Conqueror’s Haki is an exceptional power within the universe of One Piece, recognized as one of the most exclusive abilities. Unlike the other two forms of Haki, this power is not merely a skill that everyone can learn; it resides in a select few, signifying a natural-born aptitude. At its fundamental level, this ability enables the wielder to instill fear and dominate the wills of those who are weaker than them.
The more sophisticated application of this technique allows its users to envelop themselves in Conqueror’s Haki, resulting in significantly amplified damage inflicted upon foes. Though Conqueror’s Haki is scarce within the One Piece narrative, numerous practitioners can be found in the New World, with only a select few achieving full mastery over this formidable ability.

Only those deemed worthy by fate can actually wield this skill. Over time, audiences have been introduced to a variety of formidable users of Conqueror’s Haki, particularly among those engaged in New World combat—home to the strongest warriors.

23 Don Chinjao
- Affiliation: Pirates
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Don Chinjao made his mark during the Dressrosa arc as a legendary pirate. With a bounty exceeding 500 million berries, he was a formidable figure in his prime. He can harness all three forms of Haki and faced Luffy in the Corrida Colosseum, where he showcased his capabilities with Conqueror’s Haki.
While he exhibited some proficiency with basic Haki, Chinjao lacked the strength to advance it further or use it for self-coating. Additionally, Luffy managed to defeat him relatively easily in their confrontation.
22 Portgas D. Ace

Portgas D. Ace, the son of the legendary Gol D. Roger, naturally possessed Conqueror’s Haki. He first demonstrated this power at the tender age of 10 during a battle against Bluejam in the Grey Terminal.

Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon and a high-ranking pirate in the New World, was an influential member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea until his downfall at the hands of Monkey D. Luffy. He too possessed all three Haki types.
While competent with Armament and Observation Haki, his control over Conqueror’s Haki was not particularly impressive.

However, he didn’t demonstrate any advanced applications of this power, making him an average user overall.

- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Roronoa Zoro is the loyal first mate to Monkey D. Luffy and an immensely skilled swordsman, capable of wielding Conqueror’s Haki, referred to as Haoshoku Haki. He first showcased this ability when he engaged Kaido, managing to inflict a scar on him during the Wano Country saga.
Subsequently, during his battle with King, Zoro effectively harnessed Conqueror’s Haki to gain full command over his power, allowing him to emanate it through all his swords and marking him as one of the narrative’s most powerful swordsmen.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Roronoa Zoro first awakened Conqueror’s Haki while fighting Kaido on the rooftop during the Wano arc. He instinctively coated his sword with Haki, leaving a scar on the Yonko. Later, against King, he gained complete control over his Haki.
Currently, Zoro can consciously utilize the advanced form of this technique, coating all his swords with it. During his battle with King, he awakened this capability and eventually defeated him using his mightiest attack, Dragon Damnation, successfully injuring King and sending him crashing to the ground.

Yamato is a remarkable Conqueror’s Haki practitioner, utilizing her inherited power throughout the Wano arc since her debut. She effectively knocked out Ulti using Conqueror’s Haki and later faced off against Kaido, exhibiting abilities comparable to his. Furthermore, she successfully attacked Greenbull with this Haki, inflicting considerable damage. It’s clear that Yamato wields a potent form of Conqueror’s Haki, with potential for even greater growth as the narrative unfolds.
14 Silvers Rayleigh
- Affiliation: Pirates
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Silvers Rayleigh, known as the former First Mate of the Roger Pirates, was introduced during the Sabaody Archipelago arc. His prowess as a pirate is laced with mastery of all three types of Haki, despite lacking a Devil Fruit.
His proficiency granted him the ability to educate Monkey D. Luffy on Haki. Though Rayleigh has demonstrated advanced usage of this power, his overall control of Conqueror’s Haki is staggering.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Rayleigh’s capabilities with all Haki types are well-established through the narrative; however, his demonstration of advanced Conqueror’s Haki only surfaced post-Wano arc events. When Blackbeard invaded Amazon Lily aims to seize Boa Hancock’s Devil Fruit, it was Rayleigh who intervened.
He utilized advanced Conqueror’s Haki during this encounter, evidenced by the black bolts of Haki emanating from his blade. While aging may have diminished his strength, Rayleigh’s Haki mastery in his prime was undoubtedly formidable.
13 Kozuki Oden

He possessed the ability to wield all types of Haki, showcasing a unique mastery of Ryou. Oden inflicted significant damage on Kaido, leaving him severely scarred. Still, the specifics of whether his Togen Totsuka technique was a Conqueror’s Haki attack or merely utilized advanced Ryou remain unclear.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Kozuki Oden is undoubtedly a strong practitioner of Conqueror’s Haki. While explicit references to his ability with it are limited, it’s suggested by his capability to scar Kaido—an ability attributed to Conqueror’s Haki. Kaido himself acknowledged that only Conqueror’s Haki poses a significant threat to him.
This recognition explains why Kaido immediately discerned Zoro’s usage of Conqueror’s Haki through a chest gash similar to Oden’s work, albeit at a larger scale. Thus, Oden proved to be an exceptional user of this ability, substantiated by his ability to forge both Enma and Ame no Habakiri with high craftsmanship.

