No it wouldnโt lol. Marine fleets get wiped out all the time. What series are you reading? Crocodile and Daz destroyed a marine fleet two days ago and no one cared lol.
Plus the Straw Hats winning against such horrible odds would officially turn the WG into underdogs and thatโs not what Oda wants heading into the final war lol. I mean imagine Oda setting up the Marines as underdogs against Whitebeard, how meaningless and lacking in emotion that war would have been if Whitebeard were just expected to win lol.
Nah, Oda is going to turn the whole โLuffy meeting Celestial Dragon Shanks as a great pirateโ thing on its head. Everyone has been waiting 30 years for Luffy to sail into Elbaf triumphantly and then meet Celestial Dragon Shanks as a great pirate andโฆ.then what? Who cares?
Nah, Luffy is going to go to Elbaf defeated and broken and meet Celestial Dragon Shanks as a loser because that would actually be emotional and meaningful. 30 years of expectations utterly obliterated which Oda loves doing.
