Kaido with his physicals needed future sight to counter Snakeman, aka Katakuri level of combat speed
Yet somehow people assume Zoro can counter that? Lmao
Why the assumption that current Snakeman and WCI Snakeman have comparable combat speed?
When did Luffy's physical stats stop growing? Post timeskip?
Does Dresrossa G2 Luffy and post 1026 G2 Luffy have same physical stats then?
Pre GK Doflamingo treated G2 Luffy's combat speed as a joke, dodged every single attack from G2 Luffy's gataling (G2's fastest attack).
While drunken Kaido was getting tagged several times by post 1026 G2 Luffy (in before you bring up future sight, that doesn't make you attack faster, it just improves precision).
Is fresh Doflamingo just a God in combat speed, or did Luffy's combat speed just significantly improve?
Obvious answer is that Strawhats keep growing from island to island as stated earlier in the series, every tough fight and training improves their power level - in both haki and physical stats.
This is why hakiless trash like SH mid trio ended up beating Tobiroppo, while Tobiroppo are comparable to Vergo who would destroy out of timeskip mid trio.
