We all know Genghis Khan, the famous Mongolian leader, whose deeds are described in every history book. However, few know that this legend had a great-grandson named Kaidu Khan. As the name suggests, it may have been he who inspired Kaido of ONE PIECE and beyond. here you are who were Kaidu Khan and his daughter Khutulun.
It was widely believed that Genghis Khan had black hair and a thin but long mustache, an aspect that became a habit among many warriors. However, the emperor of ONE PIECE is from the great-grandson of Genghis Khan. inspired, the leader Kaidu Khan, with whom he also shares part of the name. Lived in the time of Marco Polo, who was also visiting his kingdom, Kaidu Khan was part of the Yuan Dynasty and was the administrator of western China in the 13th century.
Lived between 1230 and 1301, he rebelled against his cousin Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, and was also appointed Khan of some Mongolian clans with whom he waged wars for ten years. As is so often the case with the Mongol rulers, Kaidu Khan had numerous descendants, up to fourteen children. but the favorite was Khutulun, a woman who lived between 1260 and 1306 and grew up enjoying the arts of a man, that is, fighting and hunting. Strong, capable, and intelligent, she was one of her father’s leaders and also met Marco Polo, who described her as an indomitable warrior.
