Who Would Win: Kaido vs Shichibukai

Introduction

In the world of One Piece, the Shichibukai is a group of powerful and influential pirates. Among them, Kaido is a formidable opponent who has recently risen to become the new King of the Deluxe Group. This article discusses the hypothetical battle between Kaido and a Shichibukai member, Itachi, to determine who would emerge victorious.

Kaido vs Itachi: A Hypothetical Battle

Physical Capabilities

It is agreed that Kaido's physical prowess significantly outweighs Itachi's. Kaido possess immense strength, rendering him considerably physically stronger than Itachi. While Itachi excels in speed, it is not as notable as one might expect. Therefore, it would be safe to assert that Kaido has a decent margin of advantage in terms of speed as well.

Kaido’s Durability

Kaido’s durability is also notably superior to Itachi. It is argued that Kaido's body is more durable than the body of Susano, the legendary warrior. However, the Yata mirror reigns supreme as the most indestructible object in Thieves' Fists. Kaido’s endurance and stamina are unquestionably superior, which adds another layer of advantage.

Intelligence and Skill

Price Itachi, a skilled member of the Shichibukai, with a general intelligence that supports both his combat and strategic abilities. His Combat Intelligence, Skill, Hax, Reaction Time, and Stealth make him a dangerous adversary. However, when it comes to raw power, Kaido stands tall.

Win Conditions

Kaido’s Win Conditions

Kaido’s primary win condition revolves around his immense physical strength, making it highly likely that he can destroy Itachi on a physical level. Haki might not be able to mentally influence Itachi due to his unshakable willpower.

Itachi’s Win Conditions

Itachi, on the other hand, has several potential win conditions:

Tsukuyomi: This jutsu could instantly lead to Kaido's brain death if activated successfully. However, it requires proximity. Amaterasu: This technique can cause mutual destruction if successful. The Totsuka Blade: Itachi could win instantly if Kaido is hit by this weapon.

Among these, Tsukuyomi is the most likely win condition for Itachi.

Conclusion

While Itachi is undoubtedly a formidable opponent, he lacks the raw power necessary to defeat Kaido in a straight-up battle. Itachi's Hax and Kaido's massive overconfidence could, in fact, lead to an inevitable victory for Itachi.

Moreover, the Shichibukai already boast a Yonko-tier individual, with Doflamingo, Kuma, Weevil, Hancock, and Law all capable of standing at the Yonko commander level. In a scenario involving the entire crew, Kaido would still walk away comfortably victorious after a decent fight.
