I don't like Mid because he is treated in the manga as zoro is treated by his fans. The guy don't do anything besides stealing the credit for things that better characters did. the good part is that very few people are dumb enough to like this character.
If I pick in general it would be Zoro. Not because of the character by itself but because of 2 things: his fans and his fights.
Wow, what the fuck did you smoke when reading the fight against BM?
First: BM was put in the fight as if she was in the middle of her hunger pains. She absolutely forgot 9/10 of her repertoire.
Second: both law and kid activated cheat codes. Law had infinite stamina and kid invincibility. The guy took sword attacks with his face without a scratch while almost unconscious. The writing of the fight was shit.
Third: Even with all the advantages he did nothing outside of his final attack. Even the broken arm of BM was clearly stated to be Law's doing and not his. His super gun was so shit that BM was just laughing and waiting for it to end to kick his ass.
The fight was shit. The writing was one of the worst in the raid and even with everything in his favor he was unable to even scratch BM. Law was the one that did all the job and everyone knows that he will never get so many free things again in the manga.
Kid is pathetic.

NARRATIVE
I have a couple things I wished for Kidd this Arc too, which are Ad. CoC and lifting Onigashima Giant Sword. But:
Long story short, I don't understand this big drama you are making (I remember seeing you arguing in Kidd's favor in the past) when Kidd got one of the best Fan Expectations/Manga Reality ratios out of this Arc.
If you ask me who got the best and worst results of such ratio, the best easily goes to Killer while the worst goes to either Luffy or Zoro.
Kidd didn't make a 10/10 but not even a 7 or 6/10 to me, he got a solid 8,5/10.
Maybe even 9/10.
- Luffy defeated an Emperor (1v1 after a progressive 15v1 including Scabbards, R5, Yamato/Momo). He Lost SEVERAL time in the process, even dying at one point.
- Kidd defeated an Emperor (clean 2v1 with Law, when Linlin was full power and undamaged). He even suffered outside interference DURING the battle and still kept the flow.
PORTRAYAL
- Got the same bounty (3,000,000,000), with the highest bounty bump of the whole serie (+2,530,000,000).
- Got several equal comparisons (Captains, Wisdom Kings).
- 2 Road Poneglyphs owner, making him a genuine competitor for the One Piece.
NARRATIVE
- Oda already made sure to make clear that Kidd already has a relevant new objective (Flame Scar Man). This throws all the "Kidd will be unrelevant after this Arc" arguments straight into the trashcan. Like they belonged anywhere else in the first place...
- Relationship with his partner, Killer, was flashed out a lot in the arc, putting solid bases for the future childhood flashback.
I have a couple things I wished for Kidd this Arc too, which are Ad. CoC and lifting Onigashima Giant Sword. But:
- Onigashima Sword was just a personal headcanon of mine. It didn't happen? Fuck it, we move on.
- Ad. CoC is only postponed to another arc lol, we got Awakening for now. Ad. CoC is still coming to complete the package.
