Same for now. I won't be too quick to judge. It's a great feat that he's able to hang with pre-CoC Zoro's strongest form, but the last time Zoro said something similar to a character was Pica. Take that for the record.
What's your take on Zoro being comfortable with Lucci's speed and mocking him? Do you respect King's raw skills more now?
Not really a reflection of King...because Zoro was dominating King, was outlanding him by a mile. King was tanking everything and only broke through Zoro's guard for 99% of the fight.
Right now from what I understand has Zoro even landed 1 attack? Offpanel against King he had already landed plenty.
Zoro's reactions have always been top notch, he kept up with Kaku pre skip no problem for majority of the fight, despite Kaku moving much faster than Zoro with soru.
If King was anyone else with the level of reactions he had, Zoro would have mauled him low-mid diff at worst tbh. But he could just tank through all the initial attacks. Zoro was twice as good in CQC, King was just built different.
