Luffy is like a 9.
Zolo is like a 7.5 (7-8 really)
There should be a big difference, but is there? Of the two people both of them have attacked in this arc
Luffy attacks undrugged hyozu with gear second : Gets blocked and luffy gets poisoned which only didn't go much worse for him due to dumb luck.
Zoro attacks hodi underwater, 2 attacks (one blocked by using another person as a meat shield) later, and Hodi is in a cataonic state and unable to actively swallow a pill on his own.
Zoro attacks drugged Hyozu and with the only actions zoro took being blocking an attack aimed at robin, followed by immediately breaking all of hyozus swords.
Luffy attacks hodi? He is able to get an odd hit or two in, and stays at the very least awake and able to take the pills he needs when he needs them/
And this is without even touching on Zoros stronger techniques that would involve Asura, versus luffy spamming gear second at every opportunity.
Quote:I think it's natural for Luffy to struggle a little in the water against this guy since he isn't going as hard and has a major disadvantage.Which is why it's so ridiculous. There was absolutely no good reason for luffy stopping sanji going up there (after giving him the coral) and beating the ever loving pomegranate out of Hodi. Everything thats going wrong right now is luffys fault, because sanji can actually, to quote the crew "Move as fast as a fishman" underwater, wouldn't be weakened at all, and could have had this all done and dusted.
And thats without even mentioning the idea of sending Jinbei up there to deal with it, holy crap.
Quote:We haven't even seen gear second + haki hax.We did once, vs the pacifista way back, it didn't strike me as that impressive since Zoro and sanji then managed to do the same with old techniques (Diablo Jambe) or not even using a named tech (Zoro just slashed the thing).
This arc has already taken way too long. And we're inevitably going to get another set of stupid flashbacks for hody.
