I’m agree most,
Except For the following which I’m neutral to:

(Regeneration Negation).
(Resistance to Petrification, Paralysis, Corrosion, and Poison Manipulation) .(Resistance to Intangibility Negation and to Resistance Negation).
 
No.

We're at a standoff between power nullification, resistances to half the wiki, and forcefield creation saying "hehe no".
 
It can’t possibly be power null right?

There are clear differences between haki and the yami yami no mi for example.

Summary​

Power Nullification, or Negation, is the ability to simply nullify the powers and abilities of others, negating their effects. The mechanisms by which this effect is accomplished and their restrictions vary from character to character, but the ability is often limited to a certain type of power, such as supernatural phenomena in general, or magic. In some cases, an ability can only be negated once it's been used or activated, but in others, powers can be nullified before they're even utilized. The effect may be temporary or permanent, and may be restricted by touch, or be something that the user can apply to any ability they see, or within a field that negates any powers within.

Different types of power null.

Could stop the person from using the ability, could stop the ability from working in general.

It would be a No Limits Fallacy to assume someone with this ability can nullify anything that falls within the phenomena their powers are made to counter. It is to be assumed that any negation power has its limitations based on the strongest thing it has nullified, and a character may be resistant to the ability (at least in one of its forms), preventing it from having its usual effects.
This is the argument right now.
 
It's a limited type of Power Null.

You can't null somebody turning into gas or sand, but you can null the elemental intangibility they get from it. You can't null Luffy stretching, but you can null the resistance to blunt force damage he gets from stretching.

So what if we update the Armamament Haki part of the page to put it as "Limited Power Nullification (Can negate certain Devil Fruit abilities, giving Limited Elemental Intangibility Negation, and possibly resistance to certain Devil Fruit powers such Law's spatial manipulation, etc)".

This supports the proposed idea that the elements that logias turn into should be resisted by proficient haki users. Since haki users can’t stop logias from actually turning into their elements, they are often in contact with harmful elements that the logias may turn into. But they don’t seem to be affected by it. So i feel like logia elements should be added as resistances.

I find the rest of the argument to be reasonable. Haki has shown to be limited in the amount of power it negates. I’m not sure but has haki ever denied a df ability that does not directly cause harm to the haki user’s body? (Outside of Marco’s inconsistent regen)

Force Field Generation.

IIt feels weird to call that forcefield manipulation, or else that means that Hody was biting through a forcefield.
That's a weakness most force fields wouldn't have, but since Oda added we also have to add it (weakness to cutting/piercing damage), but after fishman island i think Luffy removed this weakness, right?
I guess Haki just somehow phases through your body, I have no idea.
Haki isn't "Hard" normally, i know it isn't life force and the like, but it is pretty much flowing through everyone's body and can be "Hardened" to create a force field, at high level they just learn to send it greater distances before "Hardening".
 
It can't be resistance and forcefield, since half the things I stated in the OP got countered by "forcefield".

What's the logic behind regular haki being a forcefield instead of just the emission one?
 
I disagree entirely with Haki being any sort of application of Power Nullification, we have direct statements that Haki doesn't do that. The only abilities in the verse that null power are seastone and Teach's Yami fruit.

Rayleigh describes it as an invisible armor.

There's not just one universal "power null" in fiction. Haki obviously negates the elemental intangibility of Logia users, right? So it does nullifying some kind of power there.

It's just not a blanket Devil Fruit nullifier.

Has any haki user demonstrated any type of reaction (maybe pain) when hiting a logia or being hit by any type of df power while using haki?

I think that depends on the level of the Haki, remember Hody bit right through Luffy's although his Haki at this point wasn't very developed.

You'd be right with the first statement but One Piece isn't every fictional story, some works of fiction don't have have Power Null. My main point is that we only have 2 possible methods of power null in the verse, Haki isn't stated to be power null. The best form of null it has is against Logia's and even then, the null doesn't always work which is why Haki can also grab them as if they were solid.
It's just not a blanket Devil Fruit nullifier.
Never said it was, my main point is that dismissing the resistances in favor of minor power null isn't right either.


An easier solution could be the following.


Resistance to Elemental Manipulation. (Haki can interact with beings made of elements such as ice, fire, lightning and gas without any negative consequences.)

