Looks like law flat out says it but they been implying parts of haki sense the begging of the new world.

Well, maybe its because he doesn't want to hurt her because she is a woman?? I think it is being suggested by how the battle is gong as he is not pointing the sharp end of the sword against Monet. Has Zoro ever been shown to fight or hurt a woman in any of the arcs? I can't recall. I think he mentioned something about it when he was training in the island of Mifune with that ghost girl which he didn't hurt.
I maybe wrong in what I recall though.
tashigi he disarms her without harming her when they meet in lougetown but it had more to do with resembling kuina then her being a woman. Outside of that i can't remember a time he fought a woman.

I like this chapter / like this arc a lot.
- the caesar/kids storyline with the candy is great.
- the harpy woman is a really good villain helper, didn't expect that. I still think she will actually turn out good like Nami and Robin in the end, but so far she makes a cool opponent.
- "Pull out those lower lips and make fun of him" the Zoro/Sanji part is legitimately funny
- glad to see Tashigi use Haki
- Robin is really sexy in that skirt oh my

TBH I think Zoro is just trying to get some practice against a Logia in. Monet says herself she didn't think she could take him, so he obviously CAN beat her, its just a matter of why he isn't trying to.
|
I like how Chopper's hat and horns fly off when he's scared.
|
I don't think Zorro could beat Monet on his own. We just saw how she can abuse her logia powers to just flee from him and appear where she wants to.
Just because you can use Haki doesn't mean you can beat Logia users. Zorro has no experience how to face such kind of opponents.
And Zorro is not the type of fighter to be nice to women. He doesn't care what gender his opponent is.
Remember we are only halfway through One Piece. Zorro and the rest of the crew still has much to learn.
|
Yeah he's not Sanji. Out of the top of my head, in Whiskey Peak he fights women including Miss Monday and Miss Valentine though he just casually knocks Miss Catherine unconscious. However I also got the feeling he's only fighting Monet defensively.
|
My theory is this: Zorro can sense that Monet's heart is sincere and is just being manipulated by Ceasar, thus he doesn't hurt her. How? Maybe it's his observation haki. Remember after the timeskip his obs haki had been super godly. (managing to know places and shit all of a sudden)

At least we are sure this is a logia, now.
And I really like Monet, she's a nice villain with a brain. And yeah, in the past, Zoro had no trouble fighting against women, he must have another reason. I think.
|
Hmm, I still can't pick Monet. I wonder if perhaps she's going to play out both sides here and triple agent the crap out of it all come the end. She seems pretty darned intelligent, so I basically see everything she does as an important part of something....

I think Zoro can't use armament Haki or at least do it properly. He is a better swordsman than Tashigi but only she can harm Monet. This will uncomfortably force Zoro to work with her to defeat Monet in which he may learn how to use Haki properly during the fight in order to save Tashigi and defeat Monet.
We still don't know why Luffy said Zoro and Sanji can use Haki. Sanji can use observation haki but hasn't been shown using armament and Zoro hasn't been shown using any Haki. Although checking the wiki it seems like Zoro might have observation Haki since he sensed Caribou in the palace when he was trying to kidnap the princess.

zoro know exactly what Monet was ganna do and intercepted monet when she tried to stop nami and robin. That's pretty good evidence of observation hakki. Both Nami and Robin didn't know Monet was ganna pop out from the ground yet zoro knew.

It would make sense that a guy named Mihawk would have better observational haki over armement. So he probably told Zoro more about it.
|
An aside but does anyone else think Monet resembles Nami enough to be her sister or an older version of Nami?
About Mihawk it can be assumed by Mihawk's number 1 swordsman status he does know armament Haki otherwise he would be defenseless vs Logia so I have no idea why Zoro would not be taught it. I wish Oda went more into the 2 year time skip to explain things like Zoro's training/eye and Robin's involvement with Dragon.

Robin dragon will DEFINENTLY be explained when Dragon actually steps up as a character (instead of just being a guy people talk about)
Zoro 100% has armament Haki, why hes not attacking Monet is hard to say maybe Law told him something or Mihawk trained him to be a gentleman
anyone who can chop a ship in half like Zoro did has to know Haki
