>How would Blackbeard do against Kaido? I feel like the fact he can greatly nerf him with the Yami Yami would give BB a big advantage.

Blackbeard vs. Kaido is a close fight. Blackbeard’s Yami Yami no Mi could nullify Kaido’s Mythical Zoan powers upon contact, disabling his dragon form and reducing his durability. The Gura Gura no Mi’s shockwaves could also deal significant damage to Kaido, despite his toughness. Blackbeard’s cunning might exploit Kaido’s recklessness. However, Kaido’s immense strength, speed, and Haki (especially Conqueror’s) could overwhelm Blackbeard, whose Yami Yami no Mi amplifies damage taken. Kaido’s durability and hybrid forms make him hard to put down, even without his fruit powers. If Blackbeard lands consistent hits to nerf Kaido and uses Gura Gura effectively, he could win. But Kaido’s raw power and Haki might outlast Blackbeard’s endurance. It’s a 60-40 in Blackbeard’s favor if he maximizes his fruit powers; otherwise, Kaido’s brute force could dominate.
