You got it all wrong, it's not that he doesnt need to match, HE CANT match it.
100+ hits on Kaido and he cant do what Zoro's 1 hit did.
Too late, Luffy was already declared as a loser against the main boss.
Zoro has marked his target and he is coming back to claim that head.
You can run away from it but you will never be able to hide.
Make sure to be sitting down when you hear the news that Zoro is back up.
