I'm never going to get tired of seeing Zoro slice shit up, but this was a horrible battle. And honestly, I knew it was going to be the instant he told Pica he was never in his league to begin with. I think we all did. Zoro's always been a cocky bastard, who's told people that he'll beat them multiple times, but never has he straight up told someone they're not in his league. The fact that Oda even bothered to have him put that bandana on pissed me off greatly. Even Pica knew he didn't stand a chance, otherwise he wouldn't have been such a coward during the battle.

So once again, 3 arcs into the NEW WORLD, against a top right-hand man of one of the strongest characters we've seen in the series, Zoro has yet to even exert himself. He hasn't even been hit. I'm about ready to call bullshit. Zoro's one of my favorite characters, but I prefer to see him be pushed at least a little now and then. The path to be greatest should have some bumps.
