I'll reshare the scene I imagined around the end of Wano:
>cover story
>small isolated community
>people are happy within their own culture, but feel cut off from the outside world
>marines and WG are unfair to them without doing anything to stop pirates, bandits, mobs etc.
>the people worship two idols of a giant man and woman in front of a volcano
>one day a catastrophe is happening involving corrupt marines and a pirate invasion
>the people pray in desperation
>the volcano answers
>from a great pillar of magma strides two "giants" resembling the statues exactly
>Kaido and Linlin have lost their horns and excess chubb respectively, have scars and scant clothing but otherwise look like an older version of their prime selves, less evil now
>cue several pages of them kicking ass and basically restoring order, granting freedom to the people
>it's established that the two have had a kind of change of heart and are happy to retire from their pirate empires
>but out of awareness of what they witnessed at God's Valley, they admit that they may need to act one last time before the end of the world
>the entire cover story is a recapsulation of the entire power conflict and peace/freedom message of One Piece and how sinners can be redeemed to fight true evil
