So I have a theory:
- If Kaido heard about the Shichubukai getting disbanded, then he also must of have heard about the thing the Marines and BB are going after.
- I think that "thing" is Pluton. I have a big theory thread on it, you can search through my profile.
- If that is the case, Kaido/Linlin would need to compete with them very soon to obtain at least one of them. Shirahoshi is on FI. Uranus is still unknown. But Pluton may as well be leaked (its location).
- If time is of the essence, i almost half expect Kaido and Linlin to leave Wano (which is why Kaido wants Yamato to be the new Shogun).
- I'm starting to believe the "Ace" may exist because of this. If Kaido/BM are supposed to perpetuate the Rocks plot then I almost feel like they aren't supposed to fall here. Giving Luffy a battle with the Ace might work then, along with both crews actually falling here.
- Then, Kaido/BM could recruit Weevil, Shiki, Silver Axe, Ochoku or whomever else was part of the crew (former impel down crewmates)
Doubt it'll happen, but man am I a little psyched out about the possibility from all the "hints"
