Let's get the record straight here....Luffy needed improved speed AND Observation Haki to be able to land blows on Katakuri. He needed to know what way Katakuri was going to dodge in order to know how to adjust his Python (pause). Therefore it's not him "completely ignoring" observation haki, he is using it at the highest level he has ever used it so far. Just look at the difference in the total length that his arm stretches in these sequences, as opposed to when he used the Culverin Cannon against Doflamingo. It's much shorter, because he's against an opponent who is unquestionably more skilled in observation haki, so he can't afford wasted movement.

Secondly, let's address you accusation that Katakuri's "forgot" how to use his haki and Devil Fruit. Clearly you don't understand when haki is being used by obvious hints Oda leaves, so let me point them out to you:

- In the panel where he says "I get it now", the entire background has blacked out, indicating that he is using haki. He then dodges the technique, which Luffy follows up with the Jet Culverin, which he still manages to block as he gets knocked backward....thanks to what else...haki.

- He then dodges Luffy's next attack (haki) counters with a more powerful technique using superior busoshoku haki combined with the stickiness of his devil fruit (which he used earlier in the fight to stick Luffy against a wall).

- He and Katakuri the exchange an array of punches, which he ultimately wins because his busoshoku haki is superior to Luffy's.

- He backflips, and the screen goes black again (haki), and this time you even get a sound effect in the panel! He then perfeclty counters Luffy's technique.

- Luffy uses Black Mamba, a Gatling-like technique, which he again completely blocks without taking any damage due to observation haki.

You really love to scream "plot armor! plot armor!" and act as if you have some kind of superior knowledge of the series, but you clearly comprehend very little to be making such abrasive comments to voice your displeasure over Oda's style. If you want to continue to hide behind random profiles and spout such nonsense because you're scared to use a regular account, I don't mind continuing to expose your lack of understanding.
