I will never forgive Oda

There is only one man capable


剣を業とする全ての者が畏れる"鷹の目"は、かつて刃を交えた"赤髪"を凌ぐ使い手の到来を、未来に見据えている・・・!!
Every swordman fears "Hawk-Eye." He looks forward to the arrival of a swordman who can surpass his rival "Red Hair," with whom he crossed blades in the past.
Ew no one cares about Dracula
 
We know at least partly what Zoro is lacking though.
A stronger conqueror's haki.

This is what Zoro said when he awakened advanced conqueror's haki and entered KoH mode
"So Oden was giving you this much haki easily, huh?"

The implication here was that, when Zoro was overusing advanced conqueror's/armament in KoH mode, he was matching the haki that Oden was using for an extended duration of time.

Zoro could maintain this haki output only for like ~ 10 mins, while Oden can probably go on for a long duration of time.

Zoro would become a solid top tier swordsman, when he can maintain that level of haki output for an extended duration of time. Oden was someone that Kaido had in his "top 5", along with Shanks and 3 dead legends.
A "sky split" moment would probably signify this as well.

From there, I think just black blade is remaining as a powerup, which he might attain when fighting Mihawk.

*************

Yes, how these characters reach that level is important.

What is unfortunate however is that Oda simply doesn't care.

How did Luffy go from being like low-mid diff'd post 1010, to sky splitter after just resting and eating up?

We don't know. LOda just made him that strong. A dude who didn't know advanced conqueror's haki before 1010, became a "sky splitter" conqueror by 1026 by just getting beaten up and resting/eating. No explanation, nothing. He just powered up, that's it.

So, Zoro probably will become a sky splitter randomly.........just cause Oda wants him to be
Stronger ACoC still isn’t enough though

Shanks can scare an Admiral from 50 miles away (which implies he can sense GB from that far AND target him with strong enough CoC) , kill observation, and split the sky with Oldbeard

Mihawk is supposed to be above THAT with a black blade

Kaido ran a gauntlet that seems impossible to complete (while losing energy from holding up an entire island)

Mind you, Roger Whitebeard and Xebec are supposed to be above all of these guys and Imu may be even stronger

I just don’t think there’s a way for these younger characters to hit their level and have it make sense

It just doesn’t seem possible
