Now that two powerhouse pirates have teamed up in One Piece Episode 955, there's nothing but danger ahead for Wano.
One Piece Episode 955 reveals key members of the impending Wano Rebellion strategizing and organizing. Kin'emon adds extra detail to the secret symbol in order to communicate a new meeting point, and several of Hyogoro's allies go about tasks like transporting weapons, gathering more fighters, and repairing the ships at Itachi port.
But as the day draws nearer and the Scabbards and the Straw Hats convene, trouble looms on the horizon in the form of an unexpected alliance. At Onigashima the two Emperors, Kaido and Big Mom, reveal that they have agreed to team up -- a move that could rock the entire One Piece world to its very core. Kaido and Big Mom are both powerhouses on their own. Respected and feared throughout the seas, their names are held in the same regard as the Red-Haired Shanks and the late Whitebeard, and their crewmembers are notorious in their own rights. When two forces, such as the Animal Kingdom Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, come together and their captains set their sights on the entire world, it's going to take a whole lot of strength, strategy and skill to stop them.
In the age of piracy, becoming as renowned as Kaido or Big Mom is no small feat. Both are respected captains of massive crews; powerful Devil Fruit users and are incredibly skilled combatants -- clearly demonstrated by the two during their destructive battle in previous episodes. What is also noteworthy, and sets them apart from other pirates, is how far their leadership extends. Big Mom and Kaido aren't just captains of ships or fleets; rather, both of them control entire countries. Totto Land is known territory of the Big Mom pirates, and in Wano, it's no secret that Kaido is behind Orochi's corrupt rule.
Viewers would think that on their own they'd have plenty, and allying with one another may do little more than create a power struggle between the two Emperors. While this is certainly hinted at, considering Kaido's mention that eventually the two will go back to killing each other, Big Mom mentions that world domination is their first goal, and between the two of them and the incredible amount of resources they have access to, that goal may very well be as easy as they make it sound to achieve.
