THE 3 CALAMITIES OF KAIDOU: KIN’EMON’S GRUDGE

Hello everyone and welcome back to yet another theory for your entertainment yet again. This time I shall be discussing the three calamities of Kaidou and Kin’emon’s grudge.

Kaidou’s Three Calamities

I’m sure alot of are tired of me saying this as I the one who started this thing back in March 2015, but Kaidou and his crew represents the Mongol Empire dun dun dun.

Kaidou The Beast

The Mongol Emperors Kaidou Represents:

Genghis Khan. The founder of the empire and known as one of the most evil men in world history for his slaughter of millions. This Khan was successful in controlling most of China and a little of Russia and utilizing the Silk Road trade(reference to SMILE trade).

Ogedai Khan. This Khan is known for his attempting invasions on Europe and the Middle East(most notably India) but most ended in failure.

Kublai Khan. This Khan is known for his two attempted invasions on Japan that ended in failure.

The motives behind the Mongol Empire’s constant invasions were believed to due to droughts and severe winters as those weather conditions were destroying their crops and resources. However, it was later revealed that the Mongols used drought and severe winters as an excuse to invade, massacre and pillage. In fact, it was because of RAIN that the Mongols had the resources to continually invade other countries.

History is recorded that the Mongols destroyed not because they had to but because they wanted to.

The Mongols used weather and climate change to invade and 3 distinct mother natures they took advantage of was droughts, severe winters and rain. The 3 Calamities of Kaidou represents drought, severe winters and rain; fire, earth and water.

JACK THE DROUGHT- FIRE-THE MIDDLE EAST

The Calamity of Drought(fire) is obviously Jack and before some say that Jack is more so tied to water, but remeber that droughts is the ABSENCE of water and the DRYNESS of land. What can lead to both? Fire. Now then, Jack references the Mongol invasion of the Middle East. The buildings of Zou is a reflection of the buildings of Yemen in the Middle East.

Did you know elephant warfare was a primary war strategy in the Middle East? However, the Mongols defeated the elephants and took their weapons which including shotels, which is the name of the weapon Jack uses.

QUEEN OF WINTER-EARTH-EUROPE

Next is the Calamity of Severe Winters(Earth). The climate of Mongolia is almost always cold and suffers from long, severe winters mainly consists of mountain ranges. One of the reasons Mongolia is so cold is because of its high altitude, being on mountains n’ all. This leads me to believe that this calamity has an ability that deals with Earth. Another thing, Kaidou resides on a snow island that is always winter.

Oh hey, Drake is in that panel and is a member of Kaidou’s crew. Due to a supply of gunpowder, the Mongols raged war upon Europe gaining a seious advantage during the winter, but due to the death of the chieftain Ogedai Khan also during the winter, the Mongols were forced to withdraw to elect a new Khan. The death of Ogedai lead to the empire being controlled by Khatuns(queens) who lead later sieges in Europe. The queens and daughters of the Khan were symbolized by a tiger, leading me to think that the ‘Queen’ under Kaidou has a White Tiger DF.

KNIGHT OF RAIN-WATER-JAPAN

Next is the Calamity of Rain(Water) and this one is special. Earlier I said the Mongol Empire used drought and winters as an excuse to invade but it was RAIN that gave them the ability to invade. Remember when I said that Jack and his DF mirrors the Mongol Invasion of the Middle East? Well the Calamity of Rain and his DF mirrors the Mongol Invasion of Japan.

It was the Calamity of Rain that allowed Kaidou to make Wano his territory and the Calamity of Rain is a traitor of Wano. Know where I’m going at? The Rain Calamity is a rogue samurai.

This man is a dragon zoan. I originally believed Kaidou was the dragon but because of Kin’emon, I no longer believe(still consider it though).

Kin’emon and Dragons. Normally anyone who attacks your homeland are viewed equally detestable right? But Kin’emon specifically has it out for dragons.


