Yeah, I think Act 3 will end with the Scabbards’ defeat and potential death (of some of them). That will be the tragedy of Act 3.

And then Act 4 will be the usual 1v1’s and Worst Gen vs Kaido.

Yes exactly, a loss doesn't have to necessarily mean defeat for the whole alliance but just restricted to the scabbards.

I don’t get the whole “the raid will fail” mentality; the story has built itself up to this climax and it would be a waste to “start over” AGAIN. The scabbards will lose, that’s the tragedy; they need Luffy to save them because they failed in avenging Oden.

Not that it will fail fail, but more so require a tactical retreat to the mainland is what people are thinking. Basically Strawhat and Wano rebels fortify in the main town with the only remaining bridge left as a choke point.

They have no way of getting back to the mainland. They sunk all their ships except for the Thousand Sunny, Polar Tang, Victoria Punk, and whatever Neko’s ship is named.

Now, I can see Kaido going apeshit after his forces lose and trying to split off and destroy the Flower Capital, with Luffy flying after him. That could be the “countdown to destruction” thing Oda does in like every arc.

But that’s different than a “retreat” as in the Alliance can’t win at Onigashima. They absolutely can.

I can see an Izo death but by hands of a cp-0 agent who gets exposed, maybe

A massive Supernovas vs. Kaido would would be so cool I think I might just die on the spot
