@Shimotsuki Ghostly I agree. If you want my opinion, I would say the following. Keep in mind that I'm mainly a Luffystand and Shanksstan so I'm biased.
- Current Kidd < Shanks (Kidd awakened his fruit but he is not ready to take down a yonko alone)
- Kidd with adCoc =< Shanks (he is getting at that level but he is still not ready to take down Shanks alone)
I think Oda can make Kidd be a challenge for Shanks if Kidd uses adCoC and he is good at using it.
However, I'm afraid the narrative will lead towards Shanks defeating Kidd here.
If Kidd defeats Shanks, he'd be closer to Luffy's level and it would shut Kidslanders and Luffystans.
I think Kidd and Law will be defated.
Luffy has to give the strawhat back to Shanks, it wouldn't make sense if Shanks lost to Kidd then Luffy gives him back the strawhat.
Luffy also has to face Blackbeard so it wouldn't make sense if Law defeats him.
