General & Others The people who said Luffy didnt use ACoC when he clashed with Kizaru in base are in the mud

I legitimately have no idea what this means
It Is something that was said again and again.

AdvCoC usage Is usually shown with thicker lightnings that "go back" in the direction of the user.

Usually the scene Is like this: user > (lightnings have this form) target. Basically this ">" sign.

You can clearly see this against Kaido, for example.

I don't even have an agenda against Kizaru though. I think Kizaru >= Luffy; both were not going all out and were doing some disgraceful mickey mouse stuff.
But Oda's portrayal is that the fight would be close, but Kizaru is a bit stronger, with the double KO while Kizaru got back up first.

I just don't buy that we can claim what type of haki is being used, from visuals alone.

100% confirmation at this point can only come from characters outright saying it.

Other than that, for me, narrative/logical argument makes more sense than arguments based on visuals.

For example, I think it's logical to assume Zoro's final attack on Lucci was advanced conqueror's - because Lucci was shown able to hold his own against even Zoro overusing advanced armament (smoke), it doesn't make sense that a single attack from advanced armament Zoro can almost one shot Lucci.

Similarly, I think narratively we can argue that WSG was advanced conqueror's.
It's Luffy's last attack before he's out of gas, and in desperation. It makes sense he used his highest level haki with that attack as well. As for other attacks? IDK.
100% now Is only when Oda confirms It since he Is totally unrealiable as said, but alas we can be more or less sure even in other situations.

For example, you talk about narrative for Zoro vs Lucci, and you are right. Now: we have Kizaru saying explicitly that he undestands why Luffy has beaten Kaido, a phrase that would have absolutely no sense if It was for AdvCoA only Luffy. I think we can agree on that: that was Oda saying Luffy was giving It all, literally.

Still, people came out with the weirdest takes to basically erase this simple statement.

I am sorry you took that this bad.

Literally in the manga, even Sai released black lightning against Lao G. COA also produces black lightning, before advancing COC was introduced.

And all the panels I demonstrated were pure use of COA Level 2 (Koka, explained in the manga), without ACOC. All the panels with as much, or even more lightning coming out than the panel of Luffy against Kizaru.

It was obviously ACOC. All the counter panels people show are always of 2 COC users clashing or 2 guys using COA hardening. Kizaru wasn't using hardening in that panel, and I could've sworn Admirals are forbidden from having COC apparently?

I mean seriously.....WSG to an unguarded Kizaru did no lasting damage. What's problem with Kiz blocking ACOC?

ACoC is when you don't touch, crazy how OP fans are the most illiterate fanbase then again most still think Ryou and Haki are two different things
So did Zoro never use ACoC since his swords were constantly touching King?
Did Luffys white star gun not use ACoC?
Kaidos ragnarok which told Luffy coating CoC is possible?

No touch is an application of CoA that gets empowered by CoC not ACoC.

As I said, you might at well quote the pre-TS and say haki is invisibile then. After Oda invented AdvCoC and decided what its visuals were, that type of visuals was only used for AdvCoC.

You quote Luffy vs Kata; I quoted Luffy vs Kaido with Luffy using an extremely more advanced CoA (interna destruction) and still not one lightning was seen.

Once again this thread isnt about anything but proving that Luffy did indeed use ACoC on Kizaru. A lot of people were saying he only used it once with WSG.
You aren’t going to be able to stop the agenda wars. People are going to downplay Luffy every chance they get. I agree with your post though.

When you hype nameless adCoC attacks to Elizabello kings punch level it’s hard to think that one could block it casually

In every fight, Oda doesn't draw the black lightning on every move, only on the most iconic ones, simply out of laziness. You might even be right, but we have no way of knowing. For now, we'll only know for sure when the requirements are met, as pointed out by @MonsterKaido

Imo this base kick and White Star Gun are the only times Luffy used ACoC on Egghead.

Not sure why people are freaking out over Kizaru blocking a base, DF-less kick from Luffy lol. Outside of ACoC, he literally couldn't use a weaker attack. It didn't even have ACoA as he physically touched Kizaru.

This was a super casual kick from Luffy, it's really not that deep.
