Powers & Abilities Kid losing to Shanks is an integral part of his growth as a conqueror

[Monkey D Theories]

So basically you think kids ultimate role in this story is to fight subordinate of Luffys opponents.

Yeah he’s better off dead

You can go ahead and think that

but that was always his purpose. See: Sabaody and Wano.

You mean wano and Sabaody when he fought opponents that were Allie’s with luffys opponent?

Kid lowering himself to being luffys subordinate is the literal worse thing oda could do to him. Why do you even want that?

But that’s literally the arc Oda gave him in wano.

He wanted to defeat Kaido. But he realized he wasn’t ready to so he put his pride aside and went after Big Mom instead.

By the end of wano, Kid was basically cheering on Luffy, relying on him to be the one who defeats Kaido

No kid didn’t lower himself under Luffy, he decided to fight the other yonko. It’s not like he went down and fought Jack.

Kids better dead than a cheerleader.

No kid didn’t lower himself under Luffy.

I mean he did. Kaido was said to be the strongest and he was the one Kid actually had a grudge with.

Leaving him to Luffy was acceptance of Luffy’s superiority. Not to mention him working together with Law to face BM while Luffy 1v1ed Kaido.

Later on when the two were arguing post wano, Kid said that the yonko he didn’t accept was Buggy, basically implying he accepted Luffy as yonko.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

Giants aren’t weak. They’re literally called the strongest country in the world.

They just bodied Kidd's crew. So if they are weak, what should Kidd's crew be called?

Kid losing to Shanks is an integral part of his growing irrelevancy.

Meanwhile Caribou stays winning

Integral part of his growing as fish food. It will already be quite obnoxious to swallow Kidd come back in Elbaf and, I hope for him, a change of character to stay relevant at least for that arc, but Oda will not suddenly start to invest like crazy in Kidd stocks and elevate him again as one of the racers for the OP. Law has some hopes of that (and Law is maybe even more annoying than Kidd since he is around since freaking Punk hazard arc).

Kid is out of the race. But like Law, both are portrayed as valuable allies to Luffy.

Kid will probably clash with Shanks again and defeat Beckman. Since Shanks is in the race, taking out his rhm will just help Luffy.

Luffy never needed outside allies to take out an enemy rhm.
He has his own rhm to do that

Yeah but Luffy will be fighting Teach and the BBP.
Beckman already has significant set up as a Kid fight.

Zoro will probably face Shiryu instead since he’s a swordsman

I don't see any real rivalry between Kidd and Beckman to be honest, imo Kidd taking out Beckman would already be above his best case scenario regarding an hypothetical payback to Shanks. At this point Kidd should just learn his lesson, it is the 2nd time Shanks or his crew wreck him, and leave Shanks alone and try something smaller that he can handle.

No. Beckman took his arm. Kid should at least get revenge against him.

And Ben isn’t that strong. Kid can definitely beat him by Elbaf’s end.

Nobody cares about Kidd's arm, not even Kidd and indeed he didn't show (so Oda didn't show/hint) any rivalry or sentiment of revenge towards Ben. The whole stuff about his arm was mainly to give him a mechanical arm (to fit better Kidd mecha/punk theme) and partially to show he shouldn't have messed with Shanks (that got underlined again when Shanks one shotted him). Also the Red hair pirates have for sure already left Elbaf, Luffy is not gonna meet Shanks there.
