Current Events The reason Oda keeps Gorosei away from Zoro

[Topi Jerami]

If cursed blades get that ability, it automatically makes zoro a cheater like the rest of them

Like, he literally had the counter to 5 of the EoS enemies at chapter 100...

It is not a cheat. The sword basically chose Zoro so Zoro earned it

"Counter to EoS enemies" well to be fair it is nothing new with that
In act 2 we know advanced CoA is the way to damage Kaido's dragon skin, and Zoro already got it since Alabasta arc. Meaning Alabasta Zoro could already hurt Kaido more than act 1 Boundman who did 0 damage.

Doffy and Kaido weren't escape arcs.

And I agree that Zoro is probably going to defeat a Gorosei but you guys are setting the dominos to fall if you think he's going to do any better than Luffy or even Sanji

He will. There is a reason Oda protects the Gorosei in debut arc away from Zoro (and his cursed sword).

there's levels to acoa and coa though.

Alabasta zoro vs Kaido would be like a needle poke against a Rhino

That's kinda trash.

Anyone stronger than Loge town zoro would be able to wield Sandai. And that's basically every single significant pirate/character in the grandline and newworld.


Like, imagine if Bonney had Sandai or any other cursed sword when she stabbed Saturn.

He'd be dead now if that was their weakness.

Doesn't that seem kinda ridiculously idiotic to you? A top tier getting shanked by an ungraded sword and just dying?


I'm certain that their weakness is gonna be something else entirely.

 

[Marimo_420]

How can they be so lethal if they have never killed anybody on screen

How do you expect someone like Oda to show killing in One Piece? The two executioners who killed Roger are the most lethal characters in OP going by that standard.

Zoro scarred kaido on his deathbed pre acoc, and took out a lunarian in one hit. If we say at least the two swordmen Shanks and Mihawk are above Zoro, they're all pretty lethal.

The one Zoro did in Alabasta was advanced CoA, it fitted words per words with advanced CoA description in act 2 Wano.
The damage might be small from Alabasta Zoro but still better than act 1 Boundman.

That's kinda trash.

What do you think the weakness will be?
Let's say their weakness is being too close with Mother Flame like what I read here before. By that logic, while they are being close with Mother Flame, someone like Franky can also kill them too with simple beam

That's even more trash than cursed sword, because not everyone can use sword well. Look at what Luffy tried to do in Wano.

 

[Blazing Lion]

Oda always keeps the villains that he wants to protect away from Zoro. If we get a Zoro fight then Egghead is no longer an escape arc, or they will escape but after defeating the opponents.

 

[Crush]

In actuality Oda is just making sure that Zoro's first confrontation with an elder is with Venus. It'll be a grand meeting

 

[Fleet Leader Fenaker]

I doubt the solution is cursed swords but it is interesting that Zoro hasn't interacted with any of them

It's another Kaido plot, Oda made Zoro getting lost to make Kaido embrassing Post WCI Luffy or Zoro would have embrassed Kaido's Dragon scales or even using Asura to overpower him in 1 v 1

You all remember the AP needed to injure an adult Lunarian in Flame ON mode or even making him switching to Flame OFF is at least KoH Sword style .

 

[SakazOuki]

 

[Buggy D Clown]

No it's not, and when he does eventually face them he won't have any more success than Luffy or Sanji. Nobody is beating them here.

Yes it is lol

 

[RyoQ]

Yes it is lol

Luffy fought Gorisei, nothing's happened

Sanji's fought one, nothing's happened

Oh but when Zoro fights one, it will die or he figures out their weakness

 

[Buggy D Clown]

You are projecting your own insecurity onto what I said.
All I said was that it's interesting that he hasn't interacted with them, I said nothing about how the interaction would go.

 

[Foul Legacy]

We have seen Nika and the Giants fighting Warcry, Ju Peter and Saturn. We have seen Sanji jobbing to Nusjuro. We also have seen the other Straw Hats fighting Saturn.
But why does Oda keep hiding the Gorosei from Zoro?

Maybe is it the similar reason Oda kept Zoro away when Kaido one shotted act 1 Boundman?

