One Piece: Oda Has Already Revealed The New Power Level Of The Straw Hats Pirates After Elbaf

This article contains spoilers from the Final Saga of One Piece.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is currently in the Final Saga, and fans know very well that this is where the Straw Hat Pirates will eventually peak and reach their maximum potential. The Straw Hat Pirates are already an incredibly powerful crew, and they stand alongside the Red Hair Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates as one of the Yonko crews. However, not all of the members of the crew have reached their full potential. In fact, it can be said that none of them are at their peaks right now in One Piece

Oda Is Set To Introduce A New Power In One Piece, And It’s Stronger Than Haki

While Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are incredibly powerful, the other members need a significant strength boost. Now, it seems that Oda has clearly portrayed how strong the Straw Hat Pirates will be after the events of the Elbaf Arc are officially over, and it goes without saying that their next power level following Elbaf will be terrifying.

The Straw Hat Pirates Will Become The Strongest Yonko Crew After Elbaf

As things stand, the Straw Hats are all very powerful, but some members still have a lot of room to grow. Undoubtedly, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are already elite-level fighters, but only Luffy is truly on the level of the Yonko. Meanwhile, all the other members of the crew are somewhat underwhelming, as was clear in Elbaf, where they were taken down by a single Holy Knight.

This needs to change in Elbaf and the Straw Hat crew needs to be so strong that they can actually stand their ground against the other Yonko crews especially in a difficult saga as the final one.

The first biggest boost that the Straw Hat Pirates will receive in general in the Final Saga will be to the Monster Trio. Luffy will go on to master his Conqueror’s Haki, as was confirmed by Scopper Gaban, and fans already know that Zoro only recently found out that he has this power as well.

This is the power to overwhelm, also called the Color of the Supreme King Haki. Most people who have made a name for themselves in the world possess this power. Though you can control the Color of the Supreme King, you can’t train it to be stronger directly. It is the embodiment of the spirit of the user. It only grows stronger if the user itself grows stronger. — Silvers Rayleigh explaining Conqueror’s Haki to Luffy

A new character among the Straw Hat pirates is getting conqueror’s haki, and it will be major in One Piece.

Meanwhile, Sanji has the setup for awakening Conqueror’s Haki, which means that following Elbaf, the Straw Hat Pirates will have at least three Conqueror’s Haki users who can go on to fight at an elite level and even clash with the likes of Admirals and Yonko.

Loki Might Join The Crew In Elbaf

On top of the Monster Trio being Conqueror’s, Haki users, and elite fighters, the Straw Hat Pirates might even gain Loki at the end of this arc. If Loki were to join the crew, then they would gain another Conqueror’s Haki user and someone with a bounty of 2.6 billion berries who is even above the level of Zoro and Sanji.

Loki is an unstoppable monster, and if he were to join the Straw Hat crew, they would become an unstoppable force above anyone else.

The Straw Hats Will Be The Closest Ones To The One Piece

On top of these powerful members, the others need to improve as well. It is high time that Oda gives them Haki to fight at a very high level. Usopp, in particular, needs a Haki upgrade and Elbaf is his perfect time to shine. Hopefully, he will get a Haki upgrade here.

Listen, Luffy. Haki is a power that is dormant in everyone everywhere. The ability to sense spiritual energy and overwhelm enemies is something everyone has to some degree. But most people never discover it. To never doubt, that is true power. Now watch! Most Haki can be divided into two types or colors. — Silvers Rayleigh to Luffy in Ruskaina

Similarly, Nami and Robin deserve Haki as well, and fans know that there is a chance that they will upgrade their power in this particular arc. Franky might have already awakened Haki in Egghead, and if that is the case, he could go on to show that power here.

All these major power-ups will push the Straw Hats to the next level. Fans should expect to see a completely different Straw Hat crew following the events of Elbaf. At that point, they will most certainly be the strongest crew in the world.
