General & Others If Zoro and Sanji get pushed to high/extreme diff by a Tobi Roppo..

I don't do powerscaling in One Piece. All this Admiral level, Yonko level, YC1, YC2, veteran level etc is nonsense to me. its about matchups and where the character's progression is during the story. Right now the Tobi Roppo can challenge for a spot to be a Calamity. So if Zoro and Sanji fights and defeat them, I won't have any qualms. If Zoro and Sanji somehow takes on a King, Queen, or Jack and just survive, that shows how strong Zoro and Sanji has gotten. 2 rookie subordinates hanging with pirates with bounties over a billion beries.
 
I'll tell you why:

1- Before even the latest introduction of Marco, SO MANY fans already paired him with King based on "similarity in DF", both birds with different flames..

2- If you want to bring up the sword argument, Oda has drawn Marco before with sword during Fishman island when we saw BB with claws, Marco with sword, and so on when WB claimed protecting FI with his name

3- The strongest points that were in Zoro's favor imo to face King was that Marco would arrive to battle LATE and making his entrance to help alliance... the reason last chapter was so bad for the "Zoro vs King" match is, NOT ONLY, Oda made Marco and King do the exact same feat against BMP on waterfall, highlighting them clashing even more
But ALSO, that Marco's introduction was EARLY before the war even starts!

Reason for this is important is simple, when Marco arrives late to battle, there is basically NO BUILD UP, whatsoever between Marco and King.... I was counting on that time Marco was absent for Oda to build tension between Zoro and King...

Where maybe during a first round of this war invasion, while Luffy gets demolished by Kaido, we also, get Zoro get overwhelmed by King

That kind of build up, before marco shows up, will make it in Zoro's favor to end King later on... cause Oda will have to redeem the first round loss of Zoro, by having Zoro return and beat him (similar to Kaku beating Zoro in Water 7, to Zoro beating him in Enies Lobby)


This makes a huuuge difference! But Marco who was already having 10times more similarity to King than Zoro does, not to mention one if first division commander of Strongest man, the other is the same for strongest creature!

The amount of similarity between both, and this last chapter added more salt to the wound by making marco do the exact same feat as King, by kicking BM ship off the waterfall

And then, we have Marco introduced early, LITERALLY before even Zoro knows how King looks like, they never met, no build up, no grudge for 3 straight acts! There is literally no encounter between the two to build their fight before Marco joins the war, to actually make the fans REFUSE the Marco vs King match, and want Zoro to get his redemption after losing a first round

So, I hope my reasoning is sound and logical to think Marco vs King is what Oda is aiming for "it seems" at least to me, personally

On the other hand, I'll repeat what I said before:

- Marco vs King
- Zoro vs Toppi Roppo
Makes sense in terms of writing

But it's not entertaining to see that as much as both Zoro and Marco exceeding their limits by fighting stronger opponents like:
- Marco helping against Yonko
- Zoro takes on King

Meaning, what I actually want is NOT what I actually expect
Do you remember the question I asked? I asked what makes Who's who more suited than King?

See how you never mention Who's who? Almost like there's no actual reason why who's who is more suited
 
"Oda needs to reconsider his powerscaling"
"Oda doesnt care about powerscaling"

Blah, blah, blah

Consider this. Your strength placements and Oda's are just different.

Veteran/YC1/YC2/YC3 doesnt exist in his mind.

Nobody actually knows how strong the Toppi Robbo are, so no one can call bullshit and riot if Zoro and Sanji end up having them as their final opponent. Not even I.

Gotta fully accept you dont know how strong anyone actually is for you to enjoy the fights more lol.

One piece fights are dependant on match ups and always will be. Not powerscaling bs from the fanbase.
 
Zoro has only three candidates to face 1 vs 1:

- Orochi (Zoro fans worst nightmare Lol)
- Who's Who (a reasonable choice, but not a satisfying one)
- Mimawarigumi Samurai Elite leader (Didn't receive enough hype)
I don't understand why people want Zoro to have a mid diff final battle in this arc

Like Imagine wano ends with Zoro low diffing Orochi as his final fight. What exactly would be the point of this? Isn't the general consensus that Zoro has it too easy? Then the people who say Zoro character is badly written also say Zoro's final fight is going to be Orochi.... It's so dumb... You can literally see the hate mentality just flowing through them...

