The most notable ''fact'' about Kaidou is that ''Nobody was/is able to kill him''. I don't buy that.
Kaidou was captured multiple times by other Yonkou and Marines, 2 ''factions'' which have the most powerfull people in their lines. And appereantly no one was able to kill Kaidou.
On the other side, we got Luffy who learned the Advanced Haki (destroying from the inside) in 1 week and is sure that it will have effect on Kaidou and he will be able to actually damage him. If you can damage someone, you can kill him, if enough damage is done.
So does that mean no Yonkou or Admiral has this Advanced Haki? The strongest people in the OP world don't have that? While Rayleigh had (not downplaying him or anything)? How believable is that?
We also have the only person who have ever scarred Kaidou, Oden. Oden is not weak by any means, but we have seen he was not on WB's and Roger's level.
Oden used Haki on both swords in his clash with WB, while the second didn't use any Haki nor his DF. No one won the clash.
Oden was also overpowered by Roger's attack and got damaged, while actually blocking the attack.
Shortly after, he was also shocked/surprised at Roger's and WB's clash and how their weapons wasn't even touching.
This was the first time we have ever seen this level of Armament Haki. Kaidou surely has tried to fight WB in the past and most likely lost to him. But WB didn't scarr Kaidou - which based on his Haki level is really surprising.
Also the Rocks Pirates were crushed by Roger and Garp, yet the only scarr Kaidou has is from Oden.
Based on the pictures above, it seems Oden doesn't have Advanced Haki and especialy on this level himself. He also never showed any Advanced Haki - that doesn't mean he didn't had it when he scarred Kaidou, because when he joined Roger and fought Kaidou 6 years later, he could have learned it in that time, but it's just speculation. Unless i overlooked something, you are welcome to correct me.
There is also the thing with Enma which sucks out alot of Haki and make the user ''over use'' their own Haki, resulting in creating stronger attacks. But it can use so much, that it literally dries out the user, if not able to controll it. This surely played a role in Oden scarring Kaidou, by giving Oden the ability to use more Haki than he by himself ever could - just speculation, but that's where Enma points too IMO. Which kinda makes Enma deus ex maschina, but whatever.
So you have stronger guys with stronger Haki than Oden, not able to scarr Kaidou...
We have seen ''fake hype'' by Oda before. The best example is Garp saying the Marines could not handle 2 Legends at the same time, talking about WB and Rayleigh - which is compete nonsense and was disproved by the MF Arc.
So do you think Oda just didn't care about this ''plothole'' and just wanted to create this extreme ''hype'' for Kaidou? Or do you think it all makes sense?
