So one Boro breath is enough to convince him to run? LMFAO. Imagine the island sized Boro breath Kaido did. That would send him into retirement.
Kaido and Big Mom are a bad match for the poor admiral as they both have elemental attacks that counter LARAMAKI's powers.
Big Mom:
- It has fire.
- Has Ray.
Lightning can also generate fire and burn plants, in fact lightning can fry small LARAMAKI trees faster.
Kaidou, on the other hand, has a range of elements.
It has:
- Fire.
- Lightning.
- Wind.
- Flames as hot as magma, capable of instantly melting a giant horn just by touching it.
A breath of heat from Kaido has the ability to completely burn an island, or at least its entire surface.
Using his flaming form is not necessary, but with his flaming form Kaidou is able to create a magma wake larger than Onigashima, this prevents plants from growing in the ground. But Kaidou doesn't need to resort to that, Kaido beats him at CQC.
Kaido is:
+ Faster.
+ Stronger.
+ Has better haki.
+ More durable.
+ More resistant.
+ Recovery.
