1. He wasn't, Killer used Durability Negation once with the punishers as a solution to Kaidou's scales; it's not his standard fighting style as shown against Hawkins. Killer after claiming that used a purely AP move suggesting he was just referring to attack power.

Zoro himself after receiving Shusui states it's power is several times greater than whatever he was before; there's other examples as well, high quality blades make a difference.

2. Does it really matter?

1. Agree with your point about Killer, but IIRC Zoro didn't get a tier change just because he got Shusui. It's also about the swordsman's raw power. So while FRA Killer was weaker without the scythes, I doubt it was by that much, especially since he still drew blood from a (distracted) Zoro.

2. Fair. It's a decent support though, especially since he really didn't view Base Queen as a threat (since he hadn't seen Queen's Zoan form yet at the time).

1. I mean with shusui alone he was able to overpower Oars punch which isn't something Zoro would normally be capable of with one arm. A Swordsman's raw power, skill, haki etc all player a part but graded blades have shown to give amps to swordsmen.

2. Just seems like messy scaling to deal with for profiles; a lot of people have varying opinions on it.

1. True, but the sonic scythes aren't named blades. I think the spinning effect they have even when they're not being used for dura neg is what makes them stronger, since when he and Zoro attacked Kaido together, the blades were spinning.

2. Fair. It is a solid speed feat for Zoro, though.
