Talk:Haki/Kenbunshoku Haki

Kenbunshoku Haki & Users
There have been a few instances of people using Kenbunshoku Haki but they aren't listed on the wiki. It seems users of this ability are able to discern opponents' strengths. First we must go back to when Rayleigh gauged the strength of the animals on Rusukaina island.

It is also described as the ability to feel ones presence more strongly.

Blackbeard was the first to confrim this in two instances, where he guaged Luffy's Haki. So how could he not have Haki himself?

Bellamy's recent showings also confirm this. So why is he not listed as having Kenbunshoku Haki? Him going to Skypia also gives further evidence to this, where there are prevalent Mantra users.

and also showed he precognitive ability when he detected Elizabello's king Punch.

Smoker gauged Tashigi's Haki and compared it with Law.

Dolfamingo has also shown use of this ability when he sensed Fujitora would intervine when Zoro was about to attack.

And finally an instance where Zoro used Kenbunshoku Haki was when he sensed Vergo's presence quoting he felt a strange aura.

First off, mangareader doesn't work for the USA, so good luck getting people to find the pages themselves.

Blackbeard, yes.

Bellamy, no. Anyone who knew what Haki is could tell Luffy used it, and that was not precognition,

Tashigi, no. She's been shown to have Busoshoku, but not Kenbunshoku.

Doflamingo, maybe. It's unclear from just that example.

And Zoro is already listed as a user, so why bring him up again?

First example for Blackbeard is a bad translation. Second example could have meant anything. SeaTerror (talk) 09:09, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

I've changed all the links.

I didn't say Tashigi has Kenbunshoku, I said Smoker has it. Although you could argue a case for Tashigi having it when she deflected a cannonball without using her eyesight. Which can be seen here:

Bellamy hadn't seen Luffy use Haki prior, so you're point makes no sense. Him also going to Skypia is good evidence to him knowing how to use it.

Fair play on Doflamingo and Zoro.

Not taking a side here, but what's the translation issue with Blackbeard? He specifically refers to Luffy's haki in the Chapter 234 raw - it's the first mention of haki in the series. 18:15, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

That statement could just as easily be a comment about the kind of appearance he gives off. 18:44, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Then let's just ask Klobis to check. If it is the same word, then it is not going to be coincidence.

21:09, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

The word haki was used? SeaTerror (talk) 22:24, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

In the translation linked above, the word chi is used, but that'll be because haki wasn't a thing then.
