Questions & Mysteries What if These 3 had stayed Enemies instead? And Who would've made the most impact?

#1
All these characters are now allies but hypothetically what if they stayed as Enemies?
Would the Arc Be much better? And Who would've had the biggest impact on the story?

1. Kyoshiro: He stays loyal to Orochi, and never returns to the scabbards.



2. X Drake: He's able to keep his role on Kaidos side without suspicion and stays an enemy for the arc rather than ally.



3. Kamazo: Despite seeing Kidd, Killer Keeps his role as Kamazo and never returns to the Kidd Pirates.

Would the Arc Be much better?
Don’t think so , wouldn’t change a thing if the pace is still trash


And Who would've had the biggest impact on the story?
Not sure about impact
But I guess kyoshiro because he’s the closest to orochi who has ties with zoro so maybe him

Well Kamazo factually made the biggest impact, that is a fact. I believe Kyoshiro has been constantly overrated capabilities wise, he never truly demonstrated to have what it got to pose remotely a serious danger unless it was for the weakest beings.

I honestly has so much expectations for Kyo that when he was revealed as an ally I had a huge disappointment for him as a character. This guy could have had the potential to possibly kill Orochi and somehow gain his DF and become the new Shogun and be the mew rising ally power for Kaido, but Oda missed this opportunity.... then again it only reinforced the idea to never have high expectations for mew characters for me and I learnt my lesson. About Kamazo he could have become a great wild card.

Kyoshiro.
Instead of Scabbard #9321873981739812, he could have been an actual strong Wano samurai that could give Zoro a hyped battle.
Nah.

Oda intended for Zoro to be strong enough to:
  • Save Luffy nearly ten times
  • Block Hakai (thus saving all Supernova)
  • Scar Kaido
  • Kill Kaido

Even if Kyoshiro was actually an enemy, he wouldn't have been strong enough to be an adversary to Zoro.

Consider that Kyoshiro + Sulong Inuarashi + Shutenmaru + Asura Douji combined had much less attack power than Zoro on Death's doorstep.

Zoro was always going to kill Kaido, so Oda couldn't make him so weak that a YC 3 like Kyoshiro would push him to very high difficulty.

If Oda wanted to give Zoro a hyped swordsman battle, then Kaido's strongest subordinate King is still available.

If Kyoshiro was an enemy

1) Orochi would have been taken cared of in an arc separated from The Beast Pirates arc
2) Denjiro might have been killed
3) The Oniwabanshu and Hotei would have been Opponents for Strawhats and allies

Why make Kyoshiro a YC3?
Why not make him stronger?
Wano and its samurais have been teased since thriller bark. Having at least 1 of them a strong enemy wouldnt hurt.
