i'm 50/50 on this chapter.
kaido deserves better than this speedrun patchwork flashback.
i thought kaido was drafted into the marines for being an oni, but it ended up being something generic like "you're too much trouble for us to handle so... bye", didn't oda play a similar card with big mom.
there was no way in hell we were gonna get a rocks flashback, i'm not even disappointed.
i like how mature kaido sounds at just 10 years of age, reminds me of sabo during the ASL flashback.
kaido was just an apprentice, but it was enough to raise the rocks crew to invincible status.
korozumi higurashi is the goat, RIP.
kaido and king interactions are pure gold.
the punch is visually devastating though it's a bit confusing, and it looks like it sent kaido into the same crater that where big mom fell.
