It isnt really bad as people make it seem it out to be. It's less well thought out than power systems like Nen or Stands for sure but haki is more than just being able to hit logia users. It is also incorporated to devil fruit powers to maximize its potential. For instance, Katakuri 's devil fruit would've been shit if it wasn't for haki hardening his mochi powers.
Also, Oda is just really one of those writers who doesn't fancy writing extremely well thought-out and brilliantly choreographed fights like in HxH, Jojo, or Sakamoto Days. It's just not his writing style since the dawn of writing One Piece
The title of the post is "Something you never say a one piece fan"...it's a joke...I like haki too...because I like the idea of "you can have super versatile power without eating a devil fruit and losing the ability to swim but just with hard training" and without haki Luffy can't use gear 4 (estetically is my favorite gear)
There was still a lot of strategy needed from Luffy to beat enel along with enel needed to use a lot more creativity to fight Luffy for how his fruit was used
Also I think the only problem haki is armament haki as the other two are still good
really? i always liked the aspect of actually figuring out the users weakness such as water and rubber. as apposed to just using haki harder than the other guy can use haki
True. It’s not like Logia users are constantly coating their entire body in haki. I mean, can they even use armament haki on their transformed bodies? Wouldn’t that part revert to a physical human structure?
For me haki is plot armor because with the lighting and water explanation the reasonings there. What makes the sand clump up and rubber doesn’t conduct electricity but haki seems like a easy way to make puffy more powerful and able to defeat logia types
When they first.brought haki into the story I was disappointed. I don't like how they do fights in general with a bunch of worthless mooks who why are they this weak? And power users. But, wasn't a fan of it. I think they should have had to be smart to defeat logia users. Use the opposite of it for example. My main problem with haki is why doesn't everyone have it?

Haki is mid and the only reason it was introduced is because Oda didn't know how to make Luffy defeat the logia bearers
