Questions & Mysteries Is advanced CoC really only no touching?

Internal Destruction CoA is a touching attack it either flows in AdCoC or in someone's body.. CoA emission is the defensive not touching attack which can't flow in things..
Correct. And when ID-COA gets amped with CoC(as Luffy and BM demonstrated) it becomes so potent that it hits can be seen without touching the opponent .
 
Let me ask, what would happen if Luffy used CoA and made a barrier… And then Added CoC to it and then punched someone with CoA barrier mixed with CoC

what’s the difference between that and AdvCoC?

Good point one is defensive the other offensive.. They say the best defense is offense.. But how does that apply when you mix an offensive capability with a defensive capability?.. At this point in the story, i'd say you can not use CoA Emission when you're attacking or punching..

Like i said, if there was ID CoA in the mix it would have been bigger, not as large as Garp or Luffy's Bajrang gun but still..


AdCoC + Internal Destruction is as blowing a balloon.. Where as AdCoC is pushing on a small pillow or cushion.. Do you see the difference?..

No no, we literally see in Hyogoro’s explanation that actually Barriers are used for attacking as well… Hyogoro literally says so… even in the little diagram that’s show we see the barrier hitting the block and cracking it

so if someone does a barrier… meaning they make extended area of effect that can damage things… And then they add CoC to it

wouldn’t this look like your supposed “No touching”?

lets take it further… Someone make a barrier, then uses Internal destruction along the barrier and then uses CoC on it… What does that look like?

you for some reason believe there is a difference between Advanced CoC and CoA with CoC in it… when there doesn’t seem to be

mainly because almost even AdvCoC user can also use AdvCoA and they intentionally mix them together at random arbitrary times

the fact that you are saying Kaido used AdvCoC on just base Luffy and then proceeded to fight and kill Luffy with “CoA with CoC techniques” yet you claim AdvCoC is stronger than the latter… but Kaido never used it outside of his one clash with base Luffy

it fucking doesn’t make any sense… There is no difference between AdvCoC and “CoA with CoC”. There is especially no difference in their power levels since multiple characters just arbitrarily do whatever and one attack looks stronger than another attack arbitrarily unless Oda specifies one is stronger than the other

Damn it saddens me that you disagree.. l thought i was making a breakthrough with someone.. At least you took the time to see my point of view thank you.. I can refer you to another post of mine..
We can say we are close to the end but until we there for real it's not really the end game.. lt's putting time constraints when we actually
don't know..

You know Luffy is a special case, he's the main character who has to become a Haki Master and go through all the step for him to reach the top of the verse and beyond.. l'd argue Zoro and Sanji don't need to become Haki Masters, they need to find their Haki Niche.. Actually it's what Haki Swordsmanship is all about a specific Haki Niche..


Which Sanji will obviously be CoO related or CoC based CoO application.. Zoro will be CoA based CoC application which are the Black Blades.. And the more i've been talking about it the more apparent it's getting..

The thing with AdCoC is it is not a CoA based CoC application, it's a CoC based CoA application.. l hear you screaming and every Zoro fans - WHAT THE HELL lS THE DlFFERENCE! - .. Well that's where the Black Blades come in which are mostly going to be a CoA based CoC application and the best way i can picture it right now is CoC lnfusion or CoC Hardening on the Blade.. That's the Haki Path Divergence for Swordsmen aiming at the Pinnacle of Swordsmanship..


By the way you commenting helped me reach another level of understanding, thank you..

l hope everyone who reads this gets a nugget out of it..


Also in that same line of thought, Observation Killer would be a CoO based CoC application..

You might be onto something here with the CoA based CoC application. However "advCoC" as the community calls it, is the act of imbuing CoC into one's attacks.

And Kaidou is factually doing this when he makes contact with Luffy numerous times. Therefore, whatever Kaidou referenced in chapter 1010, can be done with contact. It is the same thing Zoro, Yamato, were doing. This bit is not up for debate.

Now if you're saying there is a version 2 of it (just like there are different versions to CoA and CoO) this is possible, and it's possible you are arguing semantics.

No you made that up. Luffy knew his ID was too shallow so he amp his ID with CoC[1>2>3>4] The actual context can't be any more clear

AdCoC + Internal Destruction is as blowing a balloon.. Where as AdCoC is pushing on a small pillow or cushion.. Do you see the difference?..
ACoC is the ability to apply your CoC into your attacks. That's how we use that terminology. Your understanding is way out of bounce to common usage of the word. You literally made up your own understanding that only you can perceive it.
 
Infusing conquerors with your armament is an advanced application of it but calling all of it all acoc just makes it confusing in arguments

Like yamato and luffy both can infuse their attacks with it but luffy is able to do stuff yamato can't because his armament is more advanced armament. Yamato not having barrier or penetration armament

Zoro just like with his armament infuses it with his slashes. With conquerors he can infuse both


They can all infuse their attacks with it but its obviously not all all the same level
 
Firstly, I'll say Haki is incredibly inconsistent and a terribly explained power so these are our attempts at interpreting Oda's awful writing. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way: ACoC is not just no-touching. ACoC is an amplifier that can either touch or not touch, it depends on whether the user has barrier haki and wants to apply their CoC to it. ACoC can also act as a steroid to barriers - take a CoA barrier and add CoC, now that barrier grows even larger because you added more Haki to it.

ACoC users can 'not-touch' with both level 2 and level 3 CoA. E.g - Zoro can create barriers if he wants to but that's counter-productive for a swordsman whose goal is to cut you. Shanks' Kamusari's blunt force effect leads me to believe he used a CoA barrier with it.

