Finishing an effing YONKO "in an instant"? This plan screamed failure before it was even explained to us. The instant Bege said "I can kill her in 5 seconds", I didn't need to hear anything else. But let's look at how awful this plan actually is:

Multi-tiered: The biggest problem of them all. This plan happens in stages, meaning any particular phase of the plan is doomed to fail if the previous phase does not go off PERFECTLY. Worst of all, guess what Phase 1 is?!? LUFFY! I can't even begin to list off all the hilarious ways that Luffy can, and most likely will fuck this up.

Timing: Concluding that this can all literally be handled in a matter of seconds is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. These are gonna be the longest 5 seconds of manga history. I know Oda showed us in Dressrosa that he can stretch a few minutes into multiple chapters, but this is a new tier of foolishness altogether. According to Vito it will only take seconds for BM's forces to converge on them once they make their move, and I refuse to believe that they will ALL be able to escape quicker than someone is able to catch at least one of them. The mirrors only become intangible when Brulee is making physical contact, so they will all have to escape through a single mirror before splitting off into the ones on their respective ships. That's a LOT of people how have to go through one by one.

Assumptions: I feel like these will contribute to the plan's undoing even moreso than the other factors. Bege is making a lot of unchecked assumptions about Big Mom's reactions, which could get someone killed. Just based on it happening ONE time, it seems foolhardy to assume that Luffy will have exactly 3 seconds after the photo is damaged. Even moreso to assume that Big Mom will be perfectly setup for a killshot just she scrapes her damn knee. There's also the matter of assuming that the Vinsmokes themselves, or Big Mom's esteemed guests won't be getting themselves involved. They already named at least 2 this chapter.

Overall the plans on both sides seem awful. The only wild card at this point are the Vinsmokes themselves, and if Pudding is actually go gonna through with the plan. Seems like she could be having second thoughts. Not in terms of her actually being a nice person, but just in terms of carrying out the plan for Big Mom's gain.
