Kaido the Continent Puller? Bored of clubbing Scabbards, Kaido takes a break to continue on the New Onigashima Project. There’s a raid going on in my own base? Whatever. I got priorities here.
Possibly the single best feat in the manga as Kaido rips Onigashima off the ground with nothing but clouds and begins to move it to the Flower Capital. He didn’t even transform into a dragon to use his power, like Dr. Marco healing others in his human form. Not even using his own strength, that idea that Kaido can float islands and drop them on you while he chills out and has a drink is terrifying.
New Onigashima, same as the old Onigashima. Kaido said he was going to make Onigashima the new capital and he meant it in a very literal sense of moving the entire base over. Kaido is completely justified in that the current Flower Capital is an ideal centralized location all the land and water routes in Wano connect to. It’s the safest location and he can respond to attacks from any side. If we look at a map of Wano, Onigashima is just about the right size to fit in the central region..if we crush everything except Fujiyama.
Kaido taking Wano itself hostage. Good lord, we weren’t ready for his final form. Kaido lifting Onigashima is the most jaw-dropping feat in the series for me. Sure there might have been others which were bigger in scale and magnitude like Whitebeard tilting the oceans or nuke attacks like Enel’s Raigou.
Anyway the concept of uprooting a floating giant skull with its own unique weather, the aesthetics of it and how nonchalantly Kaido pulls this off while being in the middle of a freaking raid just ticks all the boxes for me.
