Given the sudden turn of events with the leadership of Wano, it's now worth questioning, who between Orochi and Kaido wanted Vegapunk at the start of the arc?
I bring this question up because recent events have showed that the information and goals of Orochi and Kaido have not been the same for a long time. For example Orochi had no idea of the New Onigashima project and his own goals were to simply run Wano in the ground while leaving in luxury whereas Kaido wanted to turn all of Wano into slave labour or soldiers for his army.
Since this discrepancy has emerged, it then begs the question, who of the two wanted Vegapunk for their ultimate goal?
On one side, it's unlikely that Orochi even knew who Vegapunk was until Kaido told him about him so Kaido must have fed Orochi so nonsense about Vegapunk being able to increase Orochi's power if he were acquired.
On the other hand, Kaido himself has revealed that he's after ancient weapons which as we know require a lot of worldly knowledge to find and maybe even use so it's not impossible to think Kaido might actually think Vegapunk could have information on them. Kaido is also aware that Vegapunk has something to do with the Marines having a power to rival the warlords but this information was revealed in the papers AFTER we saw the Orochi and CP-0 meeting.
As of now, this is dangling thread in the plot that could very well be coming back around with Kaido starting off this world war of his.
The only problem is, Kaido can't lose tonight or else the thread goes nowhere. By that I mean, we won't know who wanted Vegapunk and for what reason if both Kaido and Orochi or are completely defeated in this raid. In fact we won't know a lot of things such as what information Kaido actually has in the ancient weapons, how Big mom's forces are going to be implemented in this war, how Kaido will actually kick off the world war, how the Wano citizens are going to react to all this. There's a lot of stuff that actually requires that Kaido doesn't lose now that he's been revealed to have much more interesting goals than we previously thought.
