The fact that he cut of Zephyrs arm is probably non canon but the strength assesment that he could cripple an admiral in such a way is probably spot on. Now the warlord isnt Mihawk and hasnt joined before the series began. The Warlord was imprisoned in impel down. During the Film Z Garp talks to Coby about Z. During his explanation he says that the think that made Z leave the Marines and want to destroy the world is that they have recently made the guy who cut of his arm a warlord. I believe Garp even mentioned it that the new warlord wa one of the escapees from impel down level 6. Go rewatch the scene i think its on youtube.

The zo arc will definately be a set up. The question is to what. To Kaido or to Wano ? I still think that Zo is somehow under Kaidos rule. I mean he is the king of bests and the name of the island is literaly Zo as in zoo. Oh sorry :D i mean your island Kaido :D
