, and my whole thing with this thread was simply thinking "Oda drawing Zoro with horns and looking like an ICE DEMON with flowing hair" would look cool as fuck....
And we all know Oda usually TENDS to love DRAWING IDEAS more than just simply "oh, this means power level wise blah blah blah"
Just let me state that Zoro does NOT NEED the Ice demon power up... it's JUST an awesome moment to draw, and it's a temporary small duration during this battle, cause he will get the antidote eventually, and will get back to fight with his normal form and win against his main opponent this arc with his NORMAL form...
It's just fucking awesome to see him go on a rampage looking like a demon with horns, great opportunity this arc in this moment, specially since the plague does not turn you into a fodder or render you useless unable to move, rather it's the opposite and it increases your muscle strength and ferocety as Chopper stated. Their bodies cannot handle the aftereffect, BUT ZORO surely can handle it with his trained body
If roles were switched, Sanji was in the same floor as Apoo, and Zoro with Jinbe, I would have loved for an Ice/Fire demon Sanji... It isn't about strength, again, it isn't about giving a power up, it's about "simple ART" cause Ice Demon Zoro with horns, I bet would ave one of the BEST COOLEST PANELS in the arc, that panel would sell like crazy as a wall poster
