Whoever called Barty's Barrier to assist in the pushing totally got it. I like the idea of all the Haki users being the only ones that can push the cage. I don't think anyone should be surprised at Kin'emon and Kanjuro possessing Haki. They're afterall famed samurai from a famed samurai country located in the New World. Haki has been said to be relatively common for New World combatants, just like how DF abilities were relatively common in the Grandline compared to the Blues.

The idea that some random Marines can use haki though was a bit meh to me. I guess if all Marines vice-admiral and above can use haki, it's probably not a stretch for other lower ranked marines to be able to use some basic haki.

Viola standing up against Doffy was definitely a surprise. Although like I previously mentioned in my blog, as expected no one else useful bothers to go against Doffy, and here we have the 2 royal ladies trying to do that. Serious Isshou, why don't you fucking attack Doffy instead of trying to push the damn cage. Grahhhh

Still, I actually hope that Viola does something completely unexpectedly amazing and ACTUALLY put up a fight against Doffy. Heck, I'd like to see her actually having an edge over Doffy and surprising the hell out of him. I really can't see those eye whales doing anything to Doffy, but who knows what other wacky abilities she might have up her sleeves. Afterall, she WAS an executive, and one can assume her combat capabilities to be at least on par with some of the other executives. Maybe she moves super fast, and with her Senringan, she can dodge everything Doffy throws at her. But it will be nice seeing her able to get some revenge for her sis.
