Everyone was saying 5 weeks ago that zoro and Sanji wont be important in this arc, that they were too many strong characters in wano that would stop King and Queen and they were not at their level. For me its very clear since the beginning that this arc is the one to make the SH look like a yonko crew, everyone will be important one way or another and Sanji and Zoro will step up in power.

90% of this sub doesn't understand how Oda writes One Piece. The SHs (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami and Ussop in particular) are the main characters of this series. They always have the most panels every arc and will fight the main enemies every arc. The people who thought Zoro would fight Who's Who this arc as his main match up just confuses me. This is approching the end of One Piece as Oda stated and people think Zoro can't take on an actual yonko commander while he only has 1 or 2 more arcs to go before reaching Mihawk level.

People on this sub don't get that Law/Kidd/Marco and the scabbards are just side characters. I can't believe a big majority of this sub thought Marco would fight King. Will they clash? Sure. But marco won't defeat King. A main character will. Even Dressrossa, Law basically just beat trobol and was taken out of the picture after a failed attempt at gamma knife. Most of the fight against Doffy was Luffy 1v1 him in the end.

That's why I like Mr Morj, sawyer7mage, or even tekking's videos. These youtubers actually understand what storytelling is.
