472 is out!

The One Piece Wiki cites that Haki is found in every living being within the one piece world and proper training can awaken it. It's not genetics, but rather the experiences, a "proper shock" or the training they endure. Luffy & zoro have essentially gone through the exact same trials, many times leaving within inches of death, but only to grow stronger.

The wiki also cites that, "Whilst inexperienced users [of haki] are restricted to merely overpowering the will of one individual" which describes what happened at seabody perfectly since zoro isn't fully aware of his haki yet, just as Luffy wasn't for the longest time.

it was a valid argument
i just think its way too early for zoro to awaken haki
he would have went through his training with mihawk for nothing

Hell, I'll even agree with you. It may be too early, He may never even acquire haki. Anything could happen. But from what I can tell all the evidence suggests that he showed early signs of it at seabody.

I also feel like two years with hawk eye could have complimented that haki. Or at the very least, zoro's haki is soon to come given some kind of traumatic event, etc.

Anywho, I think we're beating a dead horse at this point. Unless anybody else wants to throw in their opinion or if you have something new to add, I'm happy with waiting on the manga to progress =P

anything goes from this point on
im just throwing ideas/opinions out there
was fun discussing this with u

and yea i hope zoro will acquire haki

wiki is mostly a reliable source w/ 9 parts fact and 1 part opinion. And it is an opinion that Zoro has displayed haki. That is not a fact. We have seen all the uses of haki and have been giving explanation. Also there is no mention of the bolded part in the manga. that is one of those opinion parts.

If you'd care to cite or explain the "intent to kill" you mentioned earlier, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, it appears that shanks used haki on the seaking. And what zoro did appears to be identical to what shanks used.

Once you demonstrate something else and it's adequately cited from the storyline, I'll believe you whole heartedly.

Idk what seabody is :G . but killing intent is an aura that a person gives off. which explains everything. It doesn't resemble haki as no one got knocked out. Nor did they animate it like haki where it had a blast coming from Zoro like haki has been animated thus far. And yes the animators would know if it was haki or not to know if they needed to do the "blast" since they do speak to Oda about these things..

usually theres a small zoom in zoom out animation
plus is makes the loud blowing sound

Killing intent is like the atmosphere or aura around a person. There has been no proof to your claims so it is the opposite. when there is proof then you can come to me and say that what zoro did was haki. Until then, it remains a no.



There is also an actual wave you can see when Rayleigh does it as well =P
