If you must blink, do it now.
To amend a post I made earlier, I googled Akainu and realized the person I was thinking of was Sengoku.

That's what I get for speculating about stuff I only know through cultural osmosis. Back to reading.

So is Coby Luffy's Garp, or will it be Smoker?

Crazy theory: Buggy is called "Buggy The Clown" as a reference to a harlequin or clown. This is why he has a circus theme.

Coby will end up Fleet Admiral when Akainu bites it. Smoker is like Garp in that they'll ignore orders from Marine HQ to chase after an important pirate (Luffy, Roger). Coby has all the fittings to lead the Marines in a reform era and we could see in his progression from East Blue to Water 7 to Marineford that he's going to be powerful by the end of the series.

They're the vaguest of mirrors in that they're like "shoots mans," "doctors mans," "is a fightmans" and I never really bought the "they're mirrors of the crew" so much as "they have incidentally related powersets to make for good themed battles in The Final Showdown."

I don't think observation haki works like that. It's not a wallhack that he can use to immediately identify if someone is nearby. Plus, I doubt any of them use haki in non-combat situations.

I just read the latest chapter, and man, I had to do a double take when Dragon just sort of casually appeared. His face wasn't covered and he had normal dialogue with another character! Maybe I'm forgetting another instance, but Dragon's been shrouded in mystery for so long it's really refreshing to just see him occasionally.

I'm pretty sure he's been uncovered ever since Garp casually revealed him way back. He usually shows up in dark lighting though I want to say.

One thing I just noticed. During Marinford, Buggy was treated as a kind of prophet or otherwise holy person by all of his new followers. And eventually, one of his followers became Hajrudin. During Dressrosa, the first person to call Usopp "God" was Hajrudin. So it's like he traded one deity for another by leaving Buggy and following the Straw Hats.

I've typed up a reply to all the posts that I got in response to my question last page, but it's quite long. 14, 000 words quite long, which is 5.5 pagedowns on my laptop. I kind of want to discuss it, but I don't want to piss on a lot of folks faces by starting a debate with such long posts if it's something that'll annoy people so I guess I'm just checking if people are actually interested or if I should just delete it and let everyone move on.

I think I was ultimately more interested in where the idea sprang from for different posters than anything anyways, and that's been adequately explained by a few folks, so perhaps it's best to leave it at that.

Re: Observation Haki

I'm pretty sure there's two different kinds of Observation - the kind that allows you to tell what move the person you're immediately fighting is about to use, that most people can use, and a more powerful version that Aisa, Enel, and Coby have that allows you to sense where people are, even from long distances, based on their "voice" that you can hear. Rayleigh told Luffy that most people specialize in one type of haki, I don't know if he meant specialize to the extent that you can use an enhanced form, but they appear to. I don't think Luffy has ever been shown to be able to detect people remotely.

Luffy, Sanji and Zoro all sensed something was wrong with Nami and Usopp when Ceaser got to them in Punk Hazard. Also, Zoro sensed an ominous evil aura when Vergo started tearing into G5, but only Sanji heard Tashigi's thoughts which makes sense since he's the Observation specialist according to the SBSes.

That's just silly. It's because she's a lady, and has about as much to do with haki as his diable jambe.

I'm going to pretend you are posting from an alternate dimension where One Piece is serious and Luffy is rational and calculating.




Maybe he is hoping that one of his crew mates can use observation Haki to hear them you crazy alien person.
