"To never doubt, that is power"
- Silvers Rayleigh
If Haki is the embodiement of the user's will, then "love" is probably the most powerful one, its the strongest feeling, if it's real, then it isn't dubious, there is no room for someone's doubts or wavering. Even Conquerors have doubts and moments of despair and weakness.
It's a power that makes the impossible something possible, someway, somehow.
It looks like this power was deeply within the Buccaneer's roots and culture, which means that they were probably the ones who made this become a thing.
I bet Oda is gonna use Gaban to go further into that. I believe that Luffy will eventually have to use that power to break limits, and he will share with his Right and Left Arm at least a very few abilities (Future sight is a given i guess, for the 3 for example...)
Overall, things could go like:
Zoro and Luffy can use CoC offensively.
Sanji and Luffy gonna be able to use "Love" the same way.
(Btw i could be wrong about what i said above, because there could be other stuff they can share with each other, not necessarily restricted to CoC or PoL...)
- Most people would think that it makes sense for Gaban to have CoC, and indeed, there is no problem with that. But i think Oda wants to explore different stuff through Luffy's most trusted and strongest subbordinates. Sanji as the Left Arm would fit the role.
- What if Garp's strength also gets explained through Power of Love? I mean, he is no swordsman, he has no Mythical or Logia Devil Fruits, no Lineage Factor modifications through scientific experiments, and he is still shoulder to should with Sengoku and co?
"Wavering is a sign of weakness"
- Monkey D Garp.
So to sum things up
:
- As silly as it may look sometimes, everything points out that "love" can make someone more powerful, but it still seems to be a quite rare ability (power of friendship *ahhh* ability);
- If willpower and the user's spirit translate into Haki as we know, then "love" can translate into something new.
- It seems to break the barriers of what science and Haki can pull up;
- Buccanners might have been its pioneers, and it explains Kuma being able to do what he did without Vegapunk not finding a proper explanation, same to Kizaru when Sanji blocked his laser, Kizaru's expression speaks by itself;
- Gaban, the "Preacher of Love", will probably display it in Elbaph, but perhaps not even against Luffy, he will use it to protect something important to him when things go dire.
The Legend of Nika was previously told to be a Buccaneer tale, but recently it was revealed that it's famous in Elbaph as well (and many other places it seems...), and as everyone knows, Devil Fruits exists through the dreams of people, they wish something so much that it becomes reality at some point: That was Vegapunk's theory.
If the Buccaneers were PoL users mostly, what if Nika embodies the PoL notion to a point where it completely distorts reality at free will? I mean, thats what Gear 5 does, isn't it? It explains why Luffy feels SO FREE when he is using it. Perhaps Luffy knowing more deeply about the PoL will make him much stronger, matching the whole point of his Devil Fruit and being able to use it without restrictions such as time limits, the fruit choose him for a reason!
The definition of "Pirate Jesus" indeed
I could add a few more stuff, specially Sanji and PoL related, but it's too much already. Cheers
