I expected him to block his hits, it’s not that big of a deal. Kaido ate dozens of that, For someone with light powers + top-tier level barrier haki, catching some snakeman hits is bare minimum terittory. The impression that this gives me is that Kizaru might not be able block any acoc + snakeman hits, he’ll get sent flying. Feels like Oda himself is giving leeway for that argument
Meh, Kizaru was royally shitting on Snakeman Luffy, legit low diff.
I thought Luffy was using ACoC because I assumed it was a very intense and close battle, with both being roughed up and Kizaru only gaining the upper hand with the kick. Actually what we got is a a casual looking Kizaru literally pissing on Snakeman, if Luffy used ACoC that would have ruined the powerscaling for good.
And Oda is not nerfing Luffy out of adCoC, he used it from the get-go last chapter. Luffy dropped it because it's pointless waste of energy if you cannot land a clean hit. He was using it all the time against Kaido because Kaido is a dumbfuck who eat everything instead of blocking or dodging.
