actually i meant to show how Oda often writes total bs to insta hype up a character, i think its fair to say not many ppl would buy Elizabello being able to 1shot a yonko, but the thing is if you accept other hype tools, you need to accept this one too. And I bet you don't actually love it when ppl do that
I know what you are trying to say here but you cannot compare Elizabello's hype to Kaido's hype. Oda went into great detail to hype up Kaido. (I'm not going to attach manga scans but I will if you require any clarification)
1- Law claimed Doflamingo would rather face an Admiral than deal with an angry Kaido
(Doffy was present in the MF war, Doffy saw the stuff all the Admirals can do, Doffy almost got turned into a human ice sculpture back in PH arc, Doffy almost had a heart attack when Fuitora brought down those meteors back when they were fighting Law)
You get what I'm saying right? After all this, he still would choose to face an Admiral than Kaido.
2- No character in One Piece got a chapter detailing their invincibility except for Kaido. Oda went into detail to hype up Kaido. Not even Big Mom was hyped up the way Kaido was and she's a freaking monster herself (Even Big Mom herself hyped up Kaido by saying "Kaido? He cant be taken down by you guys")
*Kaido is the strongest creature (creature means ANY living organism)
*If its one on one,
always bet on Kaido
*He supposedly cannot be killed (When you attempt to kill him,something happens that prevents it)
We know Kaido has 7 defeats but that could mean anything. Defeats don't necessary mean loosing a one on one fight. (Big Mom suffered a huge defeat during the WCI arc but she herself didn't loose to anyone in a fight)
So you can argue Akainu>Shanks or Aokiji>Big Mom but you need to stop bringing Kaido into these debates because Oda has put him on a separate pedestal.
