I think Oda simply wrote himself into a corner. He needs the Worst Generation(at least Luffy, Kid, and Law) to be able to hang with the Yonkou at this point because of where the STORY is. But at the same time there's literally no way heading into this arc that Luffy, Law, Kid and Zoro, should be able to hang with Kaido and Big Mom because of how powerful Oda made the Yonkou.
Like seriously, heading into this arc, I wasn't even convinced that Luffy could beat King, Queen or even Jack, yet somehow through powerup after undeserved powerup everyone progressed to such a level that Zoro and Sanji are beating King and Queen, and Luffy's playing jump rope with Kaido. It's becoming clear that Oda is using Awakening(And Enma, and the symptoms of Sanji's body) to bring the Worst Generation to where they need to be in the story moving forward, which is fine since I like the story of One Piece. But from a power-scaling standpoint One Piece is pretty much a joke at this point. Since there are no training arcs in One Piece every time a character gets stronger it ALWAYS comes out of nowhere.
If Oda spent 500 chapters saying Character A is very powerful and Character B is nowhere near as powerful, and Oda needs Character B to beat Character A in 50 chapters for the sake of the story, he'll just give Character B powerup after powerup after powerup to make sure that happens. That's probably the worst thing about Oda's writing because he didn't have to make Character A that strong in the first place. Its also worse because instead of One Piece fans calling him out on that (like they do LITERALLY every other series) they instead act as if everything he does is good writing.

If you genuinely thought Luffy couldn't take on any of Kaido's commanders in Wano after beating 2 of BM's strongest guys the arc before then it's more a you problem than the manga itself lol

This is part of the problem.
Luffy beat Cracker BARELY and with Nami's help, and the strongest attack against Katakuri before Snakeman was dealt by Katakuri.
VERY few people thought Luffy could beat Kaido's commander's leaving Whole Cake Island because Jack whose the weakest commander has a significantly higher bounty than Cracker and Smoothie, but now you're acting as if it was some strange notion because you don't like Oda's writing being criticized. Don't rewrite history.
 
Zoro literally ded at this point.
The guy can't move, is unconcious and badly injured. I wouldn't be surprised if he only wakes up at the end of the arc.

Meanwhile Luffy gets awakening, multiple characters expressing their faith im him and Zunisha reminding us of Luffy's historical importance.

The odds of ZKK happening had never looked worse.
Lol does not look worse at all 😂😂😂 u do understand that most zkk people expect luffy to get this W right I’d be more shocked if Oda has luffy lose again …zkk doesn’t die until the end of the arc :cheers:
 

Reborn

Throughout Heaven & Earth,I alone am d Honored One
Chapter is okayish


Quickly skipped Raizo part



Don't feel like reading it amid Luffy vs kaido


And, why I feel Oda is holding back Luffy and Kaido even now.


Both looking confident and way more comfortable than they should be.

It's like they have something in store.


Kaido using new attacks is also an evidence in point.





Serious Nika vs Awakened Kaido is what I want





Zoro death plot isn't making sense.. why reaper was there if Oda really just wanted to show he is on death bed - he never did this before so why now?

Katakuri was training Luffy. Cracker lost to a 2 on 1. Coming into Wano Jack was a beast and Luffy was 1 shot by Kaido. It just seemed like the Beast pirates were on a different level. Now we know better, but when first introduced the Beast pirates seemed like Super Commanders.

Jack ran up on a Admiral former Fleet Admiral and Vice Admiral without fear. He seemed like a don.

Oda: Bepo can use Sulong.


Also Oda:
Oda really REALLY doesn’t like drawing non straw hats fight so we might never see Sulong Bepo. But at least we know he has it.

nah Law crew are shit, oda did already made made exception to other non strawhats, he should have let law's crew died when theyt get capture. i rather wan't to see bepo roth than see him sulong.
 
Many supreme gods in several mythologies/religions were originally lightning/storm gods

Zeus, Raijin, Elohim etc...
Luffy's gear 5's character color scheme matches Zeus.. hence the reference

With all the doctors I can’t see how they can’t get him back up for something
with all those injuries and double damage i don't get what those Docs are gonna muster to barely manage to help him stand on his 2 legs.. let alone keep him conscious
