Ur literally saying that a zoro who lost miserably together with his crew from pacifitsta's, Kuma nad was having a hard time fighting baboons advanced that much in 2 year's strong enough to beat the top dogs of NW, i dont think so, one piece isnt an easy world like u think.
Do you have any idea how much luffy advanced from the moment he started his Journey till he reached Sabaody??
Do you know how much zoro advanced from his entrance to sabaody?? and that was not even one year of voyage!!
And you doubt their growth after 2 years of training under the worlds strongest swordsmen and the dark king.
I just cant believe that they would go to the new world knowing what they were up against, Zoro knew the power of Kuma and he knew thw power of kiziru now hes talkin bout taking on a Emperor, I don't think he would boast that lightly
True.
that is what they were training for correct?
Exactly.
You aren't taking in to account of the fact that other people get stronger as well. It's not as if the admirals stay the same level forever, they vary as well and the people grow stronger. Look how much Law and Smoker improved over the timeskip. Not only are the StrawHats growing stronger but so is everyone around them. Kizaru has probably gotten stronger too, or at least he's got more fighting experience. So I wouldn't be disappointed if the StrawHats aren't on their level yet.
Yeah but there is a difference. Strawhats were training under guidance especially to increase their strength while the marines you are talking about were not just fighting but also had other duties like escorts and paperwork and other stuff they were not on the front lines fighting.
Smoker did not improve shat because he focussed on getting promoted and neglected his fighting skills and law needed to achieve the shichibukai position so yes he needed to work for it. So if Law achieved the strength to become a schibukai you should understand how much zoro and luffy would have grown considering they are aiming for the yonkou.
Also the fact that zoro and sanji hardly seemed to be concerned after being beaten by others...clearly shows they know what they are up against.
