Tbh when
@Cinera first came out with "Zoro left the timeskip stronger than Luffy" I was like "wtf this guy about". Then I read his explanations (by the time it was still in WCI arc iirc) and it actually made some sense.
But then Luffy got Future Sight, showed Snakeman, got advanced CoA.
And people were like
Luffy left Zoro in the dust
With FS, Zoro has 0% chance to even touch Luffy
Luffy mid diffs
Luffy low diffs
Then act 3 happened. Ulti happened. Apoo happened. Rooftop happened.
Cinera was really right all along. It is impossible to deny now, that Zoro left the timeskip stronger than Luffy.
