This is big since Kaido was already >>> Ladmirals, that even Oda said in SBS it was Kaido > Lakainu.
Imagine how powerful Blackbeard will be, if he will be stronger than even Kaido.
Lets start from the beginning of the Dressrosa,
Kuro - Doflamingo
Syrup Village - Dressrosa :
-Kuro was pretending to be a good butler and deceived everyone
-Doflamingo was pretending to be the hero that saved Dressrosa and deceived everyone.
-Both have special cutting techniques
Gin / Don Krieg - Katakuri / Big mom
Baratie - Whole Cake Island :
-Gin was the right-hand that refused to kill weakened Sanji, and Katakuri was the right hand that refused to take help from Flampe.
-An arc that also focused on a right hand, Gin / Katakuri parallels
-Focused on importance of food, and focused on Sanji
Arlong - Kaido
Conomi Islands - Wano :
-The towns that forcefully ruled and tortured by the inhuman monsters such as Arlong and Kaido.
-Nami and people in Cocoyasi village suffered for years and lost someone important (Bellemere), same as Wano people suffered for years and lost someone important (Oden, Toki)
And what BOUNTY Luffy got at the end of East Blue Saga?
-30 million.
What bounty Luffy got at the end of Wano?
-3 billion.
You think this is just a coincidence? :zorothink:
At the end of East Blue, everything was going to be different. And as Marco said, at the end of Wano arc, the new Age might look different.
Marco: ''Next time you make it up here, this Age of ours might look a little different.''
So these are the paralells, so what Luffy's next big opponent will be look like from now on?
Arlong > Krieg > Kuro. Although they were close, just like Kaido and Big mom were close.
Then Luffy got Crocodile - Enel - Pre-TS Lucci - Moria.
While its hard to rank the Grand Line opponents inside themselves. We can clearly says Crocodile > Arlong, or Enel > Arlong, Pre-TS Lucci > Arlong, or Moria > Arlong.
If then, the only solid opponent that Luffy needs to face from now on is BLACKBEARD.
We might actually see something like this:
If these parallels are accurate, the power difference between Blackbeard and Kaido, might be look like the power difference between Crocodile and Arlong.