Kin’emon and Kaidou

Kin’emon showed anger and bravery when he heard of a dragon but fear when he heard of Kaidou. If Kaido was a dragon, shouldn’t Kin’emon have shown fear against the dragon in Punk Hazard? Kin’emon ain’t messing with Kaidou but he has no reason to fear a fellow samurai. The betrayal of the Rain Calamity allowed Kaidou’s forces to invade Wano leading a ongoing battle that become the source of Kin’emon’s seething hatred for dragons and pirates.

Lastly, are you curious about what dragons and rain has to do with each other? Everything.
Japanese dragons don’t have wings and they are primarily water deities with control over the rain. In many Japanese folktales, the dragon is depicted as the villain for they are nothing but snake-like water serpents and snakes are typically villains and backstabbers no?

FINAL THOUGHTS

I personally do not believe that we’ll have a calamity of wind since that element is pretty much a Mongol’s worst nightmare. The Mongol’s tried invaded Japan twice but failed because of a powerful typhoon that Japan called the kamikaze(divine wind). Two invasion stopped because of a storm and Japan believed that it was the god Raijin watching over them(Dragon & Enel incoming). D always brings forth a storm…

    IS KILLER THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE KID ALLIANCE?

    I was wondering who came up with the idea of Kid alliance. Was it Kid or Killer?

    Eustass Captain Kid seems like a crazy maniac who is too proud to form an alliance. He focus on strength and believes only the strong deserves to be a pirate in the New World. He crucified Haritsu Kendiyo because of having weak resolve.

    He is also short-tempered and can be easily provoked. He picked fight with Apoo because Apoo was staring at him!!

    It seems a little out of his character to plan an alliance to survive in the New World.

    Now, lets focus on Killer. Killer is the only member of the worst generation other than Zoro who doesnt have a devil fruit and who is not the captain of the crew. His position in the crew is unknown, but he is the only other member of the Kid pirates who stands out than the rest. He doesnt add any honorifics and calls Kid by his name. The third Kid pirate who got a few panel time is Heat (probably the 3rd strongest member of the crew). He calls Kid as master/captain, but Killer doesnt.


    Its pretty obvious that Killer has some special relation with Kid. He is the one who guides Kid and the member Kid listens to.


    He clearly has better knowledge as shown when he informed Kid about the Ox Bell.


    He is also calm unlike Kidd. He called Luffy, Law and Kid short tempered in Sabaody.


    Their personality indicates that the idea of forming an alliance didnt come from Kidd’s brain. It came from Killer. Its also evident that Kid didnt want to include Apoo in the alliance. But Killer invited Apoo regardless of Kid’s objection.

    He was negotiating with Hawkins and was shouting at both Kid and Apoo to stop fighting.


    Its also really interesting that declaration of their target came from Killer!

    Once again it portrays him as the real mastermind and strategist behind Kid alliance.

    The question is why Killer came up with the plan of forming the alliance. Is it only to make Kid one of the top pirates of NW? I think Killer came up with the idea so that Kid doesnt get killed easily. Kid was surely going ham after entering NW. He was picking fight even against yonkos.

    I think somewhere along the line Kid fought against a top fighter and nearly got killed. As you might have noticed, someone fucked Kid up during the timeskip. He lost his arm and look at the scar on his face, body and another arm.

    Thats when Killer thought Kid will die if he continues to fight in this way with only their crew. So he formed the alliance with his own initiative and is probably the main strategist of the alliance. Please share your thoughts.

      Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid, Doflamingo & Bellamy Historical Connections

      one_piece_historical_connections_3_by_elizabethober-d7inczs

      Edward Low: Captain EdwardNedLow born around 1690 into poverty in London. His wife died in childbirth in late 1719. Two years later, he became a pirate He captained a number of ships, usually maintaining a small fleet of three or four, burned most of his captured ships, captured about 100. Remains notorious as one of the most vicious pirates of the age, a man of “amazing and grotesque brutality.” When in a rage he resorted to decapitated, burning people alive, forcing them to eat limbs he cut off, etc. he was never caught, ending his days in Brazil.

