why not beat shark and keep arm?

Or as I said. Oda is pulling shit out of his ass as the story goes on and developing haki and devil fruits more and more to draw ppl in.
AKA no one had haki in first half of story, only rare few, shanks had haki but lost arm (No one had armament haki shown until isle of women)
Logia fruit became too rigged until they met their counters (enel vs luffy) (movie, that candy guy vs luffy with flour) So Oda made haki for everyone.

I can name more examples

sky island mantra was a form of haki

ik it was.
I said I had more examples.

i dont think hes pulling everything out of his ass

some things sure but most of the stuff is too well orchestrated plotwise to make me think so

but then again i am also kinda biased as one piece is my all time favorite manga out there

Oda only knows beginning and end and ofcourse he's making stuff up inbetween. How else would luffy beat a logia type such as Borsalino Or Akainu. I personally feel he incorporated haki really well. A lot better then bleach and forbringers (is that what it was) lols...that's besides the point. The whole thing with shanks and his arm was a mistake but oda found a way to make shanks losing an arm not so bad.

also it makes sense haki wasnt im the 1st half

1st half was more about which devil fruit users could gauge out its full potential

beyond that, in the new world, only ppl who can use haki can survive. ppl who are too overconfident in their devil fruit will just get fucking owned and have no chance

my point exactly..

i think haki has become an essential part of the story

and i am assuming that these are just the basic haki. i am sure that ppl have learned how to use their haki to their FULL potential

we saw a bit of that when vergo is known to have unusually harder defensive armament haki

im sure these basic haki can be evolved

like imagine... if conquerors haki was able to be evolved so much that even those who are normally immune can be affected mildly ( not passing out but somehow affecting their combat abilities)

i bet shanks has that

also personally i love this currwnt arc

doflamingo is one of the scariest villains reminds me of joker from dark knight movie

he is completely insane and vile by nature

he could not fathom why his father would give up his position as a celestial dragon and his father did not think of possible consequences

a series of unfortunate events has forged doflamingo to be what he is now, a villain who hates the world and intends to kill every man alive

when luffy and doflamingo start fighting seriously, it will be another clash of ideals and beliefs like that of luffy vs croc where croc never trust anyone but luffy trusts everyone

also going beyond that

haki can be enhanced by certaun devil fruits. i assume we will se even more of this later on.

it was previously seen with enels lightning fruit and mantra to see what was going on in the whole entire island
