Fine, I stand corrected that it has a small part of it being related to power level discussion but my point still stands as Chopper was willing to put his life on the line to save Nami.
Did Doffy stop going after the strawhats when Sanji got there? Yes he did. Law saving Sanji doesn't refute this. So you are wrong...
Did Robin try to move Zoro away? Yes or No?
Nami has the vivi card, therefore was using it to her advantage?
Just like each strawhat who work their butts off in the 2 years, the sake of becoming stronger to protect each other. You are putting your own narrative into it, it didn't specify Luffy at all. For all we know it could be for the crew which will make more sense because Zoro saved the others as well imho.
About Usopp.. yeah he ran because he had Robin in his arms and Luffy gave the order for everyone to retreat.
Driving home with each Strawhat will protect one another and has nothing do with since Zoro protect Luffy, he must be his equal. :/
Like I've been saying which you keep ignoring, being willing to put your life on the line for someone is irrelevant to being actually capable of saving the person. That's where powerlevels come in. If Chopper's guard point wasnt strong enough, would he have been able to save Nami?
Why do you keep limiting the point? Sanji's goal was to stop DD from attacking his crew. Sanji momentarily stops him from attacking his crew. However, Sanji was about to be defeated which would mean he would fail to stop DD from attacking his crew. Law comes in and takes DD's attention away and it is this moment where the SHP were able to escape.
> Sanji stalling DD speaks to his power level. It showed that he wasn't complete fodder.
> Sanji being defeated and getting saved by Law shows his power level limits.
> The fact that Law was able to fight DD longer than Sanji shows Law's powerlevels being above Sanji
Yes she tried to move Zoro away at which point she failed in actually moving him away. Without Rayleigh coming in, would Zoro have survived?
That is well and good, however, it is Big Mom's Vivre Card.
For Zoro to be able to protect his captain, he must be at a certain. If you can provide a weaker character who would be able to protect Luffy like Zoro has done since chapter 1001, you can try

No, it does not imply equality. We've seen it with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, the Beast Pirates, and many times in the past with the Straw Hat Pirates. The subordinates will protect the Captain at all cost. Oda seems to be really driving this narrative home with Zoro, ever since got on his knees and asked Mihawk to train him. Zoro will put his own self in harms way, to protect Luffy. Sure, the rest of the Straw Hats will do the same, but why is Zoro getting so much time doing it lately? I'm willing to bet it's because Oda is gearing up to officially name Zoro the Vice Captain of the Straw Hat pirates. It'll happen before Wano's end, and we'll finally get Zoro's intro box.
Being willing to protect your captain is irrelevant to actually being capable. Capability comes from power. If Zoro wasn't at a certain level of strength, he wouldn't be able to perform the feats he has. No other member in the crew would've been able to replicate Zoro's feats
