chained to Sea Stone for days, he fought in Marineford no problem, stopping attacks from Admirals and moving faster than Admirals, even as a Rookie, he fought Warlord Jinbe for 5 days then took an attack from WB and still kept fighting and surprised WB with his durability / stamina.
He then proceeded to fight with a broken skeleton from which Law who is a doctor was shocked.
And in this state he was also able to perform the feats against Kaido that I have already mentioned.
But also half-dead, he took AdCoC TB and remained conscious.
Just to summarize:
- Zoro took a portion of an island-sized attack from two characters who are decently stronger than Yami Teach or Admirals individually let alone together.
- He then proceeded to fight with a broken skeleton and was able to accomplish feats against Kaido in that state.
- Even after taking AdCoC TB from the hybrid Kaido, he remained conscious.
Even if I can agree that Ace can fight LONGER given the feats, but in terms of who can take more damage and especially heavy damage Zoro is clearly ahead by a wide margin.
