Buggy vs Zoro nowadays? Would being cut with haki even hurt Buggy?

[Warmmedown]

Even before haki, maybe Zoro could just beat Buggy up without his swords. But how about now? Is haki alone enough to kill Buggy? Or could Buggy react fast enough to it and just split in time?

Or does he not even need to do that? Usually when haki hurts a logia/paramecia, it's because it's able to negate them being made of a particular material (eg rubby, diamond, ice), right? But in Buggy's case, his paramecia doesn't make him into a material. It gives him the ability to not be hurt from getting cut and to survive in parts. So even if he's cut with haki, would it actually hurt him? And even if it hurt him (in terms of pain), if his pain tolerance is high would it matter? If Zoro cut him in half with haki, Buggy would just be cut in half still, which is the same state his fruit allows him to survive in anyway. The end result would be the same, except possibly he'd feel the pain of being cut (I'm not even sure he would feel it though).

I think Zoro would kill Buggy if he used Haki against him. I don’t think that much if anything has changed when it comes to Buggy’s power level since East Blue.

Mihawk and Crocodile are seen basically torturing Buggy, so it's fair to say that his fruit doesn't make him invulnerable from Haki. Maybe if he had extremely advanced future sight he could become basically unkillable, but I can't see him lasting more than one attack against a serious Zoro.

if you mean where they're hold his beat up head, that doesn't show anything about haki slashes being able to kill him. If a haki slash is what cut his head off, then it shows he's invulnerable to dying from a haki slash. If it wasn't a haki slash that cut his head off, then we've still never seen how he handles being cut with haki.

If you mean he could've been beheaded with a painful haki slash as part of his torture on the lead up to that scene, it's easily to imagine him getting that situation just from Mihawk cutting his head off either with or without any haki, felt no pain yet, but then Mihawk grabbed his head and him and Croc hit him with various blunt attacks, like kicking his head around (with the rest of his body buried by Croc in sand).

It's possible blunt force damage is the only way to hurt Buggy.

It's all fun and clowns until Buggy gets a "no sword style" to the face.
