Why are you so against the possibility of Zoro defeating someone? Like really, Of all the characters to not get a fight and defeat someone you pick Zoro??? Thats not a smart move. Even if he's injured Zoro still has a higher chance of getting a legit fight and defeating someone than any other strawhat besides Luffy......... And I know it hurts to hear but thats the truth. It has been 14-15 Years since The Strawhat Crew outside of Luffy and Zoro has had a legit 1v1 fight and defeated someone not fodder.
