I said preference, naratively it doesn't make sense because this is a raid on Kaido's forces, but I just feel Kidd needs payback vs. Queen and the minks need payback vs. Jack, so unless Whos who is as powerful as King, all we are left with is Smoothie as the most logical choice from a power level perspective.
King vs zoro actually to me makes less sense than smoothie vs zoro ... what king has other then being kaido’s top commander ? Heck I would argue that zoro vs kaido makes more sense than zoro v king lol
smoothie is part of this rocks pirates alliance and this raid is a raid against the yonko alliance not just the beast pirates
smoothie and big mom pirates in general repetition went to the mud after what the straw hats did to them... it only makes sense for them to seek revenge from straw hats and only straw hats... smoothie knows very well who beat her 2 brothers
it’s very possible given big mom personality and values that smoothie is the only renaming big mom pirate with the title of sweat commander while Perospero finally being promoted to one ... giving us this typical zoro and sanji vs 2 second strongest after captains
king so far even though we saw more of him never used his sword, or did he ?
Meanwhile smoothie from the tiny bit we saw depends on her sword almost all time

.
there is the problem of flight. law had to be there to teleport zoro to kaidou, and even back with pica orlumbus had to bowling ball him to pica. so he would need to piggyback ride marco or something.
imagine wasting king on the sky fighting style... smh
also imagine wasting new challenge of sword fight for zoro where the fight is not typically boring sword fight but actually mixed with hax power like the wring wring that has endless potential
