Speculations What if Shiryu is a red herring, and Zoro's real BBP opponent is Saint Shanks?

[Shasha23]

Saint Shanks is never meant for Zoro and will never be. We just finished from this delusional ZKK and the next fanfic is Zoro vs Saint Shanks? Zoro fans really be wanting Luffy’s opponents so bad. Either way Zoro surpassing Saint Shanks is one thing and needing to fight him or the one who defeats him is another. It’s like saying Luffy has to defeat all yonko and admirals with his own hand just cuz Chinjao and Luffy claimed they need to do it. It simply won’t happen all he needs is beat the strongest and that’s it.

Im not talking out my ass here, I'm simply stating what the vivre card says, so what you saying about Zoro and Saint Shanks is you ignoring what has been said.

You guys will always cry and cope with stupid headcannons like this which would throw One Piece down the drains if happened.

 

[Shasha23]

It would be mind-blowing and a nice twist. But it will divert from the whole Saint Shanks as Luffy's mentor and inspiration to surpass stuff..so i think Mihawk will instead join Saint Shanks. Thus Luffy vs Saint Shanks while Zoro vs Mihawk, is closer to the heart.

There is no way in an arc Zoro will fight someone stronger than Luffy's opponent, and again Mihawk has connections with Imu so its only logical to surmise he will fight Zoro EoS.
LOL at Mihawk working for someone he sees as an inferior

Mihawk connections with imu so its only logical...what do you mean by this? You mean while Luffy vs Imu happen, Zoro vs Mihawk will happe at the same since Imu has similar eye to Mihawk? Or do you mean that Zoro is gonna fight Imu next? Or G5 Luffy with those eye circles is also gonna be related against Mihawk? I dont get your meaning here.

The words Mihawk said back in the war were very strange and as we now see that Luffy is JoyBoy it starts to connect even if just a little, meaning Mihawk might have known what Luffy's true ability is and why he called him the "child of fate".
When Pirate King Luffy fights King of the World Imu is when i see Zoro fight Mihawk

Saint Shanks save Luffy
Saint Shanks give Strawhat to Luffy
Saint Shanks want to see Luffy

Copebros : Zoro will fight Saint Shanks

I s it wise to completely ignore what the vivre card says though?

He won’t this is not gonna be a war. He is not a Kaido who is a tyrant who enslaved people and starve them to death. I wouldn’t mind a clash, but it’s out of place to happen.

Doesnt nees to be a war to clash lol
Mihawk clashed with luffy at mf and aint see mfs mad about it

 

[PurpleSwordsman]

Zoro needs opponents that he can overcome and win.
Saint Shanks is not one of them. And this vs is completely random.

 

[stealthblack]

Same way kaidou was for zoro and luffy was just gonna take on linlin


The only way shilliew is a red herring is if there is another swordman in the bb crew, like the new guy we didnt see yet

 

[Adamxero]

We moved on from Zoro Killing Kaido to Zoro killing Saint Shanks



You cucks will never learn

 

[Finalbeta]

Zoro vs Shiryu shall look magnificent

 

[matt245]

While Sanji could fight him, I think Oda will make sanji's matchup parallel Zoro's by also having Sanji fight a full blown top tier/legend. I think Sanji vs Aokiji would make a ton of sense.

I mean, you can still dream about it.

You said Mihawk clashed with Luffy, Mihawk was ordered to face the pirates. It’s wasn’t Luffy trying to prove he is superior or anything.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Also, Zoro vs Saint Shanks isn't like ZKK. ZKK proposed that Zoro would effectively replace Luffy as the MC of wano by defeating the main opponent of the arc.

My theory is that Saint Shanks allies with Blackbeard and is defeated by Zoro when Luffy defeats Teach. By current portrayal, Saint Shanks is significantly weaker than Luffy, as he wasn't even as strong as Kaido, who Luffy defeated. By the time Luffy vs Teach happens, Teach and Luffy will be an entire level above Saint Shanks, which means that Zoro vs Saint Shanks would be no different in that arc as Zoro vs King was in wano.

and you can't call this a "cope" when Zoro is required by plot to at least be close in strength to Saint Shanks at around the time Luffy beats Teach. Whether or not they actually fight, Zoro will surely be Saint Shanks level by that time.

It’s always Zoro is required by plot in my head canon

Shiryu is not fighting someone else bar Zoro I think. No one should be potent enough to tackle Burgess other than Sanji unless Yamato could do the job but I see her rather taking on Catarina maybe.

Burgess is a disappointment Franky is gonna be enough or at most Jinbei.

His hype is amongst the bests in the crew though

He is the closest to BB in terms of relationship, but power hype? Don’t think so.
