Your argument doesn't make sense since this isn't a world like our own. Just cause you don't need special training doesn't mean EVERYTHING involves haki. There's no connection there whatsoever. you say that CP9s techs has nothing to do with Haki or DF wich means its mundane ability that anyone could emulate with enough muscle if its not mundane and its not a fruit then its Haki | ||

I think it is a point of ambiguity because right now Vergo changes color of the weapon when attacking, while in the clash between WB and Shanks, there were no color changes. I'm pretty sure if there weren't haki in those weapons, the weapons would be shattering or they're not all that strong. The kuja arrows also should change colors but they never did. In fact nobody ever changed colors at all. This shows that armament Haki doesn't have to change colors but they can. If haki doesn't have to change colors, then there's no good way to differentiate in the future what anyone is using. Santoumaru may just be very very good at iron skin since she is affiliated with the marines after all. Or if she was using haki, she didn't even need to concentrate much of it to deflect Luffy at that point. Or maybe it's just something that the artist is using now to show haki usage that wasn't there before. Or maybe I'm just over thinking a manga. Also someone mentioned earlier that law's natural counter is Buggy. If Law can cut himself, law would have buggy's powers plus the ability to teleport his body parts around wouldn't it? I mean even buggy's power has a finite range attached to it so there's no difference in that aspect. | ||

Plus his feet always anchors his body. It's harder with law since he has to manually cut himself rather than buggy who only splits, but instead of sneaking a knife around with his floating hands, maybe law can teleport a whole sword arm around. | ||

Glad to see you agree with me that it's not haki. | ||

Haki literally means "Ambition". People using "Haki" to attack and such are literally manifesting their ambition or will power to do whatever. Rokushiki is a martial art (and is clearly stated to be such). And in anime/mnaga, Martial Arts are very commonly tied to the idea of "Chi". | ||

In that sense, all hand to hand combat is Haki in some way. All sword fighting is Haki in some way. It's just a different school of fighting. There's no connection to imply it is Haki. You're arguing that because there's nothing to prove that its not Haki, then it could be Haki. | ||

Everyone on the one piece crew uses physical abilities without haki currently. Zoro cuts through everything with skill and technique, not sheer will, at least for now. Same with sanji, all of his stuff is skill and technique. I'm sure in the future things will change but haki is just to enhance offense/defense at the physical level. It doesn't magically give you any sort of skills, you have to master your physical ability first and then augment it later on. | ||

Haki is willpower/drive/vigor (according to WB when Shanks shows his haki). In terms of the black colouring vs not black colouring, I feel like that is more related to the author not having clearly established how to show that next level of strength when Luffy didn't have it, and now that he does, the black colouring will clearly show it. For Sanji and Zoro, it still isn't clear that either of them can use coa, but both can obviously use coo. However, Iva obviously can use coa (hellwink vs. akainu)... but nothing definitively shows Mihawk using coa, although its probably safe to say he can given his standing in the world. So, its not proven, but there's a good chance Sanji and Zoro have some coa knowledge/use. | ||

But from a logical standpoint hit feet are basically functioning like the center of "room" which create the end points/boundaries of how far he can theoretically split. This is quite similar to Law's. What I don't really know is whether Law's training allowed him to expand his room boundary further than it was originally. If it were such that training improves "room" range, I would argue that training would also allow Buggy to improve "room" range. Also, his limiting factor is his feet but as you can see how his body moves, it doesn't necessarily have to be tied down to a ghost silhouette of a human body moving. As such. You could argue that he could 1.5x his room range in battle by distance each of his feet to with one of them being at the near edge of the other. So Law would have difficulty to cut him. then you just need Buggy to train (which he will never do) to improve battle prowess and capability. I am only speaking of DF power against DF power here so it shouldn't really be tied down to the current character that owns it. And its just a theory which I find quite amusing. | ||

Although they perform similarly, that does not make them the same. Kind of like apples and oranges. They are both fruits, they give vitamins when you eat them but they are still different, an apple and an orange. But again, the master of the one piece universe is still Oda, so if he says it is the same, then we can rest the case. | ||

I wouldn't argue about art style but basically, why does no marine who use Haki acknowledge it? No one at the vice admiral level or higher use it as they have Haki. These guys come from different backgrounds but you've never seen them use any of the CP9 techniques which are still directly under government training.

Vergo is uber Haki man and used Rokushiki techniques im not saying you can use Rokoshiki techniques with absolutely no training, but part of the training to learn Rokoshiki techniques teachs you haki remember how Coby learnt CoO after the war? had no idea what it was or how he learned it it jsut came to him after the war, same with CoA if you fight enough and train enough eventually you just start unconciously using armament to become faster and stronger like i personally think that all of the superhuman feats (Zoro cutting steel, Sanjis fire kicks, Luffy punching through concrete like its nothing) is Haki but in order to catch a logia you need more control of Haki then just unconciously using it provides | ||

I'm pretty sure haki will allow physical contact with a logia, which is proof. No way that zoro had haki back in alabasta... If Tashigi fought Akainu, I am sure that no matter how weak her haki is, the tangible contact will be there, but let us say Sanji and his pre timeskip diable jamble wouldn't even do tangible damage versus any logia. And I do not think Rokushiki = haki, because despite vice admirals using it during the war, I doubt wolf guy and kaku had haki, but maybe Lucci had haki since he was reputed of such a high level of power (I thought he might have been vice admiral level, or a little lower, during the w7 arc). | ||

And I am sure it is common sense that Luffy would have been owned if not for his lucky immunity and perfect counter to Enel because there is no way anyone in the crew had haki to fight Enel. The only guy to damaged Enel was Wiper with the Kairoseki and the impact dial. forgot about Croc guess the super strength is just standard shonen super strength | ||

But whatever, I find trying to argue over One Piece dumb, because in a few years Oda sensei will eventually explain it all, hopefully : P I heard he has the plot all planned out, so we are in good shape for what is in store for the readers. | ||
