All the casuals crying at this chapter like everyone didn’t predict that Luffy and Co. would take an L and then bounce back either immediately or at Kaido’s island.
Additionally, Luffy always takes Ls when fighting the final boss before he learns from those loses and defeats said boss. So far he has taken 2 Ls from Kaido. He thought he learned enough from the first one, clearly he didn’t because Kaido took it different levels. 3rd fight is either gonna happen immediately or it will happen at another place. Facts.
I am predicting someone, the lurking, will help the alliance or be able to hold Kaido & Co. until the alliance can escape/regroup and attack again. Most of the fodders on both sides will be wiped so 2nd round will be more focused i.e. incoming predicted matchups!’
