So ive always seen that you can almost "tell" who Zoro would face in the coming arcs:
- King (Beast Pirates)
- Fujitora (Admirals)
- Monk Gorosei (WG; who clearly has Shodai Kitetsu)
- Shiryu (Clearly the Blackbeard Matchup)
- Mihawk (Perhaps if Mihawk joins Shanks)
And the biggest thing is that it supports other matchups in a way:
- Luffy: Kaido (duh), Akainu (duh), Im (maybe but it certainly seems so), Blackbeard and maybe Shanks.
- Sanji: Queen (both perverted, lovers of food, essentric personalities), Ryokugyu (Seemingly a chef who cooked for Fuji, finds food a pain in the ass to eat, loves women, basically Sanji except he detests eating)
- Jinbe: Jack (both Fishmen, but I admit thats the only commonality other than being the 4th strongest in Kaido's crew), Kizaru (actually has to do with Fisher Tiger's death and capturing Arlong)
- Usopp:Yasopp, Van Augur for obvious reasons. Id say Orochi could be his Wano matchup. Usopp being Oda's version of Susanoo would be fucking hilarious and great. Also GOD USOPP saving the country is amazing, per usual). Marine/WG-wise idk.
- Nami: Campote (wins by using Zeus:p i think Smoothie would be too much), Hina could be a cool Marine matchup, Devon is totally her BB matchup, and I am unsure of her Shanks one if it happens. WG wise id be unsure either.
- Robin: Onibanwanshu and i have no idea the rest of her matchups. Avalo Pizarro maybe?
- Franky: Some Number or Flying Six, Burgess, Lucky Roo seem like his matchups.
- Chopper: Similar to Franky in Wano, Doc Q, etc.
- Brook: Mimiwarigumi, Snack or some other character, honestly couldnt guess the rest.
Obviously doesnt include potentials like Marine Science Division/SSG/CP-0 or Elbaf characters, etc.
Seeing as I struggled to find matchups for the back half of the crew, im not even sure they will all get like 4-5 matchups for the remaining story. Wano and Blackbeard are more guaranteed than anything I believe.
