Yes, but shadowgreed say Luffy should use emperor's haki against the heavyweights. That's what I answered to, obviously a burst of haki would to calm the fodder down is the probable cenario.
Maybe he meant what you said and I misunderstood, if so, my bad.
Nah your good but one could make the argument that it works even against stronger opponents or Luffy using it against Chinjao, Monet, and Doffy was pointless. I look of it kinda like a power uo in a sense. Maybe that just means he gets serious and starts going all out but it usually helps him in some way….
