I was quite worried when I saw the episode name. I thought they were going to make it look like Coby could actually hold his own against Luffy for a bit when in the manga he just gets owned.

He was actually doing better at Water 7.
It was after the Ennies lobby incident when they returned to Water 7, before they set sail again.

I was surprised though. I mean the name of the damn episode is "For a Promise!! Luffy and Coby Clash!" and Coby gets 1hit pwned... so disappointing.

Haki is entirely selective.

When Raleigh is in the jail cell, he knocks out specifically the Auction House owner when he's about to slap the mermaid. Not even the guards with him notice any effects.

Meanwhile Raleigh knocks out strictly the female celestial dragon among the audience before she shoots the mermaid point blank.

Finally, after talking with hacchi and strawhat for a bit, raleigh glares and knocks out strictly the guards. Neither Law, Kid, or the strawhats even flinch at the wave of haki. It's beyond a doubt entirely selective and doesn't effect friendly units what so ever.

I re-watched the episode so I'm going off how it is, not simply memory.

PS, fun episode. # 397, I recommend rewatching it for the hell of it.

WOOPS LOL, I accidentally posted an screenshot from the future manga as evidence. Forgot this was the "anime" page and not the manga one. PM me if you want the comic that proves it beyond a doubt.



Are you kidding me? A majority of the whitebeards are nobody's who are weak enough to let shanks mere presence knock them out.

You're severely discounting the straw hats strength & resolve, which is sad because you've actually seen everything they've been able to persevere through.

The commanders and whitebeard are the only one's who could defeat the strawhats.

Disappointing, kind of. Coby still grew from it, and most of all instead of cowering on the sidelines he stood up to Straw Hat Luffy.

Coby has a bright future as Luffy's opponent in the Marines.

Maybe he'll be like how Gold Roger and Garp used to be. :]

rayleigh comments on how they must be very strong/determined or something in the auction house, when they do not faint for his haki.
he did not aim around the straw hats.
maybe that was just in the manga, but i thought it was in the anime too.
