As much as I would largely prefer for the BMP to finally arrive I have lost most hope to see them arrive until at the very least the middle of act 4 or act 5, and that I could see Perospero having pulled a trick to make them or their mother think that Kaido betrayed BM by the time they arrive.
Or something like the marines or CP0 coming to Wano and Smoothie's group fighting and holding them.
I just personally think adding an additional 3rd party is too much at this point, but maybe I'm wrong. We'll see what happens. Tbh, if its the marines/CP-0, they will barely get focus. If its the Supernova that fight the BMPs, we'd definitely would get tons of action panels if that's the case, considering their importance.
Like I'd love to see Drake, who is a marine, fight and defeat Smoothie or something. Or even Law/Killer. That WOULD be cool. I'm just afraid that if you introduce anyone else, Oda will either skip over those fights or barely focus on them. We are already sort of seeing that with Carrot/Peros, which is why I am guessing a supernova takes over that fight later on. Maybe not though

Do people see this arc having a 5 act structure or this is the last act where Oda takes these fights to the end without any intermissions/breaks?
5 act structure. 994 had an advert saying Act 3 was ending "soon". I think once all the matchups are solidified, or when Onigashima crashes into Wano, we'll get the Act closer. Another 5-10 chapters at most I'd say. I thought it would have happened already though
