One Piece spoilers’ latest Haki revelations put Kaido’s Gear 5 comment in a negative light

The recent spoilers for chapter 1122 of One Piece have sparked excitement among fans, particularly with the enigmatic Haki attack featuring the Gorosei and Emeth. These spoilers hint at the possibility of Joy Boy’s Haki being contained within Luffy’s Devil Fruit and potentially playing a significant role in his Gear 5 transformation during the Wano Country arc in his battle against Kaido.

The recent revelation has caused fans to reassess Kaido’s previous claim of being unable to recognize Luffy’s Haki, and has raised doubts about what was previously seen as a definite victory for Luffy. It is now possible that external circumstances may have played a role in the outcome.

According to spoilers for One Piece chapter 1122, Emeth is currently battling all 5 members of the Gorosei. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn has fully recovered from the injuries inflicted by Bonney and Luffy, while Saint Ethanbaron Nusjuro has also recuperated from the damage caused by Atlas. Additionally, Saint Marcus Mars, who was previously launched away from Egghead Island, has now returned to the fight.

Amidst the intense battle, Emeth unleashes a powerful Haki attack that had been sealed by Joy Boy in the past. While the spoilers do not reveal the exact type of Haki being used, many fans believe it to be Conqueror’s Haki as Armament Haki would be ineffective against the Gorosei.

Emeth’s attack was incredibly potent, causing all of the Gorosei except Saturn to be forcefully pushed back into the Mariejois chamber, their usual location. However, the details in the spoilers are not clear about whether Emeth physically overpowered the Gorosei or simply persuaded them to retreat due to the dire circumstances. Additionally, fans are unsure if the Gorosei sustained any injuries from Emeth’s final strike.

After the revelation about Joy Boy’s sealing of his Haki in Emeth, fans are revisiting the Luffy vs Kaido fight from the Wano arc, during which Luffy unveiled his Gear 5. When Luffy first transformed into this state, Kaido was unable to identify his Haki and questioned the source of the intense power.

Following the release of chapter 1122, there has been speculation among fans that Luffy’s Devil Fruit may contain Joy Boy’s Haki, similar to how Emeth’s Haki was sealed. This theory stems from Kaido’s inability to sense Luffy’s Haki, with some believing that what he sensed was actually Joy Boy’s presence rather than Luffy’s.

The fan community has been engaged in a heated debate due to this speculation. While some celebrated the initial interpretation of Luffy’s Gear 5 transformation as a symbol of his progress and power, others saw it as a major personal milestone in his fight against Kaido.

Nevertheless, the emerging theory surrounding Joy Boy’s Haki and its involvement in this transformation presents it in a slightly unfavorable manner. It implies that Luffy may have depended on Joy Boy’s dormant power rather than his own skills to defeat Kaido.

As a result, this interpretation could diminish the importance of Luffy’s win, as it suggests that the success was not entirely his doing, but rather influenced by external factors outside of his control.

The most recent One Piece spoilers reveal that Luffy’s Gear 5 was possibly inspired by Joy Boy’s Haki, raising doubts about the true extent of Luffy’s own strength. This raises the question of how much of his power truly belongs to him. As a result, his defeat of Kaido may be viewed as less significant, as external factors may have heavily influenced the outcome.
