I think Zoro just barely surpasses Luffy's old bounty at 1.55 or 1.6

real question, who do you guys like zoro so much? I've always thought his moments were cool, but I feel like at least post skip, he isn't that compelling of a character.

Its kinda like Oda writes zoro as a worst version of Luffy. In that both zoro and Luffy want to achieve similarly lofty goals, but as for Luffy, where we see him go through the trials and tribulations of surpassing enemy after enemy. Zoro just gets sidelined and then Oda gives him a magic sword so he can scar kaido.

Honestly, thinking back on it, I feel like it was a mistake for zoro not to be in whole cake island. He's one of the closest straw hats to sanji and I feel like whole cake island would have been a good place to explore their relationship. Like what if instead of it being Luffy, it was zoro who sanji fought.
I feel like that would have been better, since zoro and sanji actually have some enmity between them. I felt like Luffy vs Sanji honestly wasn't that emotional as we've seen Luffy do similar things before, and I knew sanji didn't mean what he actually said.
Also, if zoro was in the arc, we could have gotten zoro vs smoothie at the end. Zoro gets a full fight with actual difficulty before taking on a literal yonko.
