Also, from a Haki standpoint, it seems the all the advanced colors of Haki share a similiarity. Advanced Observation requires you to be calm and collected, Advanced Armament requires you to focus on the flow of Haki along your body, and Conqueror’s seems to follow the same emphasis on the flow of Haki control.
All of which, I believe, are connected in such a way as to build the ultimate Conqueror. All of Luffy’s Haki blooms in the New World have been paving way to his Conqueror’s Haki mastery.
In Act 1, when Luffy was taken down by Kaido’s Thunder Bagua, Luffy activated his Conqueror’s Haki while unconscious. I see this as Luffy’s Conqueror’s Haki was reacting to Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki-infused attack.
Then, Luffy just barely dodges the thunder bagua in Chapter 1001; soon after, Luffy passes out again after receiving the Ragnarok in Chapter 1009 from Kaido. Each time Luffy received an attack embued with Conqueror’s, Luffy got closer and closer to understanding the mechanics of Conqueror’s Haki.
All of this has, once again, been building up to the idea that Luffy has been accruing his capability as a Conqueror. Facing off against a Conqueror in combat, and continuing to get back up on your feet is what Luffy is all about. That’s his specialty.
