@GalaxyLevelShanks Why do you believe that Mihawk > Shanks even if Shanks beat Loki fair and square? It’s hard to even believe that EoS Zoro will surpass Loki atp
Because this only changes Shanks’s standing relative to the rest of the verse, his standing relative to Mihawk is still fixed. He’s weaker.

Thinking it’s hard to believe EoS Zoro > Loki is just an argument from incredulity. If Shanks is stronger than Loki then EoS Zoro will be stronger than Loki too since Shanks is a swordsman and Zoro will surpass all swordsmen

And if Nusjuro ends up being Zoro’s final fight?

Won't mean much unless its stated that Nusjuro is free from the title.

It could also be Zoro defending his title against a weaker swordsman and winning with easier difficulty than he did against Mihawk.

The only character that could be an exception is Shiryu, who can kill Mihawk and get his title, or be the challenger after Zoro is the WSS and make Zoro actually defend his title. In which case, Shiryu may surpass Mihawk.

But that's because Shiryu is also a character who's currently growing like Zoro while Shanks/Mihawk/Nusjuro have already peaked.
 
Except this title is locked as the dream of one of the main cast
Which is solid, just hope that Shanks didn´t destroy Loki and Loki isn´t going to fight Shamrock the same arc Zoro fights Mihawk, because Oda hasn´t put Loki under any strawhat yet, not even Luffy.
