Maybe all the fish fruits are useless except for Kaido's.

No excuse really. He's pointlessly adding more complex elements to it again. It's his biggest downfall. Anything that crosses his mind he will put it into his story.

I don't know if the type of devil fruit is adding any complexity but more flavor? Also saw some comments that it might be a reference to a JP folklore/myth thing. So that criticism seems weird? Unless the mechanics of the fruit change the previously established mechanics its not adding in "complex elements, its just a new devil fruit.

That's exactly what it does, though. It's been established that devil fruits are weak to water and seastone since it carries the essence of the sea. Even fishmen that ate devil fruits experienced this weakness and have to wear air bubbles. This has been the rule for the past 1000 chapters. If a fish fruit does any more than allowing a person to breathe under water, then it completely breaks the rules of the OP world and calls into question why fish fruits have not been mentioned a single time up until this point. If it's limited to just breathing underwater then I don't have too much of a problem with it. An even better scenario would be that Kaido's fruit is the only fish fruit in existence - making it the only outlier of traditional DF rules.

Tbh its most likely imo that a Fish Fish fruit would generally be shit, Id imagine itd prevent you from swimming, and have all of the normal downsides of Devil Fruits, but like, you couldn't generally transform on land cause breath water. Obviously thats not necessarily the case since Kaido clearly exists, but maybe Kaido is an exception and whatever baser models of Fish Fish fruit just kind of... make you useless in water and in fish-form make you useless on land? That'd be funny tbh, I think that'd be closer to how Oda would go than full on Fish Fish fruits are cheaty cheaty rules lawyer fruits that negate the downsides of devil fruits.

Seriously, when is the new chapter out? I need a chapter before 2021.

To me the tone Big Mom was talking about giving him the fruit was so grand that I'm thinking at least breathing underwater could be a feature. I mean, to me it would make sense because it would explain why Kaido didn't just drown himself in the midst of his suicide attempts.

Chapter 1000 is out. Check reddit for a link.
+ Show Spoiler +It seemed way too short and not really all that impressive. Then again, I think with all the hype surrounding the big number it would be impossible to live up to those expectations, unless Oda finally reveals something massive like Raftel, Vegapunk, or the Will of D

1000th looks good to me
Luffy reaffirming his decision to become priate king in front of 2 emperors
|
Now that is a Chapter 1000.
+ Show Spoiler +I cried a lil when he was talking to Kinemon and then my heart burst from also bursting into tears when he KNOCKED KAIDO IN THE FUCKING FACE WITH GEAR THIRD RED ROCK SOOOOOOOOOOOON, SHITS GETTING REAAAAAAAL

Chapter was much better than the spoilers implied
|
+ Show Spoiler +Is anyone else a little surprised at how strong Marco is? He was doing work against King AND Queen, that seems kind of insane

Yeah the whitebeard crew was waaaaaaay to weak at marineford. The commanders should have wiped the floor with anyone below admiral shichibukai included but they were nerfed for the sake of exposition
But one piece has also shifted power scaling around multiple times for the story so it won’t be the last time a change like this happens
|
It might be an issue of power concentration? Marco was fighting admirals admirably (buh dum tss) they were down one high tier commander in Ace, there were other instances of commanders holding their own with absurd opponents like Mihawk, while power scaling back then surely was screwy, I think the Whitebeard Pirates did a pretty fair job given anyone below like, top 6 in a Yonkou crew starts dramatically scaling down in power.
I’ll also never forget the ass whooping Whitebeard laid down on my boy Akainu.
Maybe my reverence overtakes me, but Marineford didn’t feel too poor of a showing if we look at how the upper echelon of each side were doing imo
|
also i just realised the brief kaido vs luffy sequence played out exactly like luffy vs pacifista after the timeskip. im gonna go out on a limb and say it was intentional and oda is foreshadowing kaidos stomping
