This must be what Kaido was referring to when he said haki trumps everything else. We know haki can cancel DF powers but we've never seen a scale as grand as canceling awakened Zoan transformations to the point he also deported 3 of the gramps tryna jump the border. Joyboy's haki was so good it sent Imu spiraling back to their trauma from 800 years ago and had to be taken care of their personal nurse (but there's another Imu-looking person with them?)
I mean sealing haki makes sense right? How else could master swordsmen forge their blades black permanently? I have always assumed that they are infusing and then sealing their haki inside their blade bit by bit every time they've been using their swords.
Koby I love you my guy and your dreams are now bigger than ever but you're just not reaching Luffy's level to be his equal. A mid diff at best on EOS but I still support you because you're one of the few decent guys left in the Navy.
As for the most important bit of lore here, Luffy has always dismissed being mistaken as a g** with his Gear 5 appearance but this one moment with Emeth he's taken it seriously. Even if he doesn't follow up with this immediately, it is important that he now knows his fruit and form has a historical significance and he would probably have to straighten out the details once he's in Elbaf because Nika is heavily worshipped over there so there won't be avoiding discussing it.
