Damn, that must've taken a lot of time
 
Lol, anyone who sets their favorite character to be 'their' arc, are only setting themselves up for disappointment. Unlike fanboys, Oda isn't obliged to give x amount of spotlight to a straw hat. He does as he see how the story fits. The only person who we can expect to have spotlight for every arc is Luffy, cause he is the main character. In Wano right now, we already have the Supernovas, with people like Kidd and Law. So that only means less screen time for the other straw hats, including sanji and zoro.

A lot of people took the 'Year of Sanji' bait back in WCI, promising he'd 1v1 Katakuri. Yet, we didn't get much more than a flashback and a cake baking. I'd probably expect more or less the same for zoro. Probably even less for Zoro since I still don't think Oda's gonna have Wano to be 'Zoro's arc.' Yes Wano is the country of samurai and swordsman, but its also much than that. The only things I expect from zoro are a good fight, and MAYBE, zoro recreating the feats of Ryruma by using his new sword Enma to be able to scar and cut Kaido, just like how Oden did. That would be a pretty big feat for Zoro alone, to be able to scar a yonko, and Kaido the beast no less.

As for 1v1 fights, of course I want zoro to get a good fight and opponent, cause out of the Monster Trio, Zoro still hasn't really gone all out yet. The fights he had in the new world up till now have all been either skirmishes or one shots and low diffs. Because of that we still haven't seen zoro's true strength post time skip. As for his opponents, previously Kiroshiro was my choice, but now he's an ally so that's too bad. My next choice would be King since he also wields a katana. However, given how few strong fighters we have seen from Kaido's crew so far, the 3 calamities might be reserved for other more important characters like Luffy and the other supernovas for example, that's IF Oda doesn't have all 3 of them team up on kaido.

We really need to see more prominent members of kaido's crew before we can come up with better matchups. Cause right now other than the 3 calamities, the rest of kaido's crew don't offer much for 1v1 ones, so much of the crew is filled with fodder and mooks. Headliners like and Hawkins is also no longer an option, since he joined kaido with no choice, its almost certain he will switch sides to the alliance. Drake is an undercover marine. That just leaves us with the likes of Apoo and Page One etc. We really need to see more veteran and high tier fighters from Kaido's crew ( the 'Numbers' maybe?), and hopefully soon too.

There is also the option that maybe zoro can 1v1 Smoothie, now that Big Mon and Kaido are in an alliance. The Big Mom pirates who aren't already defeated (Katakuri, Cracker, Snack etc.) are still up for grabs and available for fights. I'd also like to see more of Daifuku and his genie too. But it's still early to tell if it will happen.

Luffy feed an entire town and freed an entire Prison, freeing thousands of allies to fight in the war and the 5 Yakuza Leaders who then went out to father more allies and weapons for the army.....

*zoro did more meaningful things*

:holdthisl:
Zoro fed the same town together with Luffy lol, it was Zoro who took the food cart while Luffy was playing with Holdem.
Did he free the prison or Queen went away and left prison for the grabbing lol?
Did he secure prisoners as allies or it was Momo? Lol
Yakuza went to take the weapons which were provided thanks to Zoro's sub plot with Gyukimaru...
Keep those L's and order a lot more, they fit you so well. :myman:

Because Luffy lead the charge of getting the food. Zoro got weapons but without people to wield them they were useless... weapons were the easiest things to gather lol

And Ludfy would have wrecked Queen if he had stayed because Queen was damaged from BM and an easy target

So again, Luffy did far more meaningful things. In fact he did Zoro's job because Zoro was the one that was supposed to gather the Samurai and he failed to do it.

So you admit it was Zoro who got the food to feed ppl? Good.
Those people without weapons that Zoro secured are useless as well. Yeah, easiest my ass, it was a two decades of work in a country where weapons are banned by Orochi lmao, you are too salty to think straight.
Lmao so he needed Emperors help to take over the prison and at the same time Queens help since the Emperor was on Luffy's ass... The prison was left for grabbing lmao, Luffy didnt do shit. BM and Queen did literally everything for him.

Luffy didnt do shit, he didnt gather a single samurai in case you didnt notice.
Momonosuke is the one who secured the prisoners as allies bcs they abandoned Luffy as soon as they heard hes a pirate and the samurai are locked in rasetsu prison where Luffy never went in the first place.
"Luffy did more than Zoro" :milaugh:

Luffy lead the charge to deliver everything, which is why they were thanking HIM and not ZORO

Damn, your getting quite the collection here
