Speculations Zoro matchup for Elbaf ?

[warsame zaylai]

I'm having trouble figuring out who Zoro’s matchup will be in this arc. I don’t think he’s going to fight a Holy Knight. At this point, Zoro seems stronger than Sommers and Killingham, and since he can use ACoC on command, he could likely bypass their regeneration pretty easily.

Because of that, they probably wouldn’t be able to push him to a higher level, and Zoro wouldn’t really grow much by fighting them.

I also don’t see much narrative potential in Zoro facing the Holy Knights. The only one he has any real connection to is Shamrock that cuz he’s a swordsman.

I don't think Sommers is down for the count.

Luffy told him to remember Zoro's name, so that just might be it.

I don´t think Shamrock can fight on Elbaf, Oda pretty much wrote him out of the arc, and likely only introduced him so he could give us the Shanks lore before the flashback. He´s an EOS player, I guess. If he were to fight Zoro, he could reasonably even be Zoro´s *final* fight, since Zoro wants to be the king of hell and has a three sword style, Shamrock commands Cerberus, the dog of hades, with three heads.

It´s only deduction to say that he would fight Sommers or Killingham, with his goal of being to completely kill them, which would allow his name to reach the heavens(Mariejois)

Only DR-ed Loki seems like something that would push Zoro.
Imunko, Kham and Sommers are trash.

It's more luffy hyping zoro hype like always
there is no connection between them

once his name reaches the heaven that moment he will awaken black blade. Dont see it happening against holy knights
its EOS power up

if Loki gets DRed
i can see zoro joining in to help luffy

They don't need to have a connection.

Adversaries learning each other's names before or during fighting is a common trope.

It's not that deep.

Bros thinking that Zoro is Yonkou level to dispatch Sommers. Couldn't even take out the Domi Fodder permanently.

Mariejois is way more likely to care about him killing a CD(kind of unprecedented) then they are about a black blade, let´s get real

 

[HeroesNZ]

Still got my money on Zoro helping out Luffy against DR Loki. Struggling to see how this arc has any tension outside of that.

Couldn't even take out the Domi Fodder permanently.

Because you need to kill them to do so and it was stated Zoro was holding back...

 

[shastar-sei]

My ideal combat path for Zoro in Elbaph would be: defeating DR Giants (leading the giants and honing his ACoC), then defeating Killingham/Sommers (killing a Knight of God), and finally fighting DR Loki (a Straw Hat group battle, possibly ending with ZKL).

killingham

the sanji vs killingham stuff reads very much like sanji's interaction with king
