Powers & Abilities Kid really was eliminated?

[Peroroncino]

That’s how you know he surely isn’t dead. Because Oda doesn’t write deaths that way.

I cannot think of a single instance where a character is arbitrarily brutally murdered and humiliated for the sake of hyping up a stronger character.

The closest I can think of to this is Saturn’s death. But that actually serves to progress the plot.

Kid dying would be meaningless. Why should Kid die, after being built up as a major pirate of the worst gen and being credited for defeating a yonko, when characters like Moria who are far weaker come back after being destroyed numerous times?

Are y’all reading two piece? Kid is one of Luffy’s strongest allies.

Like oda himself said about kidd only the strong survive in the new world...
Kidd just wasn't cut out for it

But Moria is?
Numerous ex-villains are?

Character deaths are usually meaningful.

If Oda legitimately wanted to kill Kid, wouldn’t it make far more sense for him to survive Shanks(a B plot of egghead) and rather die in the climax of a major battle?

Pumping and dumping your own characters isn’t good writing and it especially isn’t Oda’s style

Yep moria is

Some fat guy Big Mom raped and threw out didn´t die and returned.
And you think the man who railed her and took her down won´t come back?

 

[Buusatan94]

He never was in the race, none of the Supernovas were. Them being rivals to Luffy or competitors for the One Piece was just a big marketing lie.

 

[Kiiro]

Out of the race.... yes. Dead... nope.

The way it happened, Oda insisting on humiliating him and even making his crew hand over everything to Shanks. Then his ship being destroyed by the giants. It makes you think that Oda no longer wants to draw this character in the work. Another point: One Piece is in its final stage, Oda no longer has time to cook up characters. Kid is useless for anything other than Power scaling, we know that Oda hates that.

No. If he is done now, there will be no one to fight the Gorosei in the Final War.
