Kaido holds the highest known active bounty in the series after the Time Skip, note As well as the third highest overall behind those of the late Edward Newgate and Gol D. He's allied with Kurozumi Orochi, the shogun of the Land of Wano, and currently resides in Onigashima, an island in the country. During this time, Kaido assembles an army of mock Zoan Devil Fruit users, by way of SMILE fruits developed by Caesar and supplied by Doflamingo, under the alias of Joker. Drake attacks one of his favorite islands just after the War Arc, while Law allies with Luffy in order to take him down. As a testament to his strength, he tried to make a grab for power by attacking Whitebeard before he arrived at Marineford, but Shanks prevented him from doing so.įollowing the Paramount War, Kaido comes into conflict with a bunch of younger, ballsier pirates. The first thing we learn about Kaido is that he's the one who sent Gecko Moria over the deep end, so he's far from a pleasant fellow. He has the Fish-Fish Fruit ( Uo Uo no Mi), Model: Azure Dragon, an immensely powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit which allows him to assume the form of a dragon, a king among beasts. It is later revealed that he and Big Mom knew one another in the past and that he owes her a great debt.

The first insight we have to his strength comes from Trafalgar Law, who calls Kaido the strongest "creature" in existence (though he is regarded as a human), implying he's at least on the same level as Whitebeard. Consequently, he's one of the more enigmatic figures of the series. Kaido is the Supreme Commander of the Animal Kingdom Pirates, the third of the Four Emperors to be mentioned, and the last one to make an appearance.