Resistance to Corrosion Inducement and and Petrifaction (Haki can interact with Shinokuni, who's body can corrode and transmute whatever it touches into stone.)


Regen Negation (Haki has shown to leave wounds on those with Mid levels of regen that won't heal .)


Resistance to Spatial Manipulation (Ample levels of Haki can block the effects of The Ope Ope's Spatial Slashing effects.)

Wouldn't that just mean breaking through his Haki?

I don't agree with most of the the listed suggestions there.

Shinokuni doesn't convert anything into stone, and the corrosion isn't evident in the gas form.

We can't say that Haki protects users from all elemental abilities. Users of Haki have suffered effects from these elements before like Whitebeard and Jinbe getting burned.

We haven't seen any amount of Haki be able to block Law's Devil Fruit conclusively yet. We only have statements that don't have enough backing yet.

Luffy hitting Caesar and the Shinokuni went to his hands.

Luffy didn't seem to be in any kind of pain, and right after this he was completely fine when talking to Nami and the others. The poison just didn't touch him.

You and I already concluded that the corrosion is out of the window since that's part of Smiley. He wouldn't be in pain. We see the poison on his hands and it rusted off.

It got on his Haki, it just couldn't break through

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post that I quoted. I thought you were saying he was in pain when he hit Caeser.

Hold up, that simply isn't true and let's really not use Jinbe getting burnt as an anti feat. He got burned by a character who's significantly stronger than him, a characters who sheer temperature isn't anything to dismiss and had stronger Haki. Whitebeard doesn't make sense either as he wasn't using Haki to defend from Akainu's Magma. Jinbe used his Haki to negate some of the elemental damage from Ace, Luffy uses it to prevent himself from elemental status effects. (Fire.) and they can grab Logia's without suffering any consequences.
We haven't seen any amount of Haki be able to block Law's Devil Fruit conclusively yet. We only have statements that don't have enough backing yet.
Doffy negated his Spatial Attacks multiple times, and Vergo also did the same at first before Law swung with his full force. The statements also come from Doffy who's extremely knowledgeable regarding the Ope Ope. We have statements and blatant feats of Haki resisting Law's attacks.


The arguments I didn't address in your last reply is because the corrosion stuff was rejected so I'm not gonna bother arguing for it.
 
The characters themselves aren't resistant to any of the abilities here, the resistances stems from them using Buso Haki and nothing else. So cases of characters being harmed without utilizing Haki shouldn't be used as an anti feat, such as Whitebeard getting burnt.


Also Jinbe did in fact lighten the amount of damage he took from Akainu's Magma, he still got burnt but it wasn't nearly as bad as it would have been without it. Hence why he used it to begin with, due to Haki having properties that make it resistant to elements to a certain extent.
 
I'm just saying.

Armament Haki was stated to be the sole method of combating Devil Fruit abilities (not Logias or Body changing Paramecias, Devil Fruit users in general. It doesn't say only Logias, so no).
Both versions say it, and Viz says "Counter Measure".

I'm not for giving a "possibly" or dropping every DF even though we get a statement for Haki being the direct counter.
 
@KingTempest; in context Rayleigh is talking about bypassing the defensives of Devil Fruits, with Logias being the primary example (obviously not the only example). Which is why Rayleigh says in the same sentence that it is the other option aside from attacking their weaknesses / weak points.
 
"Attacking weak points."

I'm curious as to what ability that would fall under? I don't believe the Haki page makes note of this

@Damage3245; that's the thing. More than logias have weaknesses.

Katakuri is a Paramecia who's Mochi is weak to water.
Body weight control Paramecias are weaker via the superiority aspect.
The weapon people (Daz Bones and Baby 5) via superiority as well.
Wax fruit can block poison fruit.
Pudding's and Brook's fruit is the weakness to Big Mom's.
Tama's fruit is the weakness to Zoans.

He's only referring to logias and body changing paramecias in that instance because that's how they could identify Haki pre timeskip via Luffy.

There are much more weaknesses than Logias. The fact that we have several showings of Haki being the direct counter to DFs show much more than just logias and body changing paramecias.

Most of these aren't relevant though... Haki can't do the same thing to Zoans that Tama's fruit can. Haki can't make Homies relieve their memories, or stop the Weight Control Paramecias...

I'm a bit lost on why you're bringing these up.
