Powers & Abilities “Haki Blooming” was one of, if not the biggest asspull of the series

[Lion of Olympus]

Notice how Zoro, Sanji, Kidd, Law, and etc never got a single “bloom”, or how none of Luffy’s or the straw hats’ opponents get Haki blooms?

That’s because it’s obvious “Haki blooming” was an asspull so that Oda could have an excuse for Luffy beating Katakuri and unlocking FS. If Oda followed his own Logic, Katakuri would’ve bloomed his Haki during the fight just like Luffy did lol.

 

[Zowo]

Sanji

sanji will never get one tho
oda went tehnology route with him it is what it is

 

[Alpha]

Only if your name is Luffy!
The secret to Haki bloom is pretty simple imo... Just yell," I will become the King of the Pirates" repeatedly untill it gets imprinted on to others mind and soul.
P.S; Shouting " I will definitely send him flying" helps too.
Catalyst: Get knocked out multiple times to speed up the "Haki Bloom" process

Bloomed in what way? Katakuri's Armament and observation was superior to Luffy and couldn't bloom under those conditions.
Sanji avoided Katakuri's attack during the wedding and Zoro acquired Advanced Conqueror's haki by pushing himself against Kaido.
What exactly is asspull about it?

 

[Zowo]

Zoro acquired Advanced Armament by pushing himself against Kaido.

What? Zoro didnt get that in kaido fight
All he got is coc

 

[Ask D question]

sanji will never get one tho
oda went tehnology route with him it is what it is

Not really, given how his powers are always about emotions, plus the raid suit is likely to get burned, you don't just give something confirmed to be completely fire proof to a fire user just for him to not exceed the expectations and not burn it

I noticed and corrected it.

Lowkey true.

If Zenkai boost applied to Zoro. King should be no match for Zoro after the roof where Zoro was near-death experience plus managed to scar Kaido.

Now what? He is fighting King "casually".

Not sure about Sanji. Oda is going the Franky route with him for now. Sanji has trash Haki affinity when it comes to CoA which is responsible for ap and etc.

Kidd and Law I have no idea tbh.

Buddy the raid suit will always be with him
His haki is mid that why oda gonna give him the exo shit and not armament haki boost
He will always rely on thenology

 

[bennbeckman]

Raid Suit is as big a joke as Sanji pulling a Luffy and becoming YC level out of nowhere from Dressrosa to Wano... guess Sanji also has power of plot plot no mi

Zoro did though, thats exactly what happened when he revealed COC against Kaido. When Zoro gets black blade for enma that will be haki bloom too

What does the Raid Suit have to do with my thread? Lol

He specializes in observation, he doesn't even need a good armement haki given how he has an elemental ability

Also oda gave him the raid suit, who he barely uses lol, he even low diffed a raid suit user

Sanji's power growth will fit his theme of emotion and passion

He's already commander level without it

The raid suit is pretty much as small and not so relevent boost, aside from the Invisibility, if he keeps it then it'll just be for stealth missions

Im not the only one mentioning Raid Suit in the thread so I simply continued the convo

"Small and not so relevant boost?
U mean increased speed
Durability boost
Invisiblity
Flight easier
Fire proof pyjama
"Small"

Yeah small, because it barely increases anything, like I said he already destroyed a raid suit user before, meaning the raid suit has barely any power to offer, given how it's power is nothing compared to sanji's own strength

Also why would he need something fire proof? Lol, it was never a problem before

It would have meant something if Zoro knew how it worked or that he has Conqueror's haki. Both of which he himself has denied.

 

[Formerly Seth]

He knows he has Conqueror's Haki trust me. His comments during FMI confirms he understands what this type of Haki is.

What he doesn't know is advCoC application. It's pretty much confirmed that Oden needed advCoC to put a scar on Kaido.

Zoro did the same but he didn't know it was a form of advCoC. That's why he was confused by Kaido's words.

tl;dr

He knows he has CoC

He doesn't know what the fuck advCoC means/is.

 

[Fujishiro]

sanji will never get one tho
oda went tehnology route with him it is what it is

He still has haki.

 

[Formerly Seth]

He still has haki.

Yes, but he is poor with using it.
