Great thread but isn't the most powerful also the most free.
No because Kaido was the strongest and yet not the freest. This freedom Luffy dreams about isnt power to beat anyone in his way, 2 top tiers will always be enough to prevent that so thats not the freedom he desires.
Zoro doesn't desire nothing but strength. He desires to be the Strongest in a specific fighting style. He doesn't want to be the WSM, he wants to be the WSS. He doesn't want to be the strongest among everyone in the World, he wants to be the Strongest among everyone with a Sword. How can you get such a pivotal aspect of your favorite character so wrong? If he desired nothing but strength, he'd want to be the Strongest among everyone. He's clearly driven by an agenda for wanting to specifically be the WSS. He just happens to need strength to accomplish it. That reveal will come during his fight with Mihawk.
One guy desires freedom and becomes god that is free to do anything he imagines.
The other desires strength and becomes a god that triples one's power.
But yeah, even with tripled power he is still weaker than non-swordsmen...
It's time to stop coping and accept Zoro as #1 in OP world because he manifested Power in god form and since DF doesnt exist, he is the first one in all of history to desire power so much that it takes a god form.
It was always clear that Zoro will be OPs strongest character but MCbros simply cant digest it... Right?
