Hybrid Kaido's TB easily had broke thru Yamato's defence and her attack and had her bleeding heavily.
Luffy was going toe to toe against even stronger attacks in base. And I know Kaido was still suppressed but we had an understanding of how strong those attacks were thru Yamato.
There's no need to downplay Base Luffy here. Just give gaban the credit he deserves
We can't understand how strong those attack are thru Yamato cause Yamato is not the same as luffy .
Luffy DF make him a a fucking monster tank even with someone using haki on him.
When luffy turn gear 5 he was tanking Kaido slice attacks with his bear body no haki that that cut off one of the scabbards arms and thru rocks and mountains .
Yes luffy took some attack in base but he also took some attacks in gear 2 and 3 and 4 and was fighting in them .
We have to wait and see the pics but gaban was control the fight and then luffy get annoying and say fuck he about to go G5 and Zoro also said fuck it and join in and Gaban say nah i done .
But we got see if luffy hold any real damage and we all know that base luffy is the slowest version of him so why the fuck he even fighting in that if someone has certain level of speed vs him .