Furthermore, you can also use level 3 CoA + ACoC and still touch. E.g - Kaido confirmed G5 Luffy is using CoA + ACoC yet Luffy isn't creating any barriers (I don't see why Luffy wouldn't be using ID CoA here). Luffy then decides to create a barrier for Bajrang Gun.

Kaido and Yamato don't have level 3 CoA, that's why Yamato couldn't break her chains. But they could apply ACoC to their barrier haki if they wanted. Through Law, Oda likened Luffy to Rogerbeard so the confirmed users of level 3 CoA thus far are Roger, Luffy, Whitebeard, Big Mom and Rayleigh. Garp and Shanks are likely users too.

What Garp did with Galaxy Fist is make a huge CoC-imbued barrier. So it could be but may not necessarily be level 3 CoA. It could be level 2 CoA with a shit ton of CoC, who knows. What Zoro did vs King is apply CoC to his already CoA coated swords - this injection created an instantaneous barrier that pushed King back. Zoro is the perfect example of characters who can create barriers but choose not to.

Kaido never made a significant barrier without clashing with Luffy which leads me to believe he doesn't bother 99% of the time. Hell, he might've just been clashing with Luffy's barrier, making it look like there were two barriers for some of them. So without the visual indication nor indication from other characters, I can't claim Kaido is an ID CoA user. He had enough chances to prove as much.

Point is, this whole touching/no-touching thing is largely insignificant and not something to look so hard into. If a character is using level 3 CoA and we need to know, Oda will make it clear somehow. All that's important is the sum total of your AP. A barrier-less ACoC attack can be levels above an ID CoA barrier + ACoC attack, it just depends on the sum total of Haki + strength you put into the attack. See Luffy's base ACoC punches vs Paradise Totsuka.

Attacking as repelling the attack that was thrown at them.. It still a defense mode..
You most likely can not use CoA emission with AdCoC because one is Defensive the other is Offensive ability..
It's as using hardening on your fist while using AdCoC not touching.. It's pointless..

AdCoc + ID CoA Looks like this..



I never said Kaido used CoA based CoC attacks from his club.. But if he did one it's the Vajra Arrow..

You might be onto something here with the CoA based CoC application. However "advCoC" as the community calls it, is the act of imbuing CoC into one's attacks.

If AdCoC is imbuing as Hardening on a Sword then the community is incorrect..




No you made that up. Luffy knew his ID was too shallow so he amp his ID with CoC[1>2>3>4] The actual context can't be any more clear
Why would Luffy use Gear 2 + Gear 3 the first time he used Gear 2 against Blueno.. That's just not how he rolls
AdCoC + ID CoA looks like a Blown Balloon, AdCoC looks like a Pushed Cushion.. Big Difference..

ACoC is the ability to apply your CoC into your attacks. That's how we use that terminology. Your understanding is way out of bounce to common usage of the word. You literally made up your own understanding that only you can perceive it.
AdCoC is not into an attack like lets say Hardening on a Sword..
 
It could be two things imo.

Either

1.Oden and Law do not have barrier haki, thus when they are witnessing such powerful attacks done from a distance they are in awe.
Even if Oden and Law have seen barrier haki, the application of CoC takes it to a whole other level as an offensive tool, so they can simply be shocked how an attack done without contact can be as effective as they are witnessing (this might be a bit of a reach though).

Tldr;

Their reactions are to highlight overall haki mastery/proficiency (application of high level CoA and high level CoC) vs simply advCoC or simply barrier haki.

Which does make (some) sense.

OR

2. AdvCoC is just a copy of CoA where it has levels/versions to it and non contact is the lvl 2 version of CoC regardless of any CoA application.


My issue with number 2 is the emphasis Luffy puts on learning non contact from hyou in prison. Which is a CoA application.

The counter argument would be learning how CoA flow works helped Luffy apply the same logic to CoC, but that requires more assumptions (and it strips CoA of it's use completely, or uniqueness) so I don't subscribe to it.



Anyways thanks Oda 👍
:pepecopium:

Hyougoro taught Luffy barrier haki, so its quite strange for a stronger samurai from Wano aka Oden not to know anything about it

Regarding Law's panel, Luffy just figured out how to coat CoC in that moment, but Oda, for some strange reason, immediately draws a panel where Law gets shockingly impressed by AdCoA?! 😂

Red Roc was ID CoA with Kaido's reaction being in shock as to how he could be damaged..
Law and Oden's reaction is strictly for AdCoC not touching..

Good point. So I think it just means the application of CoC with AdvCoA like I said.

Internal penetration on it's own is never drawn with a barrier IIRC. It's only when used with CoC do you see a barrier.

Kaidou does not do non contact. So if Kaidou was using advCoC, Law nor Oden would be in awe. So that point is moot anyway (actually Law himself witnessed Kaidou attacking multiple times, he was never in awe, since contact was made, only when Luffy someone who confirmed possesses highest level of advCoA uses advCoC do you get that result).

But meme did that. So she has better haki than kaido?

Ain't Internal Penetration's base stage for Swordsmen to simply imbue your Swords in Base CoA like Zoro did in Alabasta?..

So AdCoA is what impressed Law in that chapter? Bozo, why cant you read a simple story? The name of the chapter is color of the supreme king

Law and Oden's reaction is strictly for AdCoC not touching..
Yeah, I agree. On the other hand, AdCoC can touch too

Yea that's what's puzzling given Big Mom's history with haki. But It doesn't necessarily mean stronger haki though. It's an advanced application.

Either way we know for a fact Kaidou does not use it, whether it's by choice or because he can't is debatable.
