[Discussion] Kaido... Time skip?

[Imaginesafety]

Omg this chapter was "beast" cause the ending. I've never felt so scared for Luffy. He makes gear fourth look puny. So this got me thinking.. There has to be another time skip, right? Luffy barely beat doffy and doffy shit his pants whenever thinking of Kaido. Luffy is too weak right now IMO. This guy sounds op as ****,

 

[Angelic.]

no he needs a handout! jk

 

[CrimsonReaper]

Yeah i agree, i can't imagine gear fifth beating him.

 

[Trashboat]

My thoughts exactly. Kaidou looks menacing, then there's still Black Beard and Big Mom to worry about!

BB and Big mom are not as horrifying as Kaidou, Kaidou's body can basically withstand mostly everything that's without even using haki.

 

[solorflare99]

Chopper will solo Kaido

 

[cryhwks]

Maybe they'll be a time skip in the middle of Kaido? Because Kaido definitely feels far away from Luffy unless Luffy's Awaken turns out to be something insane he can't beat Kaido yet.

Seeing Kaido makes feel like all the people's prediction saying Luffy's Awaken/ Gear 5 Will somehow be related to the Monkey King will be true because only that kind of transformation is the only way I can see Luffy beating Kaido.

But with that said the Oda Box said Kaido has been defeated 7 times so even though he can't die he can be defeated.

This has already suggested several times before and I say it again: it's nearly certain that this is not going to happen. Why? Because the time skip already has happened, it's that simple. The time skip happened like two-three weeks ago in the series and them I'm being extremely generous here with the estimations. What the hell was the point of the first time skip if another one is immediately done afterwards? The point was of that time skip to prepare Luffy as much as possible for the New World and everyone and everything in it. Having another one is rendering the first one completely mute. The argument that Kaido is too strong is by its very nature invalid as since when did that stop Luffy ever? That happened all the time pre-time skip, why the hell would it be any different post-time skip? This is why he trained with Rayleigh, the time skip you are talking about already occurred.

Oda might jump a few days, maybe weeks forwards, but common sense wise there will be no time-skip. Even more so when you consider that the first time-skip happened after around 600 chapters and since then we had around 200 new ones.

I do agree with you to a point because the time skip did happen very recently which is why I said maybe halfway through Kaido there will be some kind of a time skip?

But I think what Oda should do is just move time along in the story without a time skip. For instance instead of a 2 and half year long arc that only lasted a day in One Piece world maybe it takes them like 6 months to get through.

Because how can Oda expect us believe a 19 year kid Conquers the New World in like 3 years of being pirate?

I think would be stupid and I think diminish what Roger and his crew went through if it where that easy which I don't think Oda will do. So something has to give at some point.

 

[Bogard]

Dude fall from 10Km like it's no big deal... King Kong Gun can't even scratch him at this point. Luffy needs a serious training to even stand a chance because even unlimited G4 doesn't seem to be the solution. On a side note, i'm surprised Kaido is the strongest pirate alive wow

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

I don't think Luffy will fight Kaido in the 1st place.

 

[sage1999]

they're going to Wano Kingdom where they would possiblty train

I already had this exact discussion a while ago including the age argument. The bottom line is that age is not a valid factor. If Oda cared about it, the story would have been completely different as how credible was it in the first place that a 17 year old boy that does not know how to swim nor knows anything about ships and is incredibly naive, becomes one of the most notorious pirates alive in a time span of one year? That age had to be credible is something that was thrown overboard from the very firs chapter. If Oda cared about it, he would have made Luffy older from the start and/or have made the time skip last longer so that Luffy would be older. He didn't. I mean what age is he supposed to have then to be credible? 21? 22? 23? Hardly any difference.

As I said before Oda might skip a few weeks or something forward sometimes, but he isn't going to do that up to Luffy becoming 45 years old to make him become more credible. Age is simply not meant to be credible in OP.

Also Luffy was trained by Roger's First Mate and inspired by a Yonkou who was part of Roger's crew, so his situation is already quite different from Roger's.

 

[Punk Hazard]

I firmly believe Charlotte Linlin will become an ally to the Strawhats and fight Kaido in their stead. They will either kill each other or Big Mom will die. The loss of another Yonko, along with other chain events, as a result of Luffy and other pirates will set off the WG. They will tighten their hold on the war, fed up with what's happening. This will trigger more movement and activity from the Revs leading to the full blown war we've been expecting.

 

[Naruto Boss]

Have you guys forgotten that luffy hasn't meet his dad as yet. I'm sure when he does there will be some form of training or power up and we haven't seen the real power on the conqueror haki as yet plus the awakening that everyone is crazy about.

 

[sagemode07]

No time skip is needed
Think about how strong luffy was at the beginning of the series vs right before the time skip
Big difference !!!
Now imagine how much stronger he's getting fighting in the new world!!
The best way to get stronger is fight the strongest, and that's what he's doing
Expect him to fight kaido multiple times, getting better each time until he can defeat him/exploit a weakness
Also, it's very possible he'll develop gear 5 mid arc like gear 2/3

Well I think your wrong but we'll see?
