While it sucks that Oden didn't have a Luffy in this situation, it shows he was flawed as a person and not simply amazing at everything, which I like since it makes him a better character. Ultimately, he did what he did for a noble cause, so even if it ultimately made things worse 20 years later, he thought he was doing the right thing. I think it would be a pretty great moment even if he does die in the pot. As this is an insane thing for anyone to accomplish, even in the one piece world. Likely he makes it the hour and kaido or orochi pull some shit that leads to him staying in it till death or straight up being attacked.
