Have you ever wondered what makes the absolute One Piece legends different from the rest of the pirate community? You're in the right place if you're interested in the unique ability that only the most ambitious and powerful characters have.
Power can take many different forms in the expansive One Piece universe, including Devil Fruits, swordsmanship, and enigmatic Haki techniques. However, one kind of haki, known as Conqueror's haki or haoshoku haki, stands out above the others. This unique talent distinguishes legendary characters from the commonplace and is only available to those who possess the will of a true king.
Among Haki monsters like Roger and Rayleigh, even One Piece's Most Underrated Legend, Scopper Gaban, earned his place in pirate history. Who are the characters who possess this incredible power, then? Let's examine the primary users of Conqueror's Haki in One Piece and what distinguishes them from one another.
Conqueror's Haki enables the user to control others by using their willpower, frequently quickly eliminating enemies with weaker wills. In order to overcome even the most formidable defences, such as Armament Haki or Logia intangibility, advanced users have learnt to incorporate Conqueror's Haki into their attacks as the series goes on.
According to some estimates, only one person out of several million is born with this talent. Conqueror's Haki must be inherited, in contrast to Observation or Armament Haki.
Conqueror's Haki is utilized by the characters listed below, all of whom possess the ambition and spirit of a true ruler.
- During the Marineford War, Luffy roused Conqueror's Haki, but it wasn't until the time jump that he learnt to control it.

- Conqueror's Haki, in Kaido's opinion, was the secret to defeating all abilities, including Devil Fruit ones.
- He was an almost unstoppable force thanks to his hybrid form, which fused advanced Conqueror's Haki with brute strength.
- Big Mom, another Yonko, employs all three Haki varieties.
- Page One and Ulti, two weaker characters, were intimidated and paralysed by her Conqueror's Haki.

- Throughout the God Valley Incident against the Rocks Pirates, Garp, considered the "Hero of the Marines," battled with Gol D. Roger.
- His raw power rivals Yonko-level opponents, and his punches have visibly shaken warships and damaged Blackbeard’s top commanders.
- With a legacy that shaped the likes of Luffy and Koby, Garp’s presence alone feels kingly, even if never labeled as such.
- Gol D. Roger left Ace his will.
- It was confirmed that he possessed the latent ability, even though he never fully mastered it before his death.
- He knocked out Bluejam Pirates as a child by unknowingly using Conqueror's Haki.
- Ace's kingly spirit was further reinforced by Whitebeard's belief that he could become Pirate King.
- Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon and Warlord, dominated adversaries and imposed his will using Conqueror's Haki.
- A darker kind of ambition was reflected in his distorted sense of kingliness.
- He used it to manipulate both pirates and civilians in Dressrosa, intimidating and controlling them.
- Luffy's advanced combat skills were hinted at by the clash between his Conqueror's Haki and Doflamingo's.
- The Pirate Empress and Warlord of the Sea.

1. Rayleigh (Dark King) – Roger's right-hand Silvers Rayleigh acknowledged using all Haki types, including Conqueror's.
2. Chinjao – An ex-pirate with enough will to battle Garp and come out alive.
3. Katakuri (Unconfirmed) – Although his Conqueror's Haki status is still up in the air, many fans believe he might have it because of his strength and leadership.
Conqueror's Haki is more than just a symbol of strength. It symbolises a character's desire to become the best. It distinguishes kings from warriors, dreamers from legends, and leaders from followers.
Only a small percentage of fighters, even the best, possess this quality. Conqueror's Haki will surely be important in the upcoming battles as the One Piece plot approaches its conclusion.
Conqueror's Haki is a narrative tool that symbolises leadership, fate, and unwavering will, not just a showy ability. These scenes encapsulate what makes One Piece Anime so exciting, whether it's Luffy confronting Kaido or Shanks putting an end to arguments with a look.
Watch out for those who wield this kingly power as we move closer to the Final Saga; they are the ones influencing the future of the seas.
