Current Events Honest Question: Why don't people actually want a real 1v1 fight for Zoro?

I think I remember you making a comparison of the current situation to Enies Lobby.
Marco holding off King and Queen feels similar to Zoro holding off Kaku and Jabra.
While Chopper briefly being involved in the fight is somewhat similar to Usopp being Jabra's initial "opponent".
Sanji in EL was first fighting Khalifa, here he was fighting Black Maria.
If the pattern continues.
Then Marco's "true" opponent will go to being King.
While Sanji jumps in and decides to fight Queen in place of Chopper.
It might not have been you and you might completely disagree, but I think that's a possible road Oda might go for that set of characters.

The problem with this (imo of course) is that we can't assume Marco is a main character warranted a full blown fight. He's been a YC for decades essentially. Him surpassing or beating King fundamentally does nothing to service the growth of the character.
Idk, just my thought in it. Zoro fighting King while weakened at least maintains the idea that these are the new gen pirates surpassing the old, or at least that Zoro could effectively struggle at some sort of poorly recovered health.
But like you said, all up to interpretation on how long you think Zoro will be out vs when the YC are fought.

Let's summarize Zoro's greatest feats during his time on Rooftop:
1. Made Big Mom panicked and warned Kaido
2. Cutting Borobreath
3. Tatsumaki
4. Tanking Hakai before being teleported by Law
5. Asura, putting permanent scar on Kaido's body
Out of all 5, I think King can pull 4 and 5.
No 1, he probably can't, because afterall that scene was more like to hype Enma, which King doesn't have.
No 2, he probably can't, which is irrelevant anyway because fire is his move, so cutting fire is not really a needed technique for him.
No 3, he probably can't, or probably can, simply depends whether he has a move like Tatsumaki or not. Zoro's tatsumaki wasn't really highlighted to be game changer anyways, it only be countered right after by Kaido with bigger Tatsumaki.
And now, Zoro's most important feats are tanking Hakai and scarring Kaido permanently.
Both can be done by King.
- Tanking Hakai for some seconds before teleported by Law, and ended greatly injured without losing consciousness.
If you think King with his ancient zoan DF's durability and recovery can't tank Hakai for seconds before being teleported. If you think King will be instant KOed by that scene, then you are in for rude awakening.
- Inflicting permanent scar to Kaido using 1 of strongest move, if not the strongest move.
If you think King, which is only about time confirmed to be advanced CoA master, can't do the same i.e. inflicting permanent scar to Kaido's body, then again you are in for rude awakening. People think Kaido is TIERS above King, while it actually isn't. The gap between a Yonko and their YC1 isn't that large. Much smaller than gap between Admiral and average Vice Admiral.
Kaido values strength much, and the fact that King is his YC1 / highest subordinate speaks a thing.
Now that Zoro is confirmed to be a CoC user, the possibility of King having King's Haki aka CoC also increases. Because, we will see again the clash of CoC between Zoro and his opponent, who turns out to be King.
Don't worry, he will gonna change his tone soon.
Just like he changed his tone on King as soon as Zoro made it to Rooftop, he will change his tone again as soon as Zoro is coming back for King

Love how people still think that Zoro vs King is happening. It wouldnt make any sense, that would be just fanservice from Oda to fans, people want Zoro to fight every single strong opponent in the war, chill out, he might fight some gifters or headliners, but he aint fighting no Calamities or tobiroppo:zorothink:
@TheAncientCenturion do you think King can survive tanking Hakai for secs before immediately being teleported by Law? Can King put a permanent scar (which is still on lesser damage than Oden and Kaido still laughed after that) using his strongest move?
