you really think he would follow a weaker person.
Don't know, and don't really care about that. I was correcting you on the first part.
Following the above translation we see that Zoro is willing to take over as captain, or could have been following Luffy in moments when they were at least of equal strength. I do think that right now Luffy is somewhat stronger, but there were points in time when they were equal, backed up by databooks, and where Zoro was arguably superior, and where they were neck to neck with a slight edge to Luffy, which I give him due to being the MC. But hopefully, we'll see soon enough.
Also it's NY's day, so forgive me if I don't reply immediately or at all, though I don't really see anything that needs to be said more.
