We recently learned that, in regards to Observation Haki, Luffy is more proficient in sensing people’s emotions or intent than predicting movement itself (Chapter 894).
Given the recent explanation I was wondering how it would work its way into the story and I believe it did in the last Chapter 895!
There wasn’t much dialog in the chapter but one bit that stood out to me was when Luffy said,”This sucks I’m so hungry!!” It just felt out of place in the pacing of the chapter but I think this make sense of it… Luffy isn’t hungry, Katakuri is!
Luffy is using his observation so intensely he spoke aloud the thoughts or feelings of hunger that Katakuri is having. Katakuri is also visibly bothered when Luffy stated it too.
We know Luffy is specifically trying to expand on his Observation right now and we know Luffy will also just say whatever is on his mind. This would have it make a lot of sense and be a cool glimpse into how Luffy’s Observation will develop.
Luffy knowing that Katakuri is desperately hungry will play into him weakening (like Big Mom)and Luffy ultimately winning the fight..because of his new found Observation Haki!
