Luffy will defeat Shanks, and Zoro will defeat Mihawk.
Both.

Edit: CG might have weird matchups, so idt it'll be like Kaido's, but still, their leader is Zoro's foe.

As cuul as it'd be, I don't think they will get to fight the Red Hair Pirates.
Legit, think the latter are gonna be hype tools for Teach and his boys tbh, though I don't think said defeat will be the end of the Red Hair Pirates, we'll probably still see them in some capacity after the SHs defeat the BB Pirates, maybe when all is said and done and the SHs have defeated Teach and are the clear favorites for the OP, they fight the Red Hair Pirates as a formality.

Cross Guild on the other hand are very much looking like opportunists at least with regards to their approach towards the OP, so I predict that they will most likely go after the SHs when they are at their weakest probably just right after the SHs v BB Pirates kinda like Rokugyu's attempt on Wano. Reckon the WG will also try to jump them as well so we could very well see SHs v Cross Guild + WG in a three way fight for the OP. Hell Shanks usually appears in this kinda situations so, SHs & Red Hair Pirates v Cross Guild and WG potentially.

No.

The only pirate crew that the SHs are solidly set up to defeat by EoS are the BB pirates. No one else. This is near confirmed by now.

RHP will most likely be taken out by BB crew first. Teach with a third DF could use them as a hypetool to showcase his new strength.

CG will continue their Buggy gag shenanigans till they somehow reach Laugh Tale, where the only possible matchup there is Zoro vs Mihawk (which could get interrupted).

I don't expect anything else pirate-wise. All thats left will be WG and Marines after.

Don't think the SHs pirates are gonna fight the SHP since they are practically BBPs hype tool and I doubt Oda is gonna have a YC crew like Shanks' lose twice.
Also I want Mihawk vs Zoro to be a standalone battle, not to be overshadowed by Luffy vs Shanks in a 3 way fight

Yes, both.

How I see it happening: Free for all.

Same as Skypiea, Marineford, Colloseum Dressrosa and God Valley with the first and last being most alike.

Some of the crews with 3 Road Poneglyphs either arrive at the same time at Road Star or they gain a 4th at the same time some other way which sets them all on the path towards Raftel.

Some crews might drop out of the race before the Big Clash (Kidd & Law for example, fate unknown). Marines, WG and RA could also be players. All in all 4-6 different factions battle it out, Imu being Enel and Gorosei being Holy Priests + Yama.

I dont know how people imagine a fight between Luffy and Shanks.
A swordsman who can cancel Luffy's abilities and one-shot him with each swing of his sword.
The amount of plot armor needed to make this fight would make Katakuri and Kaido fight look cute and those 2 had tons of it already.

There has to be some narrative payoff between the two regardless but a serious fight isn't needed.
Shanks is narratively important as he is Luffy's goal, putting together a crew better than Shanks'.
However, the goal is achievable by beating a crew that beats Shanks' crew - Blackbeard pirates.

Cross Guild fight is guaranteed to happen, people underestimate the relevance of this match-up and some even think it wont happen.
People think Davy Back Fight was introduced for no reason, a throwaway plotline. No, SH vs CG is where it pays off.
It consists of 3-rounds fight between the two crews and also it just happens that there are only 3 triggers in the show as well as Power vs Power being guaranteed. Fame vs Fame and Wealth vs Wealth will be the other two rounds. This may be the final challenge of the show.

Buggy is Luffy's only true rival, not in strength but in ability to gather allies, to make people want to help him.

No
I don't see RHP losing against BBP as I don't see them as SHP allies/enemies they are in the middle way they of course be in the FW fighting against who knows Maybe holy knights?
As CG of course zoro and luffy are "enemies" with buggy mihawk let's see if more warlords can join to make lanji Jinbe fight dofla and croco for example

Luffy cannot fulfill his promise of creating a crew that won't lose to RHP if they won't fight...

I have a hunch that CG will be the ones who will locate the 4th Road Poneglyph since they are the only Yonko crew that has no Road Poneglyph copy... Perhaps, Shanks and Buggy will form an alliance so we will get:

Luffy vs. Shanks and Buggy
Zoro vs. Mihawk
Nami vs. Limejuice
Usopp vs. Yasopp
Sanji vs. Beckman
Chopper vs. Monster
Robin vs. Crocodile
Franky vs. Snake
Brook vs. Hongo
Jinbe vs. Roux
10th recruit vs. Gab
11th recruit vs. Punch

Cavendish vs. Daz
Bartolomeo vs. Rockstar
Sai vs. Galdino
Ideo vs. Mohji
Leo vs. Alvida
Hajrudin vs. Cabaji
Orlumbus vs. Ritchie

So you expect Luffy vs Buggy, Zoro vs Mihawk & Sanji vs Crocodile?

Aside from Sanji's Final Opponent in Pre-TS (Absalom) and his Final Opponent in Post-TS (Unknown)
His Main Fights were against Martial Artists & Guys who literally look like a Ball/Balloon

Martial Artists ---> Kuroobi - Mr. 2 - Jabra
Balloons ---> Satori - Wadatsumi - Queen

When i think about Potential Balloon Characters that Sanji didn't Face yet, i really can't ignore Lucky Roux, He looks exactly like a Sanji Fight,
And if Sanji vs Roux is bound to happen, then it seems that Red-Hair Pirates will indeed face against SHs

Not the whole crew fight but Zoro and Mihawk are definitely going to fight while Shanks vs Luffy might not be a serious one but they will definitely have a clash (short fight).
 
#20
they will fight the crossguild. that organization will fight for imu, during the final war. zoro vs mihawk, usopp vs buggy, jinbe vs crocodile and so on.
