SPOILERS AHEAD FOR CHAPTER 984
So Oda with all of this off screening and jumping around doesn't make it clear where characters are and how they got to that place. Not to mention we still haven't got a detailed map of Onigashima.
But from where the characters currently are, I think it won't make any sense if anyone from Luffy, Kid, Law, Marco, Zolo group saves Momo.
Let's start with:
Onigashima layout:
X- Kaido's Castle (goal)
Y- Performance floor
Z- Pleasure district
Luffy, Kid, Killer and Zolo starting location
Luffy, Kid, Killer and Zolo all started from performance floor (Y) location
Queen is also at performance hall (Y), running the show
Luffy later tells Kid that they should all head to the Kaido's castle (X)
Kaido, Orochi starting location
Kaido and Orochi starting location is Kaido's castle (X)
along with Momo, King, Jack, Black Maria, Kanjuro and Fukurokuju.
Luffy, Kid, Killer and Zolo current locations
So looks like they all successfully made it to Kaido's castle (X) while being off screen, but they split up.
Luffy fights P1 and Ulti inside the castle:
Zolo fighting gifters:
Kid with Killer:
But now we know that all of them made it to Kaido's castle (X)
Momonosuke's current location
We see Momo's execution will take place at performance floor (Y) and he's with Queen
This was the starting location of Luffy, Kid, Killer and Zolo and none of them know that Momo's execution is taking place at performance floor (Y)
Kaido, 3 Calamities, Orochi current location
In the latest chapter we see that Kaido, King, Jack, Orochi and Fukurokuju all made to the performance floor (Y), to Momo's execution and Queen's spot
Conclusion
Luffy and the group went from Performance floor ---> Kaido's castle
while
Kaido and the group went from Kaido's castle ---> Performance floor
Luffy's group doesn't know anything about execution nor it would make narrative sense for them to come back all this way.
So they can't be the one to save Momo.
I just have no idea what will they do inside the castle, the only powerful people there are: Maria, P1, Ulti, Kanjuro and maybe XDrake.
Who will save Momo?
We can see that Robin, Jinbei and Hyou group all made it to performance floor and are about to witness Momo's execution
Big Mom and Nami's group are also very close to performance floor
and Nami's group goal is to save Momo, so it's safe to say they also will play a role in Momo's rescue
And I think the key role in saving Momo will be- Sanji
Sanji's been mentioned a lot by Nami and how he disappeared. Oda is probably just setting up this as explanation why Sanji got there first.
Sanji is also best person in the alliance equipped to deal with this:
Execution site is very high up- Sanji has flight
Kaido and 3 calamities will probably be near Momo- Sanji has invisibility
Momo will be an open target after saving- Sanji has a cape as the protection
That's it.
