The World Government knows who the next Pirate King will be.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Outside of his crew and friends, few in the One Piece world believed Luffy would defeat Kaido, the "strongest creature" on Earth. However, after Kaido's defeat a new ranking of pirate power means Luffy's success makes him one of, if not the most serious threat to central government authority.
While Kaido may have held the rather infamous title of "Emperor of the Sea," whether or not the World Government actually believed that role is questionable. And now, One Piece Chapter 1055 is finally providing crucial context for the group's past decisions... while showing where the future is headed for Monkey D. Luffy.What is clear is that the World Government thought coming after Kaido would have required an enormous outlay of funds .
Luffy's defeat of Kaido completely destroyed the "script" the World Government had been following in regards to Wano Country, eliminating a known threat and replacing it with a radical unknown. With Luffy now in de facto command of Wano Country, anything was possible, including the opening of its borders. But more importantly, in taking down Kaido Luffy presented a direct threat to the World Government by clearly demonstrating his potential to become the Pirate King.
Sending Green Bull to Wano Country to eliminate the "Luffy Problem" reveals the World Government's belief that of all the pirates plying the Four Seas, Luffy is the one destined to become the next Pirate King if he's not stopped. Indeed, after all these years, they refrained from taking out Kaido, most likely due to their mutual interests in regard to Wano Country.
While their intelligence might have suggested as much, it was only after Luffy's triumph in Wano, that the World Government made Luffy One Piece's top threat.Look for One Piece's newest chapter when it releases on Viz Media's website.
