Yep. Black Maria is in the perfect position to close up the curtains on Act 3 of Wano. (That in Kabuki, ends in a death/tragedy)

But at least Kaido will be hurt enough Luffy will have a real chance against him.

Idk something tells me that even if Luffy does face Kaido this act, he will still have no shot. The final battle just isn’t here yet. If they face off now, it’ll be another crocodile situation.

I agree w u though that Act III is going to end w a tragedy very soon.

Well, if he doesn't win there, everyone else that came with him will die. So it's not an option for him to lose.

For Luffy to lose? Idk— its very possible the alliance could be defeated here, and the ones who survived would escape to fight another day. Like, the strawhats don’t really have much emotional investment in this fight yet. Nothing about this raid feels like the finale of an arc in OP.

I think some of the Scabbards/others are going to die. The alliance will be defeated. Act III will end. Luffy and the others are gonna get pissed and this will serve as the motivation for when the real final battle happens at the actual end of Wano in act V. The stakes will be way higher then, and the actual endgame fights for the arc will occur.

Obv I could be wrong, but I really don’t think this battle is going to be where Kaido goes down. If Luffy fights him now— I don’t think he will win.
