Kaido's Devil Fruit (Speculations)

Let's go to the topic that shocked One Piece fans this week which is the revealing of the devil fruit of Kaido.

They say that the devil fruit of Kaido is "Ou Ou no mi" or Fish Fish fruit in English. But his devil fruit's official name was not still revealed. However, this will be the one that would complete the question on why Kaido can not die or be killed on the water. The introduction to Kaido during Dress Rosa Arc is that he is the most powerful on land air and water. Kaido's devil fruit is Fish Fish fruit and its type is mythical.

The question here is that what specifically is Kaido's fruit?

My guess here is that it is like the Namazu which is known as a giant catfish originating from Japanese Mythology and I have seen some similarities like Kaido's long mustache that is similar to the Namazu and one thing is that during the 18th century in Japan, Namazu replaced the role of the dragon as the ones who bring bad luck in Japan. Namazu was known for making Earthquakes.

Anyways, maybe some of you would doubt or ask why is it that the devil fruit of Kaido makes him look like a dragon? Why did Yamato said that the reason why Kaido brought up Onigashima is because of Kaido's Dragon Breath? Why is Kaido's devil fruit not called Dragon Dragon fruit? Many more are being asked why is that.

I am also confused, but if you think about it, Oda almost gave the answers to our questions.

I have two ideas bout Kaido being a dragon.

First one, if you remember at the recent or past chapters in One Piece, Oda introduced someone that is a new character in One Piece that would be the reason for the changing of form of Kaido. The one I am talking about is Gyukimaru.

As we all know, Gyukimaru is a fox. Gyukimaru can transform into a human form. Although there was no statement if this is because of the devil fruit, the possibility is high that Gyukimaru can transform into a human form because of his exceptional abilities. In Japanese folklore, fox spirits can shapeshift or change form.

If we notice, the devil fruit of Katarina Devon which is a nine-tailed fox that can shapeshift and imitate another person at the same time.

That is simply because of the reason that spirit foxes have that specific ability according to Japanese Folklore.

What I wanted to point out in this is that, like a fox that can transform, maybe Kaido are also like that. Most probably, the race Kaido belongs to are also like him and also has the ability like that. A dragon that can turn into a human.

We could see in the past chapters that they showed Kaido's daughter that she was likely to transform into dragon form at that time.

My second idea is about the rapidly spreading idea of the koi fish story. The koi fish story is possibly an event related or similar to what happened on Kaido's devil fruit.

In summary, with this speculation about the devil fruit of Kaido, his fruit is a Fish Fish fruit that looks like a Namazu and the reason why he can transform is that it is the ability of their race or the ability of his devil fruit.
