Carved up
So, I have some thoughts about Rayleigh's first named attack.
Like everyone else, I found it odd that Oda didn't depict any visible Haki. Rayleigh's sword wasn't coated black, and there wasn't any lightning. Now, there are a couple of reasons I can think of for why Oda handled the scene this way.
One is that Rayleigh (and the others) may not be aware of the Knights of God's immortality. Earlier, Whitebeard also attacked a knight (Maffey) seemingly without using Haki. Second, I believe there's a mirroring with Gaban's first named attack, Yasotakeru. Gaban's attack also appeared to lack Haki, as even his axes weren't black. Both moves were pure brute strength.
My third reason is more speculative and might be wrong if Gaban does have an upcoming encounter with Sommers during the God Valley Incident. But what if Rayleigh's attack caused battlefield removal? If Sommers was blasted off the island, wouldn't he just respawn in Mary Geoise? We have seen that happen to Marcus Mars. Maybe there's a distance limit from Abyss summoning points. Also, Sommers' thorns lose their powers when he's out of range, which was Robin's plan.
In any case, we should be seeing another named move from the Dark King, but this time with ACoC infusion.
