30 minutes isn't cap, it was several 10s of minutes according to the narration boxes that were given to us and the timelines of what was going on.
Unless you provide actual proof for why its 30 minutes, it's headcanon.
Your whole argument rested on the idea that Kaido thought Luffy couldn't use advanced CoC because he was too injured, when the far more injured Zoro, according to you erroniously, used "adv CoC" seconds before. Doesn't add up, at all.
LMAO stop acting dumb. Ive gone through it many times now.
My argument is that
Kaido already acknowledged that Luffy can reach that potential of using advanced CoC but will not do so because he is too injured now and his life was about to end here. Kaido
never expected Zoro to do anything close to that, which is why he took the hit without dodging. The moment he realized otherwise, he acknowledged Zoro as a conqueror.
And when Zoro told him that he doesn't understand what Kaido's talking about,
Kaido realizes that Zoro used it unconciously and by accident, just like how the
entirety of Marineford understood that Luffy's usage of CoC over there was by accident.
It has nothing to do with Luffy since he already acknowledged Luffy's ability to reach those heights when he compared Luffy with those 5 Pirates.
Here's a simple rundown so you don't twist my words.
Chapter 923/924 : Kaido acknowledges Luffy as a CoC user.
Chapter 1001 : Kaido acknowledges Luffy as a potential adv CoC user when he compares him with those 5 pirates.
Chapter 1010 - Post Asura : Kaido acknowledges Zoro's ability as a CoC user and a potential adv CoC user, although he used adv CoC by accident, which he very clearly communicated to Kaido when he said that he has no idea what he's talking about.
Chapter 1010 - Dead man Walking : Kaido says something along the lines of "Luffy's potential is gonna be wasted because he's already at death's door and I'm gonna kill him right now."
Air slashes are still very sharp, and if it was the "adv CoC" that caused the scarring then that giant wave of more powerful adv CoC being imbued in the air slash should have scarred him.
Well it didn't. So if anything it's your headcanon (
that air slashes should have scarred him) that is wrong since
Oda confirmed in that SBS (thanks for correcting me) that
Kamusari was infused with Conquerors.
So your source is SBS 100 not vivre card, thanks. no Oda did not say advanced CoC, he said CoC.
You do realize that the term
"advanced Conquerors" is entirely a
fan made term and the official term is
infusing Conquerors into attacks right?
Oda very clearly talked about how Kamusari and Togen Totsuka were infused with Conquerors in SBS 100.
Yes Kaido has grown, but the key was growing his crew with smile fodders+ tobi roppo. I got the impression (because it was in relation to the alliance specifically) that Sengoku was talking about compared to when they previously allied, aka when they were in Rocks crew, not when Kaido had established himself as a captain with a crew of his own and took over Wano.
You can draw your own conclusions but it was canonically stated in the manga that Kaido right now is a lot stronger than the one which Oden fought.
