Future Events Wano will mirror Dressrosa. Luffy/Law vs. the boss, Zoro vs. Top Tier Swordsman (Fuji/BM)

I don't understand the Zoro/Fujitora hint at all.
You can't bring up Sabaody and the Kidd/Law/Luffy trio and jump to a random Dressrosa scene where Zoro clashes with Fujitora and say "that hints Zoro's purpose in this arc". It doesn't make sense. There is no connection between those 2 things.
I'm not sure if we're reading the same arc or not...
Oda has emphasized that Zoro will fight Kaido and not just be a bodyguard to Luffy on the way to Kaido many times in the last 14 chapters.
Again...
Even more obvious here...
And one last time...
If you haven't noticed already, the last panel makes the interests clear. Zoro and Luffy are both trying to get to Kaido, that's why Luffy says "one more time" because he's trying to get to the roof to get to Kaido and that's why Zoro says "just gotta get up!!" because he's trying to get to Kaido as well.
Sanji and Jimbei on the other hand aren't intending to fight Kaido, they are serving as bodyguards to Luffy and are trying to get him to the roof completely undamaged. Zoro isn't there with Jimbei/Sanji trying to be a bodyguard, he is taking his own route to Kaido. I reckon this Ice Oni stuff is how Zoro rounds up the samurai.
Here are the instances of Sanji/Jinbei expressing their goals.
Another one...
And even more obvious with what Jimbei says
I hope this helps.

Again, like I said, Big Mom, King and Queen are not going to disappear because people have a Zoro fetish.
Zoro is Luffy's right hand, and as such he needs Zoro to stop BM, King and Queen from interfering in his fight.
Zoro received Oden's blade and is implied to surpass Oden by turning Enma blade. He also is the descendant of Ryuma (who cut a dragon) and will probably take Ryuma's place as the guardian of Wano or something along those lines. While the main fight will be Luffy vs Kaido, I suppose that Zoro will at least injure/scar Kaido.
Not that I don't think Zoro has a chance to cut Kaido and reopen his wound, but maybe he was given Enma because he has the Wado Ichimonji, which was created by the same guy who created Enma, who is the same guy that fathered and trained his own Sensei, who Zoro knows personally? Even If Zoro does nothing at all against Kaido, that's a solid enough reason for him to have received the Sword.
