Lucci and CP0 certainly changed the scenario . Its possible we might see vegapunk's new prototype entering into this war.
Its more likely World govt will capture wano and luffy's crew will have to ally with Elbaf to not only open wano border but truth to rest of world about laughtale .
I am pretty much think wano is pathway to endgame now. Revolutionary army ,Grand fleet , disgruntled marines will join the war.
A Fate worse than death. He'll be sidelined while Luffy takes step by step toward Laugh Tale. And the SHs will be loaded with all stars and big names to boot.
Only time Oda ever had a villian get their Dream was Enel and that kinda iffy has his idea of being a god was shattered and was used to explore more lore
story just makes no sense if he survives the arc. he's already been captured like 50 times. it doesn't do shit. the arc ending with him getting captured again would just be goofy
I know Oda doesn't like killing villains but this is the one time it really needs to happen
