There's also nothing supporting the argument that Zoro can beat Jack by himself either. Admittedly, it is difficult to compare the two's strengths especially since Zoro has not yet been pressured in combat so far, but I don't feel at all that Zoro is a match with Jack yet.

Let's not forget bounties. Yes the government can sometimes make mistakes with them, but they know full well what Zoro can do. And they gave Jack a bounty that is 680 million berries larger. The sheer discrepancy in that amount should be telling that there is currently a big discrepancy between the two, one which Zoro might not be able to overcome.

And unlike other times when the Straw Hats have beaten people with much larger bounties, Jack has shown none of the weaknesses that they have. Crocodile lost because he never took Luffy seriously. Moriah lost because he had been sitting on his ass for years. Jack had the strength to fight the mink tribes strongest warriors for five days without giving way, then sink two of the ships in Doflamingo's prison fleet. Jack is also very thorough and not willing to toy with his foes. He wants the Minks dead so much that he returned to Zou just to do it. Thus, Zoro will have to beat him through sheer physical force. Is he up to the challenge now? I don't think so. Regardless of what anyone thinks, we will find out in the weeks to come
