" haki surpasses all " - kaido
thats what the portrayal is , which includes devil fruits aswell which includes these ' hax ' .
luffy needed his awakening with acoc , like i said devil fruits arent useless but even in his awakening luffy was coating his attacks with acoc .
u are going against the obvious narrative here cause of agendas and bringing in ' meh hax ' which are a part of devil fruits .
acoc is portrayed above anything else used in onigashima .
