Here in this panel Luffy outright states that he will "cut kaido down." Now I know it's a well established fact that Luffy cannot use a sword but I can't help but question if Oda might be planning something here.
There have been several hints to Luffy using a sword.
and now Luffy has finally mastered the ability to control the flow of haki, an ability that is essential to swordsmen, meaning that if he chose to use a sword, he would be fully capable of using haki through it.
yes in the beginning of the arc Luffy outright stated that he didn't know how to use a sword. But would it really be that difficult for Luffy to have learned how to use it somewhere during his prison training with Hyou?
Hyou was a master swordsman after all.
or could he not have conceived some sort of technique that would utilize a sword? Perhaps a new G4 or G5 form
Overall I think there are many hints that Luffy will indeed use a sword.
but if he chooses to use one, what would it be? Well I think its very possible that the one we saw in the panel where Luffy gets kabuto armor is actually some special sword. We know that they had collected several rare swords so I wouldn't put it past them having a supreme or great grade.
Another possibility is that Luffy could possibly get Momonosuke's sword.
Ame no Habikiri. A great grade sword on par with enma and Shusui that was weirded by Kozuki Oden himself. Yet so far nobody is fit to use it. I am sure that Momonosuke will get his moment to shine but I have little doubt that he will be able to do much with it. Given what Enma did to Zoro's arm, its doubtable whether Momo can even use it.
Luffy on the other hand with his control over haki could easily wield Ame no Habikiri if he chose to.
Here're my thoughts. Oden does have a connection with Luffy. It will ultimately be Luffy who fulfills Oden's will. He will be the one who opens wano to the world and he will be the one who will defeat Kaido.
It makes sense that the man who will defeat Kaido will also wield one of Oden's swords
Luffy will wield Ame no Habikiri. Zoro will wield Enma. Together they will carry out the will of Oden by defeating Kaido with his swords. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
