In the latest episode, we see a pure purple color at the tips of the string
attack. I've never seen this before. What is it?

I didn't think it was Busō-shoku no Haki, because that's black:

What is the purple stuff on Doflamingo's strings?


it's Busō-shoku no Haki (should be black but Toei since Punk Hazzard have
colored the CoA with that color).

For one it could be blood. Second, it can be armament haki since it varies
from person to person. Just like how Vergo's was purple in color and Luffy's
is black. Since we don't know much about them, I think it's safe to assume
that the color matches the person's power or personality.

It's Busō-shoku no Haki. Most Busō-shokus are black because they are on
something that's not light colored (skin or Doflamingo's strings).  
The only exceptions I've seen are Luffy and Chinjao. Doffy's shoe is Busō-
shoku'd so it's black, Vergo's staff is Busō-shoku'd so it's black, Vergo's
skin is Busō-shoku'd so it's purple.  
It may be that the color underneath chooses whether it's purple or black. It
may even just be the concentration of Haki.
