Bc this Devil Fruit is the best he can do. His DF AP > his Haki's.
Your interpretation is bad. Especially since Akainu just kept defeating opponents who stood in his way to Luffy.
And Marco only blocked a regular punch from Akainu.
- 20,560
- 15,222
His DF ap was blocked by Marco, his Haki defense fully tanked Marco's and Vista's attack...
In terms of haki vs ap difference against the commanders... the haki difference was greater
- 134
- 12
First, Akainu didn't use Haki. What do you mean "Haki defense"? lmao This is just Marco and Vista who strikes him and it didn't worked
And, again, Marco only blocked a magma punch. Not even one special attack from Akainu.
- 20,560
- 15,222
A magma punch meant to kill... If it's a special attack then it shouldn't even be on his normal ap section to begin with
Why didn't it work...? Haki forces their elemental intagiblilty to be solidified, and it didn't because of the haki difference... That is accepted stuff already
You need strong enough Haki to overpower their DF abilities if they are also a Haki user
- 134
- 12
So what? He have many named attack (and he will have others)
"That is accepted stuff already" THIS IS a problem lmao
Yes you need "strong enough" Haki to overpower DF abilities, but if it's didn't work, this is simply because Marco and Vista's Haki were not strong enough to affect Akainu..
- 20,560
- 15,222
that's what I said...
You just agreed to the stuff that was accepted...
Named attack or not, he was still going for the kill... He wasn't holding back or anything... That's his attack potency
It seems you just don't understand and aren't really willing to listen at this point, so I most likely will not continue on this discussion

Nah you said "his Haki defense fully tanked Marco's and Vista's attack..." Please, read!
His AP are his special attacks and not a simple magma punch, aiming for kill or not
- 20,560
- 15,222
yes his Haki proficiency is superior to them both, enabling him to defend himself against their attacks... it is literally statedNah you said "his Haki defense fully tanked Marco's and Vista's attack..." Please, read!
That's not how that works, special attacks are usually for different ratings and "simple" or base attacks are the things mentioned here
His AP are his base attacking power/force... His special abilities (if there are any) that boost his AP even more would have to be listed as separate
- 134
- 12
Yeah no. Its only your interpretation. Akainu didn't use Haki here. So don't talk about "litteraly" lmao
No. It don't work like THAT. Just how many years do you works like that? You can't compare Marco to Akainu's AP with just one punch?

Akainu didn't use haki against some of the strongest commanders of the strongest pirate crew in the verse. Ok. Whatever you say.
- 23,394
- 21,129
Akainu definitely used Haki, but I think Marco’s Devil Fruit having special properties that let it repel flame-based attacks was a major factor in why he could defend against that punch. I wouldn’t say that this disqualifies adding Akainu’s ability to take on several of Whitebeard’s commanders by himself to his justification.
- 20,560
- 15,222
Akainu himself says they used Haki; it is literally stated that Haki lower than someone else's Haki would make it so the abilities continue to work... That confirms he's using Haki
So yes I will "talk about literally". it is not my interpretation, that's just how op works
- 134
- 12
Kizaru didn't use Haki against Luffy GEAR 5, who defeated Kaido, who 1v9d Nine Commanders in base form with low difficulty
OK. Whatever i say
- 134
- 12
Akainu didn't use Haki. Only Marco and Vista did. The reason he complained about Haki users
- 134
- 12
Oh please send misinterpreting everything lmao and your source don't even come from the manga. Akainu didnt USE Haki. Don't force me to repeat it myself. This is so stupid
- 134
- 12
But seriously, is that really what this website is about? Passing off approximations as proof?

Lol. In all seriousness, I'm in such a hurry for this flashback to end already so we can get back to the Straw Hats that I keep forgetting that one of the main reasons we're getting it in the first place is to find out why Loki had to kill Harold. So after we get the last of the Rocks/Roger/Garp stuff, maybe Oda will finally start showing that.

