People slandering Kid about "not having haki" is actually a testament to kids raw power. Lets get one thing clear. Kid is WAAAY stronger than Luffy in terms of pure physical stats (not including haki). Kid was able to block and overpower big moms elemental fused sword swing with just pure physical power, did not even need to use armanent. Kid was also able to damage and crush kaido with raw strength whereas luffy was only able to hurt kaido after learning ryou. Unlike the chosen child Goofy, Kid didnt have the right hand of pirate king to spoon feed him haki, so Kid has had to adapt by just improving his own physicals and devil fruit mastery. Kid without haki defeated a yonko, luffy without haki cant even beat a pacifista, the difference in raw strength is astronomical and i can only imagine how strong kid would have end up being if he had rayleighs training or hyogoros. Would have breezed to pirate king already. And this is exactly why oda has had to restrict giving haki to him too early.
If Oda let kid learn ryou or acoc in wano, then that would have him the strongest in the arc and capable of taking down a yonko by himself. That wouldn't have worked for the plot, since oda needed to give law some glory as well. So Oda has hawkins nerf kid by giving him a migrain and also restricted kid from using basic haki in order to make him "need" law to beat big mom. Also if oda gave kid acoc that means he would have beaten shanks at elbaf, and oda needs shanks a bit longer for some plotlines. He also needed a way for kid to meet with the man in burn marks, so best thing was to have kid lose here and be saved by man in burn marks. From here is where oda will really start to develop kids story and set him up as a prominent figure for the endgame of one piece, as well further setting him up as the rival luffy will need to defeat at the very end. In elbaf he will learn ryou from the giants which will translate to him getting acoc as well
Oh and to any idiot that thinks/jokes that kid is literally dead/out of the story....im not going to respond to you. Seems like whenever i make a thread of something completely irrelevent to kid, some wankers always feels the need to be like "JuSt LiKe KiD wOuLD BeAt ShAnKs RiGHt?" and then bump up my old thread. So i thought I might has well talk about Kid since you wanna bring him up everytime. And no, that "L" i took doesnt bother me at all because in the grand scheme of things its going to mean nothing once Kid makes his comeback and gets his revenge
