Powers & Abilities Should Zoro deserve to be equal with Luffy in Strength?

So what if Luffy aims to be the Pirate King? Zoro still trains and works hard way more and therefore he deserves to be stronger... Whether he is or not is not the question here.
Zoro has trained once since post skip started and that was recently. Luffy has gone through many hardships, and trained himself extensively on WCI and Wano to become stronger. Zoro who has been complacent since his Mihawk training is not more deserving as Luffy has been working much harder to surpass Top Tiers. Zoro has been doing squat in comparison since return to Sabaody. No hard fought battles or I must get stronger montages, nothing...

Tbh, if we're talking about deserving, this question should be reversed.. Does Luffy deserve to be stronger or equal to Zoro ?
Considering the fact that Luffy has a more ambitious and vast goal than Zoro, the fact that he is captain, and the amount of training and dedication he's put in I definitely believe he deserves to be stronger than Zoro. When you take into fact Luffy's absolute advantage over Zoro with his genetics (grandson of Garp and father of Dragon, top tiers in OP world) and his adaptability to his devil fruit, as well as the factors, stated above I think Luffy is well deserving to be stronger than Zoro.

It's the Zoro cucks, they aren't happy there's somebody that's always going to be better than him.

While on the ship for example, Zoro mainly trains or sleeps, it's the norm, Oda doesn't show much of that stuff anymore, that's all. Luffy doesn't do shit, he only trains when he has to, like the mines situation. In Wano, he's been constantly fighting and trained with Enma.

And because Zoro's emerged a monster from Mihawk's hellish training in which he lost an eye, he doesn't deserve to be up there with Luffy who had the luxury of having a shit ton of fights ? I mean this Luffy was stuggling with Ceasar and Hody Jones bro. He had to catch up somehow giving him zenkai boosts each fight..

Lol, Oda shows Zoro sleeping all the time, but never once training. Get out of here with that nonsense. The fact is, he became complacent and hasn't had to push himself once since post skip because Oda has been protecting him. Lufy has trained much harder over the entire post skip, and has had multiple fights that took him to his limits in one way or another.

Funny how you switched up so fast just now.

"He trains harder.. No wait, I mean he got so strong because of Mihawk.". One statement wrong, and another based on unfounded assumption.

Lets see if he does better than luffy who had fights and power up and achieved fuck all doing no damage and getting one shot.

Oda protects Zoro ? I mean he launched an admiral at him and he held his ground.
He was stronger than Luffy all this time which is why he's taking a main part in defeating a Yonko. Luffy has been fighting gaining zenkai boosts to catch up bcs he didn't train hard enough in the ts.

Just because you see Zoro sleeping doesn't mean he doesn't train post ts, it's literally his hobby alongside drinking as stated by Oda, it makes no sense for him to stop, Oda just doesn't show much background stuff again, it's no non sense, just common sense.
Also, is Mihawk training not considered a training now? lmfao.... Has him coming out with one eye not showed you how hard he trained and perhaps harder than Luffy during the ts ?

so you didn't answer my questions about weasky peak they fought seriously no gag scene was there when Zoro even used his bandana and named attacks no gag scene got drawn by oda has a named attacks got used though and i think you know that three databooks got released that have Zoro equal to luffy prets isn't it ? yellow databook / Green databook / blue databook ... and you will say nah they aren't canon are u sure about that when oda himself confirmed their credibility and asked readers to buy them and read them you got bodied easily dude :suresure:


2- backsit are u sure ? luffy meets the princess of the arc and got asked to help her country luffy promises her about defeating the main antagonist in the end he claps him while Zoro has no interest in him he met and viviwho asks his help in the end he clapped crocodile he met and got asked by shirahochi in the end he clapped hody he met rebecca and got asked by her he clapped doffy while Zoro doesn't have any interest in that :moonwalk: now let's see Zoro met the princess of the arc and he got asked to protect wano and defeating its main antagonist << Kaido >> chapter 955 after that Zoro for the first time expresses his interest for the main antagonist to take care of him while this is reserved for luffy yeah he will take the backsit like law after he inherited oden will and sword are u good at riddles you can try solve this riddle below :amazing::kata:
*Sigh* Fam I told you already, I know Whiskey Peak wasn't a gag, someone on this thread was kind enough to explain it to me..
Still, I PERSONALLY don't think he is stronger than Luffy...No amount of scans, sbs is going to change my mind until Zoro shows me a better portrayal and feat than his captain.

What is a princess compare to the future Shogun of Wano who begged Luffy to Liberate Wano from Kaido :choppawhat:

Kin'emon literally begged him to save Wano in the last chapter.

Oda even manage to sneak in Yasu in his thoughts and this was someone who supposedly had a connection with Zoro.

Yeah sure, Luffy would definitely take a backseat after declaring he would surpass the two Yonkos right to their faces. :okay:
 
The first fight they get into as a crew after Morgan; Buggy beats Zoro and Zoro has no chance to win, while Luffy literally eats Buggy's attack even when his hands were tied, then wounded Zoro realizes he has no chance against Buggy, he escapes by carrying Luffy’s cage.

Then Luffy beats Buggy, while Zoro beats Buggy's chief of staff Cabaji, who was equal to Buggy's first mate Mohji (which Luffy one-shotted).

That was the beginning of the manga, did you skip that part?

Also Oda originally planned to make Zoro one of the sidekicks of Buggy :suresure:
Buggy beat luffy first tho :usoprice::kaidowhat:

Lool yes I guess you got me there :few:
I see you like Zoro a lot and genuinely hope Zoro comes out of Wano stronger than Luffy for your sake :cheers:


I really don't care who ends up stronger tbh...All I know is, come EOS, neither Luffy nor Zoro is touching my guy :steef::steef:

So Luffy can draw strength from knowing those people, but Zoro can't even though he knows most of them too and has other connections in Wano? Luffy saw that man get wet on tv, Zoro knew him and saw it live but that plot is just done?

Also, this is the problem in a nutshell. No amount of story or questions answered by the author will change your mind? You're saying you're gonna ignore the damn proof for which you ask.

[:risicheck::kaidowhat:
 
Imo its safe to assume from each narrative and powerscaling that Luffy will be the strongest and no one from his crew would be his equal.

PK and WSC > WSS. Zoro will beat Mihawk Luffy will beat Kaidou, Prime BB, Imu. Zoro equaling Luffy is just a wishful thinking since the current Luffy is just too strong.
Luffy will not beat Kaido alone tho
He will have Zoro Law Kidd's help
Zoro will be pivotal in his defeat too
