These are the reactions of One Piece fans after witnessing Luffy's 'bone-crushing' encounter with Kaido in the latest chapter.
One Piece chapter 1044 has stirred up various emotions among the fanbase. Author Oda took readers on a journey of constant surprises. With the combination of awakened mythical Zoan devil fruit powers and Gear 5, Luffy turned Kaido from a Yonko to a 'Yonkoke' in the latest chapter. Using his newfound awakening, the Straw Hat captain delivered a powerful blow to Kaido, leaving many fans astonished.

Before the Wano arc commenced, many One Piece fans were eagerly awaiting Luffy's devil fruit awakening, particularly his Gear 5 state. Many envisioned a stylish, visually appealing Gear 5 form and an intense battle between Luffy and Kaido. Surprisingly, according to many, Oda turned the battle between Kaido and Luffy in the new power state into a familiar showdown reminiscent of cartoons that are deeply ingrained in the childhoods of many viewers.


Moreover, many One Piece readers feel that the battle between Luffy and Kaido in chapter 1044 closely resembles scenes from the famous cartoon 'Tom And Jerry'. Many perceive Luffy in chapter 1044 as no different from the famous mouse Jerry, while Kaido is portrayed as the pitiful cat Tom, constantly being outwitted by Jerry's antics.


Even more humorously, many readers suggest that Oda might be a fan of 'Tom And Jerry' himself, as he seems to have created scenes of Luffy fighting Kaido akin to a One Piece version of 'Tom And Jerry'. Indeed, Oda always knows how to surprise his readers, and chapter 1044 of One Piece is a prime example of this.
