Does it come out this or next week??

@Kaze:

Please, tell me why you revived a thread when we have a perfect thread to talk about haki in?

Oh my apologies. I didn't notice the other one. It's just this one was the first one I saw, and it was pretty high up on the first page so it didn't seem like it needed any "reviving" lol.

Why isn't this one locked btw?

From my understanding, Haki = force/willpower/spiritual energy. With enough training, it could allow its user to perform various techniques for combat.

I think the confusing part is how Oda explains this concept by changing it to "Ambition". Obviously, he does this to suit the prominent theme in this series. I know a lot of people think that Ambition (in One Piece) refers to just a character's psychological desire to reach a goal, but I believe it's more spiritual than that. In reality, the feeling of ambition may often strengthen our actions, but when does it allow us to dodge things we can't see, easily blast away creatures 20 times our size, or knock out a bunch of people just by staring at them? Ambition in One Piece makes these possible because it's viewed more as this aura of energy that's stored inside people (also because it's a cartoon lolol). If simply feeling more ambitious makes an OP character stronger, then Luffy could just ditch Rayleigh and go seek a psychologist. Instead, Luffy must undergo 2 years of training because he needs to awaken and properly control the "Ambition" inside of him.

Because of that, I think calling it Ambition can be pretty confusing. One of the posters was spot on when he suggested it be called "Power of Ambition". It doesn't sound as cool, but at least people would get a sense that it's more than just a feeling, and it doesn't really take a physical form (like ki). Rather, it's a spiritual energy, converted from the feeling of ambition that enables its user to kick some ass!

Hah, knew Sabo was gonna die. Eat that, doubters!
