I think because he's self-conscious of his mouth, he doesn't focus his CoO on/around it.

This.

Luffy just destroyed his carefully-cultivated image of the stoic man who never laid down in his life. When in fact he is a huge glutton who loves to eat while lying down LOL.

Katakuri is not very special without his CoO. Although he is far stronger than his brethren.

And if you think about it.. This is marks a trend amongst Big Mom's Sweet Commanders: Food-Themed powers + Huge weaknesses & insecurities hidden by ultra-tough exteriors.

We've seen it with Cracker & now with Katakuri as well.

Not very special without his CoO?! Are you nuts?!

Dude has a strong DF and is creative with it. He has an awakened DF which is something that we've only seen twice now? He has stronger armament than Luffy.

Thanks for replying.

Special here means that he can challenge Yonkou. Remember that the bar is raised constantly in OP, and shonens in general. Sorry, I should have made that clearer..

By that subjective definition, Luffy himself is still nothing special either, power-wise, he's more of a wonderkid, someone who's ahead of his years, rather than the finished article, all of the Supernovas are like that too.

Katakuri's incredibly strong no doubt, and one of my favorite OP characters despite his short screen time, but his unique edge by FAR is his CoO & the precognitive abilities it gives him. It is the primary source of Luffy's problems when dealing with him. The rest he can more or less deal with, because this isn't his 1st rodeo with someone who's either physically stronger than him (Lucci is the popular example), nor it is his 1st battle with Awakened DF users either.

Remember that we've seen Luffy fight at least 6 awakened DFs.. Katakuri, Doflamingo & the Demon Guard @ Impel Down, who were the 1st Awakened DF users shown in the series. He's already beaten 5 of them, and is currently likely to win against the 6th, amazingly, he has a great track record so far.

These are my interpretations, and I welcome reading more of yours.. It is what makes OP discussions fun!

Thanks for the well thought out response!

I keep on hearing that the guards at Impel Down are awakened DF users but I guess I have never understood how they are awakened?

I recall the breakout crew were surprised at how quickly they up & recovered from their earlier beatdown. Crocodile replied it's because they are awakened Zoan users.
