You do realize AP isnโt the end all be all of fights?
Should I shock you? Do you know that the same way Zoro could One shot Pica with a clean hit, Pica could also ONE SHOT Zoro with a clean hit.
like that entire fight was between two people who both had the AP to one shot each other so the entire fight boiled down to stats like speed and mobility and AoE since neither one of them could afford taking a hit
Again, who gives a shit if Zoro has better AP... Fights dont revolve around single stats
So until Zoro beats a first commander, him having AP above them doesnt mean shit