Hopefully we start the loki and Harald portion of the flashback next chapter so we can hurry up and get back to the present

I wonder if we're also gonna get Shanks vs. Loki before this flashback

They come from Oda/Oda related works... If you want from the manga... Here:
If you want more here's more:
If you want haki that's not hardening armament Haki (the concentrated arm haki), where Oda doesn't shade it black:
You don't need to be shown them using haki to confirm whether their using haki or not, Akainu got annoyed of them trying to use haki on him and it didn't work for a reason... A reason that's been stated and shown multiple times for post timeskip
The problem is you not understanding one piece... You need the fanbooks, I don't or didn't. The sources I gave before are from the op magazines where it went over the basics of one piece for beginners, it seems even with that, you still aren't understanding...
At this point you aren't even willing to understand it seems, so until you aren't close minded, It's a waste of time to discuss with you

What YOU don't understand is that AKAINU, in this scene, didn't use Haki. Only Marco and Vista did. Not him!They come from Oda/Oda related works... If you want from the manga... Here:

Is that CLEAR, now?
" Haki lower than someone else's Haki would make it so the abilities continue to work" Yes, but no! This was stated for LUFFY only. And Luffy in Gear 4 Boundman. This never included the other Paramecias, let alone the Logias.
I don't need the fanbooks. I'm a pro at the manga and i prefer proofs/facts over approximations/interpretations.

Law cut Vergo bc the VA's Haki was not strong enough to counter the Ope Ope, and not because Law's Haki was greater or something
- 20,560

Then what’s this…
Or law vs emperor’s haki moment in the manga
The fan books and the manga disagrees with you… you’re just ignoring them and acting oblivious

What you're saying is simply different from what's actually explained, damn it. Learn to read the arguments you're using properly.
YES, sufficiently powerful Haki can nullify Devil Fruit powers.
But NO, having Haki that is superior to someone else's does NOT mean that the weaker person's Haki suddenly becomes unable to nullify the opponent's Devil Fruit powers.And that is NOT the reason why Marco and Vista failed to damage Akainu. It's simply because their Haki was too weak.

Wait I don't get it. You think that different devil fruits need different levels of haki by default? Like, for some logias you need basic armament and for others you need advanced or something, like ain't that a bit weird for some fruits to simply have a high tolerance to haki, their counter?
The scan from Vergo versus Smoker basicaly says that, against a user of "superior haki"( as in, if your oponents haki is greater than yours), the defensive capabilities of logias are useless, what do you say to that?

He says "against someone with SUPERIOR haki, turning into smoke and expanding your volume only makes for a bigger target". Why did he say superior if its just haki? It can only be 'superior' to something if its being compared to something and in this case, haki is what is being compared. But who's haki would it be comparing if not the logia user? Also, why would certain fruits simply have a "tolerance" to haki. Why is Sakazuki's intangibility a higher level of intangibility to other logias? Pls tell me because I really can't see your pov.He didn't say that

Marco hit Kuzan
Kuzan's Haki > Marco's Haki bc Kuzan's Haki ~ Garp's Haki and Garp's Haki > Marco's.
Sentomaru hit Kizaru
Kizaru's Haki > Sentomaru's.
- 134
- 12
even Pre-Timeskip Luffy hit Kuzan once but anyway
- 134
- 12
"Why is Sakazuki's intangibility a higher level of intangibility to other logias? " We know that Sakazuki trained his devil fruit so it can be the answer. Anyway, if he is bored of Haki users, calling them "Haki users", this is not because he used Haki himself lmao.

No.
That's never been the case
Haki in general will allow you to interact with their true bodies, if you need "strong enough" haki to interact with logias it would make no sense that Marco or Vista doesn't use strong enough haki... you would be saying luffy in punk hazard has stronger haki than them
- 20,560
- 15,222
by what measurement did you know that Garp's Haki > Marco's Haki...? Lol...
How is Aokiji's Haki equal to Garp's Haki... And why is Aokiji getting affected by Marco and Jozu's Haki?
Kizaru himself says has equal defense to Sentomaru, so not true... Otherwise prove it's stronger
- 134
- 12
This is the otherwise you need to prove
THey're Admiral and Kizaru is the one who taught Sentomaru. Kizaru didn't say "equal", but anyway, this is don't change the fact that a Haki don't need to be stronger than another Haki to hurt the other
- 134
- 12
I'm JUST saying that Marco and Vista didn't hurt Akainu and that wasn't a Haki story from Akainu.
No.

The problem is Akainu. Not Marco, who hit the others Admirals, and Vista
