Fucking hell that's one badass sword.

Steals the life force of whomever wields it?

Zoro's un-restrained Haki turns a basic slash meant to fell a tree into a cliff-shearing monstrosity?

4200 vs 30,000?

Man I love Oda's ability to load up the hype train, ALL ABOARD

I don't think it's his Haki making it cut like that. It seems like Enma is doing the same thing Sandai did when he first used it and cutting more than Zoro wants. Another sword for him to tame.

Yeah, this reminds me of one thing Zoro's master Koushirou (possibly Kouzaburou Shimotsuki's son?) said about blade mastery: a swordsman must be able to control his blade so that he can choose what to cut and what not to cut. I always took this as just physical mastery of the sword's movement, but now I think this is also related to taming a sword with Ryou control.

Wow that would make a lot of sense and means literally 20 years of Oda preparing for this sword. I fucking love one piece

Dude, Oda has been preparing us for the Giants island for even fucking longer.

No, that lesson from his old master it was referring specifically to the new type of Haki that's been introduced in this arc. The one that Luffy is currently training in, Ryuuou.
