[Question] Haki

[Rikud0 Sennin]

Devil Fruit users become weak/unable to use their ability when cuffed with seastone handcuffs.

But, throughout the series Luffy has been less and less affected by being in the water. In the beginning, just touching the water made him weak, but when he fought Hodi he stretched his arms very far into the sea and was unaffected by that.

I know, people are going to say that his body wasn't exposed, just his arm... But in terms of surface area exposed to water, his arm when stretched has much greater surface area than his body. And comparing that to the beginning, you can see that the effect of being in the sea has lessened.


Could it be possible to train yourself to be resistant to the seastone/sea? say, lie in a shallow pool of seawater on your back so you can still breath? Or have handcuffs and wear them for extended periods of time (obviously in a safe place).

If not, could a strong enough Armement Haki allow you to break out of the seastone cuffs? What are your thoughts

I think you can swim if you cover your whole body in haki like vergo

You're Probably right.


but then again... He did the same thing up against the kraken. And a lot of times in the fishman arc... like Fishing

Question was answered in the manga by Robin or Usopp when Luffy fought the Kraken.

They said something along the lines of: He is so strong, and his arm is in the water.

Implying that they're not used to this kind of power from Luffy exposed to water. So yes, they might can increase resistance up to knee deep water, but they can't become immune.

Okay thanks. What about A.Haki vs cuffs

 

[Dr Strangelove]

Nice thinking, you may be onto something there my friend
Nice work.

I thought about something similar, I mean, df users cannot use their powers if cuffed, but can they still fight hand to hand with CoA?

Shiki is a devil fruit user and he was locked up in Impel Down. His haki should be on similar level as the people that are on the level of the Admirals/Emperors since he's one of the great pirates captains besides Whitebeard/Roger. To escape from ID, he needed to cut off both his legs so haki doesn't help.
