That's because we mostly saw him with the Scabbards who are also huge (except for Izo who's a little baby man).

Like Kiku is twice the size of Izo.

Maybe he’s her brother or nephew. Sorta like my dumb theory that Catarina Devon is the sister of Usopp’s Mom.

Edit: Also, I’m seeing some spoilers for Chapter 999 on Reddit. Apparently Kaido DOES have a Devil Fruit; A Mythical Zoan called the Uo Uo no Mi, or Fish Fish Fruit, likely in reference to the legend of a Carp swimming up a Waterfall and turning into a Dragon.

That’s right, Kaido are the Magikarp fruit and evolved into Gyarados. And he’s not even a Shiny!

i get that the fruit name is just a fun thing about how its not really a fish anymore its a dragon, this is entirely a tangent: what would happen if you ate a devil fruit that turned you into a fish like a shark or a trout or something? would you still drown? I know we've seen a fishman eat a fruit before, but this is different since fishmen can innately live underwater, this would be the fruit giving the ability (presumably, since fish need water) so would it be rescinded?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Reading the tea leaves of thrice translated spoilers four full days before the chapter is even scanned is a staple of the One Piece thread. Y’all should know what to expect when you see spoiler bars before the weekend when the official translation is out.

I mean, thank you for using tags, but it's pretty annoying that the thread becomes a FOIA document only two days after the official chapter came out

I honestly feel like this thread rarely actually talks about spoilers, but it being the run-up to chapter 1000 and hype building, it makes some sense for it to start now

I wanna read the scattered spoilers days before the chapter. Then I wanna read the meme filled garbage scans. Then I wanna read the official chapter. Then I wanna read the entire arc again when it's done. Then I wanna read the colour manga when it eventually comes out. Then I wanna read the entire manga from the start. Frankly, spoilers should come out the day after the last chapter, so I never stop thinking about One Piece.

I feel like discussing spoilers before there’s even a scan should be frowned upon. They usually appear on Tuesdays, and that means that there’s five days out of seven that people who only read the officials can browse this thread without being super careful. And we all know that sometimes people gently caress up their tags or quote a post incorrectly and accidentally give details away! Spoiler tags aren’t much of a safeguard against boring adventures.

Mail a copy of chapter 1000 to everyone of the world imo.

Make it an event like how everyone in South America gathered together to watch Goku and Frieza save the universe.

Not exactly the same thing, but Smiley had an axolotl devil fruit, which is an animal that thrives underwater. Page One's Spinosaurus fruit is also a sort of aquatic dinosaur.

So Oda has dipped his toes in, but I think he realizes how boring it would be to have a marine animal zoan that can't function underwater.

Though maybe that guy from Whitebeard's allied forces who looked like a walrus might be a walrus zoan?

What that poster was saying is that since the chapters initially release digitally instead of via weekly physical release, there aren't any early spoilers/scanlations due to leakers. They are wishing for One Piece to not get preemptive spoilers and leaks before the official release.

Maybe instead of Oda switching to a digital release we could make his life easier by just having a spoiler thread and a non-spoiler thread.
