One thing that people are forgetting about the sabaody parallels is that they were initially meant to go straight to fishman island prior to kizaru mogging everyone so i still think elbaf won't happen now.
Emerald city where nami awakens her conqueror's haki, elbaf where usopp awakens his conqueror haki and then sanji awakening his conqueror haki with something involving his family ties to willie gallon and the ancient kingdom.
Emerald City, then the false elbaf theory by
@Salah WG then true elbaf and a possible travel to the moon prior to lodestar, laugh tale and then the final war.

Zoro's fight is way less important than what his fandom think he is.
He beats mihawk and becomes WSS... good for him, there is still a LOT of actually important plot points waiting to be unwrapped and found out.
His fight is most likely happening in elbaf since this is the place where mihawk/imu/zunisha eyes mystery will be solved and then we will proceed to the rest of the story.
