They had some little wins here and there (Chopper defeating the virus,O-Tama making new allies,the defeat of some Numbers) at in those points it could seem that the Alliance would win. But then you see: Carrot losing vs Perospero,Luffy losing vs Kaido,Nami and Usopp not getting fights,Jack still standing up after he lost with the Scabbards,Orochi and Kanjuro still alive... and you start to think they could actually lose.
I think Orochi being alive is a hint of Marine involvement in Wano since he got no choice but to ally with the CP0. And I believe the CP0 is no fool to take both BMP and BP by themselves. So they might call the marine to come.
And there are still some other plots that need to be done such as the seastone craftsmanship of wano, Zoro being related to the Shimotsuki, luffy's vivre card, other prisons, the BMP, etc..

God I hope not, don't need Oda to drag out Wano more
Me too I actually a bit disappointed by all this dragging, but if the grandfleet and the marine come, I think it can be a way to redeem Wano to be a far better arc than where we at now.

It was like this before: KINEMON sank the ships, so they must win or they will have nowhere to run.
But then KAIDO is taking the island to the capital which means that now they have a chance to escape when the island gets there, another chance to escape was when the LEI members did not enter the island and stayed with the submarine in the sea, the which can also help LAW teleport all members of the alliance there or when the island is to land.
ODA was in a scenario where the alliance had no return, was to win or die, changing the scenario a little and giving 2 chances to escape.
This actually make senses.
