Law cut Vergo into two in one hit on Punk Hazard.

As far as I know, Haki users can block Devil Fruit attacks. The best example
was when Rayleigh fought against Kizaru, in which he easily countered Kizaru's
sword with his Haki.

Why couldn't Vergo block Law's attack? Is Law's Devil Fruit immune against
Haki?

Is Law's Devil Fruit immune against Haki?


Law didn't just use his power to cut Vergo, he also cut him with his sword as
part of that. The combination of Law's power, his sword, and the Haki he used
through his sword, were enough to overwhelm Vergo's full body Haki and slice
him in two.

Haki is not a binary quality. Depending on the willpower and the strength of
the person, they can have stronger or weaker Haki. If Law's Haki had been too
weak, he wouldn't have been able to cut Vergo. However, if he used as much
Haki for his attack as Vergo used for his defense, then it would just become a
contest between Law's sword and Vergo's abs.

In One Piece, there are very few absolute powers. Luffy was able to punch
through the Snake Sisters' Haki by putting enough forces into his punch. No
one is immune to Haki, but Haki is not infallible either. Haki can be beaten
by Haki, and weak Haki can even be beaten by excessive force.

In this case, I believe it was a combination of Law's Haki and strength that
defeated Vergo's Haki and toughness.

**Haki isn't almighty.** Pure strength can still overcome even Haki. The best
example we have seen so far is when Luffy was able to punch harder than Boa
Marigold could coat herself in armament Haki in chapter 520. This was at the
time when Luffy didn't even know how to use Haki yet.

From this example, we can see that one doesn't need Haki to overcome Haki. The
same goes for Law. The combination of Law's power and his slash _were_ more
powerful than the power Vergo could ever summon to defend himself with.

Oda added this scene to prove how strong Law had become. He wasn't the weak
psycho child he once was. He had grown to be pretty strong and was determined
to defeat Doflamingo, and he showed us by defeating Vergo, who supposedly had
a pretty strong Haki.
