ONE PIECE GOLDThis will be a quick theory as I am currently working on a video to better demostrate this theory as it needs illustrations in order to be best understood. I know it doesn’t need to be said but SPOILERS below.
Now something that has always bothered me is how a select few Logia Users seem to be able to bypass blows or cuts from CoA Haki such as Sakazuki.
At this point in the Series we had assumed that everything a Logia secretes that he/she is in physical contact with is the body and therefore be harmed by CoA Haki. In fact we had assumed that this is the case with all DF’s until Trebol threw us this curve-ball:
This changes everything about the nature of Logia’s and Paramecia’s. Instead of CoA haki becoming the antidote to all DF’s we are now seeing it’s limitations.
To explain all of these I believe that CoA haki has to make physical contact with the body of the user in whichever state that happens to be in. Trebol’s method to avoid attacks has actually given us a glimps as to how Sakazuki remainded unharmed by Vista and Marco’s CoA attacks. Trebol is surrounded by mucus but because it isn’t his actual body he can’t be hurt by haki if the opponent doesn’t hit his body. This is actually more difficult to see in a Logia because their body appears indistinguishable from their secretions.
Now we know that everything a Logia creates isn’t necessarily their body. There are a few examples that demonstrate this but the most obvious one was when Tashigi was fighting Monet the whole Biscuit Room was filled with snow created by Monet and she kept moving about in a snow medium, preventing Tashigi from landing a blow on Monet’s body directly.
The anime shows this better
Now I believe that once a Logia user can master their abilities they can move about in their power’s medium at near light-speed. I also believe that this is how Sakazuki was able to avoid taking damage from Vista and Marco. A split second before they hit him Sakazuki instinctively moved his body out of the way, however non-bodily lava material was still there when the blows made contact.
*Theory by Greatest_Takoyaki
It make some sens, but there is hoke in your theory, like where did he moved his body? I understand trebol, just dodge it within the mucus, monet was hiding in snow, but Sakazuki was himself, I mean did he hide his left shoulder inside his right shoulder? Because if that was the case, Smoker would have been way stronger vs Virgo
there are lots of hole in your theory. Remember Smoker vs Vergo and what Vergo said to smoker about haki power. In Monet case there were snow all over lying that she created making temperature low.she can turn herself into snow and move. you can’t tell where is she because there is snow all over. It’s not like passing through snows. and about paramecia, Luffy wasn’t able to hit because his punches were not landing on terebol’s body.
sorry about my bad English…
kuzan was impaled by whie beard’s spear and could still rematerialize
also it sucks that snot gets to be logia while venom hydra dude was only paramecia
Trebol was not a logia. Think of him as a snot version of Magellan – could use the “ooze” to move, use it to cover his body as an armour and fire is as a projectile but unable to actually materialise as the snot/poison.
The reason Trebol could not be hit was because he used the snot as an armour to make himself look bigger than he actually was.
Can’t explain the haki v logia – especially in Akainu’s case.
