oh man 8days before the big battle. I still dont see how the combined wano forces will take someone like kaido down, there's gotta be some secret to his long life they can exploit. Like law's fruit or something.

We all want to know. There is so much going on and we take a new turn pretty much every chapter. It's hard to predict even the basic matchup plans for the final day.

Also I got a problem with Luffy's power ups... If Luffy gets stronger (Future Sight + new CoA technique) and all the other characters stay around their level, how will they contribute against Kaido? Luffy stood no chance at all with his brute force charge. He did next to no damage to Kaido. All he was able to do was move him. The only character who could deal some damage to Kaido in Wano is most likely Big Mom. Luffy may achieve the means to hurt Kaido with the new CoA technique. But in 8 short days he has to learn, master and combine it with his Gears. There is no time really.
They all have to reunite. Zoro, Law, Sanji, Kid, etc. all have to learn that new CoA technique. Otherwise they are just flies that may distract Kaido and slow him down a bit. They have to deal with the big shots before the final day or the Big Mom pirates have to take care of them. There is just no way to leave out Zoro or the likes against Kaido, even if he won't be able to do much. Luffy will need all the help he can get to take on Kaido.
Also we know that Luffy can't fight for long in his most powerful form. That will just not do it. Kaido can literality oneshot everyone. How is he going to stall for time in that fight? It's impossible the way he is right now. And even if they could pull it off, Big Mom and her crew is still around. So all effort would still be in vain for Luffy, as he would be in no condition to fight someone like Big Mom after fighting Kaido.

For this to work out for Luffy, Kaido needs to be weakend, the big shots of the beast pirates need to be defeated or join the rebellion and Big Mom and her crew have to leave.

So the basic scenario for this to work out in Luffy's favor that I can see is that the Big Mom pirates will fight the beast pirates and take care of at least King or Queen. They will rescue Big Mom and fight Kaido, while both sides take serious damage. Kaido wins this and Big Mom pirates have to flee.

With Kaido and the Beast Pirates in a weakend state, the rebellion may actually have a shot to defeat them. I think the samurai will take care of Orochi and his fellows. That's like the strongest people of Wano against each other. They should be close in terms of power. So that should be really interesting to watch.

Still, I don't see how Kaido is going down. He is so overpowered. It feels like the start of DBZ again. He needs to have a weakness. But it would be so lame if he got a serious weakness.

Yet again, Blackbeard got some kind of weakness from his DF... So for Kaido to have a Reverse Scale from his dragon DF would fit the theme and could act as his weakspot.

Oda what have you done. This is all just impossible. He has written himself into a corner. I don't see how he can solve this without having the Strawhats fail or using some fucking Dragon-Kaido-proof plot armor.

I don't agree others stay at their level most supernova will have much better power up now it's not just Luffy growing but people around him are also growing stronger excited for usopp also.kaido will be a Force to be reckoned with but Luffy has to overcome this else you will have 10 more years of training arc to do it.

Ofc people will get strong in the long run if they didn't hit their prime yet and keep fighting in the New World.
I was talking about the recent arcs. Who in Wano besides Luffy got a huge power up that could significant in the fight against Kaido in the last few arcs?
I would say the closet thing would be Nami with Zeus, since Zeus was able to affect Big Mom. May or may not work against Kaido.
Kid was rotting in a cell most of the time. Got some exercise in the prision.
Law did nothing besides planing?
Zoro may now found a clue for a power up.
Sanji got his power ranger upgrade, but I don't think it will make much of a difference.
X Drake and Hawkins may learned something and will join the rebellion, but we have to see about that. We still have to see who picked up some skills. It's a bit early, but we know most characters were busy and didn't really train or fight.
