TLDR:
-Cross Guild wants military power and a military nation
-Buggy knows Momo, Hiyori, Neku, and Inu, who are all on Wano
-Crocodile and Mihawk will want to invade Wano
-Buggy will negotiate an alliance instead with Momo, Kinemon, Neku, and Inu
-A single Admiral nearly wiped out Wano's forces, they need a military force
-Wano maintains its sovereignty, and Cross Guild protects Wano from Marines
-Cross Guild takes over the weapons factories and Beast Pirates
-Mihawk begins training Wano Samurai
-Crocodile realizes Pluton is in Wano
-Clown Stonks go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Croc: "The Utopia we seek to build is a military nations strong enough to resist any power... and for that, we need overwhelming strength."
Aramaki: "Don't you get it? It was Kaido's presence that kept me from coming here."
Aramaki: "Sad as it was to admit... Kaido's rule was a deterrent that kept people away from this land!"
Starting to get the picture? King's presence alone was enough to deny a Yonkou Captain's Ship, The Going Cannibal The Queen Mama Chanter, from entering the nation. (Also, anyone find it interesting that both Big Mom and Luffy ended up in Wano via a whirlpool? Man Marked by Flames???)
Wano offers Cross Guild everything they want:
-Military fortress that is nearly impossible to invade successfully when run by a Yonkou level fighter and crew
-Land full of natural resources
-Weapons factories for days
-Beast Pirate remnants ready to be recruited
-Giant untapped army of untrained Samurai Mihawk can make a legion out of.
Croc magically ends up where Pluton is after Kaido got defeated, which is a dream come true for him.
Mihawk ends up in sword land, and gets to "enjoy" himself destroying all the jobber Samurai (except Yamato, who could beat Croc, IMO, and could at least stall Mihawk before getting destroyed). Mihawk going to Wano also allows us to explore Black Blades and sword-based-Haki to another level.
But, what about Buggy?
Oh, Buggy, Buggy, Buggy. Star Clown, Star Clown in the sky. Got punched up there by Crocodile, I hope you don't die.
Buggy is what makes allllllllllll this work perfectly.
Never forget: Buggy and Oden were both crewmates on the Pirate King's crew. Look at em stanced up, goofin off in the page below.
And, Momo remembers Roger's crew, though his memories are hazy.
But, even if Momo forgets... guess who decided to stay behind on Wano, to serve as Momo's Samurai vassals?
Yep: Neku and Inu. And guess who they're best buds with?
Inu: "In generational terms, Lord Oden was a more of a kid an apprentice pirate back then, like Shanks and Buggy."
What's that? You mean, the famous Pirate Warrior, Buggy? Who sailed on the Pirate King's Crew?
Why invade Wano... when Buggy is best buds with Momo, Hiyori, Neku, and Inu?
The Marines JUST invaded Wano, and made a direct attack on their Shogun, Momonosuke. What's more, as allies of the Straw Hats, even before Aramaki attacked, the Scabbards considered him to be an ally of their ally, Luffy.
Like Aramaki said, until that power vacuum is filled, Wano is free game.
We know from the past that Wano, especially Momo, has no problem making alliances with Pirates he trusts.
Cross Guild needs a nation that serves as a military fortress and can expand their military might. Croc wants Pluton. Mihawk likes training people in swordplay (he trained monkeys to fight. Warrior monkeys. That's how bored Mihawk has been). Buggy is FAMOUS at this point.
Cross Guild has been attacking the enemies of Wano, the Marines, who just invaded it.
Wano needs a military force that can match their geographical advantages.
Buggy, Neku, Inu, Momo, and Hiyori will all hit it off, while Mihawk and Croc stare on it disbelief and anger.
Buggy's a bastard, but he's not heartless. Roger's crew is the most important thing to him in his life, he's been broken ever since he lost his crew and Captain. No way Buggy would be willing to betray the children of his former crewmate, Oden.
Croc and Mihawk will make a move to invade Wano, but Buggy will beg them to let him negotiate.
Realizing how beneficial Cross Guild can be to Wano, and learning that Crocodile and Buggy helped protect Luffy in Marineford, will be more than enough for Momonosuke and Kinemon to jump on board.
Wano maintains their sovereignty, while offering Cross Guild space in their country to defend it/train the Samurai under Mihawk to build a larger army to deal with the WG.
And Akainu gets up from his desk, erupts in rage, and goes, "DAMN IT! EVEN NOW, ROGER STILL HAUNTS US! If I can't go after Red Hair, due to the damn Gorosei... then I'll take this clown's head, instead."
Sengoku: "Damn, Tsuru. Now Buggy has allied Cross Guild with Wano. And we don't even how powerful he is, as a fighter, yet... Even amongst Blackbeard and Straw Hat... I believe that this Buggy has become the most dangerous Pirate on the seas. He needs to be put down."
And thus Buggy will surpass Kaido by taking Wano over in like a week rather than over several years.
Just how big will his nose legend grow? SUGOI, BUGGY-SAMA! YONKLOWN WHOOOOOOOOO
