Monster but its about Haki mastery and Haki control right?
Oden had physical attributes like young Big Mom but he wasn't a combat genius who mastered advance control of Ryou especial considering even pirate Oden was shitting his pants looking at Roger and WB's Haki.
If Kid Oden had better Haki control and level than Prime Hyogoro who knows advanced Haki, then Oden at that age shouldn't be shitting his pants looking at Roger and WB fight without touching blades.

Apparently it is hard to tell in Japanese when something is singular or plural without knowing the context. So, at the time the chapter was released, we interpreted the Japanese as "the one sword to give Kaido his only scar" but when we saw both Ame no Habakiri and Enma do it, we could finally get the pluralization of the sentence i.e. "one of the swords to give Kaido his only scar".
Basically, we didn't have enough info to properly make the translation. And Oda prepared the Japanese in such a way intentionally to highlight Enma at that time. There is no inconsistency. Just our (and translators at that time) misunderstanding due to Oda wanting it.

Also Oden scarring Kaido was handled in such a garbage way.
Like hype up one character as the peak of durability in One Piece, man that has been trying to die but no weapon is able to hurt his body instead weapons break on him.
And there is only one character to even scar him.
And then rush the shit out of that moment as well instead of giving the readers a bad ass fight. Instead of wasting so much time dick riding Oden, should have spent some time on one of the most significant things of the flash back.
Also Roger and Whitebeard two characters who are widely accepted as peak of One Piece, power wise were shown fighting in a flash back, only for Oda to off panel that too.
Comparing how My Hero Academia handled All Might vs All for One and how One Piece handled Roger vs WB should really show you a difference between an actually good anime/manga and a shit anime/manga.

am sorry but I cant guarantee your translation is better than viz translation.
I would need an answer from an unbiased source in this convo. That not being you.

It's alright though, I thought VIZ had the translation I was mentioning, that's my fault for assuming. But I swear that it's implying Kaido's scar is the only scar, not the sword being the only sword. Japanese is weird so can even see why Viz translated it the way they did, but it's definitely not right there. The counter is on the wrong subject word in English.
Edit: As @MD Zolo perfectly described, this is likely why ViZ translated it that way. There was no additional counter for the sword. So it either comes off as being the only sword or just a sword until you know more context.

oden scarring kaido has a lot more to do with oden in that case than the blades because the narrative good chunk of the community bought was it was a magic sword.
or another possibility
ame no habakiri is magic too because no other person has managed to scar kaido. does it mean oden is the strongest person kaido has fought till date?
but he clashed with mama and shanks.
or kaido got beat but didnt get scarred hmm

"カイドウに唯一傷" quite literally means "Kaido's only scar". There is no counter for Enma or "Legendary Blade".
Viz translation, if you have read some of their translations in the past, clearly have mistakes here and there. I see the one you are posting. I personally don't agree with it as with the above.
Here is a translation I like better.
It may not be perfect, but Viz is not end all be all. They clearly got it wrong here.
Am I as good at translating as EtenBoby? Hell fucking no. But I have several years experience in college japanese and that very clearly has the counter with Kaido's scar, not Enma, which is only referenced in the top text bubble and then "A Legendary Blade" is referenced AFTER "Kaido's only scar". Japanese sentences are not spoken like English so there are plenty of liberties taken on how a sentence is translated, but once again this is not singling out Enma, it is singling out Kaido's scar.
Any other japanese speaking users can confirm
Thanks for wasting my time. You can eat shit now.
Read the above.

Oh yeah, I remember that it was mentioned that the battle at Wano would make "Marineford look cute". I wish that was never said since it's obvious that Marineford and Wano are two very different kinds of arcs. 
It is just as the Viz says. Yes the Viz has had mis-translations in the past; but that was before Stephen Paul. Everything by Stephen Paul has been very near accurate when translated. I say very near, because there will always be things that are weird when translating to English such as the "port incident"
