If Luffy will manage to defeat Kaido in a way that looks solid enough and doesn't involve much luck I will recognize that.
Just like I know that the Grandmaster didn't show to be particularly weaker than Kaido, not as much as some fans believed, given he had to salvage everyone's butt by tackling Hakai and so he was just in too pitiful conditions in order to proper match Kaido, not to mention he got stronger since his rooftop times too.
I would have loved to see Zoro vs Kaido without any hijacks just like this version of Luffy fighting off an healthy Kaido whilst both healthy.
It's quite possible Luffy is simply stronger than Zoro right now but we ain't the ones looking ignorant in their depictions.

1. The grandmaster you believed in did not tank whatever Hakai you believed in. He attempted to Block the attack for one second that Law has to save him because he obviously can't take it. Again. It's a ONE SECOND ATTEMPT TO BLOCK. I capitalize it because you are intentionally forgetting it and making a declaration like Zoro deflected the attack or something.
2. After rooftop, his butt was the one who needs to be salvaged not once, not twice, not thrice. but multiple times. Sanji babysitted him, Chopper babysitted him, Marco babysitted him and now Franky is babysitting him.
3. His actions in the rooftop are merely fan service. It doesn't have any importance. If he cut off Kaido's arm at least, like Zorotards think he can do, but obviously cannot, then what he did should have significance. What he did is put a dent on Kaido's skin where it didn't even take 1 % of Kaido's stamina.
