Im not a big fan of people trying the recontextualize Shanks losing an arm early i the story to anything related to haki and or IMU. Haki was not developed at that stage, it was more like your usual killing intent. Ha he used haki he wouldn't have lost an arm at all. But know since we know...
We saw Sanji using hardening, especially in Egg Head where he was wearing a shorts. But hes usually wearing black pants so we have no visual indication. Just people mentioning that hes using haki. Damn Sanji finally stepped up to Zorro. What a chapter.
Sanji not only needs to awaken his conquerors haki, he also needs to master it. To me it seems more like a Luffy vs Katakuri situation where it takes several chapters until he masters it. Also with Katakuri, once he is defeated there no longer is the threat of the nightmares, so I dont think...
I mean I understand why they rely on their immortality so much. Its crazy how fast they regenerate. We see it it the last panel where Sanji used Ifrit Jumble. Killingham regenerates in the same instant when Sanji is still in the atack motion. Also is this the first time where Sanji is not...
I concede. I don't usually associate a humble person with conquering the world but humility doesn't necessarily say anything about ambition. C.S Lewis once said: 'humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.'
But does he really need a weapon once he has...
I think humble is not the correct to describe Shanks. I mean he wants to find the One Piece and is willing to fight everything that is in his way (Kidd for example). That makes him a very ambitious person. At the same time he's a very kind person, especially to abused, weak and exploited people...
He's intentionally lowering the hardness of his armament haki because he is afraid to hurt her fist. It's not something he does unconsciously, apparently.
One thing is hearing it the other is experiencing it. Zorro is not the theory type. He needs to experience it first hand. Right now he tries stuff and sees what works well and also remembers some statements that make more sense to him now. He also saw that the hand is not regenerating so he...
That's just the consequence of them having regenerative powers and the paradox that it creates. Oda can show more graphic violence because they are immortal and regenerate but that makes it seem like they take more damage/ are weaker.
Its not like he doesn't know that he already using it. I mean he should know at least when he was told by Gaban. I think right now he tries to use it consciously like when he was fighting Mr 1. He's trying to figure it out.
Gaban is not reserved about Luffy but thinks he is not ready yet. He knows the significance of Nika and thinks that Luffy is essential for the fight against IMU but would rather let him escape so he could survive and eventually get stronger. And based on Luffys performance ao far that is quite a...
Remember what Reyleigh said. Haki resides in everyone. So everyone has the potential to use it consciously. The only exception is conquerors haki. That means anyone can learn armament and observation haki.
Seeing Gabans attack I have to say he becomes my favorite Gold Roger pirate. That means...
You forget that 77 is not that old in the OP world. She would be past her prime but could still play an important role and would still be strong. Reighleigh is 78 years old (so is Garp) in current timeline and blackbeard didn't want to test his strength.
