Summary:
After attacking Kaida, Luffy comes across a badly injured Speed, who along with Tama was brutally attacked by Kaida on their way to Tama’s home. In a fit of rage, Luffy confronts Kaidou and hits him with Gear 3 and Gear 4 attacks. Kaidou transforms back into his normal form but is otherwise unharmed and defeats Luffy with a single blow.
Kaidou’s dragon form slams into the ground after being hit in the head by Luffy. As his subordinates flee the area, they note that a samurai was apparently behind the attack. Once on the ground, Luffy yells at his crew and asks if they managed to escape Kaidou’s dragon breath attack. Elsewhere, Shutenmaru decides to stay and watch the fight instead of fleeing. Luffy overhears several of Kaidou’s subordinates discovering Lady Speed, who is badly injured. Fearing for Tama’s life, Luffy asks Lady Speed if she was able to get Tama out of the city safely; They learn that Kaidou saw them and despite doing everything she could to protect Tama, Kaidou injured them both.
Angered, Luffy berates himself for not going with them and prepares to attack Kaido. Law frantically tells Luffy that they need to check on their crews and berates him for jeopardizing their plans; Ignoring Law, Luffy yells at Kaidou, getting his attention. Despite still being drunk, Kaidou recognizes Luffy and comments on how he finally arrived in Wano. He then unleashes another fire towards Luffy, burning the immediate surroundings; however, Lady Speed is able to propel Luffy into the air to Kaido’s eye level. Luffy immediately activates Gear 3 and hits Kaido with numerous punches. The remaining Beast Pirates are shocked to see Kaidou take such a terrible beating and he falls from the sky and transforms back into his human form.
Luffy rushes forward, activating Gear 4 and continuing his attack. However, to everyone’s surprise, Kaidou gets back to his feet. Glaring at Luffy, Kaidou swings his kanabō and strikes Luffy, appearing to lunge forward, mocking his declaration that he will become the Pirate King as Luffy flies through the air and is knocked unconscious by the blow.
