I’ll cut Ndule some slack at least
As a Luffy fan it does kinda leave a sour taste in my mouth that Zoro/Sanji didn’t really have to struggle pretty much at all to pick up ACoC in comparison
Luffy awakened the basic version and spent
2 years learning how to utilize it properly. So when we finally see him unlock ACoC (after finding out it exists at all) it feels like a given
Then Zoro finds out he has conqueror’s haki (or doesn’t actually, lol) and coats his attacks with it all in the same night
Now Sanji will likely do the same
It would’ve been significantly better imo if Oda had them awaken the basic version in whatever arc
before Wano and Elbaf to properly lead up to them coating their attacks
Because then they’d still have less experience with conqueror’s haki than Luffy
but you could at least make the argument that the knowledge that coating even exists gives them a big enough bump to get them over the hill
Just my 2 cents
