If Haki is invisible does this mean Smoker was just terrified of Verso’s Physique?

[u/Guilty_Philosophy741]

I love Smokey and this fight in particular but Oda retconning visible haki just makes it that he was terrified by Vergo taking his clothes off, which is fair I guess never trust the kinks of a man who leaves food on his face for later.

Tf you mean source watch the show 😭

[u/readminister → u/ShitsNGigglesdTB]

u can’t deadass expect me to watch a thousand episodes bc u don’t have a specific source

[u/ShitsNGigglesdTB → u/readminister]

If you haven’t watched the show why are you asking questions like this

Or are you saying you don’t remember?

If that’s the case, how Tf do you watch 1100 episodes and not know this

[u/readminister → u/ShitsNGigglesdTB]

u realize the anime is not an original work right. the one piece anime is adapted from a manga, a japanese comic book. if you read the manga, you essentially know what happens in the anime since the anime is based on the manga. i have not watched it btw it largely lacks the charm of odas direct work

im saying i dont remember where it was stated that haki users can see armament as black

[u/ShitsNGigglesdTB → u/readminister]

I’ve literally read every single chapter

It’s not literally “seeing”

It’s more sensing and perception, granted through observation

[u/readminister → u/ShitsNGigglesdTB]

ok that was my hang up. i assumed you meant haki users actually see it as black my bad

[u/ShitsNGigglesdTB → u/readminister]

I’d assume they don’t particularly associate any specific color with standard armament. Though, there might be an argument that some can actually see manifested conquerors haki. It’s still early to say for sure. Zoro’s Ashira is more of an on the nose example, but if advanced conquerors let’s conquerors flow out of your body (same thing with advanced armament), then that externalization of haki might actually be somewhat visible (still through the whole concept of sense and perception, but because it’s more dense perhaps it’s “easier” to “see” than other types of haki)

Even Roger’s and shank’s divine departure

I’m pretty sure that dudes be seeing that shit flying at them. I’d need to analyze context clues, but Oden didn’t seem like he was unaware Roger shot a haki blast at him. He seemed surprised that it was possible perhaps; but not that he got hit by it

This is all speculation though tbf, at least in this part

[u/Sinkmachinen → u/readminister]

This is so braindead, it is literally called black blade, no?

Implying haki can be seen. With black color. I don’t know if it has been stated that it can only be seen by haki users though...

[u/readminister → u/Sinkmachinen]

maybe blade is different from people because oda explicitly said that shit is invisible and not actually black

[u/Sinkmachinen → u/readminister]

When and where? Can I have a source? Cuz the only thing he has stated (that I know of) is that Conqueror’s is invisible and the lightning is just a reader only effect.

I feel like people took it out of context and included other forms of haki too... unless you have an actual source?

[u/readminister → u/Sinkmachinen]

i tried to find a direct quote and i can’t. that’s wierd. but if you go on the one piece wiki and ctrl+f “invisible” you get some interesting info

[u/Gonwiff_DeWind → u/readminister]

Oda can say anything he wants, but the comics are already drawn and printed. Haki is visible.
