With armament haki, nothing says the regular, invisible willpower "armor" is particularly hard to apply to the whole body. But that's base level. What isn't regularly done is the more powerful hardening, where they turn black. Only Vergo and Pica, particularly powerful pirates, have been seen to do that to full body extent and their thing was being physically overwhelming.

As for Geppo, your explanation for it doesn't work. Geppo is specifically kicking/hopping off the air (or water) to float and propel the user, you know, like kung fu movies. It translates to "moon walk". Bouncing your limbs also doesn't really add any striking power. Even if it's some magical Sonic The Hedgehog unstoppable trampoline bounce, you're actively ruining your form by exerting force in one direction only to then exert yourself to push it the opposite way. That's not the same as just rearing back to throw harder.

Fortunately for you, a real, effective way to increase striking power is to push your bodyweight into the blow. It's why many knockout punches are accompanied by a small step towards the target or why hooks and kicks twist the waist and pivot the feet, you are putting your weight into a collision. You know what's really helpful for that? Being able to push off of air with your feet to send your entire body hurtling towards a target. Which is done in canon, see: Tekkai Sai. Just be very good at Tekkai Sai.

Also hello, I'm interested. But don't hold the game back on my account, you start when you planned to and I'll find a way to insert my guy into the game when I get a CS done. Which may or may not take me days, mind.

Isn't that what I said about armament haki?  I mean, I know my reply was a bit of a mess last night but I think the end result was that full body armament haki, while possible to do for most people, wasn't really the most efficient way to go about combat with haki?  o_0

Eh.  I'll have to think about that.  I mean, I'm sure that Geppo could be used to bounce off the air or water as that's the principle behind the move, and could in theory add lots of power to a single limb strike (Fukkuro was able to bounce with a single leg and Lucci was able to shoot himself backwards when LUffy wrapped him up) but the form points do make a lot of sense, and now that I think about it, the character of Jack really isn't one who'd go for something so fancy and risky if it meant throwing off his form.  So even if it was possible I should probably take it out anyways.
