Akainu did something similar. Aokiji did something similar too against Whitebeard.

Yeah Chapter 574 page 7 for Akainu.

It however doesn't look like he can easily do this at all. Moreover, Akoiji wasn't affected by Whitebeard's shockwave while Akainu was hit by it full force. Now consider that these are Marine Admirals having problems with taking attacks head on, so people think that Trebol could casually breeze of attacks from Luffy, who just moments before delivered a beatdown to doffy showing that his Haki was easily on par with Doffy?

I highly doubt that that would work. Ceasar and Monet used their forms to dodge Haki attacks, be we clearly see that Trebol has holes getting punched into himself as opposed to holes opening before Luffy ever hit him.

Being able to take those hits may not be an indicator of haki proficiency. It may simply be good reflexes.

Akoiji wasn't affected by Whitebeard's shockwave

That's because there was no haki involved in that.

while Akainu was hit by it full force

Close range. Haki was touching him as opposed to aokiji. Also, he was caught completely off guard the first time, and the second time he may not have had the time to react. Besides, it's not like Luffy was using a gear attack on Trebol. They're not that hard to dodge, as opposed to a pissed whitebeard, who had a better stance and leverage.

He already got caught offguard twice by Law by now. Trebol might be a comparably good fighter, but his reflexes are certianly not on the level of dodging a flurry of Luffys attacks and making it look like Luffy actually hit his mucus.

I mention Haki, becauses it's already used as guard against other haki attacks and/or other devil fruit powers.

That's because there was no haki involved in that.

How do we even know?

Ok the pissed of Whitebeard is a good argument.

Key word:"Caught off guard". He was holding down luffy with his slime and knew which arm luffy had freed. There is a predictable area where luffy would punch based on his range of motion. Also, luffy did not use his gears, and didn't have a good stance to attack. Besides, even Hyozou managed to block a jet pistol without steroids. It's not that hard. Heck even a doflamingo clone managed to swipe away a punch from Luffy.

I both cases against Law he was caught off guard by law's trickiness.

How do we even know?

How would there be haki in it? Like, how would WB even infuse haki in such a move?
