The only thing in Luffys mind right now is Sanji and thus his immediate goal is not to take down Kaidou but to get Sanji back...

Which immediately makes your argument invalid.

What i take from the latest pages of comments is that Oda apparently does forshadow.. don't know why Forik says that after 2 or 3 pages of saying otherwise

I skipped the last two or three pages. Go me!

yes but aside from getting back sanji, theres no reason at all for them to be going to whole cake island, its a detour

I like that the one time it was admitted that Oda does foreshadow, it was about something that isn't foreshadowing. When Luffy talks to Big Mom at Fishman Island it sets up a later confrontation. It's a part of the plot.
Foreshadowing is subtly hinting at something that happens further down the line. This is a straight up confrontation, it doesn't get any less subtle.

Detour - "a long or roundabout route taken to avoid something or to visit somewhere along the way"
Getting Nami back was then technically a detour from getting to the grandline, their main destination at the time.
Getting Ace back was then technically a detour from regrouping with the crew, Luffys destination at the time
Getting Robin back was then technically a detour from getting to the new world, their main destination at the time.
It's funny how stupid your argument sounds when applied to other situations right? You're literally arguing against your own logic right now. None of these arcs are side plots, and yet by your own standards applied to this arc they would be considered as such. You can now see how stupid you sound to everyone else when you claim this arc is a side plot.

Getting Nami back was then technically a detour from getting to the grandline, their main destination at the time.
getting Nami back was needed to even get to the grandline though, none of them could navigate at all
Getting Ace back was then technically a detour from regrouping with the crew, Luffys destination at the time
Luffy changed his destination, getting Ace back was far more important so he put reuniting on hold and went to rescue ace
Getting Robin back was then technically a detour from getting to the new world, their main destination at the time.
at that point in there story they didnt even know how to get to the new world
hell im not even sure they had heard the term new world at that point in the story
It's funny how stupid your argument sounds when applied to other situations right
the only thing thats funny is you think you made a coherent argument

which would only work if Luffy considered this a "rescue" hes just going to pick up Sanji

Pfff... how is that even relevant to whether it's a "side-plot" or "main plot". I'm sure Big Mom and Germa would consider this a "rescue".

so? im failing to see how that matters
Luffy is currently going to Wano, on his way there he is stopping by whole cake island to pick up Sanji and then continue on to wano
instead of going straight to wano he is DETOURING to whole cake island to grab sanji and then continuing on to his true immediate goal

Hasn't also been demonstrated in this arc that the crew would literally die without Sanji because Luffy is a glutton and an idiot. Not only did he eat all their rations he ate a super poisonous thing. It's like Oda was trying to show how important a cook is on a crew.

I blame nami and others. They could've cooked but they let the worst person to handle doing anything remotely normal, luffy didn't even know how to cook and spent all the food testing cooking lol
