Hi everyone, new guy here. Just wanted to put my 2 cents about where I think Oda is heading with Orochi and posibly Kaido and Zoro.
After reading 1048 spoilers and seeing orochi being beheaded once again and how underwhelming it feels, I think Oda intends to execute Orochi publicly, post war, by Momonoske finaly using Ame no Habakiri. Momo is going to give a speach about how Orochi tormented Wano all these years, ending Orochis regime and establishing himself as the new leader and finaly opening Wano for the future.
Now where does kaido and Zoro come in all this?
Remember Kaidos history? Defeated x amount of times, caught and attempted
executions that all failed because his skin is too tough?
That's right! He's going to get executed together with Orochi, but no samurai will be able to pull it off and that's where Zoro comes in.
When Zoro recieved Enma Kinemon said that he woudn't accept it because
the sword is to dangerous to handle. Seems like no one in Wano was good enough for Enma. When Zoro defeated king he exclaimed ''I'll become the king of hell'', that's not Zoros new title (contrary to popular belief), that's a direct statement > I'll become the king of hell > I'll become the master of Enma > I'll master Enma. And he will!
Zore will use Enma to execute Kaido (possibly turning Enma black in the process) and prove to all of Wano that he has mastered Odens sword and become known throughout the world as the man who finally managed to execute Kaido.
That is how ZKK happens
