Still, I really hate the idea of Zoro supposedly not going all out simply because Monet is female. Sanji's chauvinism/sexism is somewhat funny (since his is under a veil of chivalry...even if he objectifies women worse than ever), but Zoro's, if it exists, would go beyond the threshold of comedy and becoming downright demeaning. |

CoC does that mean the Overlord's haki? not sure about the "official names". Anyway, I highly doubt any strawhat other than Luffy has it. Besides this couldn't have been it, seeing how Monet actually WAS able to move afterwards.
Besides, Tashigi explained that it was pure fear. |

What I found interesting was the revelation that Zoro actually told Tashigi she resembled Kuina all the way back in Alabasta. I don't think that scene was ever shown.
But yeah, some Zoro awesomeness is always nice to see. Tashigi wasn't bad either but she's far from Zoro's level. If Zoro was using haki in that slice against Monet, that would've been gruesome. Well that's one foe taken care of, that just leaves Vergo and Caesar. Shinokuni can't exactly be "defeated".

After all, if Luffy is the next Roger, then Zoro is the next Raleigh. Plus, when Luffy used CoC during the fight against Hordy, Zoro mentioned that if Luffy couldn't do that, then they'd have to get a new captain. I took that as meaning that he, Zoro, would take over if Luffy didn't have CoC, since he had it.

Luffy will inhale an island's worth of air and then, in combination with Haki, will blow Shinokuni away, disassembling the creature to the point were it can't reform.
Or, he'll simply befriend it and Shinokuni will be the new nakama . |

Huh, wasn't expecting a chapter to arrive this early. Anyways, it was alright. And honestly, I really wonder how people EVER doubted that Zoro could use haki in the first place. It was even confirmed by Luffy right after he made the alliance with Law, for crying out loud!
Also, it was nice knowing you, Monet. She went down pretty quickly, but at least she actually somewhat lasted in a battle unlike a certain drunken octopus from the previous arc who also had a lot of prior build-up. Anyways, next chapter will probably focus on either Smoker or Luffy next..... Quote:
Personally, I think he was just intimidating her. It's not like conqueror's haki is the ONLY way to intimidate enemies, after all. He could have just as easily used his "sakki" (killing intent) to freeze her in her tracks (uh, no pun intended, of course ). Actually, I'm a little surprised that nobody else commented on Tashigi using Soru. So that means she was also trained in Rokushiki, then. I wonder if she can use all six of those techniques by now....? |

So Zoro's training under Mihawk possibly comes into play (the ability to cut logias), and I guess since Oda rarely kills off his characters that the Happy Harpy has simply been KOed by Tashigi's attack (personally I thought she was far too monstrous and evil to be a new nakama).

We barely know anything about Rogers crew abilities and Haki usage so to say that is way too early. He could of well been using Haki since he survived till the end. Rayleigh probably told Buggy n Shanks about Haki and how to use it so it was up to them if they used it or not.

Oh, I forgot to comment on the ministory earlier!
LOL, looks like Caribou's brother lost to that commodore, after all (so I guess that proves that there ARE G5 marines below the VA level who aren't pure fodder). And it figures that ol' Muddy would abandon his bro just like that (he's THAT kind of dirty bastard, after all). I am curious as to where our swampy friend's destination lies, though..... |
