Caesar Clown would actually beat him because without oxygen he can't use fire so his DF is nullified.Blame the haki issue on Oda not having Haki properly planned out. No way you are one of the top commanders of a Yonkou crew and not know haki. People like Tashigi and fodders from the coliseum have Haki.....
This would mean if Ace were in Punk Hazard instead of Luffy he would get destroyed by the likes of Caesar Clown. Which is pathetic for someone with that high a rank in WB's crew.
Everybody and their mothers have haki.
Ace is intended to have Haki, Crocodile as well. You don't survive in the new world without atleast CoA, let alone thrive in it.
Btw Luffy >= Ace IMO.
I'm sure the OP meant Armament Haki specifically but there is proof Ace used Conqueror's Haki.Current Luffy is way stronger than Ace.
There is no indication that Ace can use haki. But by hype as a WB commander he should be able to use basic haki.
The reason why people say he didn't plan it is because there is no way in hell shanks should have had Hus arm bitten off by a lousy sea monster among other things.Ace isn't weak.....and why does everyone think Oda of all people didn't plan out haki of all things? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard about OP.....
Ace fruit can burn each gear of luffy and was hell stronger in strength than luffy and lets just not talk about Ace haki bcoz author had not developed that powerup at that tym.How is Ace>Luffy?
Idunno OP asked if he can use haki in general wasn't specific. And yeah but he used conquerors haki unconsciously as a kid, we don't know if he ever mastered it and can use it at will.I'm sure the OP meant Armament Haki specifically but there is proof Ace used Conqueror's Haki.
Did you just say that Ace's physical strength is better than Luffy's? Gear 4 Luffy has much better feats than Ace.Ace fruit can burn each gear of luffy and was hell stronger in strength than luffy and lets just not talk about Ace haki bcoz author had not developed that powerup at that tym.
Even base Luffy has better feats in strength.Did you just say that Ace's physical strength is better than Luffy's? Gear 4 Luffy has much better feats than Ace.
Then why we didn't saw any black fist in war if everything was planned from chp1.Oda had haki planned since chapter one where Shanks scared away the sea monster.
But the reader is experiencing everything through the eyes of the strawhats. And 'we' learned about haki when Rayleigh told us about it. Even though it was already being used before that, it was just that we couldn't 'understand' it yet.
If Oda would redo the war of the best now, we would see a lot of people with black fists and weapons, because now we know how it works.
Just like we do when we reread Skypea and see mantra or Boa's snake sisters use CoA.
Oda not planning something... Those words should be punishable with an eternal ban in this section.
Ya sorry it is, but he still can be burned from his fire. Which makes him stronger.Did you just say that Ace's physical strength is better than Luffy's? Gear 4 Luffy has much better feats than Ace.
Yea Luffy is just going to stand there and let Ace's attacks hit him.Ya sorry it is, but he still can be burned from his fire. Which makes him stronger.
Essentially this is what I am trying to say, but I believe he just didn't have the details fully thought out. I already said he had the concept down.Oda had haki planned since chapter one where Shanks scared away the sea monster.

If you are of a higher calibre in all stats, having a DF mismatch shouldn't result in a loss. Ace shouldn't even need his DF to beat Caesar his base attacks should be good enough for Caesar. They are not even close to the same tier. Look what Van Auger said about AceCaesar Clown would actually beat him because without oxygen he can't use fire so his DF is nullified.
Yea Like even vice Versa will happen.......Yea Luffy is just going to stand there and let Ace's attacks hit him.

And this is what I meant by Croc and Ace intended to have haki. Just because they weren't shown with it pre skip means nothing.
I honestly believe armament hardening is a late edition, there is literally no excuse to not see it in the war among so many top tiers, none at all. I can give a pass for the other arcs cause of the SH excuse but no...not the war.

^this is for all of you saying Ace is too dependent on his fruit.
Luffy is much faster than Ace though. Ace doesn't have the speed feats to dodge G2 or G4 attacks.Yea Like even vice Versa will happen.......
We can't say anything abt his speed and there is always an option of using observation haki to tackle with speed problemLuffy is much faster than Ace though. Ace doesn't have the speed feats to dodge G2 or G4 attacks.
