I don't see why Zoro can't be recognized as a secondary savior alongside Luffy.
Unlike Luffy, Zoro is 99% likely to actually be from Wano. He is a samurai. Thematically, doesn't it make sense for Wano to have one of their own to look at as a protective figure, considering Orochi & Kaido have shit on the samurai and called them weaklings since the beginning of the arc?
Thriller Bark is an arc that's heavily tied to Wano:

Thriller Bark is an arc that's heavily tied to Wano:
- It was the first time that Wano was mentioned & the first time Kaido was foreshadowed as a future villain
- Like Kaido, Oars was a member of the Oni race
- We found out about Ryuma for the first time in TB, and that was followed up in Wano
- Zoro received Shusui in TB, and returned it in Wano
- The list goes on
People legit want zoro to be the the hero of wano and outshine luffy. To people that just want zoro to kill kaido i don't really care or mind much
People acting like zoro should be the mc is dumb
