So, in this upcoming war, these are the strongest besides Luffy (maybe should include Inuarahi and Nekomamushi as well)... who do you think they are going to be faced with? It seems Luffy will get Kaido, no doubt... maybe one will add Luffy in his fight?

Also, Zoro's new sword is said to be the one to lay a scar in Kaido... this makes me think Zoro will at least have a quick exchange with him, if not injure him somehow.

I imagine Marco will face King at some point, given they're both the top ranking Yonko commanders of their respective crews and both have avian DFs. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess. Most likely, Zoro will fight Drake at some point and perhaps Jimbei will fight Queen with some help (probably from Sanji and/or Kid). Most likely, all these characters will help take Kaido down, with it being doubtful Luffy will have reached the point he can take down a Yonko 1 V 1 and the immortality surgery of the Ope Ope no Mi tying to Kaido's so-called "immortality" seems like too obvious of a Chekhov's Gun for Law not to be instrumental in his defeat.

Yeah some ppl been saying Zoro will face King but I also think that's unlikely, unless Zoro has made a fuck ton of progress by mastering Emma. But the similarities between Marco and King can't be denied as them being likely opponents.

If Luffy is to become the Pirate King in the near future, Zoro will have to overcome someone of King's level some way or another. Zoro should be taking down one of the commanders in this arc. King, Queen and Smoothie are all sword users so it could be any of them. Marco will probably fight King though given the obvious comparison between them.

I could see Jinbe and Sanji taking down Queen assuming they've both powered up.

As for Kid and Law, idk about them. They'll probably fight Kaido alongside Luffy.

I dunno, even though I agree that Zoro could possibly fight one, we've seen from Big Mom that her top tier commanders are stronger than Doflamingo. Is Zoro at this level already? I mean, he trained with the new sword so it's possible, it just seems like a pretty big jump in little time.

He doesn't need to be now. It'll probably go like his fight against Mr 1 when he was challenged for the first time. He hasn't been challenged yet in the new world, so expect him to get stomped, but he'll probably advance his Haki in battle or master Asura.
