I made this argument in WCI: Luffy had to be considered an Emperor before fighting Kaido for Kaido to take him seriously. And voilá, Oda made him a "5th Emperor". But he didn't really defeat Big Mom, and even in that hypothetical, he does not win 1 v. 1. It's Raid Boss like Dressrosa and Current Wano.
With the latest SBS reveal, that the "Joker" was supposed to be the "strong ally" by Kaido's side, does that mean that Luffy's BM beef originally would have ended early?
Even at the end of Dressrosa, we had Kaido talking in "we" the whole time, as in Kaido and Joker together planned to start the greatest War.
Remember, we are not dealing with BM's crew so far. The Straw Hats already "dealt" with them. It's just BM herself.
This clearly means, Oda never planned to FULLY attack 2 Yonko crews head on. 2 Yonko crews are too devastating for even the WG. Just 1 Yonko crew + 1 Yonko as a "strong ally". So in a change of plans, he "dealt" with her crew in WCI, and made her the "strong ally".
Does this mean the Yonko were originally going to go down 1 by 1 sequentially in Big Mom -> Kaido -> Shanks -> Blackbeard order? Maybe Shanks was the first Yonko Luffy 1 v. 1'ed?
Just to add this: Obviously Kaido + Big Mom + Doflamingo is too much, so Big Mom is not involved in this scenario.
Heck, I'd argue just Kaido + Big Mom are too much too handle as is.
