Powers & Abilities Zoro Could Use Ryuo Before Enma

[Cinera]

You are showing a cut off from a page that concludes Kaido getting attacked by the Scabbards through out the chapter in various ways. For some reason imgur is being dumb so i can't link it, but i imagine you do have the whole page at your disposal. That panel is cut from chapter 992.

It's basically Kaido saying that the Scabbards found ways to hurt him with attacks that don't resemble Oden's blades, since he get's punched by Nekomamushi, kicked by Inuarashi, shot by Izo, etc.

This is not about type of Haki, but type of attacks in that particular chapter.

That's not how I read the page. I might reread the chapter, but I read it purely as the calibre of attacks.

Btw, if you check the pages when the Scabbards jump Kaido for the first time, when Kaido says that they also have Oden's Ryou, you can see both Kinemon's and Kiku's blades while they pierce Kaido's skin, and neither turns black and shows the Haki flow you're using to argue Zoro uses the same type of Ryou as them or Oden.

No, I was arguing that is how ryuo is drawn when hardening is being used. It's how ryuo was drawn when Zoro first used Enma. The overflowing hardening is how ryuo is drawn when Zoro uses it for his Kaido attacks.

I've already said I don't think there's any difference between the invisible armour/barrier/emission haki Hyougoro thought Luffy, and the ryuo the Scabbards use. Ryuo can be used without hardening.
