Powers & Abilities “Forging” Black blades

[ImmaIvanoM]

I think it’s not a coincidence that the word Zoro highlights from this interaction is “forged”

See Mihawk more or less should have told Zoro how black blades are formed in the 2 year time skip but among all the things that Gyukimaru said, the thing got Zoro’s attention was the word “forged”

Meaning Mihawk didn’t mention this word when he was giving his overview of how Black blades are made.

If we take the word “forged” literally, it implies basically beating haki into the sword. Haki coating is exactly that, a coat of Haki around the sword. Whether CoC or CoA, the haki is applied around the sword. But forging implies the haki has to be infused into the sword itself.

That’s why Gyukimaru talks about Ryuma’s history of battle. Battles entail sword clashes. And sword clashes provide pressure for “forging”. I think Black blades are made when a swordsman infuses haki into the sword through the physical pressure of battles.

And no, this isn’t what Joyboy’s haki knot is. People misunderstand the haki knot. Joyboy said that he is going to “compress” a haki blast. Joyboy made a haki blast and then wraped it in rope knot. He didn’t infuse his haki into the literal molecules of the rope. He tied the rope around a haki bomb basically.

“Forging” a black blade would entail a haki ability we have not yet seen. Instead of CoC coating or CoA coating, it’s literally turning haki inside out so that it enters the molecules of an object and strengthens them from within

Oda is just misusing Nen

 

[Nadel]

Only the most powerful can forge a black sword. In all of history, only Mihawk and Ryuma could.

I would rather keep it simple.

Stronger your blade is stronger will be your attack.

Ungraded sword vs A supreme grade sword. The ungraded one would shatter in an instant. Like Zoro vs Mihawk east blue.

Mihawk Statement of " Blade shattering is a dishonor for a swordsman ".

So forge something which is going to be so tough, that even a Dinosaur standing on it can't can't bend it.

That's why I call Black Blade sword are in a league of their own, apart from graded Swords.

Constantly using Haki in the sword, And Rewriting the Will of thr sword with their own " Will / Haki " is how one turns the blade black.

I’m thinking it will be something similar to Bleach like the swordsman having a spiritual connection with the blade and really getting attuned with it to where you both understand each other. Especially when we think of Blades having presences and personalities it makes me feel like the world is filled with Kenpachi Zaraki’s that just swing their blades around like a bar rather than really being in sync.

Permanent CoA hardening.

 

[Albino 👑]

Death

1. Aramaki might’ve killed a women significant to him or she killed herself using his blade. Her will/soul/spirit living on through the blade
2. Mihawk either killed someone significant to him in the past, killed himself, or got killed by his own blade

DF awakening pretty much showed us that Oda doesn't care about explaining powers and how they work, he just simply skipped it by saying "your DF awakens when your body gets used to it" which is the same as skipping the answer all along.

Same thing is gonna happen with back blades, Oda will completely skip the explanation part by just saying "swordsman can make their blade black after endless amounts of fights," and everybody will accept it, the fanbase will be happy, the story will go forward. Just deal with it, this is how one piece is.

But if we assume that Oda is actually gonna explain it (which I pretty much doubt), then based on the phrase "FORGED" I'd assume that the way to make a blade dark is by heating it to a melting temperature and applying haki to it, hence forging your will into the the blades metal. But it's too complicated for Oda, he'll never do it.

Yeah it’s entirely possible Oda has no actual explanation so I’m giving him the benefit of a doubt

It’s strange that Oda put this over Oden’s head. Like after all the endless wank that Oden got in Wano, the only time someone ever said Oden failed short of something was when Oden’s own father was saying Oden didn’t manage to make a black blade

So you’d guess that Oda has an explanation for why Oden didn’t achieve this when Zoro will

What I get from this is that Zoro has to go through much more fights before facing Mihawki

Kaido also forged black club
