Law said that Big Mom was inside the castle so he knows where she is and he will probably go there to help Kid. And she is on the 2nd floor.
The same floor the treasure room, a quiet place to rest and where we saw Hiyori the last time, is and coincidentally near Inuarashi vs Jack battleground.
Obviously Inuarashi can't defeat Jack, he has yet to show his hybrid form and the dukes weren't able to defeat his human or beast form without sulong, so someone has to step in: Zoro
I'm not suggesting this to mock Zoro in any way, he did great on the roof but he is too weakened to defeat an opponent on par with Sanji's and i doubt he is going to be the only one without a 1 vs 1.
Jack is perfect. He is weakened as Zoro and a strawhat should defeat him just like Chopper is defeating Queen with Drake and Apoo's help, Sanji is defeating King and everybody else a Tobi Roppo. Brook vs Perospero is probable too.
Yamato would have been in a good choice if she was bound to become a strawhat, but she has no reason to go there, especially after meeting the scabbards so i started doubting Yamato vs Jack.
But Jack isn't just a good opponent for Zoro (after Law and Hiyori treat him at the best of their abilities) for his strength.
He is a confirmed swordsman and Zoro knows and despises him.
So they should be close, they shouldn't be that far strength wise in that state and they have a reason to fight.
On top of that, Oda while drawing the 1006 cover was about to do a very curious thing: put Jack at the center of the page.

Knowing how much Oda is obsessed with Zoro, was it a hint?
