Title. I'll just be explaining the gap in pages between them hitting him and him getting up for the most part, nothing too elaborate or lengthy.
See here, he gets up literally one page after Oden slices him.
In the time it took for him to get up, all that happened is Oden ran at him then turned around, which at most took 10 seconds.
So at the very most he could have been KOed, but only for some seconds.
Something similar happens against the Scabbards:
Now this one's a little weirder, because it's a whole chapter after they hit him.
However, this makes much more sense when you remember that all of the chapter up until this page was focused on what was happening downstairs and didn't show anything related to the battle between the Scabbards and Kaidou.
Considering that Kaidou started speaking in the second to last panel of this page, and this is the first page we see of the fight after they hit him, this means that he was also out for only one page (or again, at most 10 seconds) from their attack.
Do I know if he was really KOed, or stunned, or just fell over? No, but my point is that if he, hypothetically, really were KOed, then it'd only be for a few seconds.
Another thing I want to discuss is the argument that "Kaidou screamed/fell so he was hurt/damaged by X character"
For example, this page:
The thing I never got about this is that there was clearly 0 drops of blood or bruises after these attacks.
Almost every single time we saw Kaidou scream from basically any attack that wasn't from Luffy, it didn't even make him bleed or keep him down for more than two panels.
As for Kaidou falling after the attacks, this doesn't really mean much. We even see Jack do the same after getting his tusk sliced off by a Sulong Mink, but he still talks and everything in the exact same page.
And this is the entire point of my thread. Kaidou screaming, falling, groaning, etc. from certain attacks doesn't exactly indicate that they KOed him or even damaged him.
So when ever people bring that up as a counterpoint to Kaidou having great durability/endurance, just remember what I'm saying.
