My thing is, is to me personally, I find it pretty far fetched to believe that Marigold or Sandersonia using barrier haki would produce enough energy output to damage Kaido, when something as powerful as a Kong Organ failed to do so. I mean, if that's the case, then wouldn't this new found haki ability pretty much render the AP of Boundman obsolete?
Not to mention, is an ability that was used on Alpacaman, really enough to cause sufficient enough blunt force damage to injure Kaido? The best possible explanation for it to be the case is that even if you have barrier haki, there is still different levels of strength depending on the user. Like since Haki is dependant on the users willpower, then Luffy's barrier haki >>>>>> Hyogoro and the Boa sisters, and even with barrier haki they still wouldn't be able to injure Kaido, because their haki isn't strong enough based on insufficient willpower. If that's the case I'm willing to roll with it. Otherwise Boa sister and Hyogoro's barrier haki > the Ap of Boundman is a huge wtf...
well thats the point
they have the haki to hurt him but their ap sucks
luffy has the ap but not the haki prior to udon.
luffy now has the ap but also the haki to hurt kaido . anyone who thinks just cause kinemon can hurt kaido and luffy cant isnt doing this right.
I guess now you can imagine how much damage things like kong gun are going to be doing in comparison to kinemon's cuts . for this arc to be interesting, kaido's endurance literally has to shit on his durability because those hits will pack a ton.
you could say oden had much greater ap which is why his cut was obviously of greater magnitiude than what the scabbards can do.

kinemon would do worse than preudon luffy in any other matchup bar kaido
for the reason being
he had the haki to damage kaido not because he's stronger or has greater ap than luffy.
same way a lot of scrubs in new world with haki would do better than mf luffy against say smoker
because they could hurt him while luffy had the ap to but no haki to actually do anything to smoker.
understanding matchups is key here.
