Zoro vs Mihawk for the title fight is dead unless there is a massive change in Mihawk‘s allegiance
Here’s one way Oda could do it. Zoro beats Mihawk in Elbaf or Lodestar. Shiryu also beats Mihawk shortly afterwards, so the WSS title is contested by Shiryu and Zoro. Zoro then beats Shiryu at Laugh Tale. Zoro then fights the Shodai Gorosei, the WSS from the Void Century and secret current WSS instead of Mihawk.

One of the things that would make me drop One Piece is for shit like this to happen, Shiryu has nothing, he shouldn’t ever be compared to Mihawk.

Also the story would be too predictable, Zoro conveniently reaches his goal fighting the same crew where Luffy reaches his goal fighting.

Mihawk and Zoro should have a proper fight to the death.

Why some of you think Zoro vs Mihawk and Zoro vs Shoryu are mutually exclusive things ? Why would Shiryu being Zoro’s final opponent mean Mihawk has to die ?

Basic story telling really.

Zoro's series long journey has been to become the WSS. The fight where he becomes the WSS is naturally then, his greatest achievement. It would be extremely odd for Zoro to go into his final fight already the WSS, because then what are the stakes? We already know he's going to win, he's the WSS. A defence of the title is dull, it's getting the title itself that's dramatic.

If Zoro has already beaten Mihawk... why should we care about fighting Shiryu? It would be like if say Sanji had beaten an Admiral prior to the final war and then was going to fight Avalo Pizarro. That's not an interesting fight. But if it's Pizarro who's beaten an Admiral prior to the final war, now that's interesting.

It's all about stakes. The final fight has to be the greatest challenge. That has two requirements- personal strength of the opponent seemingly greater than that of our heroes, and horrible, world-altering circumstances if the Strawhats lose. Mihawk has the strength, but not the consequences. A final villain needs both.

If that was aimed at wsm wb, then for sure he send his Best slash and not some regular
Of course but a true swordsman decided what he cuts if that slash was aimed Jozu it would be a different story

I get what you’re saying but if we get a clear proof that Shiryu is stronger than Mihawk, the stakes could still be as high. Suppose that Zoro will claim the WSS by extreme diffing Mihawk (which will obviously happen if he fights him anyway) then Shiryu neg diffs Zoro and nearly kills him before a rematch happens. Million of scenarios like that could occur without killing Mihawk and lowering the stakes.