      Eustace Monk: Born in 1170, studied black magic, lived in a monastery for awhile, then left to avenge his murdered father, burning the man’s property down. He then became a pirate in the English channel. Was outlawed at times by England and France, Started up a large band of pirates called the Eustace Brother. Made a home base on one of the channel islands. Would often turn against allies and kingdoms he was allied with.

      William Kidd: Some historians argue that his piratical reputation unjust, as there is only evidence that Kidd was a privateer. Kidd’s fame springs largely from the sensational circumstances of his questioning before the English Parliament and the ensuing trial. He thought the ship he was taking was an enemy ship but it was not and so it was deemed piracy by the English and he was tried. As his trial ensued his friends deserted him. He was also accused of murdering his crew member when in truth the member was committing mutiny and Kidd was in the right. He is best known for being one of the only pirates to bury his treasure and did so before coming into port and being arrested as he did not want the Governor to have it. If it were not for his wealthy noble backers, who wished to remain anonymous at all costs and to distance themselves from Kidd in any way possible, his contacts probably would have saved him.

      Samuel Bellamy: English pirate in early 18th century is crew captured at least 53 ships under his command. Bellamy became known for his mercy and generosity toward those he captured on his raids. He was part of a mutiny on Captain Hornigold’s ship, Hornigold left Marianne with his loyal followers, including Teach. The remaining 90-man crew then elected Bellamy as captain. He liked expensive clothes, especially black coats. His favorite weapons were four dueling pistols that he always carried in the sash. His captain rules were almost democratic. His crew liked him a lot and sometimes even called him “Robin Hood of the Sea”. Captain Bellamy was also a good strategist. His ship was quick and agile.

      Dominique You: A French Privateer and Politician, You was falsely convicted of piracy in the gulf, but the Americans failed to capture him. He had reputation for being very bold and daring. He was pardoned by American for helping them in their war against Britain. He preyed on preyed on Spanish ships. Did meet up and work with Lafitte for a time.

        SEVENTH SHICHIBUKAI FINALLY REVEALED

        Others have tried to crack the seventh Shichibukai for awhile. Now it’s my turn. Who is the seventh Shichibukai? Many believe he is a brand new character, however, I only half agree. While the seventh character is new to the manga, he isn’t new to the OP universe. I’m talking about Shiki.

        I mentioned Shiki’s return in another theory before, so I’ll transfer info here.

        [​IMG]
        So first thing is first, why did Oda bothered mentioning Shiki? It doesn’t make any since for useless info to be added. Knowing Oda, he just doesn’t add unnecessary info to his story. Shiki has some kind of significant purpose outside his feat of breaking out of Impel Down.

        We know Shiki is cannon thanks to Oda and that the early events before the story started actually occurred. The movie Strong World on the other hand is not cannon and should be completely disregarded. We also know Zephyr as a character is cannon, with his Z movie also not considered cannon like Strong World. Zephyr was an Admiral for the Marines until he left after losing his men to the very person who became the seventh Shichibukai.

        Now look right here:
        x
        Now look here:

        Shiki the Golden Lion has been around for a long time. Zephyr in the movie died at 74. He was an admiral at 38 and an instructor at 41. That’s a 36 year gap to be filled.

        Now Shiki competed with Roger during his days of piracy. Considering how he talks to Whitebeard (example shown below) and the fact that he fought Roger on equal grounds comes to tell you that Shiki is no pushover. But what if Shiki was responsible for causing the incident to Zephyr and was the one who cut his arm off? Shiki is a swordsman after all, though now his swords are his legs.
        [​IMG]

        Shiki marched straight into the former Marine HQ and slaughtered a mountain of marines. It took Sengoku and Garp to bring him down, and he still escaped after being thrown into the impenetrable fortress that is the Impel Down. So this doesn’t surprise me if Shiki toppled Zephyr in a fight.

