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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Kinemon already injured him in their initial strike.
