Well the emperors were just sparing Partners.
The real obstacles are gonna be the World Government and Marines maybe the SSG who are waiting to invade Wano.
Still time to shine.
I mean Luffy is the captain and Protagonist of the series, things are going how it should.
Zoro fans thought ZKK would happen, it didn't happend and we should admit the we were wrong, life goes on, it's a strength to admit that we were wrong.
Still many chapters to shine.
1. Defeating Kaidos 2nd in Command King
2. Defeating Supernova Captain Apoo
3. Defeating Kids 2nd in Command Killer
4. Defeating Supernova Captain Hawkins
5. Saved the Supernova from a combined Yonkou Attack
6. Scared Kaido even with almost all his bones broken and half dead, the only person second to Oden who do so.
7. Advanced Conquers Haki user.
8. Acknowlediged by legendary Samurai Hiugoro to be a formidable Swordsmen and the spitting image of Ryuma.
Only a few things Zoro showed to everyone.
Still there's a lot to unfold:
-Grim Reaper stuff
-Nidai Kitestu
- Forging a black blade
- Ryumas grave
Etc etc.
So far so good I assume. I'm pretty statisfied what Zoro achieved so far.
Like many of us we expected way to mich from the wano arc I guess, but it is still not over.
In the retrospective it should be a good arc, since chapter to chapter reading is a different experience than reading a whole volume.
If you are a weakly reader to judge to much out of a single chapter. Things unfold by reading a volume then you witness the real experience.
So let's be patient.
