Well thing is we don’t know because we haven’t gotten there yet, for all we know this could be framed as one of those legendary duels Shanks and Mihawk used to have but w the strawhats in the audience. It’s up to Oda to execute, not me, so we’ll see when the time comes.

Well it’s a boss fight not some long drawn out arc, things can happen after the fight. Does the story have to end with Luffy beating someone up? Will everyone’s dreams be fulfilled by the time of the final war?
*Not entirely sold on Shanks/Red Hairs being beaten by the Straw Hats. Depends if Oda wants to subvert expectations. They either go down next to Luffy or Teach though.
**Not sure if the Straw Hats will fight tbe Gorosei. I can see allies such as Marco, Katakuri, Sabo, Law and Kidd all taking them on as well in place of fighting Admirals.
I dont count:
1. shanks arc if it is exist, it will look like Roger n WB 3 days of unfinished/unclear/friendly match, not up to beating.
2. Supernova alliance (e.g. Kid, killer, Law, Hawkins, Apoo, Urouge)
3. WG except Luffy (another one, at max is Zoro); WG is for Revo, Law (+ maybe Shanks/Mihawk)
Luffy:
- Admiral (not beat/KO-ing but give pretty bad injury that make them retreat), with 1 shot Giant VAdmiral earlier (kinda WB marineford)
* BB, with taking down 1 of the commander/ally earlier (imagine beat doffy then Kaido in the same arc)
- Imu (with or without Guards:Gorosei -> read like Doffy n trebol), with 1 shot several Masked-CP0 earlier
Zoro:
- takes on 2 VA fleets/an SSG
* shiryu YC1+
- Issho(if showing CoC) /Mihawk, 1 shot SSG before
Sanji:
- takes on 1 VA fleet/ masked Cp0
* mysterious BB commander/YC1
- Kizaru (not beat/KO-ing but give pretty bad injury) Or beat Ryukugyu/Tokikake if becomes admiral, with 1 shot 10 Pacifista before
Yamato:
- 1 VA fleet
* Mysterious BB commander if female
- Gion(if becomes Admiral & 1 admiral die)
* BB can be opposed by Shanks / Mix between SH-RH pirates if there is supernova alliance
* I only have 3 option:
- first if bounty confirmation
- Pirate King crews bounties
but 1 might be off-screen/on narrative box
Zoro
- Benn Beckman (strongest #2 fight) or Dracule Mihawk
- Kizaru or Ryokugyu
- Shiryuu of the BloodRain
- Samurai Gandhi
Sanji
- Benn Beckman (to beat undefeated pirate like Zoro and Luffy. Of course only if Zoro fight against Mihawk) or Lucky Roo (Fastest crew member vs Fastest crew member)
- Kizaaru or Ryokugyu
- Avalo Pizarro (Fallen king of north blue kingdom vs Prince of germa) or Laffitte vs Sanji (Chief of staff vs unofficial chief of staff)
- Gorosei (?)
Zoro vs Mihawk can easily be an epilogue fight, just to close out the dream fulfillment of ever SH.
If you ever read Get Backers, Zoro vs Mihawk can be similar to the final fight of that series: done after the Jesus of the series beat the endgame villain and all main characters fulfill their respective destiny.
It would also mean that life goes on in-story even after the WG is no more.
Well it’s a boss fight not some long drawn out arc, things can happen after the fight. Does the story have to end with Luffy beating someone up? Will everyone’s dreams be fulfilled by the time of the final war?
I mean I don’t see why not? This is Luffys story of becoming the freest man in the world. Zoros dream is just a side quest in the story just like every other straw hat.
It's completely stupid to think that Zoro will become the strongest swordsman before Luffy becomes the Pirate King (Those who think Mihawk will join Shanks)
And it's also stupid to think that during the Final War against the World Government and its tyranny, Zoro and Mihawk will fight each other when the two are up against the World Government.
Yeah but there’s one big thing, Oda doesnt care about secondary straw hats half as much as Luffy. The idea he would finish the manga with anyone but Luffy is just silly by now judging by how Oda has written every other moment of one piece.
On the contrary, Oda has already shown that it is more important for the Straw Hats to fulfill Luffy's dream than theirs, especially with Zoro.
Oda made Zoro put his dream aside and surrender for Luffy and crew on Thriller Bark.
Oda made Robin put his dream aside and surrender for Luffy and crew in Enies Lobby
Oda made Sanji put his dream aside and surrender for Luffy and crew in Whole Cake.
And the examples continue. It has several dreams to be fulfilled only after the final battle. Or do you think they will travel all over the world, going through all the routes of paradise before the final war for Nami to draw the world map, Sunny to be the second ship to sail all seas, Brook to find Laboon and etc?
The world is changing very fast, now in chapter 1037 this has been stated to us again, there is no time for these dreams to come true between Wano and the Final War.
