So this is just a quick speculation made under the assumption ZKK is true. I am very aware that there is a big chance ZKK won't happen, and I've speculated on this many times, but for the purposes of this thread, I'd like to discuss how I think ZKK will happen.
In line with how Oda has written every arc since the history of the series, Luffy has to be the main hero. He is the main character, he is the chosen one, and this is a simple unwavering fact of one piece. Luffy will defeat kaido, he will get most of the fame and most of the credit. This has been backed up by multiple characters, Yamato, Zoro, sanji, and basically all of the straw hats. They are all hedging their bets that Luffy will return to beat kaido.
So if Zoro were to kill kaido, it would have to occur in such a way in which
What will the nerf be? imo, after beating kaido, Luffy will exhaust himself destroying onigashima in order to save the people of wano. With Law's powers, he could easily levitate a small chunk of the island that everyone could crowd into, giving Luffy the ability to destroy the rest. Perhaps Kid might even have a change of heart and use his abilities to fly the allies off the island. In any case, the allies will be taken off the island through the use of various powers and similar to fishman island, Luffy will destroy onigashima before it crushes the flower capital.
After wano, Luffy will be a full blown emperor and all emperors have shown these world destroying feats. Whitebeard with his earthquakes and tsunamis, Kaido levitating onigashima, and Big Mom manipulating the sky in whole cake island. Luffy too will get a feat to match this and imo that will be destroying onigashima. With ACoA, ACoC, and the gomu gomu no mi, I can easily see Luffy pulling off this feat by wano's end. Especially since it was hinted by kaido that Luffy had a new technique up his sleeve.
Luffy will severely hurt himself destroying the island, and kaido will regain just enough stamina to make one final attempt at killing Luffy before Zoro cuts off his head.

So if Zoro were to kill kaido, it would have to occur in such a way in which
- Luffy still defeats kaido
- Luffy is still the hero of the arc
