So its all about disgrace and status? Zoro and Sanji are the top 3 fighers of the SH crew. Whats so disgraceful about Zoro and Sanji being on the same level like they have been portrayed throughout the series? It was portrayed in Arlong Park, Alabasta, Skypia, Enies Lobby, in Thriller Bark and Fishman Island. A bit in Punk Hazard as well.
What I said about Usopp stands firm. Reason Kidd has a 315 million bounty is because of all the civilian casualties he caused. You making it sound like bounties equal strength. Chinjao has a 500+ million bounty so I guess that makes him stronger than Luffy n' Law.
Are you seriously disregarding Zoro and Sanji's fights with Kaku and Jabra? Because of Luffy vs Zoro? Ok then. If Luffy and Zoro were 100% even at that time(112), then Luffy is far n' beyond Zoro. No reason for you to say Luffy equal to or barely stronger than Zoro. G2 set them apart, G3 extended the gap and G4 extended it even further. Its would be foolish to say Zoro had more progression than Luffy over the timeskip.
Not that I know of.. cause i never said it was about disagrace and status. Luffy , Zoro and Sanji are the top 3 fighters of the SH crew. Now, what I don't get is you claimed their portrayal of "being on the same level" was in all those arcs, yet don't mention anything specific.
Arlong Park - Zoro took on the second strongest (but do explain how they were portrayed to be on the same level)
Alabasta - Zoro took on the second strongest (But do explain how Sanji and him were portrayed to be on the same level)
Skypia - Zoro and Luffy are again portrayed to be on the same level, with Luffy laughing at them saying Zoro was captured, and Zoro laughing at them claiming Luffy was captured.
Enies lobby - Zoro again takes on the second strongest, and moment of Luffy's trust in Zoro's combat abilities is shown in this arc again. His strength is also indirectly compared to luffy's during the train.
Thriller Bark - Sanji gets K.O'd by a hit from Zoro's sword.. Zoro then proceeds to take all of Luffy's damage. Tell me how they are portrayed to be on the same level.
Fishman Island - do explain how they were shown to be on the same level
Chinjao gained the bounty in his prime, in which he very well may have been stronger than current luffy. But why compare someone who is out of his prime and was suffering from illness and is affected by old age?
Supernova are the top pirates of their generation, in which from strawhats only Zoro and Luffy are included, if Oda wanted to make a portrayal of "zoro = Sanji or on the same level", why not include Sanji in there? Because imo hes not, and he won't be by the end either.
Now, i don't see how you can claim G3 and G2 increased their gap. Zoro from what i recall never went all out like Luffy did.
Apparently God Usopp with 500mil is stronger than Sanji
Usopp's current bounty is only at 30 mil.
Doflamingo's little bounty has no relevance , as official bounties are determined by the world government.
