I know Zoro's running gag is that he gets lost all the time and other few things. HE IS A DUMMY.
But when you look at the possible top 3, Mihawk, Shanks or Gorosei-Gandhi. You must think.
First one only cares about growing rice with his baboons. Doesn't really look for a fight. He is just chilling at the top.
Second one makes connections between pirates and world nobles for mysterious reasons. Was seeking peace by trying to stop Teach multiple times. He destroys Kidd because he was gonna attack first.
Third one IS based on Gandhi, a peaceful protester. Despite his chara-design, he is a Gorosei who has made himself known for not moving from Imu's palace since his introduction. And has at multiple times made poses like a thinker. He could arguably be "chilling at the top" too.
How could Oda miss the fact that Zoro needs to become a real-ass wise-men samurai ?
