I also thought about that.

It's the perfect way to bring the marines and CP into this whole mess at Wano right now.

We know that Sakazuki didn't want to go there, because he had almost no intel on Wano. However, if Orochi contacts them and gives them intel (secret port etc.), because he wants to clinge onto his seat as shogun, we have a completely different situation.
That would also fulfill Orochi's storyline as a major antagonist in the arc.

My money is now on Drake and Sword or Orochi and the WG for the being the "in" for the Marines arrival.
 
I'm going to say 80% yes.

For the people who think he's alive, answer me this:

What the hell is Orochi's purpose if he isn't dead?
He is powerless. What is he going to do without Kaido backing him or any subordinates anymore?
Post automatically merged:

Orochi's death has to be one of the most unsatisfying villain deaths of all time. I think Oda is trying to swerve us. Either his fruit let him live thorough that or he was an ink drawing. Hopefully next chapter will shed some light.
Why is it unsatisfying?
He died the way he lived, through treachery.

Orochi was always unimportant, the entire "avenging Yasuie" plotline for Zoro can be tied to Kaido, not Orochi and Hiyori wants the best for Wano moreso than a personal revenge against Orochi. Orochi doesn't matter. The main antagonists of this arc are Kaido and Big Mom, and Oda did a great job of emphasising that they are CO-antagonists in Chapter 985.

I can see his fruit making him somehow survive too.

Maybe Oda wanted to show am "unsatisfying" death to point out how ruthless Kaido is?

what if he joins the alliance.

I think Oda might be setting up some sort of scene where the scabbards capture orochi and try to kill him. Orochi begs for his life and despite literally everyone wanting him dead, momonosuke decides to forgive orochi and let him live. In doing so, he'd break the cycle of hatred that made orochi a sociopath in the first place.

Oda could take Orochi's character that way. That's not to say that Oda is going to redeem orochi or even that orochi won't get his comeuppance, but rather that he will use orochi to show momonosuke's character.

We will see them fighting but come one we need Admirals, not guys who lost to pre Haki SH's, and now Oda tries to make them relevant.

Let's be serious for once xD.
Im not saying we didnt need admirals.

Because CP-0 is working with Orochi and Marine didnt know about that, maybe both Marine and WG will send their forces by their own.
Which means Marine might send some of the admirals.
And WG will send CP-0 (Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Stussy, etc)

I opened you sig cause I wanted to check if you added new Bae Maria pics and I looked at this panel from the past:

Look at this smile. It could be that she actually tried to be friendly but it looks more like "Hehe just drink it you fool".
What if Kaido informed what he's planning to do to the higher rank members like Calamities and Tobi Roppo?
Maria could add something to Orochi's drink to weaken him and maybe his powers were not going to work properly because of some poison? It's not like Kaido is weak but you know. More % that he's not going to live = better.

Yeah, I'm overthinking but hey we have 2 weeks...............

I dont think Kaido informed his plan to Tobi Roppo, because in fact he didnt even called Tobi Roppo about "New Onigashima Project" in the first place.

But King called them to capture Yamato. So i think Tobi Roppo dont even knew about "New Onigashima Project" before.
Kaido, Big Mom, and the Calamities might be the only one who knows the "New Onigashima Project" before Kaido announce in this chapter.
 
On one hand, I can see why people would say that he can't be dead, considering he's got 8 heads (but from what I understand, the Yamata no Orochi cannot regrow their head like a hydra can) and he's got a super cool fruit but...

Given what Kaido and Big Mom's plan is, what is the narrative purpose of Orochi being alive anymore?
 
Since so many ask about the role Orochi will play now:
He's potentially going to beg for help from the WG and it will be a three-way war for Wano (Orochi's samurai/CP0/Sword vs Kaido/BM vs SH alliance).

Classical role reversal. At first he tried to blackmail the WG ("I want Vegapunk!"), now he begs for their help. Maybe he even promised them to hand Wano over to the WG, if they just let him stay shogun as an employee for the WG.

That would also set the final war into motion. The WG would witness Luffy's growth and danger to them first hand for the first time since the timeskip. This could lead to Im/Gorosei finally declaring a full on war on Luffy and the SHs.
