Character Discussion Luffy & Zoro Parallels All Throughout One Piece

Candybois: But..but…Oda drew a cover request by a fan in which Zoro and Sanji are shown as rivals, so that means Zoro and Sanji are equal and real duo.
Also: they appeared together sometimes, so they must be on par!

... then when Luffy and Zoro appear together in a shit ton of panels and cover and battle scenes, conveniently that doesn't mean anything...
 
Same equal score in the databook power ranking



Battling 1 vs 1 to a perfect draw in a serious fight



Equal portrayal of their strength - 1



Equal portrayal of their strength - 2



Equal portrayal of their strength - 3



Equal portrayal of their strength - 4



Together against the Yonkos as "pirates leading the next generation"



Fighting against YC1s



Making the other Worst Generation Supernovas shocked when they see their power



Haoshoku Haki duo that makes Wano tremble



Both destined to reach the top of the world as the Pirate King and the World Strongest Swordsman and the PK's Right Hand



In the covers and color spreads most of times Oda puts Luffy and Zoro together at the center, separating them from the others















@Finalbeta @Blother @T.D.A @Zowo @yorosenpai @ConquistadoR @Fenaker @The White Crane @Blother @kumae @Geo @Sentinel @Orojackson Refugee @Peroroncino @Redboy776 @Rekien @Sword God Ryuma @nik87
Yes I think they have been fairly equal for almost the entire duration of the series.

The only time in which Zoro stood clearly above was post Enma training prior to Luffy's recent power creep and expecially prior ACoC development

Monster duo :cheers:
 
Update with some other parallels!

Luffy and Zoro both being Kings in their own way (like Roger and Rayleigh) and both being Advanced Conqueror Haki users, wielders of the powers of the èlites of the One Piece world (as per Kaido's very words "only a handful of the very strongest can")



Luffy and Zoro receive the same equal score in the databook power ranking (Sanji has a lesser score)



The First Mate Zoro sets up the standards for the Captain Luffy





The databook states that Zoro has power level very similar to Luffy, if not more or less equal to his



The two Kings and Conqueror Haki users in the Strawhats.
Monkey D. Luffy, the King of Pirates.
Roronoa Zoro, the King of Hell, the World's Strongest Swordsman.




Luffy and Zoro battling 1 vs 1 to a perfect draw, in a serious fight with named moves, where they challenge each other to show who is the strongest



A fight so serious that they absolutely do not want to get interrupted





Both Luffy and Zoro having Top Tiers as their benchmarks to reach ad surpass. And there two benchmarks, Shanks and Mihawk, are rivals and extremely close in power one each other.



Equal portrayal of their strength - 1



Equal portrayal of their strength - 2



Equal portrayal of their strength - 3



Equal portrayal of their strength - 4



Equal portrayal of their trainings and power ups



Luffy and Zoro together against the Yonkos as "pirates leading the next generation" (Sanji wasn't brought here, he wasn't even made a Supernova)







Luffy and Zoro fighting against YC1s Katakuri and King



Both Luffy and Zoro being an inspiration for Sanji



Luffy and Zoro shocking the other Worst Generation Supernovas with their power



Luffy and Zoro as Haoshoku Haki duo



Why/how isn't he a captain/the captain?





Luffy and Zoro are PARTNERS (aibo) just like Roger and Rayleigh, and Kidd and Killer



Mihawk recognize them as a duo "YOU TWO MAKE A GOOD TEAM. I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TWO AGAIN"



Both Luffy and Zoro are destined to reach the top of the world:
The Pirate King, and the World Strongest Swordsman plus the PK's Right Hand




Their first great bounties together



They are both equally portrayed as so strong that it's impossible to keep up with them





Monster Duo: always together, act the same, behave the same, feel the same









Luffy and Zoro both take the lead of the Rocket Man sea train and of the crew.
Everyone depends on them. As captain (Luffy) and vice captain/first mate/right hand man/number two/second strongest (Zoro).
Notice not only how Oda chose to draw both them, and only the two of them, in this leading position.
Oda also has the two of them act and behave exactly the same. It's wonderful. They are like lost born brothers.




In the covers and color spreads most of times Oda puts Luffy and Zoro together at the center
And he visually isolates them from the others

Zoro will one day possibly become the World's Strongest just like Ryuma was said to be at least. That would be astoundingly great if it happened.

The databook is pushing it by stating Cook's strength as a 5. It should have been 4 max. His AP is very clearly much inferior to Luffy's, let alone to Zoro's.

Otherwise, thanks for the info. :cheers:
 
Salty that Luffy and Zoro share a lot of things together:risitasad:
Post automatically merged:

If yo're not going to say nothing relevant gtfo
Not salty just aware that this whole thread is a sad attempt to imply zoro is equal or near luffy strength wise.

Despite the fact luffy beat someone on Kings level like an arc ago before he got multiple powerups and is capable of beating him in base. Luffy is literally fighting kaido 1v1 albeit weakened.

Just know that these threads only go one way luffy fans don't make threads like this because its so obvious how much stronger luffy is.

Nobody here is talking about strength. Luffy Zoro has been portrayed as a duo from the east blue and have given multiple parallels more than that of Zoro and Sanji.
