Character Discussion Zoro's potential opponents from Wano onward seem to share a similar theme regarding Sanji
- Thread starter Shanal
- Start date
Another parallel that Zoro's opponents share - Sanjibros want them for themselves.
From King onwards with Mihawk as an exception and I guess Gandhi too.

Ah the classic if Zoro does something then so does Lanji, since Lanji will never fight a top tier it's Zoro that gets downgraded.
Akainu and Kizaru are also partners I believe
Both are from North Blue and joined the navy together the same year.
In japanese, Kizaru uses a polite/formal speech when talking to his superiors (he's the most polite of the color trio)
-Calls Sengoku "Sengoku-san" センゴク(さん)
-Use formal form ending with -masu (like using modorimasu(戻ります) instead of the plain modoru (戻る)
While his speech when interacting with the current fleet admiral, Akainu is much more casual
-no suffix, just "サカズキ" "Sakazuki"
-plain/casual form (use plain 行こう instead of polite 行きましょう)
While he's much more relaxed than Akainu is, he's totally fine with his view of justice. don't like pirates either.
-said Rayleigh sins as a pirate won't disappear
-state that pirates cannot be trusted
From VC
Basically, even the navy don't work like a pirate crew, Borsalino seems to be the closest to a RHM for Akainu (not surprise he keeps getting interactions with RHM like Beckman, Rayleigh and Marco). And guess who Zoro tend to fight?

D: Are Kizaru and Akainu stronger even than Aokiji? P.N. Osumansan
O: Hahh, hahh... Sorry for the late introduction. Hello. I'm the author, who got his Balls Flattened by a Reader... you can call me Balltender. But who cares! Here's a question...YIKES!! What the hell is THIS?! Kizaru?! Get outta here! I'm gonna have nightmares! Sorry P.N. Osumansan, Kizaru's already appeared! He'll show up in the next volume. Actually, you're not that far off, though.
The Pre-TS Admirals order was Sakazuki > Borsalino > Kuzan. Reflected in their Marineford matchups with Whitebeard > Marco > Jozu.
- Has been matched with Marco, Rayleigh and Benn Beckman. What do they all share in common? Being the RHM of a crew.
- Has unresolved conflict with Zoro from Sabaody Archipelago.
- Is Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's strongest man just like how Zoro is Luffy's strongest man. (read above).
Besides, what is even the argument for Sanji vs Borsalino? "Speed and Kicks"?
The only time Borsalino ever used kicks was against fodders and small fry who didn't matter. The only time he was matched up against a top tier in a serious duel (vs the Dark King), he used a sword. He has a named sword called "Ame no Murakumo", named after one of the sacred imperial regalias of Japan.
There's more going for Zoro vs Borsalino narratively than Sanji vs Borsalino.

Uh, but what does it have to do with Sakazuki>Borsalino>Kuzan? It just mean that there can be 3 people with same strength with only a minuscule advantage over the other. Aokiji is implied to lost a leg if we include the movie, which means if Sakazuki and Borsalino fought, they can also have a ten day fights but Borsalino won't be perma injured or both him and Akainu injured. These are all still in the realm of reasonable.
