Questions & Mysteries The Straw hats won’t have a vice captain like Roger Pirates

#44
I'm a solid Sanji fan but Zoro is undoubtedly the VC right from the start. My boy is a cook, Jimbei is the helmsman, if Yamato joins then she'll transcribe the journey just like how Oden did it.

Amongst all the SHs, Zoro is the only one who has no other purpose than fight and sleep. And that entitlement is only just for a VC.

Also just looking at the parallels, you could clearly determine who is who.

I kinda disagree with that.

Zoro is the only one in the crew who openly challenges Luffy's decisions and tells him what he should and shouldn't do. Like when Luffy was gonna let Ussop come back to the crew without apologizing in the Water Seven/Enies Lobby Arc.

Zoro is the only other Straw Hat who is a Superonava alongside Luffy, and in the Saboady Arc, other Supernovas even commented how Zoro was more fearsome and prominent than even his captain.

Zoro is the only one who freely criticizes Luffy whenever he chooses to if he sees Luffy not in the right mind or not living up to Zoro's standard of what he expects from his own captain.

Zoro IS the Vice Captain, the thing about Zoro that is different from most other vice captains is that he only challenges the captain or make decisions on the captain's behalf if he really NEEDS to. If the situation doesn't call for it, he'll go along with whatever decision Luffy decides for the rest of the crew.

He's the more laid back and reserved kind of vice captain, not the controlling and tyrannical type.

In a lot of ways Zoro as Luffy's vice captain is a lot like how Ben Beckman is to Shanks, or Rayleigh is to Roger. They allow their captain's antics and follow their decisions and leadership, unless the situation really calls for the Vice Captain to step in.

Furst rule of becoming a vc - you need to be as strong as the captain (fact)
What are you talking about? Was Jango as strong as Kuro? Is Mohji as strong as Buggy even though the one he fought to a draw was Cabaji? Is Boo as strong as Sai even though the character who defeated the former was obliterated by the latter? Was Aladine as strong as Jinbe even though the only direct comparison we ever had was between Jinbe and Tiger?

You should check your facts. First you were wrong about Urouge, now about first mates being as strong as captains.

Based on early pre ts, you could say zoro will be VC just like rayleigh was for roger. PRE TS

marineford oda introduced the concept of multiple right hands commanders. WB had 16 all equal in rank. was marco strongest? maybe, but all 16 equal, not vice captain rank


BB crew follows same pattern as his old crew, 10 giant captains.

BB had 3 sweet commanders

kaidou has 3 calamities

shanks has 10 guys close to eachother


SHs keeps getting strong guys like yamato, jimbei, sanji, so they will be the 4 commanders, zoro, sanji, jimbei, yamato. will zoro be a little strongesr then the rest? maybe. will he be vice captain? no
Does it matter? Zoro still parallels Rayleigh and therefore he's the second in command with or without the Vice Captain title..
Sanji need to follow Zoro's orders.
