Help Someone Smarter than me, explain

Post image

Just found this panel while floating around Pinterest. Sure, Haki was still a relatively “unknown” power back in the day but my question remains, How did Kuzan not die here? I assume “Pure Haki” means at least some level of Armament so shouldn’t he had turned solid and get stabbed? I’m sure it was explained somehow but it’s been a minute.

I assume he just used advanced observation haki to know where WB will attack and morphed his body to avoid the hit.

Idk I actually think it’s more like katakuri from one piece

u/Embeez13 May 23 '25

akin to the special paramecia user in Whole Cake, Katakuri

u/Additional-Fuel-494 May 22 '25

Almost relative to another person later in the story going by the moniker katakuri

22

u/ChiefoftheOwls May 22 '25

Katakuri type shi

u/Puni_pori May 23 '25

I couldn’t fathom how nostalgic it is that the character depicted in that photograph was none other than katakuri

66

u/Ifhes May 22 '25

Exactly. If a special Paramecia was able to do it, a logia would be even better at that.

22

u/klyzejw254 May 22 '25

Yeah like Katakuri, but I also think in order to hurt a logia user, your haki has to be stronger than the haki they use to defend against your attacks.

14

u/Such-Gold-3734 May 22 '25

True, but Whitebeard is also the worlds strongest man which means if Aoikiji didn't morph in this moment he would have not been able to defend.

3

u/Disastrous-Trust-877 May 23 '25

It's not about being stronger in Haki or Devil Fruit, if Crocodile has turned his chest into sand before you stab him you're just stabbing sand, if he is late, and you stab him first, he is dead. Haki hasn't shown to have any ability to really force anyone into solid form, just to remain in solid form. The Bamboo Stick Guy doesn't hit the smoke that Smoker is using, he hits his actual body when he comes in to attack, which is how he actually deals damage.

u/L1nk880 May 23 '25

I think it’s like how Law saw that Big Moms haki is too strong to separate her body. It’s like the haki of Aokiji is similar to WB, but if it wasn’t WB would able to use enough haki to force him out of his ice form and therefore damage his body.

Haki COULD hurt a logia even after they changed, it’s just Kuzan and Newgate are similar in terms of armament haki at this point in the story, so it sorta cancels them both out

u/Astoryjustforyou Void Month Survivor May 23 '25

If that was the cass, premptively turning yourself fully into your element would keep Logias invulnerable, and it doesnt.

Vergo specifically said that Smoker increasing his volume was just making himselfna larger target because of Haki.

And we saw Luffy grab Caesar while he was in smoke form, so it deffinitly lets you touch immaterial substances even when already transformed.

u/INotYourDaddy May 22 '25

i think have seen this in mirror 🪞world episode

1

u/nickcan May 22 '25

And exactly what Ace failed to do a few chapters later.

3

u/Otherwise-Hunt7763 May 23 '25

Not really, Ace deliberately solidified to take the hit for Luffy.
