The obvious sequence of events is Laughtale -> learn about void century -> sack Mariejois
My problems with Zoro beating Mihawk after taking down the world nobles are:
1. Luffy and Zoro should achieve their dreams within a short period of time
2. Zoro's duel with Mihawk has been one of the most anticipated fights since the beginning of the manga. If it takes place after the final raid all the heat would be lost. Wouldn't be as exciting because the tension from the manga as a whole is relieved.
3. Just as Luffy will get proper screentime as pirateking, Zoro should have the same treatment as WSS.
Don't be fooled by Mihawk's strength as one way or another, once Luffy obtains his PK title, he's automatically powercreeped to be > Roger. Naturally this puts Zoro above Rayleigh, which is without a doubt enough to make him the WSS.
