Speculations Now That It’s Confirmed Gaban Is A COC User, Who Will Sanji Unlock COC Against?

[Thaidakar]

unless if u think Enma Bluetooth CoC to other zoro swords

Some actually fucking do.
Awesome feats miraculously become shit or fake when zoro gets them. We're used to it.

If he were to eat the nika fruit in the epilogue, hardcore luffy fans would call him df merchant

 

[Rootbeer]

Gaban is guaranteed CoC user.. But nothing here shows CoC use..

 

[ZenZu]

I don’t think oda is being ambiguous 😂 he just made a mistake for resembling CoA and CoC so now the readers can’t really tell the difference.

also I’m speaking about luffy commenting on CoC on CoC user like kaido, the elders etc

I know Oda is a complete hack, but this is pushing it too far. He has to know CoC coating looks visually identical to what previously were CoA streaks. So if he's actively drawing haki streaks emitting from an attack prior to landing, and then massive streaks after landing, he's either doing it with CoC in mind, or he is just keeping things ambiguous.

Just the case of plot induced endurance boost, there should be noticeable effects for that. Even barrier haki being used defensively is crystal clear here (bottom panel):

Spoiler

BM looked like she was using acoc to try and deflect Kidd’s railgun here, this is a more clear case of CoC used for defense:

Spoiler

Just look at how crazily Oda boosted Law endurance during Onigashima even though he didn't awaken any new haki. Took a hybrid Kaido ACOC thunder bagua then ate dozens of hardened barrage punches from a powered up Big Mom (a weaker and hakiless version had full zoan Queen play death in 2 hits) and was still standing afterward.
No way he was durable back PH/Dressrosa.
I never agreed that characters all become several times stronger each arc but Oda will shamelesly boost a character stats if needed.

I don't get how hard it is for some editor to go up to him ask him,if there is coa,fcoc usage and let an assistant change it on the volume version with some flow from hand action... 5 minute job....

 

[Rootbeer]

when they hinted Zoro COC the sword isn’t Enma unless if u think Enma Bluetooth CoC to other zoro swords

Exactly so, the Enma buff can be applied to other Swords..

I’m happy oda to prove me wrong on this 😂

Enma joke died after wano bro

Law never showed any endurance problems in Dressrosa. He was taking a tag team of an admiral and a fellow Warlord,plus another versus 1v1 versus the superior warlord. Even when the room was eating his life force he could go on after 981 and watched what transpired...

 

[Toby D. Dog]

unfortunately, the depiction of ACOC is inconsistent and black lightning is not conclusive. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[Rootbeer]

Enma joke died after wano bro

No joke, Enma is boosting Zoro's haki..

This is Zoro's limit without Enma..

Black Lightning barely getting out..

I think you're confused. I am saying Oda made a mistake in making CoA and CoC look identical at times visually, but now when he draws these scenes he obviously has to know how similar they can be. Which is why I think in Oda's mind he completely erased the CoA leak post CoC reveal. That's the only logical explanation other than him just trolling the fanbase on purpose, which is also very possible.

 

[Infitima]

This arc.

Sanji will protect the children out of his own priority and because Nami would want it (call back to Punk Hazard.) He'll hit a dead end against the HK and rely on Germa!Mode too much and start to change and either unlock ACoC to deal with that when he sees or hears what they want to do to the kids (call back to his own childhood as an experiment) or the others will return and Luffy and Nami ground him and he unlocks ACoC.

Of course I could be wrong. Oda likes to be unpredictable as fuck.

 

[HA001]

act 1 Luffy isn't the same character bozo, act 3 base Luffy ate like dozens of aCOC attacks from hybrid Koido on the rooftop

That was acoc luffy.
Pre acoc luffy was one shot on the roof too

 

[Dragon777]

Garp is the only who wasn't explicitely called out as having it iirc.

Aokiji doesn't have it, if he did it would have been put in his Vivre Card. Hell, Sengoku is confirmed and he's never used it on panel.

Vivrecards never, and I mean never, exclude something: they can confirm something if they talk about It.

Koby and Kuzan clearly have It, the rest Is only the usual cope related to everything admirals do.
The funny thing is that on one hand same people think VCs are gospel and can confirm something even by just not talking about It; on the other hand, the VCs cannot confirm Ryo's BB even when they actually draw It of that colour lol.

I don't think Oda ever intended for CoC to be a requisite of being top tier to begin with.

Gaban doesn't need it to be considered a bona fide top tier in his prime.

I think for non fruit user Is basically needed. If you don't have It, you can arrive at a certain level.

Time will tell.

I hope he has it.

Me too. Let's see.

 

[Hueconite]

Garp has an identical panel of acoc to luffys first usage. He's not in question.

When mars used coc at egghead he had the same type of lightning as gaban lol same for reyleigh against teach

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Who cares how many pages he had? The point is that what he showed has no proof of being ACoC.

We've seen non-ACoC users do exactly what Gaban did this chapter, we've never seen non-ACoC users do this

So basically, if it ain't that, then it isn't confirmed to be ACoC.

Lmao take this @SkySanji

Stop this nonsense @ZenZu , you know that was not CoC from Gaban

Kat is biggest example,he doesnt have acoc but same lightings when he slammed goofy

Not at all, you're overcomplicating this children's manga, if you see haki lightning in an attack after CoC coating was revealed, it is more than likely CoC.

 

[JoNdule]

Oda has truly ruined this manga with haki
Every week he got people debating if X used CoC or not
