Bruh, do you want me to SHOW you the panel of Dawn Rocket?
There is no haki anywhere in the panel. That’s dishonesty, that’s just called believing my eyes 😂
Luffy was using hakiless hits on Kaido too then, cause his hand wasn't black and there were lightnings missing.
The most obvious and reasonable assumption is that they are using haki all the time, and lightning is shown when Oda wants to especially highlight the haki usage, instead of assuming they are fighting literally turning off the haki.
But ultimately, we can't conclude shit cause Oda is way too inconsistent with haki.
Say what you want, but I
know that even you don't really think it was hakiless attacks and
lying for agendas. Keep coping cause deep down you too know Kizaru stocks are down here.
The fact that nobody in the marine is reacting at all to Kizaru's state should be obvious. Even Saturn just tells him that he's slower than usual. Nobody on his camp think he's anywhere near done lol
Dude he can't move for at least a few minutes, Kizaru is done at least as far as this battle is concerned.
And it took one clean hit to do it.
