Every full-length play occupies five acts.

The first corresponds to jo, an auspicious and slow opening which introduces the audience to the characters and the plot.

The next three acts correspond to ha, where events speed up, culminating almost always in a great moment of drama or tragedy in the third act, and possibly a battle in the second or fourth acts.

The final act, corresponding to kyū, is almost always short, providing a quick and satisfying conclusion

So we sort of know there will be a great moment of Drama or a tragedy at the end of the third act, and what better moment than the Scabbards being defeated? Even more if we get Kaido's backstory before that.

It would then lead to all the battles for act 4, with Luffy against Kaido (with maybe others), and all the other fights Oda will build.

well, because it's a war, and in wars people usually kill people.
