can't convince me that it will make sense for Luffy to be able to beat Kaido when Oden was this strong that many years before facing him and losing

I'm convinced Oden lost to Kaidou after some underhanded trickery from Orochi. In other words, it wasn't a fair fight.

Oden and Kaido are roughly the same age. Both would have been in their thirties 20 yrs ago.

Why not? Luffy beat Katakuri last arc who's second to only Big Mom.

Try this on for size: Luffy beat Crocodile before he got his gears or Haki. Mihawk is the "greatest swordsman" and dueled with Shanks - which logically puts him on a similar level to Shanks. Then during the Whitebeard war, Crocodile was able to stop Mihawk in his tracks.

Oden is probably strong, but killing a giant pig isn't really a feat of strength that is insane at this point in the game. Luffy could have pacified that pig with just Haki alone

That's what I'm thinking too. Zoro could also cut that thing in half considering how he chopped up Pica.

you can never really use marineford for power scale. Oda had hard time trying to fit every characters in one place and giving each character their shining moment. If all admirals, shichibukai tried it would've been over in 3 mins probably but obviously that's not the typical storyline he would want. Had to somehow stall so wb pirates and luffy's escapees shine but in the end we basically know who lost.

I agree. But I would go even further and say power scales in general are useless and fights in One Piece are there only to serve the story. Oda's main job is to build tension and provide resolution, which is why Luffy "loses" to villains and then comes back and beats them. Applying logic like a power scale to One Piece is ridiculous and a waste of time.

Exactly this. This is why this flashback is so good. It keeps adding weight and meaning to things we have seen in previous chapters.

The sacrifice of Kinemon's wife is another good example.

Orochi inspires a lot of hate and disgust, he's a great villain.

I would had honestly preferred it if Orochi was just another daimyo. After defeat, will Orochi end up doing the usual front page stories where he ends up using his devil fruit powers for good and beats up some pirates and then becomes a successful businessman celebrated by the local town? Or do you guys reckon Orochi would be too much of a bad guy for that?

I don't think Orochi is gonna make it... About that Devil Fruit power though, I wonder how useful it actually is. Guy has several dragon heads, how shitty is that?

I mean Hydras are know for being immune to decapitation basically with the regrowing heads thing, so it could have that sort of busted regeneration power going for it.

I definitely wouldn’t turn down any mythical Zoan though

Tried to dislike another flashback that has nothing even to do with main storyline like flashback to Orochi's take-over 20 years ago but then I read this and it's damn good storywriting, the kaiju setup was fun kinemon's resolve Oden's public perception & then the twist w/ Orochi.

I like the flashback story, I don't like the point of the story it's told at. Kinda waiting for the climax of the arc here.

Well Oda is structuring the arc after a traditional Japanese Kabuki.

I don't see Oda doing anything different from what Oda does. So how would Kabuki figure into arc structure?

It's a bit more pronounced because Oda is actually labelling the acts as one would in a Kabuki play this time (we're in act 3 now, which is the act where tragedy takes place), but that really hasn't made it too different from any regular One Piece arc.
