General & Others Why does Luffy deserve to be captain?

[Finalbeta]

Because he’s the strongest

I would not be too confident on that one

 

[Tai long]

They worked together as bounty hunters Zoro would eventually meet up with them and they would have led him to Mihawk. Instead he joined Luffy before Zoro could reunite with with them

because mihawk would be waiting for zoro in the weakest sea

 

[mly90]

But he's not as good of a leader as Luffy.

Take the Sanji situation Zoro would not have been able to handle that situation.

Being a leader is more than just being able to tell people what to do.

A leader needs to inspire and know when to fight (Like when Luffy told Zoro to stand down with Bellamy). Luffy is an exceptional leader on all counts which is why most people want to follow him.

Yes he is when he need to be one it's just that Luffy already occupies that role, Zoro has the ability to inspire just take a look at this cover page for example

Zoro made name for himself before joining Luffy his fellow bounty hunters johhny and Yosaku had unyielding belief in Zoro and his abilities even when he was facing Mihawk the WSS. This was just the begining of his journey there is no telling how many amazing people would be drawn towards him as he continued his journey to the top

Did Mihawk need to be part of a crew to enter the Grandline and the NW

All the Strawhats inspire people in their own circles. Nami inspires the people on the Island Arlong controlled. Ussop inspires those 3 kids etc.

It's a different level of leadership to be able to go into a country like Dressrosa or Wano and inspire people where they have no idea who Luffy is. Hyogoro for instance had no idea who Luffy was but now believes in him. King Riku and Rebecca put their hopes in Luffy. Zoro doesn't really inspire people or is able to lead people on the level Luffy can which is part of the reason Zoro isn't as good as being a leader as Luffy.

Didnt Zoro inspire people to push the Birdcage including freaking Admiral himself?
Didnt he inspire Mihawk, the WSS, to shape him into his future opponent who can satisfy his thirst for battle? :yasu:
Just you wait to see the inspiration he pulls off in the land of samurai.
The King of Hell is no longer sitting on the bench.

Like @nik87 already responded brilliantly how many people did Zoro inspire in Dreerosa how many lives were saved because of his leadership qualities taking initiative.

He inspired the colosseum fighter the whole citizens plus an admiral all following Zoro actions. Even King Riku acknowledges
if it weren't for Zoro brilliant plan thousands upon thousands would lose their lives. You shouldn't have brought up Dressrosa lol too many evidence that contradicts everything you undermine Zoro with

 

[Redboy776]

Na, not realy.

Its actualy very simple.

Zoro is much like a solo figher while Luffy is someone who Can easily socialize with anyone even scrum like Crocodile.

Luffy is someone you Can easily get allong too, just give him meal and drink, be honest and he will likely even let you join him in his aventure.

Unlike Zoro who is more serious, to get Zoro's trust you will need to do more.

Also Zoro even though he is a King he isnt realy interested into pirate, just want to be greatess Greatess Swordman and strong enough to protect the Strawhats.

 

[Herrera95]

resilience to defeat is an attribute that has NEVER been attributed to him

Reread One Piece. Since beginning.

Zoro is way more resilience than Luffy. He fought WSS back in Baratie, when he understood that he had no chance of winning he still faced Mihawk because a scar at the back of a swordsman would be disgraceful.
Different from Luffy that had no problem running from Doflamingo, Katakuri until his 10min haki drawback is over.

Zoro is fighting impossible fights like Mihawk and Mr 1 without running.

Zoro is following Luffy in any stupid decision he takes it.

He's pulled off no inspiration in Wano. He said he'd round up the samurai and didn't do that.

Luffy did.

The samurai believe in and are inspired by Luffy. The scabbards are inspired by Luffy there's a pattern here.

Again Zoro inspired people who already believed in the crew which I never said he couldn't. Zoro is a leader just no where near as good as Luffy.

Zoro was only really shown inspiring Kinemon and Kanjuro in those panels. Franky was shown inspiring more people to be fair.

I don't undermine Zoro. I say Zoro is not as good as leading as Luffy and apparently that's undermining Zoro now because I don't wank his character off?

Stating facts that Luffy is a better leader is apparently undermining christ Zoro fans are delicate aren't they.

 

[York]

Because Luffy is the one who convinced all the other members of the crew to join. If Zoro was captain the crew wouldn't be half as good as what it is now, and they'd be dead. Zoro never had the ambition to be captain of a crew, and he never had any particular drive to go out and make friends with anyone. He can inspire people to act but he's not gonna be like "join my crew" happy like Luffy is. There are countless moments throughout their journey that prove that they have exactly the team they need for the job, and Zoro would not have formed that team. Captain Zoro would not have recruited Sanji. Captain Zoro would not have formed much of a connection with Chopper. Hell, we don't even know if they'd meet Chopper because we don't know whether or not Captain Zoro would've taken even Vivi, or if he would've taken the eternal pose to Alabasta, or what. He wouldn't have wanted Brook(although this is irrelevant because they would've died in Skypeia or Enies Lobby already, because they don't have Chopper and Sanji). He'd never even meet Jinbei.

 

[nik87]

He's pulled off no inspiration in Wano. He said he'd round up the samurai and didn't do that.

You really want that to come back and bite you in the ass?

Correct. Every Strawhat member is best in the world at their own job and this is why Luffy is the best captain(leader) there is.
Just like Zoro is the strongest fighter there is.

 

[Chrono]

Monkey D Theories 🤝 Making Pro Zoro threads so people will actually read his posts

 

[mly90]

Another utter bs the tontatas are actually all admiring Zoro idea here aren't they, from there on they all go along with his idea this is what i mean when i say undermine your insecurity is clouding your judgement you don't have to wank Zoro lol just don't erase or belittle his achievements

 

[PurpleSwordsman]

Zoro's power is below a Red Roc lmao, what are you talking about similar strength

Who is that guy Red Roc?

 

[ShadyOjiro]

Cuz MC.

Prophecy boy, reincarnation or the next X God being ,etc.

 

[Ravagerblade]

Not realizing by now that Zoro is the strongest character in all of One Piece is really interesting.

It's nothing. Because it isn't true. Just a headcanon some weirdos on the internet want.

 

[nik87]

Because it isn't true.

But it is...

[yorosenpai]

True the Ussop situation was a growing moment for Luffy but had Zoro been the actual captain he'd have had to make a decision also rather than stand at the side watching the conflict. Luffy in the end was the one who had to shoulder it Zoro was great support though.

Zoro was not right though. If they left Sanji then Queen wouldn't have been defeated. Situations where Sanji saved Momo or Nami and Robin from Drake and Hawkins. A good leader doesn't cast off people under him and ultimately Luffy's decision as a leader paid off as if Zoro had been leader it wouldn't have paid off as Sanji proved pivotal at certain moments.

If the standard is to use any fight no matter context or time it was to manipulate your agenda why not say Franky is equal to Luffy because in their one and only fight Franky matched Luffy hell he even got the better of him.

We don't do that because we know characters grow. Luffy far exceeded Franky similar to how Luffy has exceeded Zoro from when they had that first fight.

You're the clown saying he's just taking a nap if that's not coping on a grand scale I don't know what is. He Fainted. Simple as that.

At least Luffy fainted off Kaido and not a 60% King who gets low diff'd off Kaido



Keep coping. Luffy vs Kaido and Zoro vs King should tell you everything about how Oda view Luffy and Zoro in strength when it comes to 1 v 1
