General & Others Sanji vs Lafitte theory

We have been following the strawhats' journey from the very beginning and we know Zoro is not the VC. Anything the Navy, Urouge or Barto say is inconsequential. Urouge hasn't even met all of them, how big are their bounties is the sole thing he knows
The actual Japanese word used by Urouge is 2番手 which doesn't mean vice captain/first mate but roughly translates to 2nd in place, he is basing this off of the only piece of information he can which is Zoros bounty (similar to Black Maria referring to Sanji as the 2nd in place bounty wise), that was in fact the 2nd highest. Rayleigh on the other hand is called 副船長 which does mean vice captain, as well as 右腕 which means "right arm", note that these words have never been used to describe Zoro in any of the Japanese sources.
In fact Oda himself confirmed that Zoro wasn't the first mate in an SBS where he was asked about the "numbers 2s" color spread where he says, "That cover, huh? Similar to Zoro, not all of those characters have the title of first mate. I selected the No. 2s as I saw fit. Usually, Shachi and Penguin are more dependable, but those two—who have seen Bepo's Sulong form—are no match for Bepo in terms of fighting power...! I acknowledge him." Now Oda in SBS volume 73 refers to both Zoro and Sanji as the "wings", he later on put this in the manga through Robin( same kanji). That statement stands as the only somewhat official special title that Zoro holds which separates him from the rest of the crew, besides the " combatant" role that he is always listed as holding. Now I do see Zoro as Luffys "right hand man" as I see Sanji as the "left" but this is purely based off of the wings title(alongside general portrayal) and not because the word is officially used by Oda for Zoro or Sanji.

Pizarro and shiryu are paired because lafitte is on mission
It's usually the first introduction which says everything
Oda did calamities interaction be similar to Shiryu and Lafitte interaction with Burgess
That's no coincidence
Also pizarro doesn't order or lead other BBP while Queen and Lafitte lead the crews even when King & Shiryu are around
