Don’t worry, Zoro will treat WsW like T-Bone if they fight. “He’s strong” -> proceeds to one shot and move on with his day
:cheers:
With the way Zoro is being portrayed with the WG captains, I don’t think he’ll be getting the same treatment as Jimbei and Sanji.
Its just my thought in the matter. I understand how Oda portrays Zoro considering his actual dream is pretty analagous to Luffy's in a way.
But I also think we aren't at all close to the physical end of this story. There are plenty of future villains to be faced and I think there is still tons of room to grow there. On that note I don't personally see Luffy "actually" surpassing Kaido in terms of being the "strongest" creature.
In fact, I see Kaido going down pretty unfairly to maintain that title. If Luffy beat Kaido solo or at least without some handicap, it trivializes any future battle he has because Kaido is virtually unbeatable in a 1v1. "When a 1v1, always bet on Kaido" is the key dialogue here. Kaido is allegedy unstoppable solo, which is why I think it has to be an "Oars-esque" type fight anyway, and it will allow Luffys fights against Akainu, Shanks or BB to NOT be trivialized, because they aren't the WSC.
So either through BM helping, or Zoro, Marco, Kid, Law, etc all fighting Kaido with Luffy, I think Luffy's crew NEEDS to grow by reasonable means. Fighting the F6 isn't an insult. Whos Who wanted to fight Queen with ZERO fear. I frankly think we have more potentially of getting a better reward out of Jinbe vs. Sasaki due to their potential of knowing each other as fishmen (assuming Sasaki is one). We have yet to see the upper limit of Page One or Drake, so to say those can't be one of Sanji's battles is disingenuous to those characters.
All I'm saying its its not a big deal of Luffy's crew grows from facing F6 members. Many of them will have a hand in fighting Kaido most likely. And some of them will also go on to fighting Blackbeard or Shank's YCs or Akainu's admirals.
That last paragraph is my whole point. People shouldn't be fretting all that much. It allows the crew to grow realistically instead of assuming 3 of Luffys crew have surpassed people that Luffy barely managed to an arc before after 9+ hours of fighting EACH.
Its also why I can see Luffy fighting Jack, Queen or King to show how much he's grown from Katakuri. The battle won't be a 9 hour feat, plus he probably won't solo Kaido (he'll get the final blow for sure and some 1v1 moments) so he's probably merited something prior. Kind of also why I'm hoping there is an Ace, but doubtful now
