I think after us witnessing Zoro be awesome when he finally finishes Pica, Oda will redeem Sanji for getting jobbed twice by having him do something epic. He seemed quite intent on fighting back against Big Mom's ship, so I feel like he definitely had something up his sleeve. I also feel like they escaped eventually, and we'll get the story of what actually happened in the clash as the other half of the crew is headed out of Dressrosa and towards them. It'll be the end of the arc FINALLY, so there's going to be some falling action both at the end of the current arc, and beginning the new one. This to me seems the perfect time to show flashbacks of what happened in other places, as well as show the fallout of what's happened. I think our intro to Kaido will be part of that fallout, and it will be him realizing the role of the Straw Hats in all this.

If we're going to entertain the scenario that Kaido kills Doffy, I want the answers to a few questions: Even if there's some kind of emergency dendenmushi to Kaido where he'll find out instantly if the factory's been destroyed, how quickly can he realistically get there? Assuming Fujitora wants to capture Doffy, is Kaido really gonna risk all out war with the Navy by showing up now? Would Oda really send Kaido to wreck shop on Dressrosa after the country's finally gotten back to normal? If Doffy's taken to Impel down, would Kaido really risk trying to break in to finish the job? Fujitora doesn't think the Navy can be heroes here, and wants to abolish the Shichibukai system, so I think it's going to become quite well known Luffy's role in all this, and most notably to the powerful people in the New World, like Kaido.

From there is when I think Zou/Wano Country makes sense, and through these journeys of the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates moving as one unit, it will end with a confrontation with Kaido. And there will be blood. Lots of blood.
