Morning y’all,
I missed this on the first read but Zoro breaks through King’s mask/armor 2 times in this chapter. One at the beginning that the fodder comment about:
Then when he clashed his Ultra Tiger Hunt w/ King's Tankyudo:
Zoro's attacks are being shown to actually be working against King, and to King’s surprise. King is giving off that Kaido and Big Mom energy here. He’s like “Hm?! I didn’t expect that”
Here is what we can gather from this spoiler for Zoro vs King:
1. Zoro has the better and the stronger version Sanji “sky walk”
2. King's air slashes are straight up stronger than Kaido’s..
3. King is so powerful that he is one of the few (among Big Mom) to send someone flying straight through Onigashima skull making a hole in it.
Big Mom: Fulgora attack
King keeps closing my preconceived gap between him and Kaido. Well when you got a Yonkou who only cares about strength you get King as a first mate. His feats so far are officially above that of Katakuri.