They actively want Oda to do things they consider make Zoro's character bad just so that they have something to complain about... It's so dumb
 
"Oda needs to reconsider his powerscaling"
"Oda doesnt care about powerscaling"

Blah, blah, blah

Actually no, Oda has said it multiple times that the Yonkou are in a stalemate.

Therefore all their top forces are comparable in strength since we've seen two Yonkou clash multiple times and they are fairly equal.

So for Kaido to have the Tobi roppo equivalent to his very top men is the equivalent of Oven and Persopero being equivalent to katakuri and cracker and thats definitely not true is it?

The argument is either Kaido has the StrongeSt crew and that shit about the Yonkou stalemate was all a lie or No one below the calamities is comparable to the calamities themselves kind of like no one below Cracker is comparable to him.
 
Do you remember the question I asked? I asked what makes Who's who more suited than King?

See how you never mention Who's who? Almost like there's no actual reason why who's who is more suited
And I never actually said Who's who is more suited, he's just the second most obvious choice buddy for the current time being!

If you want me to say something just to please your ear, forget it, I've said it a million time, Oda is a failure this arc, and I have ZERO expectations..

Same for me expecting a good satisfying battle for Zoro and Sanji this arc... By the end of war, Zoro and Sanji will beat a toppi Roppo member, and their fans who were hyped for:
Zoro vs King
Sanji vs Queen
They will try to mend their wounds by saying "well, toppi roppo were a challenge for YC seat"

That's basically Oda's scapegoat...

I repeat, in terms of writing, it's right and gradual progress for strength as Toppi roppo can be the Bridge for YC, BUT it's ZERO entertainment

And if you want me to say "because there is ZERO entertainment then I must say that Zoro will face King"

Then no, because I simply don't believe in that fight happening anymore, not the first time Oda disappoints, it won't be the last.

I'll repeat the point of what makes Who's who more suited. The answer applies to King, as Zoro fans are relying on the sword, but Who's who is swordsman also, so again, he's next obvious choice if King was Marco's match up...
Also, power level wise, he makes more sense than King

But Zero entertainment as I stated
 
he's just the second most obvious choice buddy for the current time being!
This is a lie. You listed the only people Zoro could fight

You said It's orochi who's who and samurai police guy

And then I asked you why whos who is on this list and not king

Wasn't it outright said that Big Mom's army is the strongest?
Nope
 
0 Possibility, there would literally be no character progression if that happened.

I will always go Zoro vs King, Sanji vs Queen.

2nd: There is a 0 percent chance that Zoro will fight an opponent weaker than the scabbards as zoro is stronger than all of them
But you are also assuming Zoro is stronger than Kid or Marco at this time, who have pretty decent opportunities to fight Queen and King respectively. Inu and Neko fighting Jack would be two Scabbards taking on an All Star, not one. That also insinuating that Who's Who is not of similar strength, which we have no idea atm.

Point is, we don't know what Oda is planning. The setup for Zoro/King really isn't there yet. It's not there for Who's Who either. We are basing this on swords really lol.

But, if Zoro is soloing King, then Luffy is soloing Kaido, it's only fair, but I personally don't see it happening this arc. There is still growth to be had in future arcs, not Luffy becoming the strongest creature and Zoro becoming a top Yonko commander in a single arc. Luffy had to fight Doflamingo, Cracker and Katakuri to surpass Yonko Commanders. We all assume Zoro has the growth to surpass King at this moment?

I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's then going to require a MASSIVE jump in power for him and it leaves a big question mark about future fights.
 
But you are also assuming Zoro is stronger than Kid or Marco at this time,
Zoro's a main character though

Sabo was stronger than Zoro but you didn't see him stomping pica just because he was there and he could

The story is written around these main characters

If you figure Kid and Marco are more important than Zoro then you out to ask "Where is THERE set up?" Anha? Did King kill one kid's men? No. Is there a 20 year old beef between King and Marco? No.

So why do these non main characters suddenly have priority over a main character? And not even a random main character like Franky or something. It's specifically Zoro. Zoro who is the fighter. The swordsman who beats the second strongest of the villain who also turns our to be a swordsman.

I don't see how kid and Marco don't need set up to fight king but a main character who had been fighting the second strongest for 1000 chapters now needs some very deep reason
 
Therefore all their top forces are comparable in strength since we've seen two Yonkou clash multiple times and they are fairly equal.

Yonko's fight crew vs crew and crews as a whole can back up each other in a battle field setting. Just like what we've seeing so far in the alliance. That gives the illusion of them being comparable in strength.

