Simple.
The deuteragonist of any story is to help the protagonist move the plot forward aka help achieve their goal, impel down, marine ford wci did not progress in Luffy's goal at all.
Impel Down/Marine Ford are arcs that is more character progression for Luffy and understanding his backstory
WCI was a side mission again had nothing to do with Luffy's goal of becoming PK.
So as I stated Zoro is the deuteragonist no ? ?
He's not a main character ??
In the first Color Walk book, Oda describes Luffy, Zoro and Nami as "the triggers" of One Piece.

Sabondy to Marineford are some of the most transformative moments of Luffy's path.
Whole Cake Island is 1/4th or whatever of his goal of becoming pirate king, he also gained quite a few allies including Capone, Jinbei, etc etc.
Whole Cake Island was literally a core main quest.
Zoro an elite underling.
