I was going to sit on this theory until Halloween and drop it as a special but it seems like this is a good time to talk about it now.
Let's get started
Whether or not the raid will fail has been a popular debate throughout the arc, most notably, people like @mrmorjman have backed the idea that it will fail.
The main reasoning for this, is the apparent overwhelming odds against the alliance.
As 1029 approaches next week we get closer to Ch 130 & the possibility of @yuderon1's prediction on Vegapunk coming true. My own Vegapunk theory is attached to this and soon we may have an answer on his identity.
He may not be the CP0 leader but i'm almost certain he is coming!
I'm not sure how many people notice this but all of Vegapunk's experiments have a link to Wano.
The first time we hear the name, 'Joyboy' is when Robin found the Poneglyph in Fishman Island.
She comments that it seems like an apology letter. She wonders who this Joyboy could be apologising to.
Neptune later explains that that passage is addressed to the mermaid princess.
Through this conversation with Neptune, Robin asks if the hidden name of the mermaid princess might be Poseidon. Remembering the poneglyph in Skypiea indicated that Poseidon would be found on Fishman Island.
The first time we hear mention of the Will of D. Is in Drum Island. Kureha talks to Dolton about Roger's real name. Gol D. Roger.
"So the Will of D. Still lives?"
The next time we hear about 'D.' It's from Robin. After Luffy's initial defeat by Crocodile, she pulls him in the sand and asks him. Why do those with D in their name always fight?
Luffy is quite oblivious as to what the hell she's talking about
