>King dont have a coc
>Zoro likes coc
>Zoro is sad
Jokes aside, i think Greg have made a good thread on twitter about Zoro, and why the fight with King will serve for he to have a good 1v1 fight in Onigashima and feed the Zoro craving west something for them to keep them calm, while the drug give a good reason for him to stay out of combat in the aftermatch of Wano.
If he dont fight King, who he will fight? BM is for Law and Kid, Kaido is for Luffy, the third strongest enemy is King, what better character in the alliance to take him than Luffy righ hand man? Zoro already have his great moment against the Emperors, cutting Kaido and taking the Hakai, but was already proved that even if he can cut Kaido he is not strong enought to beat him, he himself show this by using Ashura and not beating the Emperor even with his strongest power.
The same way Luffy defeated a YC in the last Arc and now is going for the Emperor, Oda will make Luffy main fighters defeat YCs to get them to a lvl where the SH can rival any other Emperor crews. Since Arlong Park Oda do this same thing.
A win against King would cement Zoro position as a "YC" and put him in the right place for a fight with Mihawk in the next Arc. Where he still would have to struggle to win against Mihawk, and would get out of the fight as probably the strongest pirate besides the Emperors. There's no reason to make Zoro beat Kaido in Wano them downgrade him to fight Mihawk.
Probably Zoro progression of fights from here to the end of the manga will be something like:
King->Mihawk->Shiryu->Fujitora->Bald Gorosei
