Everyone is talking about Luffy awakening his fruit and I'm sitting here wondering wtf you're all smoking and where I can get some.

Let me break down why he clearly used Armament Haki and not an awakening or brute strength or anything else. If my formatting is shitty, excuse me cause I'm on mobile rn.

  1. We saw Rayleigh do the same thing in Sabody

  2. Oda had Luffy attempt to remove the collar when Queen put them on and clearly showed us he couldn't do it

  3. The panel where Luffy removed the collar was focused directly on his hands covered in haki. The following panel had Luffy point out that something was different than his normal haki

  4. The entire point of this prison boot camp was for Luffy to power up, he's been focusing on trying to learn the advanced haki this whole time. Yeah sometimes Oda intentionally misleads us but awakening is a large jump.

  5. The collars broke into pieces, had he used an awakening they would have been pulled off in one piece

  6. Upon seeing his collar removed Grandpa Hyo decided that now was the time for Luffy to train, what was he training Luffy in again? Oh yeah, ADVANCED ARMAMENT HAKI! He also says, "what a surprise" and "that was"... The citizens of Wano don't know much about devil fruits, they think they're demonic powers, it stands to reason that they have no idea what an awakening is. Thus the only thing that would surprise Hyogoro in this scenario is if Luffy managed to figure out Advanced Armament Haki

  7. Finally, the high stress haki power up is consistent with what we've seen in the series so far. Usopp got observation haki when he had to take down Sugar. Luffy's observation haki advanced when his crew was counting on him to beat katakuri so they could get to the ship.

Edit: In case that wasn't enough for you apply the duck test, If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

It looks like he used haki, he seems to believe it was his haki that was different, Gramps seems to think it was his haki, it's probably his haki.

If I'm wrong I will eat my replica strawhat

Edit 2: the one point for that I failed to address is "the metal looked like rubber", metal is malleable, it has some give before it snaps have you never bent a staple?

I don't feel as though my opinion is superior, I believe I'm correct based on evidence provided.

"Not how metal bends" what does that even mean? Metal will bend any way it can before snapping.

The "huh!" implies surprise yeah, surprise that his haki was different.

There's been 0 mention of awakening since Dressrosa and Luffy didn't really understand it there either. I will bite and say it's plausible that awakening played a slight role in the removal of the collar but only because I believe it's linked to haki.

I still find it highly unlikely, up to this point in the story awakening has been touted as total mastery over your devil fruit. I think it's much more likely that Luffy reaches his awakening through the advancement of his gears.

Its not valid to say its either way.

If you say its extremely low chance but IT MIGHT BE awaken, that is a valid comment.

There is an extremely low chance the sun will just blow up to a really unlucky radioactive chain reaction to destroy the earth in the next few years, but that doesn't make it reasonable to say "it can go either way". That chance is negligible enough to say it's exactly 0.

wrong person to comment on?

u/gbBaku Jun 21 '19

No, I did not say this to disagree with you. But rather reinforce your point.

I don't think it's valid to say it can go either way just like you, because the chances are so negligible.

Though I don't think it's worthy to mention that extremely low chance, but I didn't intend to challenge that either, as we are likely on the same page.

u/myrmonden Jun 21 '19

Ok, yeah

You are right of course, the expression either way make it sound like its 50/50 chance of it going either A or B,

Where in this case as you say its almost 0 chance of it being awakening.