        Let’s continue about Shiki. Last time we saw him, he was on a jungle island somewhere in the Grand Line, it could be Paradise or the New World, it never mentioned which.
        hy
        But what if this island was actually Zou.

        Yes, the mountains look slightly different with the 785 chapter showing an unusual tree species than the Strong World chapter. But also look here:

        Who is he/she? (Looks like a she to me) She may be a result of Shiki’s planning.

        Note a lot could change, and the mountain could have suffered physical alterations (highly doubt it), but keep Zou in mind. Say Shiki is on Zou, the seventh Shichibukai is yet to be fully revealed. Based on how Oda is introducing these new characters, I am expecting the seventh Shichibukai and third Admiral within the next two-to-four arcs.

        Look here:
        okAll these characters are only being shown their heads, not their full bodies. Notice what is under Buggy’s head, we have something “furry” of some sort shown. Some are saying that it’s part of Buggy’s shoulder wear. Others claim its Doflamingo’s coat. I say it is neither, it is the seventh Shichibukai. Let’s do an elimination, don’t we?
        The marines and revolutionaries have their own panels, so I will eliminate any possibility of them being that “fur” thing. Here are the Yonko:
        • Shanks
        • Big Mam
        • Kaido
        • Blackbeard
        Shichibukai:
        • Doflamingo Donquixote
        • Dracule Mihawk
        • Boa Hancock
        • Bartholomew Kuma
        • Trafalgar Law
        • Buggy
        • Unknown Shichibukai
        Worst Generation:
        • Monkey D Luffy
        • Roronoa Zoro
        • Eustass Kidd
        • Killer
        • Basil Hawkins
        • Scratchmen Apoo
        • Trafalgar Law
        • X Drake
        • Urouge
        • Jewelry Bonney
        • Capone Bege

        As you see, everyone above except the seventh and Doflamingo has their face shown. But that “furry” thing isn’t Doflamingo specifically because the pattern of Doflamingo’s coat and the “fur” object are different. It isn’t Jack either because he shares the same pattern as Doflamingo.


        Notice how in both pictures, the coats appear more feather-like rather than a downward spike pattern. But look at Shiki’s hair:

        A perfect match from a cone top to a spread as the pattern descends.

        With the text bubble in the way, likely on purpose, any evidence of a steering wheel lodged in the way is none. This is likely as Oda doesn’t want us to guess who the last Shichibukai really is, and Shiki’s twenty year old plan will finally come to play during Luffy’s era.

        An extra side note, unrelated to the theory, look at the head underneath Akainu next to Fujitora and Kizaru. No doubt that is the thrid Admiral. Keep your eyes out for character with curly dark hair.

        Anyway, back to topic, Zephyr left the marines because of the injustice of allowing the seventh Shichibukai to join the ranks of exempt pirates. To be a Shichibukai you have to be well-known with a threat that can put fear among other pirates. But why would Shiki want to join the very group of people that were responsible for Roger’s death. Well he has something planned, and he means to show the world the true terror of a pirate. If you ask me, he will play a significant role in the initiation of the Throne Wars described by Doflamingo, and against the Worst Generation, the Yonko, and the Shichibukai, he will open a wrath unlike any other seen in One Piece. What is he planning? Whatever it is, he is likely pulling a Blackbeard in using his special status.

        Before I end this, there begs one last question. Why would the WG allow Shiki to join the Shichibukai? Well he does meet the qualifications to become one, he is also on par with the Yonko as far as strength goes. If anything, the WG were probably desperate for the power needed to fill in the missing strength gap that Aokoji, Blackbeard, Gecko Moriah and Crocodile left vacant. This leaves the WG bouncing back from an almost ruptured power-struggle.

