How can Luffy retain elasticity in Gear 4, even when coated with

Guy is actually trying to inject logic to a show that has people eat fruits that give them powers and they can't swim.

I can't....

You are retarded.

Maybe it's a specific way his fruit powers interact with haki.

Haki is not some anti-df energy. It is exerting you sheer will onto others. You hit them because you are damn well going to hit them, you are unharmed because you are damn well not going to be hurt, it's like that.

He combined his haki with his df

You thought wrong

>>136069451
I guess that is acceptable, even though if "will" can make you hit Logia, even though they are fluid, "will" should also be able to hit Rubberman, even if they are rubber.

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, haki is all about your will against other person's will. If you are damn sure his bitch ass is getting defeated, no amount of coating will let him survive the attack.

Also, Luffy doesn't lose all of his elasticity in Gear 4 - he's just incredibly compressed, using haki to hold all that air in his muscles, so that it's all about a lot of power, released at once, like a rubber band snap. That's why Doflamingo quickly said he knows Luffy's weakness, that while he's faster and stronger, he no longer has any distance-based attacks, while it was Dofla's best form of attack.

And then Luffy showed that he did have one, and it could even follow Doflamingo in the air, punching his shit like a bitch he was.

Im not arguing that using Haki, he should not be elastic.

Im just arguing that while Doflamingo uses Haki, his "elastic defense" should be compromised, kinda like when his Grandad hit him in the head with Haki.

At that point it may be more a matter of physics as in gear 4 he is full of compressed air. Even if the Haki gets through his rubberiness the copressed air in him causes his body bounces him away on impact anyways.

Bad writing.

But it does as seen with Garp for example.
But Luffy succeeded in staying rubber at all time. We just dont know how yet.

Next question.

Haki doesn't null DF powers exactly, it just out will-powers the user into temporarily not activating it and reverting to normal, unless the other user is also a master will power.

Only yami no mi can null shit

It doesn't rob DF powers, it just lets you hit them.

Anybody here dislike Gear 4?
I was hoping for something a bit different

>>136069437
Fuck off, tumblr.

>>136069942

did they ever explain how that homing punch worked?

seastone and the yami yami no mi are the only things that can null df powers.

There are others case like Smoker vs Ace. They couldnt hit each other , but their powers werent null.

Well then you're an idiot

haki cancels haki and then Luffy's body is a sack of air that bounces off physical blows
