Speculations What do you think makes more sense for Zoro's final fight?
- Thread starter Malick the last Light
- Start date
I disagree with this there is another way and thats by turning sandai black and replacing it with the stronger blade that wil make him stronger just like he did shusui to enma. At this stage it seems weird that his sword would ever break unless oda like goes the route of the grade of the blade mattering sandai breaks through zoro use of adv coc etc on accident no by someone else. It might be why the top tier swordsmen carry the saijos
I still currently think its Ethan Baron. Not to play down Mihawk or anything like that, but I think if Luffy is meant to be PK before he fights Imu, then Zoro should also become the WSS around the same time.
Its very clear that Blackbeard, CG, and Shanks will all end up clashing with Luffy's crew and each other prior to LT, potentially even Akainu and his Marines. The Yonko want One Piece, so you are at a point where it makes most sense Luffy to come out on top in the end here and not anyone else.

Still beside the point. The Yonko (which Mihawk is a part of now through Buggy) are all vying for One Piece.
You have Mihawk's role to play in the endgame at this point, and he is heavily tied to Shanks to begin with, who is tied to Blackbeard. Not to mention, Ryokugyuu has it out for the Red Hair Pirates, and Ryokugyuu works for Akainu, who has ties to Kuzan, who is under Blackbeard and Buggy is also tied to Shanks.
You can, very clearly, see that a giant war is coming over One Piece. However, there is a very clear line of separation between all of these factions, and the Revo's/WG, the latter of which do not need to be directly involved in that fight and just wait for everyone to take each other out.
And you also have the fact that Mihawk himself has called the road to PK harder to achieve than the road to WSS. It justifiably makes sense for Zoro to achieve his status before Luffy does

Yea. The inevitable clash between the Straw Hats and Cross Guild in the race to becoming Pirate King would be the perfect time for Zoro vs Mihawk fight to take place since both would have something to fight for here other than the WSS title because lord knows that this title hasn't received enough literacy importance for a fight solely about it to be fulfilling narrative wise.

Why wouldnt Mihawk fight Zoro in a war they are both involved in lol
And there would be 1v1 matches. Marineford had plenty, they were just all offscreened.
What I'm hearing is absolutely nothing why Mihawk "has" to wait for Zoro in the EoS to fight him on some random location alone, and not when both parties are involved in plot. Its a fan wish that people want, not a logical ending for either character.
Mihawk also has nothing to do, as far as we know, with the WG. He hunts Marines and is actively hunted by them. If they are endgame, then why would Mihawk be involved in that fight when CG is clearly involved in the battle for One Piece?

Because Zoro would want to fight Mihawk and Mihawk would want to fight Zoro. You are ignoring narrative implications and writing decisions Oda is making.
You are right Cross Guild is irrelevant, SAVE for the fact that it is an avenue to involve Mihawk (and whatever other pirate group they recruit) in the fight for One Piece. Why do you think the entirety of 1082 exists, especially this page?
Do you think Oda just writes dialogue like this with no payoff?
Once again, this entirely supports Mihawk being invovled in the fight for One Piece, and thus his endgame with Zoro. I have still not heard one justifiable reason Mihawk needs to be "saved" for the WG or after.
Hell, if the WG arent the final villains (unlikely, but lets play devils advocate), nothing I said above changes, as Mihawk could then just be Zoro's final fight before One Piece anyway.
