When it was first revealed that Oden was the person to scar Kaido, a lot of mental gymnastics began to occur with some people who were previously theorizing on who scarred Kaido now claiming that everyone they perceive to be stronger than Oden is able to replicate the same feat. I'm against doing such things because if it was so easily replicable, why has other characters not done so?
Oden's cutting ability and what the Scabbards are doing right now through channeling Oden's will and strengthening their resolve is something that should not be given to other characters no matter who they are due to the manner in which all of this is contextualized. When the fight originally started, Kaido notes that how is it possible that Scabbards are channeling Oden's Haki and in this chapter again reiterates the same thing. He doesn't just call it Haki/Ryou.
Lots of other characters have Haki and Ryou. He specifically notes Oden's and no one elses. Not Roger, Newgate,Linlin,Shanks,Admirals,Mihawk etc. Most of these characters have Haki and are very proficient in using it but he does not mention them. He only thinks about Oden. I don't believe that much more is required to make it abundantly clear that this feat is special to Oden and the Scbbards alone. For the past 20 years, Kaido has challenged the other emperors and the navy countless times but his underlings reinforce how shocking it is that people like the Scabbards can even hurt Kaido.
If this feat was so easily replicable, Kaido's shock and the shock of his henchmen wouldn't be so punctuated. He has afterall, fought other strong individuals with Haki yet only notes Oden as the standard for Ryou/Haki required to hurt him. He is in a country full of Haki users who train all their lives with the sword yet, had no worries that any of them could hurt him. He goes out challenging others fearlessly.
This is not to say that other Top tiers can hurt Kaido but, to use the this particular feat just because people you consider weaker than Oden/The Scabbards as a means of gifting this ability to others is clearly misguided. I don't know what else Oda/Kaido/The Characters in the story have to say to make it more clear that this is a special feat and one that is not so easily replicabale.
So, when you see others or when you say "Imagine what X can do to Kaido if the Scabbards are doing this" You're gifting feats which the author continues to reinforce is a special feat for his Oden Wank!
