ONE PIECE THEORY/DISSCUSSION: KIDD, LUFFY, AND TRAINING
So we were reintroduced to Kidd last chapter and the community has been speculating what this means for Kidd’s characterization. We’ve been waiting to see more from Kidd. There was a good chunk of the community dogging on Kidd because of how we saw him in a cell beaten and bloody. This chapter also revealed that Kidd has Conquerors haki making him the only other Supernova besides Luffy to have it. They just so happen to be cell mates now. There is a reason why Oda made this happen. I don’t understand why fans would think Oda wouldn’t address Kidd in depth in the future. It was clear since the introduction of the Supernova that Luffy, Law and Kidd were the three “special” ones ie the moment outside the slave auction house. The situation Luffy and Kidd are in make it a perfect opportunity to explore Kidd’s character. I believe we will see a deeper side to Kidd.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. We know that Kidd and Luffy have a grudge against Kaido and want to take him down, but as they are now, even if they teamed up, it’s just not going to happen. This prison is a blessing in disguise. It can serve as a perfect opportunity for both of them to potentially train. Maybe a little tuning up on the armament haki side of things. Another interesting thing brought up last chapter was a mystery prisoner. We still do not know who this prisoner is but it is safe to assume that they will be an ally, and a strong one at that. There is speculation that the mystery prisoner is one of the other 2 samurai Kinnemon was talking about. Something else people think that is a little more out there is that the other prisoner could potentially be Scooper Gaban. So who is Scooper Gaban? He is a member of the Roger Pirates, seen in the community as the number 3 man of the crew; GOL(D) Roger, SILVERS Rayleigh, and S(COPPER) Gaban. There was a cover story in the past where a man with a straw hat similar to that of what Tama makes, with long hair having a drink and talk with Crocus, another member of the Roger Pirate. Fans believe this man will show up in the story again. I believe that the man in the prison and he will train both Kidd and Luffy. Even if it isn’t Scooper Gaban, whoever that person is, he’s probably strong and will help Luffy and Kidd somehow get stronger.
There was an emphasis on fighting spirit and will last chapter as well. Alongside them, Conquerors haki came up which goes hand in hand with will power and all that. This just might be the arc where we expand upon Conquerors haki. Luffy has it, Kidd has it, if they somehow can get better at using it or understand it better, it will surely be a power up for both. There’s 2 weeks until Kinnemons plan goes into action. 2 weeks for Luffy and Kidd to not only get stronger but also escape. Conquerors haki may play a role in either. The will of the Conquering Kings will clash in the climax of this arc. I believe that it will be a group effort to defeat Kaido. A Full on Supernova attack on Kaido at the same time. Maybe not Zoro because to me his final opponent this arc is set in stone with the 2 sword style Shogun. Luffy and Kidd will be the main factor in Kaidos defeat, they have the most to fight for.
