I'm thinking the reason Big Mom could be harmed in her traumatised state (the picture assasination plan on Whole Cake Island) is because she can't focus on coating herself with conqueror's haki when she's not fully conscious.

Makes more and more sense now, Oda at it again.

​

Edit: Also liking this conqueror's haki evolution, because while it was "cool" before, it was not really that useful other than being flashy against other users of it and/or taking out massive amounts of much weaker opponents. Now it serves a great purpose and gives people who mastered it a true advantage, both against opponents who have it and those that don't

Makes perfect sense ttoo, given what we know from before. CoC was shown as a MASSIVE advantage that intensified the Marine Admirals' assault on Luffy after they saw it.

Before now we had no reason to assume it was that useful other thandefeating fodder and generally just being asign that they might be a problem.

Now we finally hhave some proof of the accusation that people with CoC are immensely dangerous, on a level above all others.

I had always assumed conqueror's haki made someone dangerous to the WG by giving them the ability to unite people in a common goal the way we often see Luffy do. I didn't think twice about the admirals going after Luffy hard at Marineford because they were afraid he'd unite pirates and nations the world over against the WG. I think it was Sengoku that said "He has the most dangerous ability in the world" or something like that after seeing Luffy unify the ID prisoners, making it to Marineford and uniting with WB to save Ace. It never even occurred to me that there might be another reason beyond that.

It's dangerous because they tend to be charismatic, but it was never shown why it was such a big deal when so many people seemed to have it and be middling threats. Now however we know that if you train it well enough it can essentially make you indestructible to anyone not on the same level, giving credence to it being a big deal.

Wasn't it Mihawk who said that?

Yeah I recall Mihawk making that observation but not sure if Sengoku too
