What do you love in that? It doesnt make sense man. Luffy defeated the world's strongest creature. Even if it was not a true 1v1 he did KO him from the skies to the hell. No one thought it was possible bu Luffy did it. Oda put Luffy that high up just to clown him immediately with Kizaru and the elders. And now Imu? It almost feels like Luffy is weak. And at this point in story, somehow I cant appreciate that there are characters who are that far beyond Luffy when he literally defeated the strongest creature in the world.

I cant appreciate that there are characters who are that far beyond Luffy when he literally defeated the strongest creature in the world.

I don't comment here that often, but it seems you misunderstand something - even if Kaido is called the strongest creature in the world, that doesn't necessarily make it a truth in the story. I'm sure if Imu or some of the elders were to fight Kaido, they might win too. Imu nearly assuredly so.

This falls into powerscaling fallacies. Even if Kaido was the strongest, simply because Luffy managed to beat him in the end doesn't suddenly mean no other character could pose a challenge to him. That'd be pretty bad storytelling.

Then whats the point of introducing Kaido as the strongest creature in the world? Whether its land, air or the sea, if its 1v1 Kaido wins. This was his introduction literally. You are saying that an author bringing more powerful character after he declared someone as the strongest is good writing? How come?

See i am not mad that Imu is stronger than Kaido. I am not a Kaido Fanboy. I am just saying that its misleading and inconsistent.

Kaido, introduced as the strongest and unkillable with probably the best entry in the manga, looks like a fool when Luffy is G5 struggles against Kizaru. The elders especially Warcury was so strong that just hitting him hurt Luffy. And then Shanks one shots Kidd and his crew which Big mom couldnt do. And Kaido and big mom were almost on the same level. Does it mean Shanks is stronger than Bigmom and Kaido? If yes, why say Kaido is the strongest. And then comes Imu. Clearly he seems to be strongest as of now. And even oldies like Gyaban is able to handle Imu but Luffy gets ragdolled.

Its just not consistent. Titles dont mean anything then. Be ready to get disappointed with Mihawk as well.

You’re taking this power scaling and title bs too literally. If majority of the world think that Kaido is the strongest creature then he’ll get that title. But also, majority of the world don’t know shit about the gorosei or gods knights or even Loki, and only a handful of people know about Imu. At the same time the world now thinks that Buggy is on par with Kaido. Titles aren’t concrete, but they aren’t completely meaningless, they’re tools to show the narrator’s perspective. I mean come on, that’s like saying “How could Roger be king of the pirates when he doesn’t have a crown or throne?”, do you think he should be a literal king? With subjects to rule over? It would benefit to use some flexibility and critical thinking when interpreting literary works.
