In terms of powerscaling and abilities I really wish Oda gets more technical with haki.
They all seem to be aCoC merchants primarily, hence he definitely should showcase what kind of a difference the different haki specs and basic advanced haki types make.
I'd rather have Roger beating a guy like Rocks thanks to FS or ID CoA or certain combat skills instead of him just having stronger will, leading to a CoC bloom or something. That's generic.
There are so many of these weaponized aCoC users, there must be some differences right.
For example I think that Ray and Gaban will shine with expert combat skills primarily, one with top tier conventional swordsmanship, the other with superb agility/gymnastics and stuff.
I think the probleme with CoC lies that someone like Kaido or Whitebeard has it too at top of their df powers.
And CoC became the new super Sayajin. Everyone has it and it is a one dimensional powerup:
- lightning trails
- shockwave
And if every character always show the same skills again and again, the fights in One piece lose his meaning.
Imagine would people like it if top tiers all run with a Nika df? All having similar powers? Nope...
.
And the same count for Adv CoC. It doesn't sees be so special and open up the question: how poeple like Shanks,Roger,Xebec and the others(Mihawk/Ray) can fight people who have also CoC+a awakened df??
Nen in HxH is a better powersystem, everyone has it but everyone gets a different ability, it isn't one dimensional. This make nen unique because characters show different skills, One Piece need that too because everyone spamming just shockwave is lame...
Adv CoC given a special skill, is what Roger and co need now. Hope Oda bring new ways to make fights with CoC better in One Piece.