8 Saint Topman Warcury
- Affiliation: World Government
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Saint Topman Warcury, a member of the Five Elders, is a highly powerful individual and a confirmed user of Conqueror’s Haki. Oda solidified this by demonstrating Warcury’s use of this powerful Haki in battle against Luffy.

Big Mom, a fearsome Yonko like Shanks, stands out with a staggering bounty of 4,338,000,000 berries, only exceeded by Kaido.
She wields a potent Devil Fruit called Soru Soru no Mi alongside her profound mastery of all Haki forms. Big Mom showcased her advanced Conqueror’s Haki in Onigashima, effortlessly knocking Page One out with a single strike.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
As a Yonko, Big Mom undoubtedly possesses advanced Conqueror’s Haki, which she has showcased, although it remains underexplored. Her first on-screen use was against Page One, where one punch rendered him unconscious. Although she appeared to use this power off-screen in her confrontation with Kid and Law, it was considerably absent when she fully engaged in combat.
During the latter stages of her battle, Big Mom did invoke a defensive application of advanced Conqueror’s Haki but was weakened at that point, failing to match the ferocity of Kid and Law’s attack. Fans remain uncertain about the true strength of her Conqueror’s Haki due to its limited exploration, hoping future arcs will grant insight into her skills if she is indeed alive.
6 Garp
- Affiliation: Marines
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Garp, acclaimed as the Hero of the Marines, is a legendary figure standing shoulder to shoulder with the Pirate King, Roger. Without relying on a Devil Fruit in his battles, it’s expected that he would harness Conqueror’s Haki.
With both his son and grandson displaying this ability, it was finally confirmed in the Egghead Arc that Garp can also wield Conqueror’s Haki. During his mission to rescue Captain Koby, he powerfully employed this skill, reminding all of why he is revered as the Hero of the Marines.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Garp exhibits an exceptional command of Conqueror’s Haki. His introduction in Egghead featured a striking display where he leapt into the air and unleashed a powerful technique known as Galaxy Impact, obliterating a substantial portion of Pirate Island in the process. Garp utilized his mastery of Haki to augment his punches, demonstrating strength formidable enough to overpower Kuzan, a Marine admiral in his prime. Although Garp’s abilities may have diminished with age, he remains an incredibly potent user of Conqueror’s Haki, capable of inflicting significant damage.
5 Kaido
- Affiliation: Pirates
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
As the mightiest pirate currently in One Piece, Yonko Kaido possesses formidable abilities, augmented by the Mythical Zoan Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. His mastery of Conqueror’s Haki is equally impressive.
Kaido integrates this power into all his principal techniques, including Thunder Bagua and Ragnarok. Intriguingly, Luffy learned how to apply Conqueror’s Haki to himself by analyzing Kaido’s methods.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Kaido is undoubtedly among the elite Conqueror’s Haki users showcased throughout the series. His extensive display of this skill throughout the Wano arc exemplifies its prowess. Although equipped with a potent Dragon Devil Fruit, Kaido heavily relied on Haki during battles. His Haki often dispatched Luffy multiple times, illustrating its refined nature, particularly in earlier encounters.
Despite ultimately succumbing to Luffy, Kaido’s mastery of Conqueror’s Haki was evident in his signature moves such as Thunder Bagua, Thunder Bellow Bagua, and Destroyer of Death: Thunder Bagua, among others.
4 Monkey D. Luffy
- Affiliation: Pirates
- Haki Type: Armament, Observation, Conqueror’s
Monkey D. Luffy has been acknowledged numerous times as a natural-born user of Conqueror’s Haki by Oda. During the Wano arc, he successfully learned how to coat his body with this power, enhancing his strength significantly.
Luffy showcases adept control over basic Conqueror’s Haki. Although his advanced application is still evolving, he has shown substantial improvement. In his confrontation with Kaido, Luffy was able to inflict damage significant enough to bring the Yonko to his knees.
Advanced Conqueror’s Haki Usage
Throughout Wano, Luffy progressed in his usage of Haki. Initially mastering advanced Ryuo, he subsequently tapped into advanced Conqueror’s Haki during his encounters with Kaido. His early punches could momentarily stagger Kaido, but his control was initially lacking.
As a result, Kaido overpowered him before tossing him into the ocean. However, upon returning, Luffy exhibited considerable growth. As the battle intensified, he steadily improved his control, ultimately enabling him to cover his gigantic fist with Conqueror’s Haki, leading to Kaido’s defeat. Luffy now ranks among the leading practitioners of Conqueror’s Haki.
