It doesn't make much sense for it to be the end of Zoro's involvement in this arc.
It makes even less sense for Zoro to contribute to Orochi's death when Orochi only has 1 head left and the sword Ame-no-Habakiri (the snake-slayer) exists...
Additionally, what was the point of introducing Enma only for it to be absolutely inconsequential in this arc? Sure, it got a few mentions on the rooftop, but even in Zoro's last moment against Kaido, it didn't matter at all. Kaido doesn't bother to talk about it either.
To the "Oden's haki" people, why is Oden's haki so irrelevant? You would imagine Oden's haki to do a lot more, but all it can do is scar Kaido again but in a more underwhelming manner?
A king fight could happen, but narratively, I can't see how it would be relevant at all given what we know so far.
How does this help Zoro round up the samurai? Are the samurai going to gather for Momonosuke their leader, Luffy the man who defeats Kaido, and/or Zoro the man who defeats one of Kaido's subordinates?
How does this help Zoro avenge Yasu? The man who Yasu even suggests should be killed is Kaido, King is irrelevant in this discussion.
How does this help expand Enma? The sword is naturally connected with Kaido, not King.
One thing I've noticed is that people are completely fine with the idea of Orochi being killed through Habakiri, but Enma, the sword which cuts through the depths of hell, killing Kaido, the man described as having the presence of hell, is completely unacceptable?
There's this idea that the Marines are going to show up and capture Kaido and/or Orochi, but each time the Marines decide to arrest the main villain of an arc, they're involved in the arc right away. It took them 3-5 chapters to get involved in Alabasta and Dressrosa.
There's a reason why there are so many panels talking about striking down Kaido and Orochi, about them dying, about their heads being taken, Orochi having gotten beheaded 7 times already. It doesn't make sense for it to be irrelevant in the end. You don't emphasise something that many times just to "forget" about it.
Another thing I've noticed is that when people try and connect Kaido to tales. They focus so much on his Oni aspect and almost completely ignore the fact that he's a dragon. It's always Oni v Oni where Luffy and Kaido are Onis.
But Kaido being a Dragon is completely ignored. If Kaido being a dragon was irrelevant, Oda would have simply made him an Oni and not a dragon.
If all Zoro does for the rest of the arc is sleep and then talk to Ryuma's grave, I would think it would be underwhelming for Zoro. But I would just have 0 expectations for him going forward, the same for Usopp in Elbaf.

TLDR:
- Zoro isn't going to kill Orochi because Habakiri exists.
- Why is Enma so unimportant so far?
- How is Zoro going to round up the Samurai of Wano?
- How is Zoro going to Avenge Yasu?
- Why is Habakiri killing Orochi fine but Enma killing Kaido isn't?
- Kaido and Orochi will die.
- Why is Kaido being a Dragon completely forgotten?
