The large intestine plays a crucial role in absorbing water and electrolytes from the waste material as it passes through the digestive system. Without a large intestine, the body would struggle to retain water, leading to excessive fluid loss in stool. This can result in severe dehydration, as the kidneys would also be unable to conserve water efficiently. Without adequate hydration, vital bodily functions would be compromised, potentially leading to life-threatening conditions.

What will happen if no small intestine?
The large intestine has, as its major function, the removal of water from the digestive tract at the end of the digestive process. (The small intestine is the primary absorber of nutrients from out of the digested material.) Without a large intestine, you'd have a much more liquid bowel emission. And you'd need to drink more water, too. It's not the best deal in the world, but it is something that can be lived with and just requires "management" on the part of an individual who has, due to accident or disease, lost the large or a large portion of the large intestine. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the large intestine.

Yes, but only with medical support. Individuals who have the large intestine removed, or with an intestinal bypass, may have their ileum directly connected to the colon or rectum, and will not utilize the large intestine (an ileostomy is often used as an intermediate step). Since absorption of nutrients takes place in the small intestine, this allows continued metabolism. However, this condition can lead to dehydration due to lack of water absoption, and deficiencies of some vitamins that are taken in through the large intestine.
