Powers & Abilities Will we ever see a villain get a haki bloom?

[Krusher1357]

About Zoro imo that is not unlocking it, Zoro used the same version of Ashura he used pre time skip it was just that this time there was a witness (Kaido) who knew it was coc so we as readers get the info too. Coby could work, I agree. Croco was retconed to be relevant (he jumped from Alabasta Luffy lvl to one of the top dogs in Marineford while being chained in prison, that power up made no sense at all)(anyway he should have had haki from befofe if he confronted WB). The others could have get some boost after their fight but the big jump was in the 2y time skip. And anyway nobody cones even remotely close to Luffy learning FS midfight, adv coa in a week more or less and adv coc again midfight.

Crocos boost actually makes sense though. He got lazy. Tbh it also looks like haki proficiency might drop the longer its unused (hyogoro knew what he was doing, but he seemed unimpressed with his ability to produce/teach) Fresh headcanon tho so do with it what ya will

Edit: its also likely croco was an awakened df user, id be fucking disappointed if he wasnt some what proficient with haki at some point

Akainu MIGHT be the only one who power up somehow

current Yamato can use lighting CoC it's wired as fuck if Akainu failed to perform it

 

[Fn Lucci]

Akainu was so strong that he could have ended One Piece in a year. What's out there making him stronger? As a Fleet Admiral he will fight less anyway.

And since when did Crocodile get any boost?

No fittingly to the fraud‘s disgustingly bad „storytelling“

Tbh.

Isn't Crocodile one? His power level got retconned and he should be more relevant when the final war happens or shit.

If you are talking about Yonko/Admirals. I doubt. I think they reached their respective peaks.

Went from getting ass fucked by water boy luffy.. yet slices through fucking magma? Yeah thats a boost

He didn't get fucked by Water Luffy, he won lol. Won after winning easily the first time. Bloody Luffy beat him, but only because Robin gave him a poison antidote to even survive.

That has literally nothing to do with his le spada being able to cut which... did zero damage to Akainu. This was a Crocodile who was outmatched by a Haki user like Jozu and able to now be effectively countered by a Water Luffy who also had Gear Second, btw. I don't know how people ignore context and just see power level.

Its not about powet level. Crocodile just went back to how he should've been (the cunt fought whitebeard and didnt just fucking die) its a jump from what he showed alabasta, but not what his peak was (which im hoping he is entering again bc he aint being a lil bitch)

If we do it’ll be Blackbeard.

 

[mugiwalaw]

Hes an Antagonist hes no Different than Fujitora.

lmao since when antagonist is admiring his enemy and blushing everytime he heard his enemy name? he's a tritagonist.

 

[Mohammad211]

it's some thing extremely rare for every one expect luffy (for luffy its a normal thing)
0.01 percent chance for characters other than luffy and 200 percent chance for luffy

It took Luffy receiving a beating for 11 hours straight to take his observation Haki to the next level.

It took Luffy non stop training for weeks to take his CoA Haki to the next level.

Luffy's CoC didn't "Bloom" he just took the principle of AdCoA and applied it to CoC.

How come Doflamingo, who has been a Veteran Pirate fighting against high caliber opponents for decades, didn't have his Haki bloom while fighting evenly with the 19 year old Kid, for roughly 20 minutes? Seriously?

 

[WesMidnight]

Luffy is a haki genius, most people's blooms won't be that extreme.

Most of Luffy's enemies are far older than him and have already presumably had their blooms growing up, but Blackbeard still has a good growth rate and will have had a haki bloom from his fights in Marineford.
Coby techinically a marine, not on Luffy's side, got a big haki bloom from marineford.
Akainu got a haki bloom and went from being shit on by Sickbeard, to being the fleet admiral, beating Aokiji, and becoming a serious yonko level threat.

They are grasping straws at this point.....they put brain in their fridge while making these threads.....

Sanji going from almost getting his ass kicked by Blueno to defeat a guy with almost triple doriki rate.

I guess at least Oda pulled an excuse now with haki instead which still doesn't change power creeps are bad bad.

Just wait till they find out that one's Haki equates to their level of willpower. Their minds are going to fucking explode when they get to that part of the story.

That's also an argument of mine. I'm pleased to hear sometimes we share an equal concept. 🤔

You just Described Hisoka lol

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Most villains are at their peak when it comes to haki while Luffy is still young so his haki can still grow.

No because “Haki Blooming” was just an asspull so Luffy could get a PU...

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

Lmao, nailed it.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

I feel the reasoning of this is “it takes a stronger will to overcome someone stronger than to continue being at the top.” And those at the top don’t remember what it takes to overcome someone stronger than themselves
