Zoro is the N2 / right-hand man
Sanji is the N3 / left-hand man
So they aren't equals
N2 > N3
Right-hand man > Left-hand man*
*most organizations don't even have a left-hand man
Zoro is #2 only insofar as being the second member of the crew.
It has never been more than that, and it never will.
The refusal to accept this simple fact is rooted in the same entitled nonsense Zoro stans engage in over everything else.
You’re all such victims because those that can read and accept what is don’t indulge you on what you think should be.
There normally isn’t a LHM because the term RHM is based on limb dominance. 9/10 people are right handed.
Usually when there is a LHM, that’s because they provide Wa commensurate or equal value.
The Wings metaphor speaks for itself on that front.
Unlike Zoro, Rayleigh was both RHM and Wing to Roger. I would’ve preferred they stuck to arms/hands for clarity.
