Every arc, Zoro fights the main villain's right hand man. Literally every single arc.
Yet people think Zoro vs Mihawk will be Zoro's final battle? What, is Buggy going to be the final villain or something? I know people love Mihawk and want him to be Zoro's EoS fight, but y'all need to stop being fanboys and look at the plot.
Between Blackbeard and Imu, there's simply no room for Mihawk.
At the moment, Imu and the gorosei have immense potential to be the final villains of one piece. They are at the head of the world government, even above the admirals. Yet they don't have any feats or hype. What better way to hype up the gorosei than to have them quash Cross Guild, a yonko crew, with the sword gorosei personally taking out Mihawk.
As for how the gorosei will take out Mihawk? Probably via some super rare and powerful DF ability. The gorosei and Imu are the heads of the world after all, they have first pick on any DF the world government collects. Imagine if the sword gorosei put a mythical zoan into a supreme grade sword and subsequently awakened it. That's just a possibility, but its something the gorosei could do.
Ultimately, Oda hasn't changed his arc formula for over 20 years. People thought he would change it in wano, he didn't. There's no reason to think he will change it for the final war. Why else would one and only one of the gorosei be given a katana, if not to fight Zoro?
