Since then, Conqueror’s Haki has been prevalent inOne Pieceand every now and then, a new user of Conqueror’s Haki pops up.
This is more true than ever before now thatOne Pieceis in the Final Saga itself. The importance of this power has continued to rise in the story, especially after Wano showed its true potential to the fans. Right now, Conqueror’s Haki can be said to be better understood than ever before, yet there are still misconceptions among fans.
What Is Conqueror’s Haki?
The Strongest Of All Haki Types
The power of Conqueror’s Haki is truly immense. This ability isn’t possessed by all in theOne Pieceworld. Only a select few are born with it. It allows the user to channel their willpower and intimidate others.
Things such as intimidation of enemies, subjugation of animals, and in the case of weaker opponents, completely knocking them out, are possible without even lifting a single finger. This is what makes Conqueror’s Haki truly incredible.
The power to never doubt yourself. That is true strength! — Rayleigh
At the same time, there also existsthe advanced form of Conqueror’s Haki. A select few of the strongest can coat their bodies in it and it increases their offensive and defensive powers greatly.
The Misconception Surrounding The Rarity Of Conqueror’s Haki
Conqueror’s Haki Isn’t All That Rare
There are quite a few misconceptions surrounding Conqueror’s Haki inOne Piece, and they largely stem from readers not understanding what it takes to be a Supreme King user.
•Ambition: Users of Conqueror’s Haki need to have big ambitions. Often, people mistake this for their wanting to be the King of something. This isn’t necessarily the case. Not all characters aim to be kings. For instance, Whitebeard’s dream was to simply have a family, but he had immense qualities of a King through his persona alone. Rayleigh never wanted to be King either,and neither did Katakuri. Even those who don’t want to be kings or rise to the top can have this power. It all depends on how immense their dedication to their ambition is and if they’re worthy of following.
•Rarity: Quite easily, the biggest misconception that fans have about Conqueror’s Haki is that it is a rare power. Often, when someone gets Conqueror’s Haki, fans start complaining that now the ability isn’t rare anymore. But, the whole rarity of the power is misunderstood. Conqueror’s Haki is rare, but only when considering the general population. 1 in a million people have this power. That means thousands in the world have it, if not more.
Most people who have made a name for themselves possess this power. — Silvers Rayleigh
Rayleigh specifically states that almost all the people who have made a big name for themself in theOne Pieceworldhave access to Conqueror’s Haki. The elite pirates are the cream of the crop. For them to have Conqueror’s Haki doesn’t ruin the rarity of the power at all. If anything, it should be expected. This power is immense, but the outrage following the confirmation of new users is simply due to a lack of basic reading comprehension in some cases.
One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and theManga Plusapps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1143, is set to be June 12, 2025.
