Power Progression

Background / History

Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates as a young officer. On Hachinosu, he took Hua Yue’s pocket watch, prompting a confrontation that ended when Hua Yue knocked him unconscious. Years later, Linlin encouraged Kaido to eat the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, at God Valley 271 284.

As leader of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido established himself in Wano Country alongside Kurozumi Orochi. He broke his agreement with Kozuki Oden, fought Oden and his retainers, and participated in Oden’s execution. His weapons factories later polluted Kuri and left villages such as Amigasa struggling for food 314 315 316 444.

Kaido defeated Gecko Moria’s crew, but remained dissatisfied with his strength because he wanted to overcome Hanazuki. During their later clash on Onigashima, Hanazuki trapped him in an illusion and used him to test an army of Hollows. Kaido was defeated, then resumed his plans to build an army of ability users after recovering 305 322 323 326.

Sixteen years later, Yamato and Hiyori returned to Wano to oppose him. Their combined attacks drove Kaido from the country, with King carrying him to safety. Kaido subsequently allied with Linlin against Hanazuki and continued pursuing artificial Devil Fruit production 450 451 453 462 476.

Personality
