It seems quite reasonable to think that the bird cage is something that had to be prepared over a long period of time - and thus wouldn't be usable anywhere other than Dressrosa unless DD had just as much prep time. It stretches things a bit in terms of what we've seen out of other fruits, but it isn't completely unbelievable. Given that DD has an 'awakened' fruit that most other characters haven't had until now (or it hasn't been mentioned - inb4 all Admirals retconned to having awakened fruits), I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for awhile based on lack of knowledge + Oda being Oda. Almost certain to have a reasoning behind this that's relatively consistent within the OP world, at least based on how situations in the past have unfolded. Logia users looked like nigh-untouchable walking divinities for how long? Now they're just another fruit ability and the strong fighters know how to deal with them (fruit specific strategies aside). And it really does seem like it's just gonna be Zoro + Franky + whoever else slowing the cage enough for Luffy to have time to put down DD. Should have a few more surprises to go, though. Like CP0. And uh... Fujitora? Certainly not Sanji. He's already been written out of the series at this point, heh. Not sure how many of those will happen before DD is down for the count, though. | ||

I feel like it would have been better if armament haki remained as a way to touch logias and create armor. Oda took it too far in making everyone's limbs turn into cast iron, IMO. Now it's like the mandatory "super saiyan" transformation that every character has to have except instead of blond hair and a gold aura it's black limbs/torso. It's too invasive to be the "glue that holds combat together." | ||

Like, he just needed some way to represent that it was being used. | ||

Remember the Corazon backstory where DD used it to prevent Corazon from fleeing the island thinking he had the DF. This is all the prep he did for bird cage, shoot some string from his hand. No saving haki no double bundling string. http://mangapark.me/manga/one-piece/s3/c766/16 I'd forgotten about that. No area specific prep needed, I guess. Theoretically there could be an internal prep time (aka, cooldown between uses) but that just seems like trying to cling to a limitation idea too much. Time will tell if it eventually makes sense and feels consistent or not. I will say that I don't particularly think it's the string fruit being ridiculously overpowered and instead is just DD being strong and using the fruit's abilities effectively. A similar level of ability could happen with other fruits, with the right user. As for haki and combat, it may be all but a requirement for high level fights at this point (even if some characters find ways to make things work without it), but it doesn't completely negate all previous (devil fruit) abilities and turn the fights into nothing more than haki vs haki. Armament vs armament kinda pushes that borderline (stronger armament haki breaks through the weaker one), which is why Luffy being able to combine his rubber ability to ignore blunt attacks while also using armament was significant (and seemed to be something DD wasn't expecting to happen). I seem to remember Akainu saying something that struck me as being fairly similar, about the offensive power of his particular devil fruit. Basically, haki is turning out to be an extra layer of combat, rather than simplifying everything by just completely overwriting and autowinning against non haki abilities. | ||
