It’s starting make sense now honestly… the fact that half the strawhats don’t have haki means that the Blackbeard pirates have to get these lame fruits so they can be defeated… The fruits have to be lame enough that the strawhats who don’t have haki can win
And the fact that only two strawhats have advanced haki means even the top commanders of Blackbeard’s crew have to have lame fruits to be defeated
Sucks that Shiryu will be fighting AdvCoC and AdvCoA Zoro and his trump card will be how easily he can get a sneak attack on Zoro… No haki, Lame fruit, Bum ass
