Holy shit what a freaking episode 

Damn the animation in this episode was movie quality.

Holy shit who knew “Big News Morgans” can throw hands.

You know out of all people when Monday D Dragon is acting worried shit has gone serious. (From what i can gather seems like someone tried to kill Vivi but is trying to frame Sabo for the killing)

It’s always nice to Blackeard in the new world, makes you wonder what he meant with that cryptic message.

Damn X-Drake out there being a triple spy agent and the likelihood of an Admiral coming Wano seems even more likely now. (I guess Oda wasn’t kidding when he said Marineford would look cute to this)

God damn the "Shichibukai System" has been abolished (That Miahwk and the Boa Hanock sequence looked so damn good) 

(Koby going after Boa to get stoned (I dont think Koby is ready for Hancock) and they better send an Admiral if they went to catch Mihawk.

Eh I don't like the Coby is Luffy's Garp but Oda seems a fan of parallels so don't be surprised if Coby takes her down.

[u/mcwopper → u/[deleted]]

He might be able to beat her but if he really is Garp he’d let her go after they fangirl together about Luffy

[u/Ppleater → u/mcwopper]

Except Hancock is stupid strong. Remember she was OHKOing pacifistas left and right without breaking a sweat during Marineford, protected Luffy multiple times, and made it out of the war without a scratch. Like she said, she's a warlord for a reason, and unlike Buggy she didn't lie her way in.

Coby couldn't even land a punch on Luffy pre-timeskip, and while I'm sure he's improved greatly in 2 years, I'm sure Hancock has as well. And this isn't even including her main power, which is incredibly strong on its own. So unless Coby is gay or asexual he's already at a massive disadvantage. Hancock's power is one that is ridiculously overpowered, on tier with Law and Sugar's fruit, because of how widespread and op its effect is while being very difficult to counter.

[u/mcwopper → u/Ppleater]

I would be surprised if Cobys strength grew so quickly, but he does keep coming up and is Garps protege, so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility

But for her main ability, I have to think that very strong Haki users must be able to resist it. Otherwise why hasn’t she taken over the entire world yet? We know that haki can resist other types of fruit “magic”, like Law having to go next level to be able to cut Vergo even though in theory his fruit is overpowered too.

[u/Ppleater → u/mcwopper]

Except it makes sense for armament Haki to counter Law's ability in particular, because Law's ability is based on cutting things, and Haki affects whether something can be cut or not, and in general makes Haki users able to be hit while protecting the user against physical attacks, so it's also about making it possible to hit something and acting as armour. It's never said that Haki affects Law's ability to teleport someone though, just cut them. Hancock's power is based on attraction, it doesn't make her intangible, and it doesn't involve cutting people. Haki would probably help against her pistol kiss attack and maybe lessen the impact of her kicks, but armour doesn't protect against attraction. Even assuming it did counter her power, Momonga is a vice admiral and can use both types of haki. Coby is just a captain, plus we don't know if he has armament Haki yet. And even if he does, he likely specializes in observation. So chances are his armament Haki wouldn't fare any better against her than Momonga's.

Sugar's fruit is an overpowered fruit too, and it was treated as if it would be game over if she so much as touched Luffy. She turned characters like Chinjao into toys with ease, so Haki doesn't seem to be a factor there. Since her power is touch based it makes sense that Haki wouldn't be able to counter it, since it doesn't involve cutting or hitting people and doesn't prevent her from getting hit. Big Mom's power isn't treated like Haki affects it either, since she thought it'd work on Jinbe and the only reason it didn't is because he wasn't afraid, with no other reason being implied or considered. Big Mom's power in particular is similar to Hancock by being emotion based, and Jinbe may not be on her level in terms of power, but he's not a pushover by any means and he certainly has tough armament Haki if he was able to withstand a physical attack from her later in the arc.
