according this Korean spoiler and translation from Talkop, Momonosuke appeared and Kaido attacked X(Korean leaker use "โ—‹"). (korean leaker didn't specify how many people and who is X)
- At the end, Kaido appears where Momonosuke is and he attack (...) with his kanabo .

- (...) is a role that determines the number of minutes or Characters

(the leaker didn't say who it)
So the spoilers don't actually say that Kaido attacked Momonosuke.

I want to speculate on who Kaido actually attacked. Here's what we know from the spoilers:
  1. Kaido attacked someone that was at Momonosuke's location.
  2. Kanjuro appeared at Momonosuke's location:
    - Kanjurou arrives where Momonosuke is.
  3. The spoiler provider chose not to reveal who Kaido attacked.
  4. Redon hyped up the chapter and said the initial spoilers leave out a lot of juicy details:

The last time the spoiler provider chose to hide a character, it was Oden, and that was a major surprise. Their rationale back then was that they didn't want the casuals to get spoiled through social media. Oden's appearance was big enough that I feel their decision was understandable in retrospect.

If we assume they had similar motivations behind their actions this time, we can rule out a few characters:
  1. Momonosuke
    • He's the natural assumption, there's no point hiding him if he's Kaido's target as he is what people would assume anyway.
  2. Shinobu
    • She's Momonosuke's vassal.
    • Kaido attacking her is a very lame spoiler to hide.
There are many other characters that are outlawed by virtue of their presumed locations, so I wouldn't cover them.

The next major thing to identifying presumed targets is the below question:
Is "Kaido" really Kaido? There are two basic options:
  1. Kaido is a Kanjuro drawing.
  2. Kaido is the genuine thing.

If #1 is true, then I'm guessing Kaido attacked Kinemon or Kiku:
  • Kinemon made contact with Momonosuke and Shinobu and was heading to protect them.
  • Kiku wanted to kill Kanjuro.

Given that this is a Kanjuro chapter:
don't delete it

์ œ๋ชฉ "์ธ์ƒ์˜ ๋ฐœ์—ฐ๊ธฐ ๋ฐฐ์šฐ"
์ธ์ƒ์˜ : life
๋ฐœ์—ฐ๊ธฐ : Bad acting
๋ฐฐ์šฐ : actor
"A bad actor in life"
The "Actor" in the chapter title is most likely referencing him), Kanjuro being responsible for the "Kaido" we see seems plausible.

One way to tell if it's really Kaido would be if he's shown with Zoro's scar.


If #2 is true, then I don't think Kaido's target is a scabbard as that would be very repetitive (he already fodderised them), and it would be hardly live up to Redon's hype.

So characters that Kaido might have attacked
  1. Yamato
  2. Law

Here's where we enter shaky ground.

One reason to think that it might be Yamato is this "hint" from Redon:
If the above was not a troll, but a genuine hint, it might have been suggesting Yamato vs Kaido. Even though Yamato is not confirmed to be Byakko, the supermajority of the fandom expects it anyway:


So even if her DF is not confirmed, Lance could use Byakko to refer to Yamato and expect the fandom to get it.

Another reason to think that it might be Yamato is the extensive setup for an inevitable confrontation between Kaido and Yamato. That confrontation has to start at some point, so it may as well start now.


The main reason to think that it's not Yamato is that the spoiler provider said she is heading to the Rooftop:
- Yamato keeps going to the roof while fighting.
I have no real reason to expect there to be caveats to this, so it's probably not Yamato (Kaido remaining on the Rooftop while Kanjuro's Drawing of Kaido attacks seems fine to me).


As for Law, he's about the only significant character that Kaido could potentially run into. Everyone else of note has been spoken for.


To summarise:
  1. "Kaido" is a drawing of Kanjuro's.
    1. He attacks Kinemon or Kiku.
  2. Kaido is the real thing.
    1. He attacks Yamato or Law.

In scenario #2, I would bet on Yamato over Law.

Since Kaido betrayed Orochi...Think Kanjuro will switch sides again and sabotage Kaido. Maybe Kanjuro came to know about Kaido betraying Orochi after escaping from the scabbards(after that Oden bombing incident). Best chance for Orochi to have revenge on Kaido is by siding with the alliance temporarily
 
Some chapters feel so inconsequential that the raid could be shortened by at least half. Characters move from place A to B to return to A in 3 chapters without any major changes or developments
Yep Oda's editors are really dropping the ball.
It's worse when we offscreen Kiku vs Kanjuro round 1 only to asspull them not only being alive, but not properly incapacitated and actively going against the protagonists later. The Oden fakeout was inexecusable for how clickbaity and time wasting it was.
3 week focus on Ulti, then we don't see that situation for half a year, Sanji running around from area to area just for the lulz because Oda doesn't want to finish the arc yet.
