True, but Zoro had just tanked quite possibly the strongest attack so far in the verse in just the chapter before it. He was basically half dead
What do you mean?
about law and zoro against a thunder bagua.
The one other attack he blocked was a combined attack from Kaido and Big mom for just an instant , note that that instant was heavily emphasized in the manga. And that already broke his bones. Note that Zoro didn't tank it, but blocked it for an instant. For Relativistic+ to FTL characters like the One Piece character an instant could be less than a fraction of a nanosecond.
It was implied that Kaido landed the Thunder bagua on G4 Luffy's head instead of body given how blood was all over his head and how his teeth broke after TB landed.
I doubt it was a second, because an instant for Relativistic+ to FTL characters like them an instant could very well be a nanosecond if anything. Also if you think about it the combo attack is pretty much just twice the attack damage of a single Kaido's attack, but with a shorter impact time which Zoro didn't tank but block. The total damage was quite possibly similar to a single Yonko attack but with twice the amount of contact time on him.
Taking heavy damage and subsequent AP seems to have zero correlation with OP characters. You can be one inch away from death and still deal damage as high as your peak AP when you are still fresh.
It "one shotted" him when he was basically half dead already. I don't know what definition of "one shotted" you ascribe to but I'd bet it's not popular among the people here
Half dead by Kaido's own hands nonetheless.
By a combo attack. Not by Kaido's own hands
A combo attack that he blocked for a mere instant and also 50% contributed by Kaido. Gotta love how people always just ignore the fact that it was an INSTANT that he blocked the attack and he already broke his own bones doing so.
It was still an impressive showing of near Yonko level durability. The attack was nearly instantaneous even for the supernovae i.e. the attack speed would have blitzed them. The fact that Zoro held it back even for an instant is impressive
Combo attacks don't scale linearly. The Supernovae could handle individual attacks but would have been blitzed by the combo attack
It was instantaneous even when relative to a bunch of Relativistic+ characters, meaning the attack Zoro barely blocked was possibly less than a nanosecond.
The time scale is irrelevant. A super strong, super fast attack is not reduced by the fact that it acts on a small timescale. The important takeaway is that Zoro matched the power level of a combo Yonko attack for an instant, albeit enduring massive amount of damage in the process
First part of the sentence doesn't make sense by Logic seeing that attack was a clear 1+1 = 2.
Not stated or implied anywhere
Time scale is irrelevant because Zoro matched the power level for an instant
If the time scale was irrelevant, it would not have been emphasized by Oda.
Same goes for you. It was not stated or implied anywhere that combo attack doesn't scale linearly. If anything it is on YOU to proof that the combo attack doesn't scale linearly.
Ragnarok is likely > Thunder Bagua though
Which was still ample evidence that Yonko >>> Yonko Commander seeing how Yonko attacks already oneshot Yonko Commander + characters (Luffy was Yonko Commander +) while the Yonko tanked Yonko Commander and Yonko Commander + attacks for 40 chapters straight without even needing to block with barely noticeable injuries without even needing to recover in between fights.
Proof?
All I'm saying is that he should scale. Mainly because he has the feats to back it up
No need proof, just watch Fujitora vs Luffy.
And a fully recovered Zoro is now fighting King who is a YC1, and I have already proven that Yonko >>> Yonko Commanders in power. It is clear via matchup portrayal that Zoro is meant to be YC1 in terms of power currently.
You haven't. You have made that claim which no one has really agreed to
He literally didn't one shot Zoro, because Zoro was basically already down when Kaido hit him with Thunder Bagua. Furthermore, he also didn't actually one shot Luffy with Ragnarok because that was his combo finisher. Kaido blitzed and overwhelmed Luffy to the point that he was unprepared to defend against Ragnarok
Only because you completely avoided engaging my argument in post #147 :
He tanked their most powerful attacks without any life-threatening injuries, alongside 30+ other Yonko Commander level attacks. Dodging a few hits don't mean much in the grand scheme of the whole combat when he already tanked their most powerful barrages and 30 + other YC level attacks and is still in absolute fighting capability without even needing recoveries in between,
So if say Kaido oneshots Nami with Thunder Bagua, Nami's durability would still scale? Is that what you are trying to imply?
Nami's AP would scale if she drew blood from Kaido regardless of how badly she was oneshotted
