~ Kaido |
Kaido (in Japanese: カイドウ Kaidō) is the captain of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors in the New World. He is the one who killed Gekko Moriah's old crew. He also tried to attack Whitebeard when he tried to save Ace but was stopped by Shanks. He is also considered to be The Strongest Creature in the World due to having an army of five hundred artificial devil fruit users in his crew of the Beast Pirates and is greatly feared as he himself cannot die.
Personality
Not much is known about Kaido's personality but it is implied by Trafalgar Law that he has a temper as he stated Kaido would even kill Doflamingo if something happened to the SMILE factory. He seems to enjoy suicide attempts as a hobby because of his seemingly indestructible body. It is also mentioned that Kaido is not up for negotiations which caused Doflamingo, who is usually fearless to fear having the thought of going up against him.
He is also very arrogant and prideful in himself seeing Doflamingo and the Supernovas as weaklings. When he is enraged, he would also take his rage out on his subordinates by attacking them sending the poor subordinates flying great distances.
Abilities
As a Yonko, Kaido is an extremely powerful individual. He is stated to be so strong that Doflamingo, an incredibly strong fearless pirate with a powerful crew became terrified at the thought of having to face him. His intimidating reputation seemed to make Doflamingo ponder on fighting the marine admirals when Law suggested quitting being a Shichibukai or staying to deal with the angry Yonko. He is even strong enough to fight Shanks (another powerful Yonko) when the latter intercepted him from attacking Whitebeard. Despite Kaido's menacing capabilities, not much is known about his abilities such as whether he possesses any devil fruit powers.
He has many powerful subordinates such as Jack (One Piece) and after hiring Donquixote Doflamingo and Caesar Clown he has been able to make a large army but now that Doflamingo has been defeated he has lost his means of doing so.
Physical Prowess
Kaido is considered to be the strongest "creature" in the world. He is said to have survived countless situations where he would have been killed or executed. He has survived many types of torture and even execution. His body is strong enough to even shatter spears that would stab him. He attempted to commit suicide dozens of times but would always survive every time (even to the point of being a hobby). He is stated to be a being that is near immortal and simply cannot be killed. For instance, he fell from Ballon Terminal (a sky island about 10,000 meters above the ground) to the island where Eustass Kid's alliance was at and survived it with no scratches but just a headache.
He appears to have immense strength as he defeated Eustass Kid, a notorious pirate with a bounty of 470,000,000 and emerge without a scratch even taunting him for his loss.

After learning about Doflamingo's defeat and the destruction of the SMILE factory by the Straw Hat and Heart pirates alliance, his men tried to informs him about the news. Kaido, however, appeared on the Sky Island called Balloon Terminal. He attempted to commit suicide by free falling at a height of 10,000 meters to hit the ground below.
