Luffy back in the east blue was able to dent and destroy Don kriegs wootz steel armor with enough attacks
He also is shown breaking through some Franky Family’s steel armor
As for Mr. 3’s armor first off it’s harder than iron not steel that’s just a mistranslation but second off density definitely matters and it took luffy a bunch of concentrated attacks to destroy steel. It wasn’t at all a casual feat f
Zoro not being able to cut iron was a big deal pre alabasta. It was only after daz that he could cut iron such as the iron cloud, iron body, iron cannonballs, etc.
Daz himself being made of iron
It also says iron here too
We also have 2 clear cut cases of zoro outright saying he can cut iron but not steel
Sanji refers to them as being made of some type of steel. With zoro on top of that emphasizing that he can’t cut them because they’re tougher than iron
Tho tbf while Zoro couldn’t straight up cut steel pre timeskip with his so he should definitely be able to dent/damage it and he did
Chopper in arm and monster point also might’ve been able to dent iron and even steel along with the monster trio pre timeskip. The chopper fact isn’t really relevant I just think it’s funny and cool for him lol
Post timeskip the monster trio have all grown strong enough to all casually deal with steel
Another tbf to both luffy and zoro
- Blunt damage is a lot more effective than cutting when it’s something zoro can't cut. Like pre alabasta luffy having to an easier time denting it while zoro couldn’t yet cut it
- When zoro can cut something it’s going to be a lot easier and more effective for him to get past it than luffy. Again with iron post timeskip zoro can cut through iron like it’s butter. While iron isn’t a big deal at all for post skip he dents it instead
FMI being a good example of the second point
Zoro vs iron
Luffy vs iron. Idk how they managed to mistranslate it to strel
Last point and slightly off topic Lucci wank. Man casually did something even fuckin zoro couldn’t which is insane. Lucci was a monster
