if the rest of the crew is fighting BBPs, Zoro will be fighting Shiryu lol
Oda is rushing the story now, so there is no time for SH vs BB, then SH vs CG/RH, then everyone vs WG.

The Laugh Tale could be a brawl involving all Emperors. This is more plausible than CG being in WG side when they (Mihawk) fight Zoro at that time.
 
Shiryu. Aokiji definitely isn't, and he may not even fight the Straw Hats.

I mean, literally everything about Shiryu screams "Zoro matchup":
  • He is a swordsman. Zoro is aiming to become the World's Strongest Swordsman.
  • Zoro, like Mihawk, believes that "scar on back is swordsman's greatest shame". Shiryu is a backstabbing little piece of ****.
  • Zoro's main weakness is his lacking Observation Haki IIRC. Shiryu's Devil Fruit allows him to hide even from Observation Haki users, to the point that only Garp was able to notice him on Hachinosu.
And there is no way Zoro is ever defeating Mihawk without training the hell out of his COO. Without defeating Shiryu first, Zoro simply won't have the skill (read: Observation Haki) necessary to handle Hawk-Eyes.
 

Garp the Fist

With Cross Guild in the mix I think Zoro fighting Mihawk and not Shiryu is a valid take.

Cross Guild canโ€™t carry an arc on their own, they are going to be involved in an arc with other enemies.

Zoro vs Mihawk vs Shiryu could be a 1 vs 1 vs 1 tbh, where youโ€™d expect Shiryu to drop out first.

Or maybe even Mihawk beats Shiryu before the Zoro fight, and the purpose of the invisibility fruit is to hype up Mihawkโ€™s CoO (Clairvoyant/Hawk Eyes) and show the level Zoro needs to meet. Say Mihawk one-shots invisible Shiryu with a bounty in the multiple billions, that would be a fair hype moment.

Obviously if Zoro does fight a Blackbeard then itโ€™s going to be Shiryu, but with the great war being shaped up to involve different sides thereโ€™s room for some mixing for the matchups.

Eos Coby = admirals >> Mihawk <= Zori. So I don't know how losing to Coby is supposed to be bad when he will be far superior to zori's rival helmeppo.


No. Just No. He needs to be stronger than VISTA not shanks. Shanks embarrassed admiral who is superior to Mihawk without even trying. Shanks is the man who Luffy wants to surpass. A mere underling like Zoro will never get close to that level.


Lmfao. You don't even believe that.
:milaugh::milaugh:
No he needs to be stronger than shanks
Zoro is already stronger than Vista
When he's stronger than shanks he will fight mihawk
Shanks is the man who is inferior with a sword to mihawk
 
I don't know if I should respect you for your conviction and hope or pity you for your honestly blind ideology.

No pun intended. Really.
Only one of these two does the MC actually look forward to fighting and believes to be actually strong.

And itโ€™s not the one Luffy one shots every time he meets.
