Sooo I read the dialogue and there's no indication Harald turned off his COC barrier at the end... This was a headcanon by Scotch. It's like saying Xebec turned off his COC barrier for Roger & Garp to beat him because he was crying while standing still in the last part of the fight.
Yeah but then there is also no indication that Harald even has a CoC barrier to begin with
we knows Rocks had a CoC barrier because Garp tells us he does
does anyone mention Harald having a CoC barrier?
it seems the big deal in this entire situation is that Harald was actually fighting Gaban and Shanks and that’s why they couldn’t just kill him. Not really because of CoC barriers
and when Loki showed up Harald stopped himself from fighting so that Loki could get his free hits on him.
that’s it. It’s not about CoC barriers. It’s about Harald fighting back
