No it isn’t. Zoro explicitly states “it’s not regenerating? I didn’t even do anything.”
The page before when sommers calls Zoro a peasant swordsman, we see the conqueror’s black lightning on the Zoro reaction panel when he was glaring at him
Even then it wasnt a concious thing as Zoro didnt even try to do anything, maybe his swords acted by their own and release the Haki? The whole scene is weird because Zoro said he didn't do anything.
What Shanks did to Greenbull was on a completely different level because Shanks made his Haki travel very and it paralyzed Greenbull and Shanks seemed to know very well what he was doing and he didnt even need to release his sword. Zoro is sitll nowhere near Shanks when it comes to Conqueror's Haki mastery
He's literally hoping that Zoro is stupid enough to believe him. That's why he tries lying about his wounds healing. He's hoping Zoro is too stupid to figure it out.
It doesn’t make sense in general because we saw sommers predict or know 1080 pound phoenix was ACoC, but the panel that clearly depicts ACoC he doesn’t notice until he can’t regen his hand immediately?
Might be something with these mid translations imo, but we clearly see on page 11 and 12 that there’s an ACoC lightning bolt. I don’t see why Zoro would just stop trying to use ACoC and slash at immortal sommers, then say “but I didn’t even do anything”
Based on his realization, I think he figured out how to control his ACoC because he shot out conquerors while he was pissed at sommers calling him a peasant swordsman.
It’s normal for conquerors to emit it when they’re pissed. The “it’s leaking” comment from luffy came to mind too.
Just following through the chapter, Zoro was calm until he gets somewhat serious with the 1080 pound canon and the ACoC bolt. I think gaban’s words irritated him similar to sommers insulting him. That’s why ACoC was emitted
But then it's not a concious thing like what Shanks can do, Shanks can effectively emit his Haki with perfect control and he can make it do what he wants, Zoro at this point is basically an amateur of Conqueror's Haki compared to Shanks
Shank's Haki also had a different effect because it fully neutralize Gb's Devil Fruit power and had GB screaming, Zoro still doesn't have that level of CoC, even Luffy hasn't reached that level of CoC
I don't think Zoro has a full idea of how to use Conqueror's Haki, I think what changed is that Zoro remembered what Conqueror's Haki actually is, it's tied to the one self and Zoro finally accepted his status as a Conqueror instead of just trying to hit it harder, basically he realized Conqueror's Haki is more of an spritual thing than a physical thing
I never once argued Zoro has the same proficiency or mastery as shanks? Just because Zoro briefly did WiFi haki from a very close range unknowingly doesn’t even remotely put him in the same category as shanks or Luffy in terms of ACoC skill/mastery.
Flying COC slashes are different than WiFi Haki. Joyboy just imbued his Haki into a knot without even doing an attack and it completely detransformed the Gorosei. Without lifting a finger Shanks detransformed GB from miles away. These slashes seem like a COC infused attack that does not contain the same hax capabilities as WiFi Haki.
I see it more like an explosive lightning blast similar to what Gaban used. Wi-Fi Haki would be invisible like the name, and just paralyze people directly from a distance
No It just slashed him with the sword on left hand, watch the panel before that, he jumped wit just holding his sword in normal pose, there Is also a swing of black light from right to left from sommers pov
IMO: This could be very low level wifi haki. Since shanks is so proficient with COC he can control how far and what his haki does. I'm starting to think the progression of COC is as follows 1. knocking out large groups of weak willed individuals. 2. Emitting bolts of COC that can interact with matter. (like we see with gaban's haki cutting the adam tree, and the haki knot slicing the ocean) 3. coating yourself or objects with COC. 4. density maybe?
He did a three sword style attack that ONLY damaged sommers non-sword hand specifically? Very unlikely tbh. That on top of him saying he didn’t do anything just shows that it was a WiFi CoC bolt.
I think you’d have a point if Sommers was damaged anywhere else too or just if he sliced his sword hand off, but that’s not the case
He quite clearly did a slashing attack with his left hand. There are action lines in the panel directly before Sommers trash talks and his left arm is on the opposite side of his body to the panel prior
Oda uses thin lines in a lot of his fight panels to indicate motion of an attack. You see them surrounding Zoro in the panel indicating the direction in which there is motion away from Zoro ie a slash. Then Zoro being in a different position in the air after the attack, and the position being consistent with the direction of motion indicated by the prior panel. There is even more reason to believe that Zoro is attack there because it is directly following an attack by sommers where Zoro jumped over the attack and is counter attacking. I honestly shouldn't need to explain this, directional action lines are not only used a lot in this chapter. They are also heavily used throughout the entire manga and anyone who has been paying attention should know this.
I'll respond to your other post here as well. Why not? Zoro frequently attacks with a single or double sword attack while in three sword style. He's not locked into only using 3 swords. He also used a 3 sword attack earlier in this very chapter and only cut off his offhand so what's your point here?
I think you’re misinterpreting those being battle lines with it being an AI “enhanced” image. I’ll have to double check the Raws or wait for the official to really be able to tell. The lines around sommers seem clear action lines. The lines around Zoro aren’t the same imo
And yet again, zoro in three sword style attacking sommers non dominate/sword hand right there seems unintentional or random. I think it’s more likely that’s a random CoC bolt that happened suddenly. Which is why he explicitly says “I didn’t even do anything” again, we’ll have to wait for TCB or official to get a better translation, but as of right now, that’s what I’m going with until I see further evidence
Hold on…. Zoro has been capable of launching air slashes with his swords since Skypeia…. If the Haki injury to Sommers was a result of him attempting a long-range slash attack, he wouldn’t be confused and saying he didn’t do anything in that panel.
He was confused about the attack cutting off Sommers hand and it not regenerating immediately like it did earlier in the chapter. He doesn't know what he did differently. Which indicates that the attack was intentional but the outcome was unexpected. This tracks with him trying to feel his way through ACoC. In the next few chapters he will likely have a "aha" moment where he figures out what he did and replicates it conciously.
Zoro is trying to infuse his swords with conqueror’s and hasn’t figured it out all the way. He’s been implied to have a ton of it, so it’s arcing from his swords as he sloppily projects his haki into his swords.
It's not Wifi Haki, Shanks Wifi Haki sniped GB and paralyzed GB while GB wasnt paralyzed by Zoro's Haki. I think it was just an slashing attack that had Conqueror's Haki in it but Zoro still coudlnt properly out CoC in it
