Speculations Zoro matchup for Elbaf ?

It's not that I think Sommers or Killingham are weak, but there's not enough opponents to keep everyone busy. If Sanji and Zoro fought Sommers and Killingham, there's still over half the crew that isn't being accounted for in terms of matchups. And before you say it, no, the MMAs aren't enough.
Sommers seems cooked, if he ever gets up, he's just going to be a practice piece for Zoro to try his CoC coating.
Killingham will be a bigger problem for Sanji, Sanji needs a PU.
Imunko power levels are unclear tbh.
Others indeed don't have much to do, MMAs can be one-shotted.

Why not?
After last chapter we learned that you need to kill DR outta the victim, so that they can be free of it.
As much as I don't like the idea of DR Loki, it seems possible because it increases tension - the holy bums don't seem too impressive for now.
Also, Luffy promised to stop Loki (read: beat some sense into him) if freeing him makes Loki rampage.
But at the same time, Luffy is unlikely to kill, unlike Zoro, plus Loki is a huge ass dragon, and I can see Luffy being on yet another "gotta recover" phase while Zoro can safely kill DR Loki and get him back to normal.

Other than that I legit don't see any worthy opponent for Zoro on the island unless more holy bums arrive or Imunko proves to be more troublesome than we think.
Oda made DR useless because it´s not going to be anyones arc fight. The Holy Knights are.

Imunko is more troublesome than the community thinks, yes. Idk why though, since Oda made it pretty clear Imu is the strongest in the story, even in vessal form, this very arc

I think the next chapter with be first clash between Loki&Luffy with Imunko and we will finally see how troublesome they are. Trust me, I don't want DR Loki, still it isn't impossible as it is in character for Imu.

Nah, as dumb as Imu dipping from GV was, there´s at least a plot reason. They killed all the native population, and DR Rocks sank the island. Garling and the Gods Knights would have killed Roger and Garp if it weren´t for Rayleigh and Gaban.

Here, Imu directly wants to take over Elbaf and enslave the country for it´s people as slave soldiers. Why would they just dip? Unless we take for granted that Imunko could somehow be solo´d by Luffy while DR loki fights the SHP, but that´s obviously not going to happen, Luffy is weaker than Rocks currently, who got neg diffed.

Key figure yes, for whatever that means.

I think with OP people are entirely too willing to read splashes directly. Like 8 characters in a splash must mean 4v4, when that is really never how it works. With one exception made in Enies Lobby 20 years ago
I don't really think those are all going to be 1vs1, though yeah, most of them are.
Maybe all of them, because in some way they are all related to the same plot.

It's more because Sabo-Shamrock and Dragon-Garling are connected.

Though I would like Zoro vs Shamrock more than Zoro vs Gandhi.

I think you should delete the Shanks Replacement Theory. An L that size for just a little bit of Zoro slander is a terrible deal
OK bluddy i think you need to drop the manga If you think Oda introduced shamrock for the sbsed one his weekly clang clang fight IT hast nothing to do with irrelevant ass

Just get giddy to ignore the brainfarts you and your companions Produced here as soon as the elbaf Match ups begin

Everytime @Fn Lucci or some of his equals start yapping about zoro theories or importance and how others cant read i think back to the best @ZenZu Post of all time

ZKK

-turned FN Lucci from Oda's biggest dickrider to a Lee33 clone.
-turned Cinera from an essay connoisseur into a timid observer.
-turned HA001 from most active into a ghost.
-Gave Finalbeta a purpose in life other than WorstGen.

And much much more.

If that's not the greatest theory ever, I don't know what is.

I find it hilarious and oddly sentimental that you somehow kept this post in mind from two and a half years ago. Weren't you a new member then? Also being a subject when not quoted or mentioned... like who cares that much LMAO

No idea what a dickrider is here and don't remember Lee. I think the closest I get to understanding the reference is how I constantly disagreed with the Clint Eastwood avatar guy. But despite the last volume of Wano being bad (which I think holds true for more than half of readers) I'm actually more into OP than ever, got Viz volume 111 yesterday.

Anyway, again, if you abandon that Shanks Replacement Theory now I'll pretend it never happened lol

I am always surprised when scholars who write 900 page essays are awed that people can remember things.
You thinking (and ignoring my posts where i laid it out you keep saying "shanks replacement theory" for example despite what i said so you seem to just ass blasted cause you couldnt counter 1 thing i laid out there) that my thought process has anything to do with "zoro slander", for believing that the guy oda skipped everything plot-related in "his arc" and usually fights characters that have fewer lines than almost every other character in the arc will definitely not fight Shamrocks already concludes this discussion broski.

Like i said i pray to the gods that odachi will produce an opponent for your idolo that you guys find "worthy" but Shamrock in elbaf aint it. That just another delusional take showing zoro scholars are incapable of reading this manga

We can bet our accounts if you want, you guys seem to be fond of that :Kizgrin:



This is my last post to this topic and to oyu, if you want a bet you can write it here or privately or cope more i dont care:CoolPeace:

Of the three things, only one of them was considerable but I can go over that if you'd like. Shamrock has a very easy argument for being a tease here for something later. The catch is, there's also no explanation for that by the same token. A darkened panel of half his face is not sufficient.

"zoro slander",
This is considering where you are and your ultimate purpose in this thread. There are reasons to believe that Shamrock would not fight Zoro as I've already stated, but this is the basis of your vested interest.


We can bet our accounts if you want, you guys seem to be fond of that :Kizgrin:
You're unwilling to stand behind your conviction regarding Greenbull and so you're projecting here, even though I never stated that Shamrock is most likely or the only one to be considered lol

I'm not betting on something that makes no sense to bet on so yeah, you can kick rocks now

Wouldn't this make luffy looks like a fraud 🤔
Depends.

For now not even Roger could kill HKs, so if you mean that Sommers is going to come back and that would be bad for Luffy, I don't think that would.

I also don't think Zoro is ever killing Sommers (or the other one, should that be the case). He's going to chop them into pieces, slowing down their regen as Gaban did.

We zoro scholars have been living rent free inside kekaro head since 2023 :endthis:
Lmao apparently. Who the fuck remembers a random reference to a handful of other posters from back then. How do you go from saying "anything can happen, really" to bugging over one suggestion.

The topics of the Onigashima skull, the sword of Greenbull, and Zoro's Elbaf opponent haven't even been connected by Oda and yet all the pushback happens to coincide.

No matter how much you twerk for admiral fanboys try to fit in it won’t change your ass wasn’t here during ZKK era twerkaro. You don’t know any of users Zenzu mentioned or have any history with them lmao. You are leashed dog who has been recently homeschooled by likes of Lee. Nobody is taking you serious bark all you want :willight:
