Luffy's Biggest Fight Ever Proves One Piece is Still Fresh 25 Years In
Warning: Contains spoilers for One Piece chapter #1045
The incredible fight between Luffy and Kaido has monopolized the attention of fans of One Piece for months. With the battle for Wano Island raging around them, the two opponents have spared nothing, as the outcome of their confrontation will determine the war's outcome. When Luffy was apparently beaten for the third time, he awakened the powers of his Devil Fruit and from that moment everything changed. Surprisingly, Luffy did not dominate Kaido after his power-up, which just proves how strong the captain of the Beasts Pirates his, and how One Piece is great at avoiding the cliches of the shonen genre.
As one of the Four Emperors, Kaido is one of the four strongest pirates in the world of One Piece. In his first appearance, he is introduced to readers in a memorable scene as he jumps from the island of Skypeia, thousands of meters up in the sky, and lands without a scratch. His nickname is the world's «strongest creature», and he lives up to it thanks to his strength, resilience, his mastery of the ultra-rare Haoshoku Haki, and the powers of his Devil Fruit, the Mythical Zoan Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, which allows Kaido to transform into a colossal dragon. Overall, Kaidou has been said to have only lost seven battles in his lifetime and has only been injured twice. When Luffy challenged him for the first time, he was defeated with a single blow, setting up the stage for how difficult and important the battle against the Beasts Pirate would be.
