i dont think zoro can beat luffy
i think its made clear that zoro is 2nd to luffy
zoro was always on par to the boss's henchman as to luffy was always on par to the boss

oh yeah . except the people get knocked out and foam out of there mouth. yep seems the same. post full of fail.. i swear

Ok, lets put the ad hom aside for a second and explain things more carefully.

What, if not haki, was it that zoro exhibited on seabody? You called it, "intent to kill". Explain how this is so.

The only thing he did was bat his eyes and nod his head, how could that simultaneously effect the dozen or so bounty hunters surrounding him? Even the one's who were well behind zoro and had no chance of seeing the front of his face, let alone eye movements?

From the moment of everyone faltering, the only movement zoro made was of the eyes and a nod. Not even a word was spoken.

the intent to kill is not something u can see
its more like a feeling or an aura

a sense of bloodlust that intimidate others

Was "intent to kill" mentioned anywhere in the series?

i believe so
near the time zoro killed all those bounty hunters before they met vivi

If you can more closely pinpoint the scene, I'll go ahead and look it up for myself and compare the two. If you're correct then I'll admit it, personally I don't recall it so I have no idea where to start but the very beginning

i dont believe that its impossible for zoro to get the dispositioning
but for him to awaken it the same time as luffy is too coincidental

The only guy who really freaked out was the one who was looking at Zoro. The rest took a step back after they saw their comrade freaking out and taking a step back. If a group of people surrounds someone and the leader takes a step back, the rest follow suit. I also don't think his behavior is like anyone else who has been affected by king's disposition. That guy was genuinely spooked and immediately does what Zoro asked. Most people affected by king's disposition go unconscious, foam at the mouth, have no idea what happened to them or just flat out run away (seen in shank's case).
