What is Conquerors Haki and Can Luffy and Zoro Use It?

Conquerors Haki: The Rarest Form of Haki

Conquerors Haki is one of the rarest forms of Haki, possessing the abilities to influence others with one's willpower. It is such a rare ability that it is said to be found in only one in a million people. Those who wield this divine power are often likened to kings, imbued with the qualities of leadership and authority. Conquerors Haki allows its user to force their will onto others, knocking them out in the process. This power is not limited to humans, as it can also affect animals and inanimate objects due to the mental pressure it exerts.

Advanced applications of Conquerors Haki allow users to imbue themselves or their weapons with this power, significantly enhancing the force of their attacks beyond that of Armament Haki. This rare ability is famously used by characters such as Luffy, Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks, Yamato, Kozuki Oden, Whitebeard, Gol D. Roger, Zoro, Boa Hancock, Doflamingo, Katakuri, Don Chinjao, Sengoku, Ace, and others.

Why Does Zoro Have Conqueror Haki?

The recent reveal of Zoro possessing Conqueror Haki adds a new intriguing layer to the character. This revelation was made in Issue 1010 of the One Piece manga, where Kaido asked Zoro if he was aware of his abilities. His response was a surprise, leading to the speculation of whether Zoro had unwittingly used this power in past battles. For instance, during the Land of Wano arc, Zoro used his Conqueror Haki to scare opponents with just a glance.

Though Zoro himself was initially unaware of his possession of this power, there is hope for a detailed explanation in the future. This revelation makes Zoro the first person to use Advanced Conqueror Haki in the series, making his Asura attack from the Enies Lobby arc particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, it makes him the second person to use any form of Haki after Shanks, who introduced Haki in the very first One Piece chapter and episode.

How Luffy Can Use Conqueror Haki

Despite the rarity of Conquerors Haki, Luffy has shown the potential to use it. Although he is still in the early stages, similar to how Luffy was at Marine Ford, there are indications that Luffy can also use this power. Zoro's battle with Kaido, for example, saw Zoro unknowingly using his Conqueror Haki, and it is not far-fetched to think that Luffy may also possess this ability.

The use of Conquerors Haki by Luffy and Zoro opens up a new dimension in their fighting capabilities, allowing them to exert immense pressure on their opponents and potentially tip the balance of any confrontation.
