There was no outright confirmation that Kaido died. He went into the magma, but the volcano explosion creates a possible avenue for his return.
My theory:
This leads to 3 things:
My theory:
- Kaido survived, but following his loss and the destruction of his crew, Kaido gave up on conquering wano. He now just wants to live a quiet life away from society.
- Yamato encounters Kaido on her travels. He is badly injured from the magma and Luffy’s attack, he does not wish to fight her.
- Teach attacks wano, destroying the giant walls so that he can get to pluton
- Teach beats Yamato and Momo
- Kaido attacks Teach, in hopes that Teach can actually kill him
- Momo, Yamato, and Kin go in search of Luffy, now that Wano’s borders have fallen and the kingdom is defenseless
- Cover story end
This leads to 3 things:
- Yamato and co. reuniting with Luffy during elbaf
- Teach killing Kaido and acquiring the seiryu fruit
- The BBP getting Pluton
