Kuzan VS Kaido

Kuzan,[4][8] better known by his former epithet Aokiji, is a former Marine admiral and the first one to be revealed.[1] He was nominated by Sengoku for the position of fleet admiral.[9] However, after losing the position to Sakazuki, he resigned from the Marines.[3] He has currently affiliated himself with the Blackbeard Pirates for unknown reasons.[2] He is a minor antagonist of the Long Ring Long Land Arc (in the anime, one of the main antagonists of the Foxy's Return Arc), and along with the other Marines, he is one of the major antagonists of the Marineford Arc. Kuzan is an incredibly tall, slim, yet muscular man. At 298 cm tall, he is just slightly shorter than the other two admirals pre-timeskip.[10] He has black, curly hair cut to chin length that fans out at the tips, tanned skin, and an altogether lean, long build. Kuzan is a very laid back man, showing no shock or surprise from almost anything. His lack of interest and "Lazy Justice" (だらけきった正義 Darakekitta Seigi?)[14] (as he describes his motto himself) often leads others to believe he can not possibly be a marine of such a high ranking, which causes them to underestimate him, making him all the more dangerous (it is unknown whether this is a facade or if he is genuinely lazy). However, if he deems a situation worthy, he will take action. During the Whitebeard War at Marineford, Aokiji grudgingly shredded his usual lax and friendly nature, for a more ruthless and aggressive personality, repeatedly targeting Whitebeard himself with his Hie Hie no Mi, managing to severely injure "Diamond" Jozu and generally hampering any attempts at rescue or escape for the invading pirate fleets.

Kaido of the Beasts,[7][13] renowned as the world's "Strongest Creature",[14][8] is the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates[5][11] and one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World.[4] He is also the father of Yamato.[15][16][17] From his base on Onigashima,[6] Kaido has occupied Wano Country along with his crew and once allied with Wano's shogun, Kurozumi Orochi,[18][19] until Kaido decided to dispose of him for his New Onigashima Project.[20] Decades ago before the formation of his own crew, Kaido was an apprentice in the legendary Rocks Pirates,[3] and he is currently in an alliance with his former Rocks crewmate and fellow Emperor, Big Mom.[21] Kaido was first referred to by Monkey D. Garp in the Post-Enies Lobby Arc[4] and then directly mentioned by Gecko Moria in the Thriller Bark Arc,[22] with his status as one of the Four Emperors revealed after the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Moria.[23] Thus, Kaido is the third Emperor mentioned by name and the last to debut.[1] Before he debuted in person, his voice was heard in a flashback that Kozuki Momonosuke had when first disembarking on Dressrosa.[24][25] He is the primary antagonist of the Wano Country Arc and one of the central antagonists of the Four Emperors Saga.
