Bougya It was good while it lasted

Tbh, Oda probably should have switched Mihawk and Shiryu's roles in the story, because the current situation doesn't really work. I won't say retconned, but Oda really had to push some of Mihawks traits to do the whole "Crocodile and Mihawk are actually really similar and get along" meme. And the whole, well Mihawk loves seeking danger, but also he wants Buggy to protect him from VA's thing, as well as him even being a marine hunter kind of doesn't work
Mihawk is dogshit written character that is incosistent. Now the MCs also have weird OOC moments but they are like in the better part of the 1000 chapters which might be a oddity, mihawk is like in 20 so its glaring.

I think at this stage the best vehicle is probally just a fight at laughtale, be it a davy back fight or some other method where the location is special.
If gonna be at the war or on a random place it gonna be akward as hell. As for the Power level implication i dont think no matter what oda does he cant clearly write himself out at this point so he gonna bite the bullet somewhere anyway.
We dont even know the dafaq he is gonna do with cross guild, i know speedreaders dont know but Crocodile is the main boss of the operation and he basiacly restarted utopia. Utopia = get pluton

With caribou revealing the location of pluton to BB, the ones that are set up for a clash are BB and CG imo, unless im missing something

Mihawk's character is even more of a contradictory mess than Crydo lmao @Elder Lee Hung
 
Zoro has to fight Shiryu before Mihawk no matter what, that's just the way it is.
On or before laughtale, fits perfectly actually like @soupongo said
It all comes together when you realize Shiryu will kill Mihawk and claim the WSS title @Topi Jerami
Zoro isn't fighting Mihawk. Fighting narrative ends when Mihawk became Zoro's timeskip mentor.
They spent 2 years living, training, eating, gardening and sleeping together, no way their match will be a death fight anymore. And you all don't actually think Zoro's last, biggest fight in the manga is mere "passing the test" kind of match.

Shiryu is not nerd enough to aim for childish WSS title. He will just happen to beat Mihawk as black sword training tool.

Just meaningless fluff, Zoro promised to never lose to another swordsman until he beats Mihawk. I don't care for your cope when the narrative is on my side- Mihawk will never lose or die to anyone until he does to Zoro.
