Controversial If you knew for a fact it would take 2000 days to see Zoro fight Mihawk would you still be reading by then?

I say this because it's either that or he takes Imu's fruit, but I don't believe he'll get any other Mythical Zoan.
The Buddha is very powerful, but I can't really see Sengoku dying, and the Buddha fruit doesn't fit his personality. The other two fruits he has fit him as a person perfectly, and I think Oda's doing it like this because he'll have Teach awaken all 3 of the fruits he gets. So whichever fruit he gets next must be perfect for him both in terms of the abilities it gives him and how it fits his personality.
The Nidhogg fruit would be amazing for him for multiple reasons, especially as it's one of the antithesis fruits to Luffy's fruit, but he can't get it for 2 reasons:
One: He's not an Ancient Giant, and the fruit's full potential can only be seen with an Ancient Giant
Two: Loki is DEFINITELY not dying. Oda already struggles to kill off characters like Law, so him killing Loki just so he can feed his fruit to Teach is never happening.

And any other Mythical Zoan, while fairly powerful, definitely isn't enough for Teach. Orochi's fruit might be pretty good, but even that's not enough, plus I think Shiryu will put that one into his sword.
Unrelated but: I think Sengoku Is dying against the CG, or at least he Is being defeated.

Yeah, I agree though: Imu's or something like that. Sengoku's maybe, but that's it.

I think Smoker and Issho (or Aramaki since he has a black blade) will fight and lose to Crocodile and Mihawk, but I can see Sengoku going up against Cross Guild. Mostly because it parallels Garp fighting the BBP, and there's the whole thing about how a new era can't properly begin with the old legends still hanging around.

Idk about Aramaki since he already has a bad scene with Shanks. I doubt Oda having him dying. I lost all hopes for Smoker though.

But Sengoku Is perfect for dying/being defeated. All old legends did, bar Ray. But even Ray took the L in Sabaody.

I wouldn't say Ray took a L when he arguably looked better than Kizaru, since he at least had some valid excuses for not winning the fight.
Also, I get that Aramaki was already wifi diffed by Shanks, but think about it. Oda having Mihawk flex on the only other character to have a black blade (that is alive) would be pretty great hype for him, imo.
Smoker is weird since before it seemed like he was going to be the new Garp but the more and more Koby gets focus it seems like Koby will be the new Garp while Smoker doesn't get nearly as much focus. Hopefully Smoker still ends up as a Sengoku parallel or something like that, but, who knows..

In some way, but Kizaru had him huffing bascially from the very beginning and the mugis were actually being defeated.
Kizaru "lost" only because Kuma jumped in and saved them.

Sure, I wouldn't say Ray lost, but if Kuma weren't there, the mugi would have been dead.
I don't know if for Oda that count as an L since all legends took one, apart from Ray and Sengoku.

Yeah, but Aramaki to has a role too.

I think Mihawk can do something against Sengoku more than against Aramaki and so all win: Mihawk shows off and Sengoku finally shows off but being old he lose etc.

Unfortunately Oda did him very dirty.

Oda didn't do Smoker dirty.
Fans are just insane.
Koby has taken nothing from him.
They have the same plot trajectory they always have and both parallel Garp.

Sengoku????
Why would that be a thing when Smoker literally already parallels Garp.
Also fourteen pages pre Egghead post timeskip and one arc of focus after Smoker already had an arc of focus and Dressrosa impact/a Dressrosa appearance, isn't replacing a thing.

So in this scenario, one piece will still be around after six years? That’s a win/win scenario if I ever saw one.

And in all seriousness, I highly doubt that there are people who areonly reading for the sole reason of seeing Zoro and Mohawk fight. Especially since there is zero guarantee that that fight will actually happen. So this was a silly question to ask.

Just chill and let chill

Such threads should include the poll.
I think OP will still be ongoing, and I don't die and still have access to it, I'd be reading it. Not for this particular fight, just reading because I want to know how it ends.

Tbh, Smoker got one of the worst if not the worst management of the manga.

Not only his being irrilevant, but even back in DR that phrase about the fact that even if he had the rank, he wouldn't have never been able to do what Fujitora did.

Anyways say something worth a damn
Tell me how a main character spot and impact and a character moment in the next arc constitutes being forgotten and replaced in a saga with virtually no marine roles sans Fujitora and then Drake undercover.
Smoker remains the only Marine Luffy ever consciously teamed up with prior to Egghead amongst unique qualities of his character.
All people who shit on him should be melting at Koby's Egghead antics rather than vigorously masturbating to the chapter 1121 panel that isn't remotely revaltory.

He's only irrelevant due to a failure of your imagination.
Kuzan had jackshit after saving his life and prior to saving his life he had his final for timeskip scene with Smoker and then prior to that he mentioned both Garp and Smoker in his first appearance.
Work your synapses.
Do the quick math genius.
Why the fuck is Smoker traveling on the ocean with a mystery box to see Koby and Sword following his long established friend finally having the shoe drop on the mystery he started.
Or do you need stories spelled out like it's China Chika Boom Boom

Smoker is a Great character: the point was his almost complete irrelevance post TS. Complete if we exclude PH.

I sure as hell am not happy about this, but It Is what It Is.

I am first in line hoping Smoker does something relevant and important lol.

The point was that we are almost at chapter 1200 hoping for that to be true.
