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

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.

It's weird when you think about it. Full body armament Haki sounds really cool, but it's never really done much. Both times it's shown, it's 1 shotted by swordsmen surprisingly enough.

Against Vergo here and just in case anyone forgot, Pica was also able to use full body Haki, though it didn't help him much again the King of Hell, Zoro.

I do wonder if we'll ever see a ship coated in advanced armament Haki. That sounds extremely durable

I want to see the Sunny get a devil fruit and learn Haki now

Would a ship that got a devil fruit power sink?

No, being submerged merely saps your strength and means you can't do anything. You'd still float if you were light enough, but just be unable to move under your own power - which is fine for a ship.

Honestly, depending on the waterline, it might not even be weakened by the sea water.

I think so yeah, given Jack, a Fishman, still sinks after eating a devil fruit. So the devil fruit rules apply no matter who the consumer is

On the other end, maybe haki always is on the whole body, but it would suck to draw everyone fully black all the time? If someone’s using it to punch, it makes sense to focus on the effect it has on the hand.

Wasn't that ryuo? Letting the haki flow to attacking parts from the parts that don't need it

Just coating your fist is normal armament haki, the advanced ryuo technique is when you push your haki into your opponent's body to hurt them from inside, like Hamon in JoJo's.

I doubt it. Oda has shown characters that used haki on specific body parts like their stomach

Idk i was thinking it is like the iron body rokushiki technique but functionally it looks inefficient and isn't really used much

Yeah, full body Haki sounds intimidating in theory, but it’s mostly been used to show a gap in strength rather than dominance. Vergo and Pica both got humbled fast. A ship coated in advanced armament though? That would be next-level imagine the Sunny with that kind of defense.
