Yeah, Ndule Boy keep crying but this chapter proved you wrong.
Sobering up Kaido = Damage.
Kaido has been hurt by a bunch of rocks before. No ACoC involved. Luffy needs ACoC to match him, not to hurt him.
Kaido when luffy can now hurt him "how can his punch now hurts me? What changed..."
Also Kidd wonders... luffy himself trained to be able to do that
This chapter doesn't prove Luffy could really hurt Kaido without ryuo but rather just enforces what we knew that he could sober kaido but not cause real damage
It's time to move man, pre ryuo Boundman can attack kaido for hours and won't do a thing
Pre ryuo boundman is trash to Kaido and BM or kata
It can never win without adcoa/adcoc
