Future Events Zoro holds back Big Mom during the War?

#23
Jinbe blocked a a full-on sword attack by her, and he doesn't even have a sword, so... I would put Zoro a good deal above Jinbe in all-around blocking and also somewhat in strength. It would be a huge challenge, but he would survive a while, although he would tire out and be overcome more and more (and BM would have to be slightly nerfed to hold back some ultimate attacks or elemental attacks). That's all.
It would be contrived by plot (or BM's stupidity) to work well enough, and Zoro would have to grow above himself and have one of his "suffer" episodes.

No, I don't think it's likely to happen. And it would be kind of boring and ultimately futile nonetheless, so there are better ways to tell a story, and especially better ways to have Zoro fight.
It's also kind of randomly contrived by plot that Zoro can't deal the damage Luffy is supposed to be able to deal soon, by the way, although some attacks he does look like that and he might have figured it out by this point. And Luffy is bound to have some blocking moments, and even hit-but-not-down moments (with invisible Haki aura or so).

The dude simply asked if he can "HOLD BM" not beat her. Yes, he can. He doesn't need to clash with her or sh*t like that to hold her off. She is dumb and childish. Remember how she got clowned at WCI? The same can happen here.
Holding someone off for some time doesn't mean = Fighting, clashing or wounding someone.

With all the Samurai's being reduced to Fodder, the possibility of Big Mom actually being the strongest Swordsman currently in Wano is actually something to consider. If that's the case could Zoro's main task during the War be to fight and hold off Big Mom, until more allies show up?
Since the beginning I've been on the theory that even if Luffy teams up with Kidd and Law, they won't be able to defeat Kaido. And that the first half of the War is to hold out long enough for the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies to come.
If that's going to get the case, could we see Zoro vs Big Mom? Where Zoro doesn't have to beat her but simply keep her busy (possibly in the Mirror World)?
So luffy, kid and law can't defeat Kaidou and have to fight for time, but Zoro can hold back Big Mom alone?

If we’re taking fully healthy BM with who has her full powers then no... she smoked Hyo and Luffy without Haki and DF... she’s already handicapped without Zeus tbh but still no :kayneshrug:
