“The Raids going too smoothly and the Straw Hats celebrated their win before going into battle at Onigashima…there needs to be an “all is lost” moment in this arc that spurs the Straw Hats into the growth they need to become a proper Yonko crew before they can beat Kaido and Big Mom”
His points weren’t that unreasonable, which is why people got behind them. And technically, the Raid did fail for half a chapter after Luffy got killed and Kaido descended to the Main Hall to start picking off his crew one by one. For half a chapter the Straw Hats were at Kaidos mercy and were saved from getting wiped out after refusing to join the Beast Pirates by literal divine intervention (the Nika fruit choosing that extremely critical time to awaken)
