One Piece: 8 New Haki Users After The Elbaf Arc

This article contains spoilers for the One Piece series.

Known to be one of the two main power systems in One Piece, Haki is a spiritual energy that has a multitude of uses in One Piece, ranging from boosting sensory perception, to increasing offensive and defensive capabilities, and even overwhelming the enemy in a select few cases.

While Haki is incredibly important in One Piece, many characters have made it to the Final Saga without it. That said, Haki is still an essential power to have, and Elbaf could mark the point where many new characters unlock it, especially among the Straw Hat Pirates. The likes of Robin and Franky could be the next to get Haki.

Robin

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki

Aside from Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, one could definitely say Nico Robin is one of the strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates. Robin has proven just how strong she is by defeating Black Maria without any Haki. She has again shown immense bravery by taking on Saint Sommer in Elbaf.

Robin’s potential is one of the greatest in battle, and unlocking Haki could take her to the level of the likes of Jinbe. Robin, after awakening Haki, and potentially an awakened Devil Fruit would be unstoppable.

Brook

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki

Brook is not the strongest Straw Hat Pirate out there, but he has shown time and time again how useful he can be, both in and outside of battle. Brook didn’t get his own battle in Wano, but he assisted Robin greatly. If Brook gets Armament Haki, he could be useful against many more enemies ahead and might even start getting his own fights.

Franky

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki

Franky has proven over the last few arcs that he is, aside from the main four combatants, one of the best fighters that the Straw Hat Pirates have to offer. Franky was able to defeat Sasaki in Wano, and in Egghead, he beat a Vice Admiral with one punch. He might have bigger enemies to face soon. Franky really needs Armament Haki to be able to keep up with the enemies ahead.

Urouge

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki, Observation Haki

Known as the Mad Monk, Urouge is one of the members of the Worst Generation, and the only one that fans have yet to see fully involved in the story. Urouge’s current whereabouts are unknown, and the last thing fans know is that he defeated Snack, a Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates. It’s unknown if he already has Haki or not, but if he doesn’t, he would definitely be a strong contender to unlock both Armament and Observation Haki in the Final Saga.

Nami

Haki To Unlock: Observation Haki

The Cat Burglar, Nami is the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of their original members all the way from the East Blue. Over the years, she has grown stronger, especially after the timeskip, acquiring the likes of Zeus. That said, she isn’t at her peak yet.

While Armament Haki would be great for Nami, as a navigator, what would really push her to the next level is Observation Haki, and she could definitely unlock it soon.

Tony Tony Chopper

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki

One Piece Chopper's Best Moments In The Show

Tony Tony Chopper is the Doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates, and while he can hold his own against some high-level enemies, he is arguably one of the weakest of the crew. Chopper still needs to get stronger and gaining Haki would aid him greatly.

Just like a lot of Straw Hat Pirates, he definitely needs Haki, even if it’s just one type. Chopper could unlock Observation Haki, but what he really needs right now is Armament Haki.

Kozuki Momonosuke

Haki To Unlock: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, Conqueror’s Haki

The Shogun of Wano, Momonosuke was a pivotal character during the Wano arc of One Piece. As the new ruler of the country, he has more responsibilities thrust on him than ever before. Momonosuke has to grow stronger, as he can’t forever rely on others, such as the Straw Hat Pirates or Yamato, to protect him. Momonosuke will grow, and he’ll do so quickly. He most certainly has the potential to unlock all types of Haki, including Conqueror’s Haki. If Momonosuke unlocks Haki, he will be a huge asset to the people of Wano and even Luffy during the final battle.
