This theory is sort of an addition to this previous one I posted here:
Kaido's 3 Disasters - Drought, Winter & Rain
So to fully grasp the following context I'm going to talk about, I would strongly advise you to read my previous theory or read the following spoiler as a short summary containing the most valueable information of the theory:
As the Mongols were laying siege on Japan it became clear that the Mongols were far superiour to Japan regarding military might. Their weapons and armor were far more advanced and Japan couldn't deal with the Mongols long range attacks as they were mostly samurais and experienced sword fighters. It also has been quite a time of Japans last combat, leaving nearly no commanders with any actual combat experience.
So why did the Mongols fail to conquer Japan in the end?
Simply put, wind. During a big siege in the night, a typhoon caused Mongol ship captains to reembark in order to avoid the risk of being caught off guard by a japanese surprise attack. This proved to be fatal, as only a few ships had not set out at sea and those who did... were all destroyed.
This was a big turning point and more and more battles turned in the favor of Japan. Upon loss of yet another big battle, the Mongols were forced to withdraw back to their ships when yet another typhoon hit them and destroyed most of their ships, ultimately leading to Japans victory.
Years later, there was a second attempt to conquer Japan. However, Japan was better prepared this time. They fortified the coasts and organized their samurai in said regions better. This drove the Mongols yet again back to their ships. And guess what, a massive typhoon rampaged there for 2 days straight, annihilating the majority of the Mongol fleet. After these events, the Mongols never laid siege on Japan again.
According to those scenarios, a person with a power over wind/weather/storm will be crucial for the defeat of Kaido and the Beasts Pirates.
Does anyone come to mind?
Taking this one step further...
In popular japanese myths, the god Raijin was the god who turned the storms against the Mongols. For those who don't know, Raijin is the japanese god of lightning. His appearance is that of a tall monk.

Monkey D. Dragon |
The obvious first choice would be Monkey D. Dragon. I'm not going to talk about Dragon having wind powers here, there's already several other threads about that: Dragon's Devil Fruit: Storm, Wind, Weather Dragon's Haki - Influencing The Weather Dragon was already investigating in the direction of Doflamingo, having sent Sabo to stop the weapon trading in Dressrosa. He then talked to Koala, who informs him about the weapons containing a substance called Liquor Iron Ore, which can only be found in very specific countries: ![]() ![]() Right after that, Dragon tells Koala to assemble the commanders of the Revolutionary Army from all over the world, possibly indicating that Dragon knows, where those weapons are produced or at least supplied from. ![]() Secretly boarding one of the Revolutionary ships on Dressrosa, Burgess was able to direct the Blackbeard Pirates to Baltigo, the Revolutionary Armys HQ. Upon seeing, how Baltigo got destroyed, I don't think there was a fight, indicating that the Revolutionary Army already gathered the commanders and left for some other location before Baltigos destruction. ![]() ![]() Adding up that wind is the crucial factor in Kaidos defeat on Wano and the Revolutionary Army leaving their HQ with all its commanders, this might be a hint that those weapons really were supplied from Wano and Dragon wants to put an end to that whole affair. As a sidenote on the thought of Blackbeard: Might Teach possibly pursue the Revolutionaries towards Wano, later aquiring Kaidos DF (strongest Logia, strongest Paramecia, strongest Zoan)? |

Enel |
Tall monk? Lightning? There is no doubt that it is Enel, who was based on the god Raijin. But what I'm still struggling with is finding a connection as to why Enel would have a reason to come to Wano and fight Kaido. |
