Speculations Mihawk to be revealed as a celestial dragon and Imu’s right hand man

[S.W317]

That seems to be the case as tensei mentioned they have god's knights. Even akainu refrained from getting in their business as the knights had authorithy to judge even the celestials themselves so they surely should be powerful. The gorosei mentioned marines are merely their public face to justify their authority with a facade of justice. It can be similar to the royal guard in bleach that were completely seperate from the squads of soul society but if mihawk is one of them then he did a damn good job in hiding it as there are no panels indicating any kind of relationship between him and the wg other than the shichibukai status. I mean he has not made even a comment on the WG or the celestials and he is too young to be present in big time events surrounding the wg such as the mess in god valley

Mihawk could merely be a celestial dragon that obtained the God ‘s knight title and is doing as he pleases.

But the main reason is that there would be no reason for Zoro to face Mihawk except this

I think God’s Knights are the most elite celestial dragons and Imu is one of them.

Imu in my opinion didn’t exist 2 years ago, but rather he awakened from amongst the God’s knights sometime after Marineford to parallel Luffy’s awakening as Joy Boy

This would also make Zoro's goal actually important to the main story.

This is the problem with the whole thing. Zoro's goal exist outside of Luffy's path. All Blue - looks like Luffy will make it, true history - looks like Luffy is part of that history, sail to the edge of the world - again Luffy wants to do that.

Zoro's goal however is not tied to Luffy's journey. So, it's always going to be a challenge to incorporate it into the main story.

one piece is confirmed to be in its final arc; Oda confirmed the series is ending in 3 years and that OP ends once the one piece is found.

The EoS villain is blackbeard. Most likely, he decides to team up with cross guild and the SHs take out the BBP and cross guild at the same time.

Each arc the stakes rise dramatically and significantly. Luffy already defeated one yonko crew in Wano, him doing the same thing against Teach would be boring. Rather, the SHs will single handedly take out two yonko crews at once, replicating Roger's feat of defeating Rocks.

Okay