Compare BM's commanders to Kaido's.

The BMP commanders have tricky DFs but the All Stars are straight up more physically powerful than them because of theirs. They are not on the same level.

But you know One Piece rules. You dont need to be as strong as someone to win fights.

So for Kaido to have the Tobi roppo equivalent to his very top men is the equivalent of Oven and Persopero being equivalent to katakuri and cracker and thats definitely not true is it?
Not really. Kaido is aiming to have a powerful crew and start the largest war the world has ever known. It WOULD make a lot of sense that he would aim have more "Yonko Commander level" members in his ranks.

So let's circle back to your first sentence. The Yonko USED TO stalemate. The Yonko in general barely fight each other at all. The Toppi Robbo being that strong means the balance of power simply shifted which seems to be the theme of the Yonko Vs. saga anyway.

Based on feats Daifuku already has higher AP than Cracker with how he can cut half a fleet in a single swing.

P1 practically has Commander Level physical strength.

BM almost came very close to one uping the other Yonko in WCI via the Vinsmoke tech.

Them stalemating in the past doesnt speak for currently.
 
With the Scabbards and Supernovas around people need to accept that this arc won't be a EL or Alabasta style Strawhats Vs Enemies one on one type of conflict . Unless you want the Scabbards and Supernovas to get stomped so that the Strawhats can save them which would be fucking bullshit
There is enough fight for everyone to have a one v one even tho certain fight are set up to 1 v several opponents (like the Kaido or Jack’s fight).
 
This is a lie. You listed the only people Zoro could fight

You said It's orochi who's who and samurai police guy

What is so funny is you accuse me of lying about something when you didn't read my comment sir! Maybe your blindly angry, don't know what's wrong!

Go re-check my comment: This is what I said:

If Oda will make Marco TRULY be King's fight, then zoro has three candidates after that:
1- Orochi
2- Who's who
3- Mimawarigumi leader

I don't know why you skip my words/full comment when you want to reply to me, but whatever
 
I never expected a clean 1 v 1 on anyone. When was the last time everyone in the SH crew got a clean 1 v 1 until someone was a victor? Enies lobby? We love powerscale but Oda dont care for that. I think some are underestimating the Tobi roppo too. If Kaido is even entertaining the idea that the All Star seats can be taken, that must mean they can be taken. So the tobbi roppo as far as Im concerned, are strong af.
 





This arc is not just the culmination of a plot that's been going on since the New World started. It is an arc that we went into with the information that this is what everything since chapter one has been leading to. After this, Luffy and Shanks will be ready to meet again.

I fundamentally disagree with anyone who suggests that a suitable conclusion to this plot point twenty years in the making is Zoro and Sanji having a life and death fight with third tier Beast Pirates, who's only achievement thus far is passive-aggressive arrogance. I'm supposed to be falling over myself in awe of these guys because they don't come running like a dog when King whistles? I'm supposed to believe that Zoro received Oden's sword to beat Who's friggin Who? That Sanji is having to use his hated families technology in order to beat Sasaki? While Luffy is busy fighting the World's Strongest Creature and his three most powerful, trusted subordinates are being beaten by some other guys?
 
I'm just gonna wait and see and keep myself out of this lol. I'm a fan of the characters, not just the Strawhats. If Zoro, Sanji and Jinbe fight the Calamities, awesome. I'd be super happy. If Marco, Kid and Inu/Neko fought the Calamities while Luffy's top 3 grew to surpass Tobi Roppo captains or Numbers, also great in my book.

Really it's a win-win scenario to me. I at least want everyone to get a fight/some exposure, and this arc seems to be the first since the timeskip allowing that to happen
 
i also want Fight Like Zoro Vs Mr1 very hard Fight that Zoro will have Very Hard Time in it and Will Learn Something New also jing seems to be Fast zoro probably will need to improve his CoO in fight i dont think Zoro Vs F6 Will be Any thing Like That
same for Sanji - Queen have Virus and Mechanic Weapon if sanji fight him he need to use his Brain and Fight Smartly also queen seems to be Durable sanji will have hard time for Breaking his Defence and will need to improve his DC and CoA

i think SHP need to Gain some thing From They're Fight and grow in fight - fight it self isn't that important for me i perfer to see fights that they will get something from it rather than hype and close fight
Exactly. Let’s see what Oda does, hopefully Zoro and Sanji both fights commanders.
