Of course there is no law, but it's usually considered as bad writing which usually doesn't happen well written manga unless for a very good reasons (like underline the protagonist's depression or need for growth, or when being an underdog is important phase of the story).

One additional thought on the monster trio conversation.

There are many examples of very direct comparisons between Luffy and Zoro, aka The future Pirate King and World's Greatest Swordsman:

- interaction with Charloss
Luffy: punches tenryuubito
(ch. 502 pg 18)
Zoro: "Why'd you have to go and punch him...? I wanted to slice hime up myself"
(ch. 503 pg 5)
- How they define a hero:
Luffy: "Let's say you have some meat, okday? Now, a pirate would chow down on that bad boy, but a hero would share it with everyone!! I want to eat meat!!"
(ch. 634 pg 4)
Zoro: "Heroes are people who share their booze with other People!! I wanna drink my booze!!"
(ch. 649 pg 6)

There are a ton more examples but I haven't enumerated them all.

I agree with that, and I don't think anyone is implying that Zoro "can't" be stronger.

Just that unless Oda shows us something else, all hints are leaning towards that Luffy is the stronger one of the two.

To base an argument and stating Zoro is stronger because we haven't seen his potential is ridiculous.

For all me know we haven't seen Sanji's or Luffy's potential either if that is the only argument.

Here is a small theory about the DD vs Strawhats & Law confrontation which assumes that there will not be a war between the two sides. Strawhats & Law will capture CC, and at the same time we will learn that the Law's crew is captured by DD, and CC and the Law's crew will be interchanged. Then DD will threaten Strawhats & Law, the arc will end by Strawhats earning one more big enemy after Big mom.

The main problem with this theory is the guy who dropped a piece of paper on the head of Chopper when Luffy & Law were captured. I think this person is someone from Law's crew, which means that Law's crew is not captured by DD, or at least not all of them, or even Law can drop the paper by his ability since his handcuff is not made by seastone.

What do you think? Will DD and Strawhats & Law fight or not?

What's your point?

Mihawk said that the road to being Pirate King was even harder than becoming the World's greatest swordsman. So even if Zoro surpasses Luffy, in the end it will be Luffy who reigns supreme.

Of course nothing else in OP can compare to Hancock's JJ.

I've actually noticed more direct comparisons between Luffy and Zoro than with Zoro and Sanji, although I've seen *some* tied to their sibling-like rivalry. In any case there are not many comparisons between Luffy and Sanji.

Because of that I've always thought of Luffy and Zoro to be more similar than Luffy and Sanji. They are all similar granted, but it seems like Luffy/Zoro have a relationship unlike the other crew members. Ok everyone has that too so it doesn't mean its "better" or anything. I'm not making a power level comparison.

Indeed, Sanji's always the crew trump card. He's both intelligent and extremely strong. He's the one who saves the crew in Alabasta (Mr. Prince), and he's the first to notice something's wrong with Robin and even outsmarts Nami and follows Robin in the train. Sanji keeps getting screwed but he has his place inside the crew.

Luffy is definitely stronger than Zoro in my opinion.

Maybe Tagashi? And the old cleaning marine lady (Tsuru?)?

You meant Tashigi?

Maybe the Rogue Town version, but she definitely had a gowrth spourt or a corrective surgery by the time of Sabaody...


Tsuru? Maybe 50 years ago and we'll talk.

But really, Kaya is the only one I can think off that might have a chance to be normal, real life-wise.

Yeah, and opening the gates of justice in order to prevent the VAs from chasing them back to Water 7.

i am 100% sure that Law is gonna die in one of the coming chapters...reasons?

1>we have seen most/all his abilities and know what he is capable off..
2>Joker aint taking a detour just to say hello to Law...
3>Law had an epic battle and epic scene already(mountain chop to half)...
4>Law Heart Snatching ability is just OP...and he needs to go..

If my assumption is wrong....then Law will at minimum become a disabled person..(guessing both his hands will be Cut Clean hence no more surgeon ability and end his days as a pirate)
