Zoro vs King
After Zoro infused his swords with Conquerors Haki, King never landed an attack on him again and he was defeated with only 3 attacks. Prior to this King didn’t suffer any damage.
Complete domination.
Ben Beckman’s presence/existence is on par with Shanks and makes fierce fighters in the New World tremble
Even the Navy Admiral (Kizaru) is aware of the danger of Ben Beckman. This is in reference to Beckman momentarily stopping Kizaru in Marineford (579)
Yonko level Beckman 👀
Only 4 prominent characters ever lost one of their arms
Kid -> By a Red Haired pirate
Law -> Doflamingo
Kiku -> Kaido
Shanks -> Lord of the Coast
The 5 Supernova that fought Kaido and Big Mom are known as the strongest rookies (1015).
Urouge defeating Snack doesn’t hold a candle to Killer’s feats and the strength portrayal he had against Kaido. The rest of the Supernova can’t compete with Killer.
Akainu vs Blackbeard pirates
It’s stated that Van Auger prevents the crew from being in danger/crisis when he senses a formidable enemy. This is in reference to when Akainu went to capture them post Marineford war and the BB pirates ran away.
Is Akainu the strongest alive?
Kaido has finally been defeated after consecutively fighting 8 Scabbards + Izo, the 5 strongest Supernova, Yamato and 3 rounds against Luffy in a single night.
He didn’t start taking serious damage until he was scarred by Zoro’s Ashura.
Is Kaido really the strongest alive?
To elaborate on “serious damage” the Scabbards’ strongest joint Paradise Totsuka attack was deemed “too shallow” (993) and Luffy called his G4 attacks before Conquerors coating “too shallow”. The other Supernova attacks on the roof are at best comparable to Gear 4’s attack power.
@xiaoxias All I meant by serious damage was that the attack wasn’t shallow. The same goes for Luffy’s conquerors attacks in 1010. If you think Ashura was a shallow attack you are wrong and it’s not a debate. I’m not saying Ashura is as strong as Gear 5.
@xiaoxias What you quoted is Kaido acknowledging Zoro’s efforts. You also missed Kaido saying that the wound will remain. Leaving a scar isn’t shallow damage. Kaido called the Scabbards’ attack too shallow for not being able to reopen the old scar but Zoro created a new scar entirely.
Zoro’s Ashura left a scar so it wasn’t “too shallow” like the rest. The same goes for all the Conquerors coated attacks Kaido is hit by from that point forward as we see base Luffy surpass his previous Gear 4’s AP after awakening Conquerors coating (1010).

Monkey D Luffy against Kaido:
In the last 4 fights against Kaido, Luffy has a 0-4 record.
Luffy holds the record of being knocked out the most times against the same opponent.
Will Luffy lose this current round or will he finally beat Kaido?
Vs Queen is Sanji’s first 1 vs 1 victory against a main arc enemy since Vs Absalom (chapters 463-464) in Thriller Bark.
That is a total of 552 chapters from ch1015 or 560 chapters if you consider ch1023 the beginning of Sanji vs Queen.
Was Sanji vs Queen worth the wait?
