@fistsofrage:

I don't think haki is common at all and since wb "pirate fodder" never actually injured Crocodile I doubt they have it. Amazon Lily is a special case. Sure, the further you go into the New World the more likely you are to find haki users, but even then they aren't very many.

You do not know whether or not the WB fodder actually injuried Croc. But even if they didn't, it doesn't matter. What matters is that they were able to push him (and Daz Bones) back without water and apparently without seastone. It's pretty obvious even fodder members on Whitebeard's ship could use Haki.

@loneassassin:

pretty good episode for what it was, though seeing Pwngoat chewing on random Navy underling #236's coat and Bepo's scenes were a highlight for me

Not so random, actually. His name is Brandnew, he's appeared before when Luffy got his first bounty iirc.

**Haki is almost certainly going to be a fairly common thing in the NW. Perhaps not at the start, but we will eventually get to the point where being able to use Haki and being even slightly strong go hand in hand.

Remember, Whitebeard Pirate fodder were holding both Crocodile and Daz Bones back. That's a clear a sign as any that Haki is definitely not some particularly super rare in the NW, and very likely something extremely common on Whitebeard's ship.**

@KiShiDo:

I hate this whole haki is hard to learn and so rare bla bla… Aisa had it, Enel had it, All of the fodder girls of AL had it, 4 WB, Vista, Marco, Ace and probably Ace have it.

But yeah Sanji, monster trio guy, has no chance to have it.

**Enel and Aisa were iirc born with it, and the other guys you mentioned are really strong folk who have been fighting since before Sanji was born. I agree with you overall, but you didn't use the best examples.

Anyway, I don't expect Sanji to be able to use both of the main colors effectively since he didn't have a proper teacher. However, there's no reason that in 2 entire years he couldn't have become really good at using basic CoA and perhaps a tiny bit of CoO.**

@fistsofrage:

I don't know if we should call what luffy does soru but he definitely used gear 2.

He uses G2 for all his attacks now, but I'm not sure he uses G2 for his soru anymore.

You guys think Luffy used soru this chapter? Or was that just him jumping?

But I mean if there was enough force behind it the giant would definitely feel it. I mean, you don't think Wolf can just brush off a Roger or Garp punch, do you?

@Coruscation:

It's not too strange, really. Luffy's tiny little hand hitting a beast THAT big just isn't going to do much even with a massive force behind it. Besides, he only aimed for the tooth from what I can tell so it makes sense that it was only the tooth that broke >_>

**Don't see why not.

But yeah, he obviously aimed for the tooth.**

If Hodi is conscious, it'll be just barely. Zoro is a swordsman, he always ends his fights with one clear attack.

**It's not even just the creativity, it's just actually seeing the movements. Kinda hard to explain. I always prefer pure physical fights to things like Usopp's or Nam's fights. Not that I mind how Usopp/Nami etc fight etc as that is still very entertaining, but sheer physical fights are just so much cooler. Actually seeing the complete movements Luffy makes, and the same goes for Zoro/Sanji, is just cool. Instead of all this "I can't even see the attack" stuff. Not that I mind them, but there's such a thing as too much. Hopefully there will be a more of a balance in the future.

Also, I predict Hodi will write a best selling novel. You heard it here first.**
