Shonen Zanzibar copal ’s wide multifariousness of power system is one of its most interesting aspects , andOne Piece ’s Haki is as awesome as it is inscrutable . Although there are many other powers similar to it , like chakra fromNarutoor Nen fromHunter X Hunter , Haki sets itself aside with its restraint .
Although devil fruits are the principal superpower system inOne Piece , especially in the first few hundred episodes and chapters , Eichiro Oda was always alluding to an even heavy superpower that became more prevalent as Luffy and the Straw Hats became stronger and more famed .
What Is Haki?
A mysterious vital force that few people can harness.
Haki is present in every mortal , but few know of its existence , much less wield it . It is deduce from one ’s spiritual vigour , and the only way to habituate this power is through vivid and long training , but it can sometimes be used when in worked up distress or in a life history - or - death billet .

From smell out peril , strengthening the body or even ensure a few second into the future , Haki has made people without devil fruit much stronger than those with , like Oden Kozuki and Shanks .
The countersign " Haki " literally translates as " ambitiousness " , and this is perhaps the biggest clue that the series has given about the origins of this ability . People with strong ambitions or unbreakable ambition are express to have the strongest Haki , and the best explanation about this magnate was the one given by Silvers Rayleigh when he was training Luffy :
" Haki " is a power that lies dormant in all the world ’s creatures … " Presence " , " fighting spirit " and " determent " … It is not dissimilar from the affair that human being can of course smell out such as these … ' The routine of not doubting ' . That is strength !
There are three types of Haki , and among them , Conqueror ’s Haki is only own by one in a million citizenry , who are all intend to leave a mark on the world . Despite its rarity , the one that appeared the first in the series was the Conqueror ’s Haki , whenShanks used it in chapter # 1 of One Piecewhen he saved Luffy from the Sea King , but unluckily lost his weapon in the unconscious process . It is almost impossible to live on in the New World without Haki , no matter how unique and powerful your devil yield is , which is why the principal paladin among the Straw Hats had to master it during the prison term omission .
Armament Haki
The essential Haki for battle.
This type of Haki is the most used when combat , as it allows a user to coat their trunk in Haki , giving them heighten justificative and offensive power . A blow by Armament Haki is deadly , and the only way to counter it is to surface your organic structure with Haki as well . Often touch on to as an inconspicuous armour , it was never visible to viewer pre - time omission butArmament Haki was shown to give the body a black coloration when in useafter the time skip . It can be used to indurate sure parts of the body or even sometimes all of it . When a lot of Haki is concentrated on a torso part , flaming may emerge , such as Luffy ’s Red Roc in episode # 1015 and chapter # 1000 .
weapon system can also be coated with Armament Haki .
It is presumed that Garp was the first to use it when he punched Luffy in the Water 7 arc , but it was clarified by Oda that Garp did n’t apply Armament Haki . Instead , Sentomaru was the first to apply it when he struggle Luffy in the Sabaody Archipelago . There are many people who can use it , and it is the most prevalent character of Haki . The strongest masses in One Piece utilize it and the most renowned user are Luffy , Kaido , Gol D. Roger , Doflamingo , the Admirals and Vice - Admirals , and many more . Since Haki is delineate from phantasmal Energy Department , it can be exhausted and has a prison term bound . It can be especially devastating when so much Haki is used that the user can not move , like when Luffy uses his Gear 4 .
Observation Haki
A rare and versatile power that, if honed to the extreme, can see the future.
This case of Haki is extremely useful as it leave a user to sense the presence , emotions , and force of an resister . reflexion Haki is like a sixth signified and works severally of the other senses . This is exactly how Fujitora managed to become an admiral and one of the strongest despite being unsighted . This Haki can be used to guess an resister ’s enduringness , purpose , and emotion . Many users of Armament Haki also expend this type of Haki to assist in combat , most notably Yamato , Whitebeard , Blackbeard , Zoro , Sanji , and others .
In very rare case , it can be used to predict the attacks of others by very in short bet into the future , but it is an incredibly uncommon variety of index recognize as Future Sight . The most expert in this variation of Observation Haki is Shanks , who is capable of get word up to a full ten seconds in the future , and he uses this foresight in conjunctive to his monumental Conqueror ’s Haki to devastating effect in battle .
Conqueror’s Haki
The mark of the people who will carve their name in history.
By far the most rare case of Haki , all its user are the most powerful masses in the world and have the quality of a King . Shanks was the first to habituate it , but Luffy subconsciously used it many times when he was in distress or danger , with the most illustrious example being when Ace was about to be executed . This power has two main applications . The first one works by overpowering others using willpower , with people with feeble wills being criticize out when they sense Conqueror ’s Haki . A variation of it wasused by Shanks when he used his Conqueror ’s Haki to paralyze Ryokugyufrom a great distance .
The most significant diligence , however , is when Conqueror ’s Haki is used in alignment with Armament Haki to imbue a weapon or body part with it , greatly increasing its powerfulness as compare to using Armament Haki alone . This is almost the only way to damage the most resilient characters who appeared in the serial , such as Kaido and Big Mom .
Every user of Conqueror ’s Haki has a significant position in the world , and this power is only sanctify to those with great ambitiousness . They are known as Supreme Rulers , and the only confirmed user are Luffy , Shanks , Roger , Katakuri , Zoro , Yamato , Garp , Hancock , Doflamingo , Sengoku , Kaido , Whitebeard , Ace , Big Mom , Blackbeard , Rayleigh , Kid , Oden , and Chinjao . Interestingly , only 2 Marines have been confirmed to apply Conqueror ’s Haki , namely Garp and Sengoku , at least until now .
Haki Is Still A Mystery, Despite Being So Important
The source of this power remains purposefully vague.
There is still quite a bit strange about Haki but since the serial is nearing its end , a deal of questions will be answered sooner than later on . It is not a stretchiness to say that Haki is superior to devil fruits , as Kaido famously trust . Indeed , Whitebeard , who had one of the strongest devil yield , was always regard second to Roger , who only relied on Haki . Shanks has been teased as the strong of the Emperors , and he also only swear on Haki , just as Mihawk , the strongest swordman in the earth . Haki ’s simplicity , along with its mysterious origins , means it has endless potential , cement it as one of the full power systems in gum anime and manga .
