This was thrown in the trash as soon as haki got introduced lol, especially now that it's conqueror haki + logia/mythical zoan/busted paramecia or nothing.
From now on, it's just a haki contest
kidd and law beat big mom, using awakening
its just haki.
luffy beats kaido with a mix of haki and awakening but mostly awakening
its just haki.
kizaru is most using df attacks and luffy is also mostly using df attacks.
its just haki.
saturn hasnt observably used haki.
its just haki.
one elder used a haki attack that did nothing
its just haki
the elders most impressive ability is immortality
its just haki
geniuen question: do you guys read?
edit i will conteniute for fun:
hody jones zero haki.
ceaser clown literally beats luffy with zero haki.
doflamingo barly uses haki, is not at all the focus of the fight, every attack the mfer uses is df related.
cracker, another df merchant and luffy needed nami's help to soften his bisquits.
katakuri: finailly the first anatgonist that has some focus on haki pre skip, ohhhh he has awakening and his fighting style is a mix of both and its actually very creative?
no, just haki
kaido, a top tier with both haki and dfs.
nope his hybrid form does nothing just haki.
big mom another top tier with both dfs and haki,
again she doesnt at all use her df, ignore that literally half her moves are df related
if anything what one piece tells you, is that you need both haki and dfs mastery too be a top tier but its fine being a lower tier chaacter with 90% df mastery
