Can't say Oda was inconsistent. Oda hates "evil" characters that do bad and always makes them suffer the most. Most folks forgot that Kid is far more ruthless than even Akainu. He has a much greater numbers of killed civilians on his back even pre ts. The Luffy influence made him seem more likeable but ultimately the "good" person Shanks gave Kid what he had coming.
Akainu murdered a random Marine lol.
 
People should've taken Kaido's top 5 for face value I guess


I just wonder what Oda intend to do with Sakazuki/Teach; im really interested to see how this turns out ... cause realistically Shanks vs Luffy is now strictly higher duel than Luffy vs Sakazuki/Teach


The Gap between BM/Kaido and Shanks is kinda too crazy tho ... im just hoping we see more out of Sakazuki/Teach and even Dragon to see where they stand compared to Hakiman Shanks

..And then power.
The Admirals are all relative but Akainu could extreme diff Kuzan.
Eventually, BB will be a certified Yonko level character with Advanced Haki and/or Awakened fruits.
Buggy isn't an exception- He's a swindler who accidentally tricked the World Government into thinking he's a powerful force with a lot of followers and territory.
Why don't people get that the Admiral and Yonkou positions were always inherently different?

Admirals are chosen by strength. They must rank above all other Marines below Admiral rank to make the cut, it's solely based on PL.

Yonkou can get their position when they have a huge fleet, territories and fame. Being strong just goes along because a weak person unlike they're buggy can't command a fleet. Strength is a necessity but not a criteria.

What me triggers about the Chapter is not Kid losing. That he wont be able to win this battle was pretty clear from the beginning. Sure, I had the wet dream about him winning, but I knew the circumstances and chances for that are horrible small.



But what me triggers is the way how he loses. Oda makes him eat one simple attack and spits on everything Kid was build up before. Every storyprogress for him, everything his character stands for, every started plotline, buried in dust, just for stupid fakehype, for simple sales.



There is so much content, which Oda decides to just bury with Kid.



Beginning his whole character building in Saboady, together with Killer.

His plotline about Shanks Crew having fought him before. Some redemption hinted, in dust.

His plotline of raiding WCI and stealing what he wanted, hurting some commander. Burried in dust without explanation.

Kid having all types of Haki, incl. CoC, even mentioned by Kaido. Burried in dust, without any further mentioning.

Kids whole story about his crew and their relationship with each other, their adventures. Hinted, but buried in dust, without any further mentioning.

His plotline about “the man with the burned mark”, buried in dust, without any further mentioning.

His plotlines about asking questions in fights and learn out of it, buried in dust.



And this all is just the peak of the iceberg about Kids character which is one shoted buried in dust. For a government dog to get fake hype.



And what hurts me most with someone sympathizing with Kid and Killer, is the result for his crew and the Victoria Punk without any form of respect. This ship was some sentimental connection to the first love of Kid and Killer, her memorial somehow, the memory on the first love as ship. And it gets destroyed and drowned for nothing and with not the slightest form of respect. It not even gets thematized or mentioned. Oda clearly spits on everything around Kid. It’s a disgrace.





But at least Oda sends a clear message to his readers:

“It doesn’t matter how hard you work for you dreams, how strongminded you are, how much you give up for it. You wont reach your goal, as long as you are not from a legendary lineage and get trained by the best in the world. So, if you are born poor, stay like that, be a slave, don’t have dreams or hope. You are nothing, and you will stay nothing. Except you are rich and your lineage is legendary.”
Because life isn't a game.
Kidd was roaming around disrespecting everyone he saw. He has no regard for his life. Sure he might be strong, and sure he might have a big dream, but he got shat on thrice by the Yonko and comes crawling back to one expecting the outcome to be different.
He's too arrogant and bold to stop, and it just so happens that this time he met someone who didn't play around.
