"How is that possible! That guy defeated Chameleon!"
Mendo was already covered in blood. He had never imagined Kaido would be this absurd, even using Mendo's elusive abilities to hone his Observation Haki during their fight.
He had held the advantage at first. On top of that, the few CP0 agents attacking Shane had found themselves unable to contribute and had all joined the assault on Kaido.
For a time, they had driven him into a desperate situation.
Kaido was already proficient in Rokushiki, swordsmanship, and the three types of Haki, and now he had mastered the Fish-Fish Fruit.
He had further awakened advanced Haki, opening up a considerable gap between himself and them.
No matter how strong CP0 was, they could not match the All-Stars, Sweet Commanders, or Shichibukai.

All eight CP0 members had fallen beneath his kanabo.
Only one remained now: Mendo, second
