This article contains spoilers from the Elbaf Arc of One Piece.
Overview of Haki Masters
- Rayleigh was a remarkable Haki powerhouse, once feared by even the Four Emperors.
- Sengoku and Whitebeard were formidable Haki users, considered rivals to the legendary Pirate King, Roger.
- Garp and Joy Boy demonstrated exceptional Haki abilities, with Joy Boy’s power even surpassing that of Shanks.
The world of One Piece has undergone significant transformations, particularly since the Great Pirate Era was ignited by Gol D. Roger. This era has not only redefined piracy but also paved the way for what many fans now refer to as the New Age. While the New Age is dynamic and features its own set of influential figures, the thrilling exploits of the previous generation of pirates remain unforgettable.
Among the legendary pirates of the past, several stood out as true Haki masters—individuals whose power and presence instilled fear in their adversaries. While not everyone possesses the skill to be deemed a “Haki monster, ”there were a select few whose abilities warranted such a title.
Silvers Rayleigh
The Right Hand of the Pirate King
Silvers Rayleigh stands as one of the most proficient Haki users in the One Piece universe. His lack of a Devil Fruit, combined with his significant threat to opponents, speaks volumes about the magnitude of his Haki prowess. In his prime, Rayleigh was indeed a formidable Haki monster.
Even as an older individual, Garp regarded Rayleigh as a threat comparable to the Four Emperors, highlighting the exceptional level of control and mastery Rayleigh held over his Haki.
Sengoku
The Former Fleet Admiral
Sengoku is one of the few Marines known to wield Haki effectively. His prowess was acknowledged by Roger, who regarded Sengoku as a worthy adversary. Furthermore, Sengoku’s historical rivalry with Whitebeard emphasizes his titanic strength.
As a character whose abilities rival those of the Pirate King and Whitebeard, Sengoku possesses tremendous Haki, securing his position among the elite fighters of the world.
Whitebeard
The Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates
Whitebeard was an astonishingly powerful Haki user from the former era, often hailed as the strongest man in the world. His ability to wield the Gura Gura no Mi, which granted him the potential to destroy the world, only accentuates his formidable reputation. Whitebeard’s mastery of Haki encompassed all three types, placing him among the top-tier fighters, despite not having the refined control of Roger.
Even in his later years, Whitebeard was a sight to behold. It raises intriguing questions about the sheer extent of his strength during his prime days.
Monkey D. Garp
The Hero of the Marines
Dubbed the “Marine of Legends, ”Garp is a mythical figure within the One Piece realm, known for his incredible combat skills despite lacking any Devil Fruit abilities. Garp relies exclusively on Haki, which he has refined over the years to astonishing levels.
His use of Conqueror’s Haki was evident during the Final Saga when he attacked Pirate Island, demonstrating his formidable capabilities even as age affects him. Garp’s Haki remains one of the most powerful seen in the series, with his past strength leaving fans in awe.
Gol D. Roger
The Late Pirate King
Gol D. Roger, the legendary Pirate King, possessed unmatched Haki skills in his time. Lacking a Devil Fruit, Roger’s prowess in Haki must have been extraordinary, placing him at the forefront of the Haki masters.
Roger’s power allowed him to engage Whitebeard in battle on relatively equal footing, suggesting that his Haki surpassed that of the strongest men of his era.
Rocks D. Xebec
The Mysterious Captain of the Rocks Pirates
Rocks D. Xebec is enveloped in mystery, with fans curious about his full capabilities, including whether he possessed any Devil Fruit powers. However, it is certain that he was an extraordinary Haki user.
Given that Garp and Roger needed to team up to defeat him and his past accomplishments in battle, it is reasonable to speculate that Rocks was a significant Haki user, likely having all three forms of Haki mastered.
Joy Boy
A Mysterious Figure from the Void Century
Among the most powerful Haki users in One Piece history is Joy Boy. While technically from an ancient era, he demonstrated incredible Haki abilities during the Final Saga through Emet. His Haki was potent enough to split the skies, incapacitate Vice Admirals, and nullify the powers of the Five Elders, sending them fleeing.
Joy Boy’s Haki struck fear into the heart of even Imu, showcasing its extraordinary strength. Additionally, comparisons between Joy Boy and Shanks signify that his Haki stands alongside the very best in the series, rivaling only a select few.
