Actually...given his track record, it might not be too bold to think that Whitebeard really just was not a good Haki user. He didn't manage to kill Aokiji with it and failed to block a lot of attacks.
That or they were using their own Haki to fight back.
Regardless, you're giving Mei knowledge of Boa's weakness being water(keep in mind, the water dragon doesn't just sit there).
he was up against experienced haki users like the admirals so of course it wouldnt bee just one hit haki infused to beat them. Hancock will just get overwhelmed by the attacks that mei has.
Hard to be so deadly that Haki will have a hard time defending against it.
I like the idea of Boa breathing the acid in. Nice outside the box thinking ya did there. However, I don't think Sasuke was really affected by breathing it. There are a couple panels where that argument could be made but I think the pain was caused by the damage done by Susano'o and the injuries from the Raikage.
Boa has reacted to cannon fire, I honestly doubt Mei's attacks will be much, if at all, faster than that.
Haki normally only covers a specific area of the body when activated, though. Acid mist is a cloud.
Well, that's the thing: The acid never touched Sasuke and he never breathed it in, only Susano'o was in it. He was in a protected bubble that was dissolving and failing pain trying to maintain it.
Haki can be used to cover multiple parts though, so I don't see a fully body Haki armor to be that unrealistic.
Sasuke did breathe the Acid, or at least breathed while it was there. Susano'o is not completely impenetrable, as Gaara would later be able to get Madara with his sand and pull him out of it. So I don't think it works like a little bubble.
You could make the argument that Susano'o acted like a bubble and kept *most* of the acid air out. But it certainly couldn't have been all.
It does work like a bubble actually. Gaara had to use the Sand Madara was standing on, and neither Sasuke nor Madara have been touched by Lava when they had Susano'o up and were surrounded by Lava.
Sasuke's Susano'o was melting though, and he got some of it on his skin, so meh, you're probably right about him breathing in some of that stuff in anyway.

exactly what i was thinking they have never shown full body armor thats why whitebeard got his face blown away. Its mostly where you have your attack concentrated like armes or the projectiles them selves os a direct lava or water attack will **** boa up.
just saying this disproves your idea she cant hold the water dragon jutsu long enough to drown boa or continuously ram her. Boa is just out matched fire power wise. And you keep saying that mei making hand seals will give boa a chance to attacks but her long range attacks need her to do heart and other actions. And she hasnt shown any impressive speed which is not a surprise since she has the lowest bounty of the shichibukai.
My idea? Silly boy, when have I mentioned that? And as far as the seals go, when did I mention that? Boa's bounty has nothing to do with the fight. And it is actually tied with Crocodiles...and better than Blackbeards, who joined the Shichibukai with an impressive bounty of 0.
Pretty much the bounties of Shichibukai don't tell you all that much, because it only says where they were when the government decided to stop counting/they accepted the job position. It doesn't mean that's when their power stopped growing.
If someone became a shichibukai at 40 mil, I'd actually be really impressed, because it'd mean that the government still rated their power highly enough for the job even though they've had very little chance to wreck havoc.
