General & Others Observation power ups vs dr giants or bbp’s

[Albino 👑]

Maybe it’s still too soon but it seems like Luffy will finally learn more about his ability to use the voice of all things in elbaf (hopefully). If so do you think it could lead to observation based power ups for Zoro and Sanji too or will it wait till against the Blackbeard Pirates?

I made a theory a bit ago on how I thought they’d likely upgrade their observation against the bbp’s but hey maybe it comes sooner. At the same time I don’t think the voice of all things is specifically tied to observation haki for Luffy. So maybe against bb he can actually specifically better his haki still

While oda could technically just have zoro and sanji go the same route as luffy when it comes to strengthening his haki with powers like internal destruction or future sight i personally doubt he will

I think wano is likely good insight into how oda will choose to develop their haki. Specially when it comes to their armament

Luffy just developing it in a more linear fashion getting the most advanced form of armament with internal after unlocking external

Zoro through having external armament (something he’s had since daz) + enma strengthens his armament by increasing his output and overflow to the point he

Sanji having the most basic form of armament but instead of specifically boosting it he stacks the toughness of armament with the toughness of his exoskeleton to develop ifrit

I think that that pattern might also apply to their other forms

1. Luffy more directly just upgrading his haki
2. Zoro through mastering blades that effect haki
3. Sanji stacking scientific upgrades with his haki

Imo Blackbeard and his crew will be the ones the monster trio need to strengthen their observation skills against

1. Luffy needing to directly improve his observation haki
2. Zoro maybe mastering wado (enma’s opposite and sister blade) to somehow counter Shiryu
3. Sanji maybe getting another science/lineage factor boost he can stack with his haki

As for why I didn’t mention conqueror specifically infusion?

1. I personally think there’s more to conquerors than infusion
2. Infusion is the most common compared to future sight and internal destruction
3. Sanji is likely to get it

Roger and Xebec had 4 conquerors under them each 3 main commanders and an apprentice. So luffy is definitely going to have at least 2

What Luffy has could be tied to the VOAT specifically especially with the emphasis it got in the flashback with Rocks, Roger, and Garp

Remember, when Chopper fell only Luffy was able to tell who it was

I’d argue it’s because rather than just sensing Chopper he was also able to hear his “voice” from a distance and knew it was him

We know that this ability has various uses (Luffy would’ve died without it in Wano) and we’ve yet to see someone push it to it’s limits

This could be what sets Luffy apart going into the Final Saga. He’ll likely be the first person to tap into different applications of VOAT since Joyboy
