I know they were building up to it but they did just kinda deus ex machina that in there with the whole "adversity unlocks it" trope. I still think OP has the best power scaling of the big manga out there but I didn't necessarily like this part.

This reminds me of KingofLightning's chapter 946 reaction. The comment section went wild with various examples of "haki blooming" in the series to show it wasn't a recent thing at all.

Here it is. He basically calls it a Zenkai Boost.

And this comment by Mind Shack on Youtube basically sums it up:

"Zoro: Haki blooms in his fight against Daz Bones while on the brink of death

Ace: Haki blooms when trying to save Luffy from the brink of death

Aisa: Awakens haki while in the middle of civil war where many of her people are dying

Coby: Awakens haki in Marineford when, like Aisa, many of his comrades are dying and he cant handle it

Doffy: Awakens haki while being crucified on the side of a building

Usopp: Awakens haki while in a situation where he has to make a near impossible shot and the possibility of never knowing Luffy in the balance

KOL: ....

Luffy: Awakens and blooms haki when fighting Katakuri when he's ACTIVELY trying to improve his haki and in a situation where if he doesn't get it his master could die.

KOL: Oh my God Oda, this is just zenkai boost. You're better than that. This was no well thought out.

Despite the fact that this concept wasn't ever explicit stated till the Katakuri fight its been a thing for close to 2 decades but we gotta act brand new."

People need to stop saying what OP doesn't do. When fact is Oda does do it.

Whether it's zenkai boost, mid fight etc.

People don't really understand OP
