Powers & Abilities A TRUE DEVIL FRUIT MERCHANT - The Admirals Walked So That Kaido Could RUN

After YEARS of slander towards the chadmirals calling them devil fruit merchants, hakiless bums, etc, what have we learned about our beloved Yonko, Kaido of the Hundred Hostages Beasts from the Rocks flashback?

HE IS THE BIGGEST DEVIL FRUIT MERCHANT IN THE SERIES

After the DOG SHIT BACKSTORY we got for Kekdo at the end of Wano —

— many fans including myself decided to withhold judgment on his character until the inevitable Rocks/GV flashback. Surely there was more to this retarded drunk lizard than this? Surely Oda didn’t build this clown up for 10 years for this?

Well here we are in the God Valley flashback, and thankfully Oda gave us more about Kaido. He has complained/asked/desired a fruit in 3 out of his 4 flashback appearances.

Let me repeat that. He wanted a devil fruit. That is his flashback persona.

Mr. “Haki Is Everything” spent 10 years FIENDING for a fruit. That’s his ENTIRE FUCKING CHARACTER.

:shocked::shocked::shocked:

hilarious

this whole paragraph reads as if Oda is actually taking his time when planning out Kaido's powerlevel. You watched Oda write Kaido saying "Haki triumphs all", only to write Kaido have his strongest move be a fruit ability, a direct contradiction, yet you still have enough faith in Oda to think Kaido's wanting the fruit is a part of his development.

Yes, Oda is definitely trying to signal to us that Kaido wanted fruits then learned about haki. That makes a lot of sense given Kaido spamming his fruit until the bitter end against Luffy!
He was also using Advanced Haki in almost every attack.

No way Oda plans these kinds of things, I'm just saying that young Kaido's desire for DFs can be explained... that's all. 😅

No matter what Oda (or his characters) say, in the end both DFs and haki are important (one may surpass the other whenever Oda wants it).

The idea that Oda is writing that Kaido in youth was a fruit merchant, then matured and realized haki was the truth and became a haki man, is just absurd then. He spammed haki and his fruit until the end, even though that contradicts his previous statement about haki beating all

A noob Kaido's strongest attack was probably a Hakified club swing.

An experienced Kaido's strongest attack is engulfing his dragon form in flames; essentially DF-based.
An EXPERIENCED Kaido chose a DF move as his final attack
:suresure:
He has such an over the top DF based final attack, and still thinks Haki reigns supreme. Makes you wonder how great Haki really is. Not to take anything from DFs. They're all crazy, but Haki simply has a higher ceiling.
 
Admirals are joke and everyone knows it. Only few admiral fans hang to mid portrayal and feats of latrine.

Kaido doesn't contradict anything. He said DF alone can't conquer the world. Not that they don't matter. Comparatively he placed more importance to haki which for now is correct given most old gen have better portrayal than Kaido and admirals and most them are haki only users.
