Luffy has to prove himself to be PK by defeating all of the Yonko.
Big Mom and Kaido are present in Wano, but Luffy can only take one of them, and he’s after Kaido.
Big Mom is a loose end that needs to be tied up. She needs to be defeated because she will interfere in Luffy vs Kaido.
She has stole too much screen time for another arc with her in it. Now is her time. It’s been heavily foreshadowed both Big Mom and Kaido will both go down.
Why Katakuri?
It makes perfect sense for him. He’s a conqueror, but serving Big Mom. I’d expect after his defeat to Luffy, he’ll be looking at himself in the mirror and reassessing things like his loyalty to his Mother.
He has genuine empathy for his siblings, unlike his Mother, and that’s why they are going to end up at odds with each other.
Katakuri not being present at his Mother’s side when she is at most threat is fishy. You could say he is recovering, but Luffy suffered worse and recovered quickly.
I think at some point he will show himself on Wano.
He could be strong enough. He did not have the willpower to defeat Luffy. At the end of the fight he could have kept going, but gave up. Who knows what else he had up his sleeve.
If Luffy could make the gap to Kaido then Katakuri could make the gap to Big Mom.
