HOLY SHIT AS A KID FAN I'M SORRY FOR DOUBTING YOU ODA THIS IS INSANE PLANNING FOR HIS CHARACTERS SINCE ZOU LET ME EXPLAIN

Thread:
#ONEPIECE1079 I was confused ever since Oda gave Kid the Road Poneglyph rubbings from Big Mom and Kaido. I thought "what's the point? He doesn't have the Zou Poneglyph unlike Luffy and Law and you NEED all 4 otherwise the rubbings are useless. He will never reach Laughtale with them".

For the record, Law/Kid did NOT say they can only use their awakenings ONCE only. This is simply a mistranslation by Viz. In Japanese, Law says he's awakened but he's not used to using it in BATTLES. He says 体力の消耗が尋常じゃなく戦闘の命取りになる which translates to: In parts:
体力 (Stamina) の消耗 (Consumption/usage/exhaustion) が尋常じゃなく (is abnormal/is ridiculous/is extreme)

戦闘の (in battle/in a fight) 命取りになる (it could be fatal/it could cost you your life i.e. It is highly risky.)

To sum it up, they CAN use Awakening, but Oda
