Kaido, known as the “Strongest Creature in the World”, is one of the Yonko in the world of One Piece. He is the captain of the Beasts Pirates and rules over Wano Country. Despite his immense strength and durability, Kaido has been defeated 7 times over the course of his life. So who has managed to defeat this seemingly unstoppable force? Let’s take a look at the 7 people who have defeated Kaido.
Kozuki Oden
The first person to have ever defeated Kaido was none other than Kozuki Oden, the legendary samurai from Wano Country. 20 years before the current timeline, Oden challenged Kaido to protect Wano Country and clashed with him in an intense battle. Oden managed to overpower Kaido and deal severe injuries to him using his supreme swordsmanship skills. This was Kaido’s first ever defeat.
Monkey D. Luffy
The second person to defeat Kaido was the protagonist of One Piece himself, Monkey D. Luffy. During the Onigashima Raid, Luffy challenged Kaido to a 1v1 battle. After going through multiple gears and techniques, Luffy finally managed to unleash his most powerful Gear Fifth form. In this form, Luffy’s physical strength and haki reached extraordinary levels, allowing him to match and overpower Kaido’s attacks. With his giant fist imbued with advanced Conqueror’s Haki, Luffy knocked out Kaido, giving him his second defeat.
Red-Haired Shanks
Years before the current storyline, it is implied that Red-Haired Shanks defeated Kaido in battle at least once. As one of the Yonko, Shanks is among the very few top-tier fighters capable of fighting Kaido equally. While the details of their battle remain unclear, Shanks was most likely able to overcome Kaido’s durability and brute force using his masterful swordsmanship, Conqueror’s Haki and well-rounded combat skills. This defeat speaks volumes about Shanks’ power.
Marines & World Government
During Kaido’s execution attempt by the World Government and Marines, he was defeated and captured multiple times. However, every single time, Kaido managed to break free because of his extreme durability and physical strength. He survived numerous executions and overpowered the guards holding him to escape capture. Though the details are unknown, the World Government’s multiple failed execution attempts indicate that they did defeat Kaido to capture him, only for him to break free afterwards.
Shimotsuki Yasuie
An incidental mention by Kaido himself indicates that he was also defeated by Shimotsuki Yasuie, a former daimyo from Wano Country. 20 years ago, when Oden was absent from Wano, Yasuie protected the Kozuki clan from Kaido. He likely managed to defeat Kaido in a battle. However, the exact details of this clash remain a mystery.
Gol D. Roger
As per Kaido himself, he was also defeated in battle by none other than the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. This battle likely took place several decades ago when Roger was still alive and sailing the seas. With his immense haki mastery and combat skills, Roger likely managed to subdue even a monster like Kaido. The specifics of their fight are yet to be revealed in the story.
Rocks D. Xebec
During the times of the Rocks Pirates, it is heavily implied that Kaido suffered defeat at the hands of his captain, Rocks D. Xebec. As the leader of the formidable Rocks Pirates, Xebec was an incredibly powerful pirate even stronger than the legends like Roger and Whitebeard. He likely kept Kaido in check during internal clashes among the Rocks Pirates. This was one of Kaido’s earliest defeats.
Conclusion
In summary, Kaido has suffered 7 big defeats so far at the hands of powerful figures like Luffy, Oden, Shanks, Roger, Xebec, the Marines and Yasuie. Each of these defeats speak volumes about the power and combat capabilities of those who managed to take down the nigh-invincible Kaido. After all these crushing defeats, Kaido lived up to his title as the “Strongest Creature” by getting back up and continuing to be an unstoppable force of nature.
