Bougya Paging Dr. Rootbeer

@Rootbeer explain to us with your oh so infinite wisdom on Haki, why this attack (Leopard Spinning Balls) was not AdvCoC coated, but the one after it immediately was AdvCoC coated (1080 Phoenix Cannon) without pointing out the obvious lightning sparks and "ZAP" sfx?

Sure i can try.. Essentially its because CoC and a flying slash are both projection so they have affinity for one another..
If you have CoC and you put serious intent in creating a Flying slash, CoC will normally manifest itself.. Zoro relied on CoC to manifest 1080 pound canon in a single slash.. That's why Shusui added Haki to Zoro's flying slash when he first tried in Thriller Bark and it swallowed the other slashes..

I don't know how he activated CoC coating though..
KoH would have required the Black Lightning to be on the Blades before unleashing the attack..

I think the bigger issue is that the manga doesn't always make the activation of CoC coating visually consistent. If the attack immediately after is treated as AdvCoC because of the effect, then it's fair to ask why the first one doesn't get the same treatment when they're basically back-to-back.
The “CoC naturally manifesting through a flying slash” explanation is interesting, but I don't think the panels alone make that distinction completely clear.

Yeah, well i tried.. Aside the Black Lightning we need to extrapolate..

It needs to make sense to a degree..
