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

Shanks is never meant for Zoro and will never be. We just finished from this delusional ZKK and the next fanfic is Zoro vs Shanks? Zoro fans really be wanting Luffy’s opponents so bad. Either way Zoro surpassing 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 Shanks is you ignoring what has been said.

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

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

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

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.

Also, Zoro vs 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 Shanks allies with Blackbeard and is defeated by Zoro when Luffy defeats Teach. By current portrayal, 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 Shanks, which means that Zoro vs 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 shanks at around the time Luffy beats Teach. Whether or not they actually fight, Zoro will surely be shanks level by that time.

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

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.