Considering what happened in Rooftop and all:

that would ruin Kaido's dragon skin hype and also embarrassed Boundman, made him looked like a total weakling.

Back to Gorosei, so maybe, Zoro really has the answer to Gorosei's hax / regeneration. And the answer is being attacked with Cursed Swords can stop or cripple Gorosei's regeneration.
I have played a game named Pokemon Unite. Just like Gorosei, there are pokemons with overpowered and annoying regeneration, named Goodra and Scizzor. There are also healers who can keep their teammates alive with overpowered healing like Clefable, Umbreon and Blissey.
And the counter to those regeneration / healing is items named Cursed Incense and Cursed Bangle. Said items can cripple regeneration.

So, Zoro's cursed swords is probably the answer to stop Gorosei's hax / regeneration, just like seastone can negate DF power. And since Egghead is their debut arc, naturally Oda wants to protect their hype, by keeping them away from Zoro.

Thoughts?

Let clowns and trolls hate as much as they want.

Oda keeps Zoro away , so that Others can shine.
Luffy first Encounter with Yonkou - Bigmam we know how it went
Zoro First Encounter with Yonkou - Kaidou we know how it went

Luffy was incapable of doing anything yet Zoro was the MVP on rooftop.

Luffy First Encounter with Admiral (Post time skip) - Fujitora , Fujitora wasn't even impressed and held back all the time because he never wanted to capture luffy.
Zoro first encounter with Admiral - Fujitora , Fujitora was outright pushed back and Zoro was succesful to make Fujitora realize Zoro is dangerous.

Same logic will be followed with Gorosei.
Luffy first Encounter with Gorosei - Saturn , All useless attempts , with zero damage and he can't even hurt Warcury.

Zoro first Encounter with Gorosei will changes things up.
Zoro is a swordsman , The very base definition of Swordsman is they cut what they want to.
Luffy has used Haki in past on Promotheus but legit no damage.
Zoro used (Not haki) but sword skill to cut Promotheus. Promotheus was in pain and couldn't recover for a while.

The gorosei coicidently have Scars from cuts , Saturn , Jupiter...
Immortality is showcased just like kaidou invulnerability to damage.
Kaidou took zero damage in Kuri , Act 1
Saturn took zero damage in egghead ,

Luffy pushed and threw around both of them. Kaidou one shotted luffy there and Oda being respectful to current luffy , is only making him run away this time.

 

[RyoQ]

All I said was that it's interesting that he hasn't interacted with them, I said nothing about how the interaction would go

It's really interesting that Jinbei hasn't interacted with the Gorosei (no it isn't, if he did nothing would happen lol)

 

[nik87]

Yes, it is for the same reason why he kept Zoro away from Kaido in Kuri.
Nobody gets to look mighty and competent against post-TS Zoro.
It is simply a fact. Zoro is too powerful for the villains to keep their hype.
So when the job is to hype villains, you got remove Zoro from the scene.

Whether he has some kind of anti-regen properties, it is unknown for now.
The fumes in King of Hell state are certainly weird and colored green.
Which is the same color as Brook's soul powers.
Those fumes could somehow bypass their regeneration perhaps.

And there is a fact that they are demons while Zoro is a Demon God.
Basically their boss, they just don't know it yet.
He will whip them in line soon enough.
They should enjoy a Zoro-free zone as long as they can.

 

[Kumathegoat]

Gorosei are no match for grandmaster Zoro

Yeah same goes for Jinbei. There was no need to seperate him from the other SHs

 

[Thaidakar]

Exactly. Or when you want luffy to look less incompetent.

Just look at the 500 Saturn-Kizaru-Luffy-Bonney stare down chapters. Ffs, if Zoro were there Saturn would have eaten a Bird Dance the second his magical ass appeared.

See how luffy was shocked? Cause woro gets things done.

 

[ShadowStyle369]

Adv Coc…. Haki transcends ALL

 

[kumae]

Real reason is because is an escape arc like WC and elders are neither here to fight or like in wano he was the last one to interact with a yonko
