Is this a good thing?
You want Zoro's only 1v1 in the samurai swordsmen arc to be a mid diff against someone who is NOT the strongest swordsman in the arc.
The thing is, even if Zoro defeats King instead of Queen, he will still not beat the strongest swordsman in the arc because, well, Big Mom is here. Yeah, yeah, I know Big Mom isn't a pure swordswoman, but whatever her swordswomanship lacks in skills, she more than makes up in raw power and I certainly don't think King is stronger than Big Mom.
So "Zoro not defeating the strongest swordsman in this arc" is a bit of a given at this point considering he will likely kill Kaido...not Kaido and Big Mom (the internet would have a meltdown if this happens, lol).
Besides, I did say that, if Zoro vs Queen happens, I predict Zoro will beat Queen
mid-diff. Beating a guy with a bounty one billion berry larger than his own and is so far the strongest YC2 portrayed
mid-diff is a GREAT accomplishment to have for a Supernova like Zoro, especially since his own captain had to go to extreme-diff to beat a guy with a bounty 263 million less than Queen's.
Not taking anything from Katakuri, because I have to take match-ups into account of course, but at least the WG believes Queen is slightly above Katakuri and that means Zoro beating a guy with a bounty bigger than Kata
mid-diff is amazing.
Really? And then Zoro joins 10 other people to do support against some other guy who he won't even defeat himself. Really?
I think you have to take into account the notoriety of the act here. It isn't just some other guy, it's Kaido.
I mean, BB didn't kill WB by himself, but does that stop the act from making his and his crew's name? No.
Whether Zoro plays the role of Akainu in Kaido's defeat (as in delivering fatal wounds that do not kill Kaido immediately) or the role of BB Pirates in Kaido's death (delivering the coup de grace and permanently killing Kaido), it'll still make his name, which he will seal into eternity much later by defeating Mihawk at the end of the story.
