Reborn

Throughout Heaven & Earth,I alone am d Honored One
His swords being coated means nothing

Because of enma , CoC was unleashed

He never sat and said "I need to To gain more power to beat King"
The whole battle was him trying to figure out King's race and weakness, and mainly how to tame Enma

Luffy personally wanted and got fs to combat Kata
Zoro got coc to tame Enma. King is an afterthought

If Oda wanted Zoro to get CoC to beat King, he won make the whole chapter about Zoro trying to tame Enma but rather zoro trying to figure out King's weakness and says I'm gonna surpass you or whatever.
If he wanted to control just enma then he would have CoC coating only on Emma and not on all of his 3 swords.



How can you can't understand this simple logic is beyond my understanding..oh wait... I got it. Kidd doesn't have AdCoC so feeling insecure.. right?:milaugh:
 
So decided to do a Vs. Chapter summary to compare when Oda does 1 chapter fights vs 2+. I'm also only including Strawhat Vs chapters but not Luffy, as non-strawhats and Luffy have vastly different battles and priorities in this manga. Keep note that Vs. titles in this series are pretty rare, and didn't really start for the crew outside of Luffy until Arlong (and then didn't occur again until Skypiea).

Also, it's important to note that the "Vs." chapter doesn't really signify a pattern, It can be the last chapter of a 3 chapter fight, or the first as you'll see below.


1 Chapter Fights:

Arlong Park:
"Three Swords vs. Six" (三刀流対六刀流, "Santōryū tai Rokutōryū")
"Heroism vs. Fish-Man Cruelty" (騎士道VS魚人空手, "Kishidō vs. Gyojin Karate")

Skypiea:
"Pirate Zoro vs. Warrior Braham" (海賊ゾロVS戦士ブラハム, "Kaizoku Zoro vs Senshi Burahamu")
"Pirate Chopper vs. Vassal Gedatsu" (海賊チョッパーVS神官ゲダツ, "Kaizoku Choppā vs Shinkan Gedatsu")
"Pirate Nami and the Weird Knight vs. Heavenly Warriors Subcommanders Hotori and Kotori" (海賊ナミと変な騎士VS副神兵長ホトリとコトリ, "Kaizoku Nami to Hen na Kishi vs Fukushinpeichō Hotori to Kotori")
"Pirate Robin vs. Heavenly Forces Commander Yama" (海賊ロビンVS神兵長ヤマ, "Kaizoku Robin vs Shinpeichō Yama")
"Pirate Chopper vs. Vassal Ohm" (海賊チョッパーVS神官オーム, "Kaizoku Choppā vs Shinkan Ōmu")
"Pirate Zoro vs. Vassal Ohm" (海賊ゾロVS神官オーム, "Kaizoku Zoro vs Shinkan Ōmu")

Thriller Bark:
"Pirate Zoro vs. Samurai Ryuma" (海賊ゾロVS侍リューマ, "Kaizoku Zoro VS Samurai Ryūma")
"Pirate Chopper vs. Mystery Man Hogback" (海賊チョッパーVS怪人ホグバック, "Kaizoku Choppā VS Kaijin Hogubakku")

Wano:
"Jimbei vs. Who's-Who" (ジンベエVSフーズ・フー, "Jinbē Bāsasu Fūzu Fū")


2+ Chapter Fights:

* Alabasta never labeled its chapters as Vs. fight titles, but they lasted 2-3 chapters each. Just something worth noting. Its the same with Dressrosa outside of Zoro's fight.

Enies Lobby:

Franky
"Franky vs. Fukurô" (フランキーVSフクロウ, "Furankī vs Fukurō")
"Power" (パワー, "Pawā")

Chopper/Franky
"Life Return" (生命帰還, "Seimei Kikan")
*Franky wins here, Chopper's fight starts here.

Chopper
"Monster" (モンスター, "Monsutā")
"Monster vs. Kumadori" (怪物VSクマドリ, "Monsutā vs Kumadori")

Nami
"Super-Size Nami" (ナミ巨大化, "Nami Kyodaika")
"Nami vs. Kalifa" (ナミVSカリファ, "Nami VS Karifa")
"You Missed Your Chance" (好機は終わった, "Chansu wa Owatta")
* Note that Nami actually won mid chapter in Chapter 412. Its not a full 3 chapter fight.

Sanji
"Sanji vs. Jabra" (サンジVSジャブラ, "Sanji VS Jabura")
"Heat Up" (ヒートアップ, "Hīto Appu")

Zoro
"Zoro vs. Kaku" (ゾロVSカク, "Zoro VS Kaku")
"Asura" (阿修羅, "Ashura")


Thriller Bark:

Sanji
"Pirate Sanji vs. Mystery Man Absalom" (海賊サンジVS怪人アブサロム, "Kaizoku Sanji VS Kaijin Abusaromu")
"Sanji's Dream" (サンジの夢, "Sanji no Yume")

Usopp
"Pirate Usopp vs. Mystery Woman Perona" (海賊ウソップVS怪人ペローナ, "Kaizoku Usoppu VS Purinsesu Perōna")
"Conclusion" (決着, "Ketchaku")

*Note that the above fights are more like 1.5 chapters each. Sanji's fight starts halfway through the vs. chapter and ends early the next chapter. Usopp's is part of "Sanji's Dream", then ends early in "Conclusion" because part of that chapter is the conclusion of Zoro vs Ryuma before Oda goes back in time.

Dressrosa:

Zoro
"Zoro vs. Pica" (ゾロVSピーカ, "Zoro Bāsasu Pīka")
"Tactics No. 5"

* Zoro is the only person (outside of Law) that has a Vs. Chapter title in DR). Not even Luffy has one. Many of the fights are 1 chapter each, but no Vs. titles.


Wano:

Robin
"Robin vs. Black Maria" (ロビンvs.ブラックマリア, "Robin Bāsasu Burakkumaria")
"Demonio" (デモニオ)


So you can see, even Wano barely fits the mold of Vs. titles, and there aren't too many examples to go by in this manga outside of Luffy. Like he didn't give one to Franky in DR and Wano, but did in Enies Lobby. He gave 1 chapter to Jinbe but 2 to Robin. Even more interesting is the difference between both 1 or 2 chapter titles is fairly close (11 vs 10 respectively), so there actually isn't a solid determination to what Oda is going to do.


Tldr: Past chapter titles actually seem to have no bearing on when a fight will or can end. Sanji vs. Queen can end this chapter, 1035 or 1036 and there would be an example above that would support any scenario. Hell, Sanji could win mid chapter in either subsequent chapters and it still would be supported by a past example.

There are FAR more non-Vs. chapters with fights than there are Vs. chapter titles.

Also RIP my lunch lol


Edit: The only thing I'd say it does suggest is that the fight will end soon (i.e. same chapter or 1 to 2 more chapters), as every single vs title suggests this. This is why you haven't seen "Zoro vs King" or "Sanji vs Queen" in earlier chapters, even though they've received plenty of fight panels.
