I think its kinda retarded that Luffy only figured this shit out now in wano, when he was trained by one of the strongest haki users ever. Like I'm not saying that Rayleigh should have taught him ACoA or ACoC, but at the very least, Rayleigh could have explained to Luffy how these abilities work and how to unlock them. He basically told Luffy how to unlock future sight, an ability he didn't even have. But he couldn't have done the same for internal destruction or ACoC?
I feel like that's kinda bullshit. Honestly, I don't know why Rayleigh didn't even teach Luffy basic Ryuo, especially when its the gateway to learning ACoC and Luffy's strongest ability, gear 4th, is based off CoA. Its not even that hard, basic ryuo(not barrier CoA) is a low tier ability that is essentially the basis for hardening weapons. Tashigi, helmeppo, and the fodder from amazon lily all know how to do this. But Rayleigh couldn't even give Luffy a study guide on how to do this?
I mean honestly, Luffy was already using basic ryuo after Hyo merely told him how it worked(you can see Luffy flow small amounts of haki when he punched armadillo man).
This kinda seems like plot induced stupidity. Luffy is a very basic character and Oda doesn't want to develop him at all so the only thing he can do to make him interesting is give him these power ups every single arc. Therefore, rather than Luffy coming out of the timeskip knowing ryuo(like Zoro did), Oda needs to hold off on it for literally no reason. I think this is dumb. I think rather than having Luffy learn ryuo in wano, he should have learned it from Rayleigh. Then Oda could have made ACoC have a much bigger role throughout wano, rather than Luffy unlocking it at the last moment during the rooftop fight.
