Unfortunately, there's really no consistency in Kaido's fight with Luffy. Kaido sat around getting staggered and acting pained from base Luffy's no-named punches, but then went on to take some of G4's strongest attacks like they were tickling him.
Red Roc leaves Kaido on the ground shook at the start of the fight, yet a heavily fatigued Kaido eats an aCoC Overkong Gun and bounces back instantly with a smile on his face. Kaido eats a Kong Gatling from Luffy and is napping on the floor for a few pages while Big Mom looks on in horror, yet an aCoC snakeman volley gets walked through with a flirtly face. Kaido dodges a Red Hawk because he's scared of the damage it could do, but then goes on to tank an aCoC G5 volley and remain on his feet.
Oda dropped the ball on how he handled the power-progression of that fight compared to the bout with Lucci at EL where there was a very stark difference in performance and how the two compared with each gear.
