Break Week ZKK was possible wdym??

Not possible, never had a chance of being possible. Zoro is too weak and not important enough to have ever had a chance.

If you're dumb enough to believe that killing a dragon on punk hazard and getting Oden's sword was foreshadowing for killing a yonko and world's strongest creature when Luffy is right next to him, that's on you.

Zoro is my favourite straw hat but I no longer want to be associated with Zoro fans because of this theory.

ZKK was a solid theory, it's disingenuous to act like it was garbage. It's almost feels like Oda gave up on it or something tbh.

Here are some solid points that were going for ZKK :
- Dragon (Kaido) vs Tiger (Zoro) : Tiger vs Dragon is a common theme in Japan.
- Ryuma Zoro parallels : Ryuma has cut down a Dragon in Wano and that is his best known feat.
- Enma (The only sword to have scarred Kaido before) and inherited will from Oden.
- Zoro's desire to fight Kaido : Zoro has never before had such a desire to fight a main villain, he usually leaves it to Luffy and believes in him.
- Wano was clearly supposed to be Zoro's arc, and where he will shine most, so we believed he would have a better role than his usual role of defeating the second strongest.

Of course, there's more but this is just what I can remember lol...

Or never planned on it

If you look at it from a certain angle, ZKK makes/made sense. Between their symbolism(dragon vs Tiger) Zoro having tha only sword to ever scar Kaidou, Zoro saying he wanted to fight Kaiodu, Zoro being tha new age Ryuma

Objectivist had merit. Tha biggest issue was you had to assume that Oda was gonna have one of tha MC kill someone. Not jus main characters. But one of tha 3 most important characters to tha story and someone who we’ve been with since chapter like 1 or 2. It wasn’t gonna fuxkin happen

Who would that be?
Snake mentioned by Dorry/Brogy & also seen drawn by Moon People in Enel's Cover Story
It's basically World Serpent, inspired from Norse Mythology obviously

While Land of Gods mentioned by WB is World Tree (Destroyed)
Ancient Kingdom is related to both, with a Piece of it still existing inside that World Dragon

All Three represent Major Kingdoms of The World with each being Original Home of Samurai (Ancient Kingdom), Giants (World Dragon) and
Celestial Dragons or at least who they Worship (Land of Gods)

Ancient Kingdom Original Name is "Ryuo Kingdom" or basically Kingdom of Flowing Sakura. World Snake's Name is "Mantra" while Land of Gods was given a Name related to Haoshoku Haki, but it's Exclusive to Mary Geoise similar to how Wano call CoA as Ryuo (Not revealed yet but maybe Hinted at somewhere)
