So.....with Shanks deciding to legit go after the One Piece, it kinda increases the odds of Mihawk joining him.
This theory always lacked a motive for this "co-op" happening, but since Shanks now has a goal, recruiting Mihawk, who's no longer a Shichibukai, could be an extremely powerful move.
Since a possible future scenario of SHP vs RHP is massive in terms of significance for the story, having the Zoro vs Mihawk duel there could be a most worthy stage for it to happen.
It could also catapult Shanks as the "last boss", unless we think Zoro will fight a swordsman stronger than Mihawk, if that was the case.
Kinda hyped to see where we are going, especially because it's all about the "main" antagonists now.
Goat Piece greatness is back.
