I think Kid will want to get in his punches even if he doesn't work with Luffy. He is the kind of person who holds a grudge, and like Luffy he seems to value his crewmembers although not exactly in the same manner. I agree on Cracker, he didn't have much resilience to pain and he was foolishly overconfident. He got angry when he couldn't defeat Luffy easily and that led to his defeat. Katakuri stated that it had been years since he had been struck so his pain tolerance is probably lower then someone who is constantly hurt, but he was a much better fighter then Cracker. He even commented that he understands how Luffy defeated Cracker with the skills he has. Between his resilience, his haki, his awakened abilities and everything else, Katakuri was one of the strongest enemies Luffy has ever faced. There is good reason why he is considered the most dangerous person in the Whole Cake arc outside of his mother. There are many measurements of strength, being able to take a lot of damage is but one of them. That having been said, even if Luffy is able to break through Kaido's scales and hurt him, he is still a Yonko. Katakuri and Cracker took a lot of work to defeat, especially in the latter case. Kaido will not fall easily and I expect this arc to get a lot more complicated before the actors take their bows and make their exit for this play.
