Thats not possible either lol.
Says who? We have zero idea of the characters motivations or his upper limit as a fighter. We do know he can stop Kaido or clash with Whitebeard and Akainu.
My thought in it is that it all occurs during or right after the final war. You guys are severely underestimating what Shanks means to the plot.

@Cinera, if you can, allow us to change our vote. I believe it'll be post-Final war, just not an exclusive fight for Zoro
Just that the RHP can be after the WG/Im as an emotional ending to this series because it comes full circle:
- Fully understanding Shanks' ulterior motives
- Luffy returning the hat/surpassing his role model
- Zoro becoming the WSS
- Usopp surpassing his father
Whatever other character motivations come from the rest of his crew (Beckman is from North Blue like Sanji, could signify some history that we don't know yet). Idk, that's my thought in it, and it stems from the idea that not all Yonko will be taken down before Luffy is Pirate King (imo, at worst Blackbeard)
Zoro vs Mihawk occurs as his last fight because it makes sense and has been built up for 20 years. Imo, it occurs at the absolute end and with characters Mihawk is generally associated with, i.e. the Red Hair Pirates.
