Let’s see if the creator gives off any other info regarding Kaido’s son in One Piece Chapter 980.

this arc is sure going to take time – not just chapters but with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the arc will definitely take longer than the expected time to finish. But once it is over, we can expect Luffy to have at least a bounty of 4 to 5 Million Berries.

He is also ready to take action on their attack at him. Now, Orochi can sleep peacefully at night.
However, Orochi isn’t aware that the raid at Onigashima has begun already. The Easter, as well as the Southern troops, are being led by Kine’mon and Denjiro whereas the other scabbards will be coming with Law through the sea.
Even though not all beast pirates are aware of him being the spy, Kanjuro says that he is lost inside Onigashima as it’s his first time, making it hard for him to navigate.
Kanjuro still needs to deliver his report to Orochi, which he can’t because he’s lost.
