Since the timeskip, however, nearly every usage of Busoshoku has explicitly involved visible Hardening, with most of the ambiguous cases being with characters who wear dark clothing or use darkened weapons which make it difficult to tell in the black-and-white manga. Hardening was not shown until after the timeskip, and so prior to that, the coating of users' body parts and weapons was completely invisible. There is a degree of ambiguity around the nature of basic Busoshoku Haki usage. Rayleigh uses Busoshoku Haki to attack a Logia user. This Haki is often referred to as an "invisible armor". Because of this, this form of Haki is the most used in combat. This type of Haki allows its user to augment their body via their own spiritual energy, greatly increasing their power and resilience.

It was shown that Busoshoku Haki is very common in the New World, unlike in Paradise where Haki users are fairly rare and almost nobody knows about it. During the Summit War of Marineford, Busoshoku Haki was also used many times by Marines and pirates alike. The concept of using Haki to harden weapons was first shown by the Kuja, who were wielding Haki-imbued arrows. Afterwards, Rayleigh used Haki to stop Kizaru and even touched his Logia body. Later, on the Sabaody Archipelago, Sentomaru used Busoshoku Haki to attack Luffy, which made the Straw Hat Pirates think he was a Devil Fruit user due to their lack of knowledge about the ability.

It was used by Garp for the first time against Luffy to bypass his Devil Fruit powers and damage him in Water 7.

Because these were published as part of a composition, the haiku won’t appear in any journals, so I’d like to share them with the readers of this blog. It’s just a gut feeling of a single poet.


#Moon haiki full
I have always felt I could write more freely and easily during a full moon, though I have no proof of that. Often called the Wolf Moon or Old Moon, the full moon is always a magnicent display for us to observe. I’ve decided to post these haiku today because yesterday was the first full moon of the new year, 2015. Still, it was a true honor to be asked to use my haiku in a composition.
#Moon haiki download
It would be my dream to get a download of that performance, but enough time has passed that I believe that won’t happen.

Sadly, I’ve never gotten to hear the musical piece since I’m on the east coast and Clark College is in Vancouver, Washington. The work was premiered on Decemby the Clark College Women’s Choir (directed by April Duvic). These were used as lyrics for “Winter Moon” by Paul Carey, a piece for women’s chorus in 2011. In the summer of 2011, I was contacted by the American composer, Paul Carey, who asked permission to use the haiku for a commissioned composition. These haiku were first published Poets Online in response to a prompt for winter haiku.
