Moria's Speculation

"Speculation?" Li Ziming was startled. "You couldn't identify Kaido's ability either?"

"Identify it?" Moria gave a bitter smile. "Do you still remember Kaido's legends?"

"The Four Emperors? The Beasts? The strongest creature on land, sea, and sky? The number one in single combat? An undying monster?" Li Ziming listed nearly every title he knew Kaido by.

"That's right. But you should know that he already had all those titles back when Whitebeard was still around..." Moria's words immediately changed Li Ziming's expression.

Whitebeard had already been hailed as the strongest. When Whitebeard was known as the strongest, Kaido was already recognized as number one in single combat. Did that mean Kaido's strength in a one-on-one fight was far greater than Whitebeard's? Whitebeard's strength during the Marineford War had been nothing short of disastrous, yet Kaido was even stronger than Whitebeard in single combat? Li Ziming could no longer imagine such strength.

"Stronger... than Whitebeard?" Li Ziming swallowed. If that's true, then it would be incredibly difficult for Luffy to defeat Kaido alone.

"Who knows? Still, it is an indisputable fact that Kaido was captured before..." Moria seemed rather pleased by Li Ziming's shocked expression, though he still didn't want the news to completely crush Li Ziming's fighting spirit.

"Indeed, he's invincible in single combat. That only proves his strength is terrifying, but as long as he still falls within the category of living creatures, he can die. Even the One Piece couldn't escape death back then, let alone one of the Four Emperors..." Li Ziming was already wondering whether he should prepare some poison and feed it directly to Kaido.

"Don't even think about using poison or anything like that, kid. Kaido loves drinking. Do you think no one has tried poisoning him through alcohol over all these years? In
