what you just said makes no sense. What does blowing air into it have to do with the fact that not even doffy could pierce it.
Not only that but doffy has already pierced base luffys haki by comparison
It all makes sense because it is what happened...
Quality of Haki doesnt change, no matter what mode combatants enter. Only the amount used changes.
Doffy didnt pierce him because he attacked a balloon which can do balloon things...
 
There is no difference between Luffy's G4 CoA application and FBH like Pica/Vergo do, except on Luffy not being complete body.
The difference is in the bodies, Luffy's wants to expand while Pica's and Vergo's doesnt, because they didnt blow air into themselves...
Luffy's haki is same in base, g2, g3 and g4. Haki doesnt get better through gears. He spends more of it in G4, that's all.
The thing is, we have no clue if their abilities can retain their attributes while hardened with haki like Luffy’s can
He, somehow, when using Gear 4; can harmonize his elasticity with his haki’s hardness
We have no clue if Pica has the same fluid like control over his stone if he were to harden it for example
So I’d argue that Luffy’s application of CoA is shown to be different, and better for that matter
I’d also argue that his haki doesn’t get harder in Gear 4, but it provides a better mechanic with the use of his haki

His tensile force of the DF gets the benefit from Haki hardening the rubber.
It is DF attributes that change, not Haki itself. Haki never changes unless there is growth.
No reason why hardened stone would lose the fluidity of movement when it should be impossible for stone to move in the first place.

We do have proof that others can combine DF properties with hardening.

Katakuri can retain the mochi properties, here we see the stickiness of mochi while hardened:


The hardened parts not only retain the stickiness of mochi, but we can clearly see it stretching as well:

Yes, you said there’s no difference in Luffy’s application of haki, there is

not in one piece

Pica can't utilize the attributes of his fruit along with hardening, at least we haven't seen it
This is why Luffy's application is better

Yeah, Diced mochi too, as well as Doflamingo technically
I'm only talking about Pica and Vergo

I'm not saying Gear 4 makes Luffy's haki harder
It's just a better application of haki than what we've seen from FBH users

Haki becomes stronger based on gears? Nothing in the manga supports that. Haki quality is always the same.
not in one piece
You misunderstood me. I said stone shouldnt be able to move if we apply irl logic, it would break apart.
In OP it can, so no reason why it wouldnt be able to move if you apply haki on it.

Jesus
I'm not saying that
I'm saying the way Luffy applies his haki only in Gear 4, results in harmonized elasticity and hardness
It's not "stronger" in that it's become harder. It's better because it provides 2 things rather than 1

We haven't seen them do what Luffy, Katakuri and Doflamingo can
Based on the list of people we've seen harmonize their haki with their DF's attributes, it's safe to assume their might be a higher tier of DF and haki mastery that Pica just doesn't use
Katakuri and Doffy are awakened, and Luffy can only do it with Gear 4
Pica and Vergo haven't shown it, that's why Luffy's application is different from FBH while in G4
 
then call this plot for whatever I care.
how could Luffy magically protect his tummy from getting skewered, but was completely unable to protect other body parts from minor attacks.
its the same thing at the end of the day. plot.

if you want to use plot as an excuse for 1 thing then at least apply the same reasoning to other instances aswell.
its either all plot or none is.

casual Cracker slash > God Thread confirmed lmao
Oda needed to develop the stuff regarding the blood transfusion between gyojins and humans -> Luffy needed to be in a "grave" state, his blood was a rare type and Jinbei, a leader for gyojins, with same group blood, was the one to give him blood in front of all the people and established the end for that ancient law.
That's a plot reason for Hody being able to pierce Luffy.
Ahh, and if Luffy was at his full health, he would destroy Noah. You know, that ship of the promise, which would be important in the future...
One only can be a moron aka Zorolieber or a person with the capacity of analysis of a kindergarden kid to not see why that bite was for the purpose of the plot lol.

And second thing, Hody only pierced through Luffy INVISIBLE CoA, not against his Kouka CoA (black Haki). So I can play with that too. Hody never pierced his Kouka, so this argument against Luffy's CoA is ridiculous, AGAIN.

Cracker slash is not above God Thread since God Thread never attacked Luffy, it clashed with another attack. And I don't need to explain what would happen to Cracker slash if he were to clash with a KKG no?

Not true, I can remember three instances where Doffy broke through Luffy's hardening


1º There is nothing there. Luffy blocks his kick and DD didn't even touch him with his strings.
2º Doffy hurt Luffy's cheek, not his arm. His arm has no damage where the Haki was displayed. Luffy lost in the "physical" contest. His block was not enough to block Doffy's kick force. That's all.

P.S: I can only see 2 images of the 3. The one in the middle is empty.

But you said Doffy does not have the AP to break Luffy's hardening, I was showing you that's not the case.
 
I think another thing we should clear up in this thread is being overpowered vs someone legitimately breaking your haki
Ulti overpowered Luffy with her AP, he tried to stand his ground against her forte and was knocked back, that doesn’t indicate inferior haki
Cracker broke through Luffy’s haki with a strike although even then, Luffy’s out stretched arm provided much less elasticity for defending himself, and Cracker used a very high quality sword, Katakuri is a better example
 
His MOUTH/FACE is bleeding, not his arm.
Bruh.
If the Mountain hit you with a sword and you block with a shield and the shield hit your face during the clash, you would lose your teeth while the shield would be unscatched since the Mountain does not have the AP to cut it.
What's so difficult to understand lol?
He blocked with his arm, his foot hit his arms he didn't hit his face.

Yes, there is harmony between haki and rubber which makes the gear itself possible.
It is not better since there is nothing to be better at. DF itself becomes better since thanks to haki it's capable of better tensile force.

Pica cant be using haki on a mountain, that's simply impossible, not just for Pica but anyone who would use his DF.
On a smaller form, he simply never applied it so you could be right or wrong, I cant tell since we dont have example from manga.
Pica's golem body is simply too huge to be used on it since it's a fake body, not his real one. Sanjuan Wolf doesnt have that problem.

Vergo achieved harmony between his bamboo stick and haki, he made use of tensile force to make a blow gun...
Vergo's haki didnt become better just because he changed the shape of the bamboo stick. Haki is always the same.
Pica simply has no need for such, his body is already huge and inflated through sheer amount of stone he is absorbing.
