salah you can't tell me that zoro boys thought luffy will fight a gorosei this early
so zoro fighting kizaru was never a possibility for this arc nor was it logical
luffy literally has a score to settle with kizaru
This early? It's Final Saga
Gorosei appeared since some People here weren't even born
Garp fought & lost, Shanks showcased his Signature Attack, Law & Kid Defeated, OG Three Emperors gone ... etc
And this CD Elder, there are Four others like him, alongside Nine Holy Knights
Having One Gorosei showcase his True Power (Doesn't need to be defeated) isn't gonna be that shocking
Luffy fought Morgan, right? He fought Buggy, Kuro, Krieg, Arlong, Smoker, Mr. 5, Mr. 3, Wapol, Crocodile, Bellamy, Enel, Foxy, Lucci, Moria, Magellan, Sengoku, Hody, Caesar, Doflamingo, Big Mom, Kaidou
The only time Luffy didn't Fight a Group's Leader was in Zou, but the guy never reached the City, nor did Luffy interact with any of his Henchmen, so can't really call them SHs Villains (Even in Wano, They didn't meet Jack)
So if Luffy always Clash with Villainous Groups Leaders, why should Saturn be a Guaranteed Exception?
Anyone who says Luffy will Fight Saturn is a Good Guess even if it doesn't happen, and anyone who said Zoro might have faced Kizaru was also making a Normal Guess even if it doesn't happen, and the same for Sanji vs Lucci Guesses
And the worst part is that even if you believe Kizaru is this Arc's No. 1 Villain & Saturn not gonna Introduce himself, it still doesn't mean Zoro can't face him, as Zoro clashed with Main Villains before multiple times, so it's not that impossible
As i said before, i actually predicted Luffy vs Kizaru long ago, before Wano even ended, but there is no reason to shit on people who believed Zoro might face him too, it's as good a guess as People who maybe theorized in the past that Luffy might face Vergo or He may face Kuma in Thriller Bark or fight Big Mom in Whole Cake Island or Jack in Zou ... etc
Author tries to be unpredictable sometimes, but Luffy vs No. 1 & Zoro vs No. 2 are always normal guesses
