Perona's Negativity Ghosts...
In theory, as long as they hit, they could put Kaido into a negative state and make him lose his combat power.
But Perona's constitution was too weak.
So weak that in a battle of that level, her margin for error was pitifully small. She might not even be able to withstand a single shockwave from the fight.
