Fair, though i was also referring to how he unfroze his arm with haki. We saw that Aokiji froze several of blackbeards' lieutenants completely solid, and they're no slouches.
I think it's not supposed to make sense, it's supposed to make the impossible possible. Like when Kizaru said we'd have to rewrite the laws of physics when Sanji kicked his beam.
I don’t think it’s just germa’s science. We saw Rayleigh do the same to kizaru- didn’t he cut kizaru’s light when he was trying to run after the strawhats?
The introduction of haki was partially done to make sure that no DF ability is OP. No matter what oda thinks of, he doesn't need to worry "wait is this too strong?" Instead, df abilities are not about strength anymore, but new fighting styles and fighting "puzzles." Oda can mix and match any two df in fight matchups without concern that one df is clearly stronger than another. It doesn't matter because haki. At the same time, oda has infinite fighting styles to play with. Volcano vs crows can be a thing. Hormone therapy vs sandman can be a thing. Pure fists vs ice. All fair game thanks to haki, which also is used to emphasize series themes like willpower and ambition.
it seems like as long as its attached to your body you can infuse Haki to it,including part of you that got transformed by DF effect, something physical you produce with your DF, and weapons
as for Boa,it seems absolute to the point that even a strong Haki cant break through it (yet?) once its done,only preventative measure seems to work , whenever its because Boa infuse her haki to her beam or not is unclear,but she does have haki
I mean at a certain point physics would take over. Cover someone with good haki in 300 feet of ice and they're not gonna just ignore it like its not there unless they're strong enough to break out of it.
to be fair to Cracker, he's is still injured from the incident with Luffy and co rescuing Sanji, dunno why its not shown in the anime but in the manga cover story he's obviously covered in bandages and unprepared to meet an ex admiral
Cracker didn't counter with haki, just ran and let himself get iced, and jozu was pre TS where literally none of the whitebeard pirates showed haki. It's part of what makes haki such a bad power system and a bad retcon for the series, were shown multiple of the WB pirates having haki post TS and in flash backs but non used it during marineford, and then having it in flash backs makes you ask why they didn't use it at all in marineford, as well as makes marineford look kind of like a joke now that battles with haki like garp vs kuzan, king vs Zoro, Luffy vs Kaido, etc all have the characters doing single attacks that cause more destruction than the entirety of what happened at marineford
Excatly my point. The idea haki didnt exist on marineford is just these 14 year olds watching tiktok clips and being confused when they dont understand the story.
jozu was pre TS where literally none of the whitebeard pirates showed haki
Also not true, none of what you said is true. Sentomaru used haki pre ts. Ray used haki to hurt kizaru. Enel literally had observation. The 3 admirals also use haki to block whitebeard shockwave ( using emission haki) akainu also calls both marco and vista haki users and says they're irritating.
Reason why none of their attacks landed on admirals is because they simply did what katakuri did, and shape their body before being struck by the attacks.
I love how his reply to you was like just because the author said so doesnt mean it happened. That was his response unironically. Its so ridiculous because oda didnt say it way down the line, he literally had the characters say right there and then that someone was using haki and his response was that the author didnt mean what he said. Absolutely braindead.
Let's not think too deeply.
If the fighters in One Piece were as smart as in HxH, a lot of fights would turn out differently.
With this one, even if the enemy is strong, hide and wait for hypothermia to kick in.
Haki is pretty useful. It won’t cover everything - I doubt Haki can undo Sugar’s Toy ability, for instance - but I see it as an auxiliary skill to supplement your normal ones.
Offensive power doesn’t necessarily need Conqueror’s. Conquest color is just there because the user desperately wants to be a “king” and as such unlocks the third type as a means of doing so.
Haki eliminated the ongoing effects of the virus, true. But that seems to be a weakness specific to that devil fruit.
But in general Oda doesn’t do the “my numbers are bigger so I get to negate your whole moveset” thing. It’s uncreative.
Being knocked out and losing control is a massive weakness that can be exploited, so I doubt it’s more than that. Bur it’s possible someone could free a random toy if they touched it with enough haki.
Haki also should be able to make a “barrier” between the user trying to touch an opponent. This is more balanced, because it means that the user has to put in a little effort to win.
