With the whole Luffy COO comments, while he should realistically be able to see it coming, what use does that do if it’s not an attack you can dodge?
It seems like as long as you’re within Apoo’s sound range, he can immediately hit you with an attack. It’s not a projectile or anything that travels a specific path for you to see and dodge, so unless you know how his DF works, being able to predict the attack isn’t really helpful.