        To rap things up:
        • Shiki is back
        • Shiki is the seventh Shichibukai
        • Shiki is responsible for cutting Zephyr’s arm
        • Shiki may be on Zou
        • Shiki will be revealed in the next arc or two

        And done…

          What Will Happen To The Kid Alliance

          ftrdeswe

          I don’t even think it’ll happen at all but sometimes i just like to think about how One Piece could go. So remember i don’t think this will happen at all i just thought of something.

          So throughout the series the supernovas have basically been used as pirate crews going on the same type of journey as the Strawhats but just yknow different. This is even more apparent with Law and Kid’s crew. Luffy and Kid even have the same exact goal, although how they go about completing it is basically opposites from one another, and with the revelation that the Kid/Hawkins/Apoo alliance is going to fight Shank’s crew i just started thinking about what would happen.

          So i think they will obviously fail in some regard, and they definitely won’t take down the Red Hair Pirates but they are three strong pirate crews so they may get some stuff done (i don’t really wanna actually speculate on the actual battle between the crews too much because we dont really have a basis to predict things). Imagine though that Kid eventually fights with Shanks himself. Shanks seems like they kind of guy that even though Kid is strong he wouldn’t go all out on him or kill him ever. Also, we’ve seen in the past that Kid even though he has killed a lot of people can show his respects to certain people depending on the circumstance. He did this with Luffy when he figured out Luffy and Kid’s goals we’re the same. So i don’t think Kid will want to kill shanks or anything especially when they fight and talk like manga/anime fight tend to do, and i don’t think Shanks is the type to hold a grudge or beat up kid that badly either.

          So imagine if the Kid/Hawkins/Apoo alliance fight bravely against Shank’s crew even to the point of impressing everyone there (maybe even taking out a few lower leveled guys like Rockstar) but they of course end up defeated (It’s a Yonko crew and one of the strongest at that). Maybe they make a small dent but don’t do much. Kid would be angry of course but after Kid and Shanks battle Shanks and his crew would stand triumphant while the alliance would feel defeated and saddened. Shanks would pull a nice guy protagonist move and extend his hand out, tell them they were strong and brave, maybe even have a feast with them like OP characters do. Kid would even start to respect Shanks even more Especially Shank’s is the type of guy that followed his dreams no matter what anyone said, which is the type of guy Kid respect. The two crews would feast they and laugh and Kid would end up before the feast is over looking up to Shanks as a role-model.

          This is where my thoughts came together though, and it sort of ties in with a lot of other theories. Imagine if at this time the Blackbeard pirates attacked the Red Hair Pirates, with the wounded K/H/A Alliance on board and around in their ships. Maybe they even heard of the K/H/A alliance and figured out about he their plans to attack Shank’s Crew. Shank’s crew would be wounded from the battle before, not by much but they’re still not 100%. Shank’s also seems like a nice guy, a protector, he even lost his arm for luffy and protected Coby and the rest of the Whitebeard pirates at marineford. So imagine if Shank’s loses and dies to Blackbeard because of his wounded crew but most importantly because during the battle he was trying his best to protect the wounded alliance members but mainly Kid Himself. It would tie in perfectly for Shank’s character and would go along with the “Shank’s will die” and “Blackbeard will kill Shank’s theories”, But also it would give Kid so much development for his character. He would feel the same pain Luffy felt but even worse. To him it would be all his fault that Shanks died protecting him from Blackbeard. Kid would start to follow more in Shanks footsteps, he’d be less of the rabid dog/kill everyone that laughs at me type and instead a gentler protecting gallant type like Shanks. Kid would vow to defeat Blackbeard and maybe even afterwards Kid would Join with Luffy for the End goal of killing/fighting Blackbeard.

          I know all this is a little far fetched and I don’t expect it to happen but hey anything is possible.

          Tl;dr Kid’s Alliance will lose to Shank’s Crew. Kid will gain intense respect for Shanks while Shank’s tells him he fought well and will congratulate Kid and his alliance. The Blackbeard Pirates will attack Shanks and his crew at that time and Shanks will die protecting Kid and his alliance.
