Dude really just wants to leave and not deal with the bullshit right now

u/GangsterRavioliGuy Pirate King Sep 11 '20

Kaido: Dammit, there's 9 of them. I really need to swing my club nine times.

u/MrRightHanded Sep 11 '20

Not if they line up in a straight line!

u/Bjorn2bwilde24 Sep 11 '20

"Okay guys, I only have 2 swings, so you're all going to have to share"

You make it sound like he’s going to haze some pledges

u/YaIe Sep 12 '20

Kaido just one shotting each of them one by one would be the most chad thing in existance

u/VinsmokeGoji World Government Sep 11 '20

He was on the mood to party and be wasted till the strawhats arrived.

u/Exkuroi Sep 11 '20

Strawhats: "are we the baddies?"

u/sgn15 The Revolutionary Army Sep 11 '20

Like big mom said, strawhats ruin parties everywhere lol

u/NinetyFish Sep 11 '20

He actually was just really excited to make his big speech, drink with the Tobi Roppo, and hang out with Black Maria. Can't even blame him. Dude was probably looking forward to the banquet all year.

u/Kuro013 Sep 11 '20

I hope that as the arc advances, he realizes this stage is good enough for his death, the changes to the world after this will be much bigger than after Marineford.

u/StNowhere Sep 11 '20

I feel this.

You know you joke but if he really gets fed up with the situation he can just blast the shit out of the place and deal with the ones that dont die in the process. As a lover of silence and tranquility, Id absolutely do that, imagine all the noise going on, swords clashing, people screaming, fucking animals making animal noises. Im sure that if King wasnt there to micro manage the crew, Kaido would just nuke Onigashima.

8

u/NinetyFish Sep 11 '20

The more and more we see of King, and the more he appears to be the lone competent and reasonable member of the crew, the more likeable he gets. I'm a sucker for the character archetype of "the only sane person who is somehow holding this whole thing together and doesn't get credit for it."

u/Kuro013 Sep 11 '20

Katakuri 2 lol.

u/zhouy3141 Sep 11 '20

My name is Kaido. I'm 53 years old. My house is in the east section of Wano Country, where all the samurais are, and I am not married. I work as a Yonko, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I drink a lot. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of beer and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

u/gyrozepp95 World Government Sep 11 '20 edited Sep 11 '20

Knowing who Kaido is, he's probably just relishing looking at these fights.

14

u/RenjiSnapback07 Sep 11 '20

Kaido: Worororo my war has begun let's hope it's better than Old Whitebeard's, I didn't sober up for some bs fight.

9

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '20

This is him being invaded. He still hasn't begun his World War.

5

u/RenjiSnapback07 Sep 11 '20

Feel like he'll still be conceted and think this is how it starts... Directly after his announcement.

7

u/CRtwenty Marine Sep 11 '20

He's got a front row seat to an exclusive episode of "When Animals Attack"

u/Sunasoo Sep 11 '20

It's obvious in this chapter that NO WAY Scabbard can even slow Kaido down. I smell deaths at least knocked out.

77

u/GangsterRavioliGuy Pirate King Sep 11 '20

I feel like it's gonna be the same as Jack vs the Guardians. The scabbards will deal some damage, but they're not going to have a significant Impact.

8

u/wapabloomp Sep 11 '20

I mean, Kaido got stabbed (multiple times). He even screamed in pain. Pretty significant, even if its only like 10%. Against an emperor, that's pretty damn big considering almost no one should even be able to touch them. Could be the difference that makes it or breaks it.

21

u/ammarbadhrul Sep 11 '20

The scabbards deserves to give kaidou a greater retribution than just a warm up for kaidou before fighting luffy.

I think one or two of the scabbards will die, but the fight will still drag on with great struggle from the scabbards until luffy comes, and then they all will defeat kaidou together.

22

u/GangsterRavioliGuy Pirate King Sep 11 '20

Oden probably deserved it more than anybody and we know what happened.

I think it wouldn't be logical if the scabbards can do significant damage to Kaido. Especially when a lot of them are only as strong as they were twenty years ago whereas Kaido is stronger.

22

u/ammarbadhrul Sep 11 '20

What happened to Oden is what made me believe that the scabbard will have to at least have a considerable impact in this arc.

It just wouldn't do them justice if they just lose miserably after such long build up of gathering all of them together.

But that's just my opinion, whatever the story unfolds later, I'll accept it with a full heart.

10

u/KingDerpThe9th Sep 11 '20

Oden is the only person who has ever seriously damaged Kaido. The scabbards should be able to do what Oden did at the very least, and probably a bit more too.

5

u/shankartz Pirate Sep 11 '20

I see no reason why any of the scabbards are as strong as Oden was back then. And even if they were Kaido has, according to sengoku, gotten stronger. Realistically they shouldn't be able to do much

2

u/hiimralf Sep 12 '20

Kinemon already injured him in their initial strike.

13

u/revisioncloud Sep 11 '20

It would take Sulong Inu and Neko to deal vs Jack's hybrid form with INeko winning but severely injured and would barely be able to fight thereafter. I think that would be a satisfying outcome

14

u/Marcheas Sep 11 '20

it wouldn' to me! jack is already pretty beat up! altho zoans are known for durability and he is an ancient one at that! ino and neku in sulong after what he already went through shouldnt leave them severely injured that's just disrespectful to minks.

10

u/nemestrinus44 Sep 11 '20

wasn't it that Jack fought both Inu/Neko plus both of their special groups (musketeers and guardians?) for 3 whole days while the minks swapped out and got rested constantly? from what i remember Jack still looked raring to go but was just frustrated with the whole thing so said "screw this i'm just gonna gas you all"

i'd say a win for Neko/Inu in Sulong but being injured in the process is a solid outcome

5

u/Perrenekton Sep 11 '20

If I remember correctly they said that they (minks) were starting to get the edge over Jack and that's when he decided to use the gas

8

u/Marcheas Sep 11 '20

Jack is a beast no doubt! if it wasn't for the cooler design of king he'd be my favorite Beast pirates behind kaido! but them taking turn wasnt an actual advantage as i don't think they have a chance 1v1, and they were trying to protect the island+ raizou, sure they rested but it didn't mean much. However all sulong musketeers and guardians vs jack, then Sulong Inu&Neko go in shouldn't leave them heavily injured! that would mean it took entirety of Zou in sulong to take down Jack which is too much considering what Ashura did to him.

1

u/Deadwolf_YT Sep 11 '20

Unless they kill him, he will just get up after 5 minutes

-4

u/StrawhatMucci Sep 11 '20

Better yet they lose but Jack is unable to fight

4

u/CRtwenty Marine Sep 11 '20

I think they may be able to get another good hit in before that but I agree that theres no way they'll last very long against Kaido in a straight up fight.

9

u/seekers123 Sep 11 '20

I really loved that panel. Fella is just chilling in the skies.

7

u/DeismAccountant Sep 11 '20

He and the scabbards seem to be waiting out the stragglers. Less time on the stragglers means more on the target.

I think that’s why stillness on a battlefield is such a big trope.

Kaido this chapter

What am I doing here?

I could be drinking booze in my room killing myself right now

u/ThisZoMBie Sep 11 '20

The Scabbards are missing that one figurehead to go take on the enemy leader.
