Huh? But Toei colors it black (see Chinjao's head during it, etc)

<p>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).<br>
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.<br>
It may be that the color underneath chooses whether it's purple or black. It may even just be the concentration of Haki.</p>

<p>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?</p>

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