Powers & Abilities Kid losing to Shanks is an integral part of his growth as a conqueror

Giants aren’t weak. They’re literally called the strongest country in the world.

I mean compared to Kidd at this point, they got humiliated by Mr. 3 lol
I doubt they’re even high-vet level (Vergo, Perospero) in a real fight
There will be stronger giants like Loki

Because one drank explosives and destroyed their interior organs and the other had their Will broken because their best friend for decades was forced to suffer a death that went against their religion because of the intervention.

Not exactly anything you can scale them from

i thought that before but then this sbs was released

Honestly, I don’t think that really means much. Oda didn’t say “Kid is dead” or “he’s never coming back”. He just made a comment on the brutal nature of the pirate world. But that doesn’t really mean anything when Oda has already established Kid as a strong pirate.

It just doesn’t seem like Oda to build up a character for 500 chapters and then pump and dump him in the worst way possible just to wank shanks.

Like Kid was portrayed to be one of Luffy’s greatest allies.

Oda literally said kidd isn't strong enough to survive anymore lol
''only the strong survive'' guess which one didn't

 

[NAMELESS]

red haired boy definitely coming back

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Oda literally said kidd isn't strong enough to survive anymore lol

He didn't say that tho.

He just made a statement about the nature of piracy. Doesn't actually have any bearing on the plot.

actually he did he said only the strong survive when talking about kid's defeat, who do you think he was talking about? Gaimon?

Again He was talking about Kid vs Beckman

 

[Peroroncino]

Oda basically called kid weak for his fight against beckman which was a smaller defeat than the one shanks gave him, that speaks lots

Oda hasn’t even killed past villains
Drawing the line with Kid makes no sense

he killed vergo and monet

 

[Monkey D Theories]

he killed vergo and monet

They were around for one arc

Kid was around since sabaody

Genuinely fail to see how Kid losing is any different from what happened to Shiki.

and he's an afterthought character by oda's own admission, if anything oda put more thought into vergo who was a big villain at one point

Genuinely, what does kid add being alive? Where does his character intertwine with Luffys remaining plot??

He’s Luffy’s ally

just like in sabaody, just like in wano

 

[Sir Yasheen]

He’s Luffy’s ally

just like in sabaody, just like in wano

And what will that accomplish? What do you think his role is? Cause currently other than watching someone else accomplish his dream he’s completely pointless in the remaining plot.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

he’s completely pointless in the remaining plot.

no, he’s an ally to Luffy

 

[Sir Yasheen]

no, he’s an ally to Luffy

And what does that mean? What will he do as an ally. It’s a simple question

 

[Monkey D Theories]

He fights people who oppose Luffy

Shanks is going after one piece. Kid will at least take out one or two of his commanders. Basically helping Luffy in hurting his competition.

Also will probably fight someone, between the gorosei, holy knights, and seraphim, in the final war.

So basically you think kids ultimate role in this story is to fight subordinate of Luffys opponents.

Yeah he’s better off dead
