1- I said close or (almost equal) not exactly equal..
2- Comparing Katakuri to King is a slander actually... Katakuri fucks that bird 24/7...
3- Both Queen and King introduced together... taunting each other as a remeniscent to Kaku/Jyabura... and both have titles of “King/Queen” which are in the pyramid of power, very very close...
4- Both Oda used them to restrain Big Mom... King kicked Big Mom ship making Big Mom lose her memory by falling to water.. Queen Smashed Big Mom’s head so hard, it “cracked” and she regained her memory back...
5- Oda when he highlighted Marco facing them... he made sure for Marco not to distinguish King from Queen.. Marco literally praised both by saying fighting both of them together is exhausting... he never gave more focus on one above the other...
It’s clear as day that Oda already selled that both are very close in strength in their own way and style of fighting... for you to just deny it now this late is the first sign of what I said... the nightmare you are afraid of... which is Zoro after healing facing an opponent who’s really close to Sanji’s opponet... thus the Sanji/Zoro rivalry is back and stronger than ever
1-Just because one is YC1 and the other is YC2 dosent mean they are "almost equal", its like saying King is "almost equal" to Kaido just because Kaido is just one position higher than him, makes no sense.
2-Please tell me everything you know about King's sword skills and Hybrid that no one has seen yet, the only thing Katakuri has going for him is CoO, and thats only that, seeing how he couldnt even KO Luffy while fighting him for 12 hours with the massive advantage of being able to predict the future.
3-refer to point 1, if they are close in strenght, why Queen just easily accepts King as superior? You said it yourself, King tittle is better than the Queen tittle.
4-Being heavy is not a feat.
5-Yet Marco is fighting 1v1 against King now.
