@Monkey D Theories No it would cost Oda a lot.
Again just look at pre time skip
Just like how I explained Oda made Zoro not use Sanzen Sekai for 400 chapters like how Asur a isn't being used, the Consideration of how strong Zoro is is always important.
Remember that for a large portion of Pre time skip, it's always been arguable that Zoro is pretty much as strong as luffy. And Oda knows that. Oda intentionally writes things like the two fighting in Whiskey peak because he knows they are relative.
And do you know what that leads to? That leads to Oda having to write the opponents of Zoro a certain way.
If Zoro is relative to Luffy in strength, that means that the opposing side must have a number two who is also relative to the final boss. And THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.
Understand, it's a special case that the strawhats have a vice captain who is relative to the captain. It's supposed to be special. That's why it's believable that other pirates keep confusing Zoro for the one who is the captain. Because it's extremely rare for their to be a subordinate who is relative to their captain.
And so the other gimmick of Zoro's pre time skip fights comes up. Zoro MUST BE NERFED. Since its supposed to be rare for a number two to be relative to the captain, Zoro who is relative to Luffy must get NERFED so that he can match up well to the number two.
See the pattern.
And guess what happened post time skip?
Zoro stopped getting NERFED. Oda finally got tired of having Zoro get nerfed so he had to settle for Zoro doesn't go all out.
If post time skip Zoro is relative to luffy (which we can argue about elsewhere) then unless Zoro gets nerfed similar to pre time skip, Pica would have to be relative to Doflamingo to match up. And this cannot happen. The literal story cannot allow pica to be relative to doffy or else it makes Zoro being relative to luffy less special.
I hope you see what I'm getting at.
It would cost Oda hundreds of chapters of setting up shit like urouge wondering how Zoro isn't a captain or Zoro tanking luffy's pain or Zoro beating the final villain hody in the arc itself before luffy.
Oda does these things to remind us that it's special that The strawhats have a number two who is relative to the captain and it cannot be special if every arc just has a bunch of number twos who are also relative to their captains.
Okay. I guess you don't have an answer.
I hope you've learned something
