Cross Guild only exists as a way for us to get Mihawk v. Zoro.
Luffy aint fighting Buggy, nor is Sanji fighting Crocodile.
Zoro has to beat Shiryu before that, so BBP will 100% fall before Cross Guild faces off against SHP.

Yes, Shiryu might have some more skills than expected but he's ultimately another gimmick fighter who will pressure Zoro bcoz of his gimmick for a few minutes. Zoro finds this out and one shots Shiryu anyway. Maybe my expectations are just that low but I can't possibly imagine how a simple invisibility ability makes Shiryu jump between tiers to match Zoro. Heck, I can already see current Zoro beating Shiryu or I'm simply underestimating him. But with Mihawk? There's no gimmick, just pure Haki + skills.
Okay, I know this is more than just farfetched but Zoro can't struggle against fucking Shiryu and then defeat someone stronger than Shanks in a single arc. Either Zoro struggles against Shiryu in Laugh Tale and defeats Mihawk in the final war (again, Cross Guild exists for a reason) or Shiryu will simply be wasted if Zoro also fights Mihawk in the same arc. BBP sure will be beaten in Laugh Tale, as well as Cross Guild and RHP. Or the entire war happens before strawhats reach Laugh Tale. Basically a pure battle royale. Maybe the navy will participate too (real low chance Akainu just sits on his chair and waits until the entire EoS alliance raids his HQ without doing anthing LMAO).
Either way, I believe Elbaf will be more important than people think if that battle royale stuff happens in Elbaf...
