[ I am glad that you responded to both of us in this comment section. That makes this feel like a discussion and I enjoy such discussions. ] Ah ha, thanks, is just that compared to other "discussions" I had or witnessed concerning One Piece, you're refreshingly open-minded and polite.

[ As far as the idea of him facing King, I would like to see that. ] OTOH, given the fact that he's "King" and he can turn into a flying Dragon (Ok, yes, Pterosaur but close enough) makes me think that he'll ultimately be Zoro's opponent, as another reference to Oda's short "Monsters" (where Ryuuma claims that "King" is the name of the greatest swordsman in the world). Also, he reminds me of Katakuri, and another fight with a mysterious right hand man of an Emperor could be repetitive (but never boring). Speaking of mystery, as for his race, I'll bet my money on "unique Sky Person" (I did not remember seeing one of them in Whole Cake Island, and I doubt that an old, experienced pirate such as Linlin never heard of the Sky Islands).

[ On a closing note, I want to see him fall not just for storyline reasons, but also because he is a person who has managed to make me truly disgusted with him due to his personality and his behavior. I understand that he sought out vengeance for what was done to his family, but he seems to be taking out his revenge on all of Wano on people who have nothing to do with this feud. ] Ah, good. While generally I like "cool" evil characters, especially if they have complex backstories behind them, tragic reasons or a (good) excuse for what they have done, but I also adore characters such as Orochi, who are not only utterly evil, but also unlikeable. It's not the type of villain who can, even accidentally, inspire sympathy and have fans defending him. I see that he' s a greedy, wasteful, boastful, cowardly, cunning old bastard who's taking a rightful vengeance too far, but I adore him for such trait. It suits the narration perfectly.
