Questions & Mysteries Did Marco look good against top tiers because none of them tried to use haki

It’s not headcanon to say that elemental attacks can’t be coated with Haki. It’s an observation based on canonical evidence. In the manga, we’ve never seen anyone coat an elemental attack with Haki, even though many characters like Akainu, Enel, Sabo, and Marco could have. Oda consistently shows Haki being applied to physical attacks or weapons, not intangibles.
So while it’s technically possible that Oda could reveal it in the future, the current canon supports that it can’t be done since there’s zero instance or implication of it happening. That’s not headcanon. That’s basing conclusions on what’s actually shown in the story.

Most logia showing are pre-timeskip where haki was completely invisible. Even post-timeskip, haki is still invisible a large amount of the time.
Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, it is neither said nor shown anywhere that haki cannot be applied to elemental attacks, so it remains your headcanon that they cannot be.

True, Haki wasn’t visible pretimeskip, but that doesn’t change how it functions. Even when Haki was invisible, Oda still showed its effects clearly such as physical blows landing on Logias, weapons being coated, or Haki clashes creating force. There has never been any indication that a purely elemental attack has ever interacted with Haki the way physical attacks do.
Oda did not show haki coating in Kizaru lasers, Big Mom Prometheus, Kaido Boro Breath after TS.
“Absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence” only applies when there’s a reasonable expectation it could exist unseen. But in this case, there have been dozens of opportunities for elemental users to use Haki offensively Akainu, Enel, Kizaru, Sabo, Marco, etc. and none have ever demonstrated it. That’s not just absence of evidence; it’s a consistent pattern across hundreds of chapters.
So until Oda shows elemental Haki coating, saying “it can be done” remains speculative. Saying “it hasn’t been shown and there’s no indication of it” isn’t headcanon it’s sticking to what the manga actually establishes.

It's not an Ai I'm just being logical when Oda never shows elemental attack can be coated with haki. I don't need to prove something that doesn't exist.
There’s zero example in the manga of anyone coating an elemental attack with haki, even though plenty of characters could have. You’re the one assuming something exists without evidence. I’m just going off what’s actually there.

We’ve seen plenty of fights with logia and elemental users since haki was introduced, and not once has oda shown or hinted at elemental haki coating. When something could have easily been shown dozens of times but never is, it’s reasonable to assume it doesn’t exist in the story. Saying it can be done without any proof is speculation. Saying it hasn’t been shown is just sticking to what’s actually in the manga.

You're a funny guy, I'll grant you that
