Did people really believe that luffy would defeat kaido with 100% of his power? That was the nail in the coffin for people saying: Luffy will come out stronger than kaido in this arc.
From the beginning there was a construction for the defeat of kaido to be justified... Initially he started fighting with 9 mighty warriors, in which two of them just defeated a YC3 and Perospero, and this more than once, since in chapter 1000, the scabbards are in a different position than in chapter 996.
After that, kaido expended island-level energy, to keep the island afloat and moving, nerfed himself in a nutshell. After that, he faced the 5 SNS, in which their main focus was KAIDO all the time, and kaido didn't save energy, by combining with BIG MOM and creating the HAKAI, island level + attack, expending large amounts of energy also from HAKI , received all the hits from the SNS, and in the end, still beat luffy with pre-Adcoc dominated, luffy with 3 almost maxed hakis, fought against KINEMON and then Yamato.
After that, Luffy rested, ate, recovered and is now face to face with nerfed Kaido who has gone through 19 enemies and carries an island all the time, Luffy who hasn't fought 40 chapters without rest, Luffy's only objective in the attack was kaido , he saved energy for him, while kaido was a general objective, which from the beginning had to face several enemies, if ODA wanted to represent kaido's defeat by demonstrating that luffy really surpassed him, he wouldn't have made kaido fight with 19 people , this is not a suitable scenario, wasting energy on other people, nerfing himself by erecting an island, ODA has created several factors to justify why kaido is falling, and why luffy is defeating kaido, and not because luffy is getting over it kaido, oda long ago left that idea aside when he made kaido face everyone 1v9 and fought all 5 SNS being the focus all the time.
Unfortunately not even PK luffy if he starts fighting a fresh KAIDO can beat him.
he.even said he wish he could fly the propel things is not something he could do always or maybe he just did it this time because he was force to either way we need to see spoiler tomorrow to confirm the situation
