Alright, there has been many discussions on the '' Self '' in relation to Conqueror's Haki and its symbolic meaning
overall..
In this thread i will just amply '' Simplify '' and '' Solidify '' this concept, and also expand on it..
In chapter 1194, why did Zoro's memories and internal monologue specifically include Luffy at fishman island?..
As written above, Zoro states, it's that thing where Luffy knocks out a bunch of people at once.. That's fine and all, but what
makes this little moment important is not so much what is mentioned, but rather the inferred missing part.. Zoro doesn't
say that it's that thing where '' i '' knocked out a bunch of people at once in Wano.. Or neither is it, that thing where
Luffy knocked out a bunch of people at once, '' like i did ''..
Here.. We.. Go..
That is exactly what Zoro had to learn in 1194.. Zoro had to awaken base Conqueror Haki..
When i say base CoC, i mean the one we are used to, the traditional CoC that overwhelms others from the user's mind..
That's not what Zoro did in Wano.. As a CoA specialist, Zoro unlocked CoC through his Body instead of the
mind like other Conquerors do.. From Wano up to now, Zoro could not willingly make people pass out, he
didn't have such power..
You see, there are 2 distinct CoC Awakenings which augment your base CoC pool levels..
- The CoC of the Body(CoA)
- The CoC of the Mind(CoC)
So by Awakening the CoC of the mind, not only was Zoro able to finally control his CoC and Coat CoC, but
he also leveled up his CoC volume as a whole..
And by default Zoro graduated from King of Hell..
Now the Zoro shown with huge Black Lightning trails is the equivalent to Luffy vs Katakuri for Swordsmen, both
being level 2 CoC..
Have you started figuring out how to reach the level of Haki Conqueror?..
That is the Sky splitters.. Even though Luffy was applying CoC and coating himself with it, it
wasn't enough to sky split, he was lacking CoC raw power..
So i present to you, the third way of making people pass out, the lingering CoC..
The CoC that lingers..
残身 , Lingering Body.. This is obviously not CoC, but it's to give you the idea of what Lingering can be, an effect that is being carried
on independently..
Now this third CoC awakening can be observed through Big Mom who is not even in the picture..
Speed mentions that those are the ripples of Big Mom's Haki..
However that's not really precise.. The term here is 余波 Yoha, which can mean the aftermath of something,
or the after effect, the lingering effect.. For example on a windy sea, the waves that remain after the wind
has subsided.. Essentially the wave after the wave.. In other words, a unique lower
frequency extended CoC range..
The fully unconscious display of Luffy's Conqueror's Haki in Wano act 1 was an early sign of it..
Even post defeat, Kaido made the remark that Luffy kept glaring at him the whole time..
That's because Luffy was literally making his anger linger over time, resulting in his CoC
coming out.. He had to.. Or else he would have used CoC sooner..
The truth is you can't use the CoC of the Mind and the CoC of the Body at all when you're physically
unconscious.. However that sequence of event was not truly lingering CoC, but an intermediary
stage similar to unconscious CoO prior to getting Future Sight if you will..
Then, it's no coincidence that Luffy was first able to speak the Voice of All things while sinking in the
Wano sea after his rooftop defeat..
At that very instant, Luffy awakened the Lingering CoC, or what i would rename to the CoC of the Heart(CoO)..
For Luffy to have the authority to transmit his thoughts through the Voice of All Things, he had to have the capabilities
to linger his CoC across long distances above the normal CoC scope..
Note that communicating through the Voice of all things is a lone application of the CoC of the Heart.. As Luffy
was also fully physically unconscious in this scene as well..
So there you have the 3 encompassing Haki Colors in CoC latent level..
The CoC of the Mind(CoC) -- The CoC of Overwhelm..
The CoC of the Body(CoA) -- The CoC of Sacrifice..
The CoC of the Heart(CoO) -- The CoC of Linger..
All these combined form the peak of CoC potency level, the Haki Conqueror..
Defining traits, sky splitting or wifi Haki on Shanks' scale..
I didn't go over it, but the peak of Advanced CoC mixes CoC Coating Lightning on CoA Black Lightning and CoO White Lightning in one..
