I think I need to do some explanation here in addition to my original post/thread.
People telling me about rationality, that Kaido was rational etc. Guys, I'm all for rationality, I like rational characters, for that specific reason I like Law more than I like strowhats, Kid or anyone from current generation. Big Mom has shown rationality by wanting to gain more military power to take down other Yonkos
But at the same time she's fearless if it's necessary, she came to Wano with only half of her crew, with only Smoothie from her commanders and with only one ship with an absolute confidence that she can take down Kaido if things go bad, Kaido threatened her saying that he will kill her if she came but Big Mom couldn't care less, even king was surprised to see how bold Big Mom is saying "what were you thinking coming here with only one ship".
I think that Admirals are overall weaker than Yonkos and that you need at least two Admirals to take down one Yonko but I don't think Whitbeard would be able to defeat all 5 Admirals combined with Shichibukais all by himself even if he was in his prime. Whitebeard was one of the most rational characters in one piece, he was avoiding fighting even against weak Marians just because it was unnecessary, but when it was needed he was fearless. Dispite the fact that he was half dead, that he lost his three most powerful crew members Ace, Tuch, Blackbeard and the fact that the enemy had advantage in numbers by 95 to 1 he still did what was needed to done.
And again, just for comparison...
Whitebeard didn't even flinch while losing half of his head while Kaido was shiting his pants just realizing that he would have been dead if it wasn't for old hag.
The only time I saw Whitbeard being worried is when he had a heart attack in the worst posebol moment...
...and that was the only time I saw Whitbeard being worried first Time, and overall Whitbeard was absolutely fearless in his path to Valhalla.
I don't need to talk about how rational Shanks Is since we all saw that in east blue, but when it was necessary he came to Marinford with only one ship and with only his crew challenging all Admirals, Blackbeard and Shichibukais at the same time
When Shiki came to Roger he brought his huge fleet but when he wanted to prove Marians how weak they are compared to pairets he came alone to Marinford...
...dispite knowing that he has zero chance against both Garp and Sengoku.
And even Blackbeard who has multiple personalities and some times he can be a caword he wasn't afraid to challenge all Admirals with only his crew
What I'm trying to say is that I have nathing against people who use dirty tricks in order to win the war, in a war every means are justified. But the sheer fact that Kaido didn't give Oden the second chance in fair 1v1 when he already had been taken over the country just shows that he excepted the way he defeated him. I wouldn't be mad if Kaido wasn't shown to respect the strength, someone who tries to find strong people to challenge them in a fight in order to find out who is the strongest. We will never find out if Kaido was strong enough to defeat Oden in 1v1, Kaido also let Orochi increase the temperature of oil breaking his promise to Oden, he also broke his promise to Oden that he will not kill those who survived the boiling. There are so many instances where Kaido is afraid of Oden and if he was truly respecting strength and Oden he would give him a chance for a fair fight to find who is the strongest, and I'm not blaming Kaido for that cuz Kaido is just a character, I'm blaming Oda for breaking his character, for running his character, for using him as a hype tool.
