Kiku and the scabbards were unable to properly scar kaido though which means that Zoro will probably do it
And we know that it takes really advanced armament Haki to do that and armament is really important to swordsmanship
So it just means Zoro has Haki stronger than Kiku
Are you saying that's a proper end to this?
There's no indication that Zoro can beat Kiku in an actual fight. It just means Zoro has Stronger haki.
Get it? Having ONE better stat doesn't make you stronger.
All the scabbards are weaker than Luffy yet they All damaged Kaido better than Luffy. That's because having ONE stat such as better advanced armament doesn't mean you're stronger.
The only way Zoro is shown to be stronger is if he can win a fight. That's it. Zoro will NOT win a fight against Kaido. That's impossible because he's not the MC. Zoro cutting kaido whether at the start or end of Kaido's fight with Luffy only means Zoro has better armament haki than the scabbards.
What if the scabbards are faster than him? Like what if Sulong inu can just speed blitz Zoro despite his better haki? What if the scabbard are physically stronger than Zoro? What if they have better stamina? Better technique? Better endurance?
All the above is what shows One swordsman is better than the other? It has to be with clean 1v1 where all the above stats come together and then the winner is called Stronger.
If you believe Zoro will leave this arc as the strongest swordsman in Wano, Zoro has to prove it in 1v1 combat with the current strongest. Who is King.
If Zoro doesn't win a fight against King then there's Zero proof he's stronger than him. Him cutting Kaido real good ends on "Zoro has very good armament haki"
And Zoro dream is NOT World's greatest Armament Haki user
