Also, Loki(god, Norse) and Usopp(god, Dressrossan) are both tricksters, so there's a parallel.Some people have apparently stated Zoro will most likely kill Loki.
Loki, in Ragnarok, dies in single combat with Heimdall. Heimdall is the son of the one-eyed Odin and the 9 Mothers. Zoro has one eye and, in his own 'Godly' state, wields 9 blades. Heimdall's sword is called Hǫfuð, or 'man-head,' and Zoro wields a blade with his head. Also, almost every Norse God is an alcoholic, like Zoro.
However, I don't think Zoro is represented by Heimdall. If we're going by the mythology, there's a very specific interpretation I want to look at, if we want to do the Ragnarok interpretation, which we SHOULD, considering the foreshadowing of a felling of Yggdrasil, and Luffy and the group killing 'gods.'
Odin took his eye out himself. Luffy stabbed himself in the face, directly beneath his eye. Odin's final fight is with Fenrir. This could also be Zoro, but probably not.
Obviously Shanks is Tyr, who famously sacrificed his arm in Fenrir's jaw, which could be analogized to him assisting Luffy.
Nami is probably Thor. Obviously. Could be Zoro tho.
However, Zoro is most likely Freyr, who has a sword that can fight on its own if the wielder is wise, or something. He's killed by Surtr in Ragnarok because he gave up his sword due to a giantess he fell in love with, and since Zoro would not do that, he'd probably not die. He has, however, given up a sword to a woman from a family of tall-ass dudes, but he received Enma after that.
Sanji is Baldr. Baldr is essentially invincible, to a degree where the gods had a pastime of hurling objects at him to see what would happen, but for a very specific object, mistletoe, which Loki uses to defeat him, making a spear from it and giving it to his brother, blind and unable to tell what he held, to throw at Baldr. Mistletoe, in modern mythology, represents love, Sanji's greatest weakness. In some accounts, light literally shines off of him, akin to Sanji in Diable Jambe.
But with that all in mind, who is Heimdall?
Heimdall's sword is "Man-Head." Someone who uses "a man's head" to fight, is using his brain. His mothers are sometimes shown portrayed similar to the sea, and one of the Straw Hats has a mom whose name roughly translates to "wharf" or "dock" from what I've read. He's known for especially potent sight, hearing, and foresight, like an Observation Haki user. He carries a horn that can be heard in all worlds, and one Straw Hat is especially loud. He's good with runes, which could be an object lying around that someone could learn to use.
Usopp kills Loki.
