In the universe of One Piece, haki serves as a crucial power system that distinguishes the strong from the weak. It represents more than just a combat technique; it encapsulates the characters’ willpower and prowess in battle.
Nevertheless, only a select few characters have truly mastered the complexities of haki. This ranking of haki users not only considers their raw strength but also how they have pushed the limits of this power system, showcasing those who stand out as exceptional users in One Piece.
10. Charlotte Katakuri
The Strongest Sweet Commander
As Big Mom’s son, Katakuri has attained remarkable mastery over haki. His battle with Luffy in the mirror world during the Whole Cake Island Arc showcased his extraordinary observation haki, allowing him to evade attacks by anticipating the future.
This level of foresight prevented opponents from landing blows on him, solidifying his reputation as a top-tier fighter. Although Katakuri may not share the overwhelming power of characters like Shanks or Kaido, his advanced ability to see future events sets him apart from many of his peers.
Additionally, his potential for conqueror’s haki further reflects his innate leadership qualities and resolute will.
9. Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom)
The Iron Lady Of Totto Land
Big Mom’s formidable size alone would deter many adversaries, but her exceptional haki abilities amplify her intimidation factor. She employs armament haki to enhance the might of her strikes, making her attacks even more devastating.
During the Wano arc, her formidable defense, characterized by armament haki, proved challenging even for top-tier fighters like Law and Kid, who had to push themselves to the brink to challenge her.
However, despite her strength, Big Mom’s haki finesse does not match that of legendary figures like Roger or Whitebeard—but she remains a formidable force in the One Piece world.
8. Kaido
The King Of The Beast Pirates
Kaido has mastered all three types of haki, engaging in fierce battles against Luffy, Zoro, and other elite fighters during the Onigashima raid. As claimed to be the “strongest creature in the world, ” his overconfidence ultimately led to his downfall.
While he possesses future sight and advanced armament haki, he was still vulnerable to attacks from Luffy, Zoro, and Oden. His formidable conqueror’s haki could not secure his victory in every encounter.
Nonetheless, Kaido’s fearsome reputation and his ability to intimidate characters like Doflamingo should not be underestimated, as he was ultimately defeated by destiny itself.
7. Edward Newgate (Whitebeard)
The Last Figure Of The Old Era
During the epic Marineford battle, the aged Whitebeard showcased his formidable haki. In his prime, he stood alongside Roger, indicating he could have ranked higher among the greats had he not been at the twilight of his years.
The Gura Gura no Mi devil fruit relied heavily on its devastating powers, often overshadowing his haki potential. Despite fighting through illness, he maintained a respected position for decades, illustrating the power he wielded throughout his life.
6. Monkey D. Garp
The Legendary Hero Of The Marine
A true specialist in armament haki, Garp’s prowess puts him firmly in the upper echelon of haki users. His title as the “hero of the navy” is a testament to his skill, achieved primarily through mastery of haki.
At the God Valley incident, Garp fought against the infamous Rocks D. Xebec without any devil fruit powers, taking on some of the strongest figures in One Piece history. Even in his late years, Garp demonstrated formidable strength against Blackbeard’s crew, instilling fear in all who faced him.
His devastating Galaxy Impact attack at Hachinosu exemplified his haki mastery, showcasing immense power without direct physical contact.
5. Monkey D. Luffy
The Future Pirate King
Luffy’s position as number five may surprise some, especially after his victory over Kaido and the awakening of his unique abilities. However, it is essential to recognize that he is still on a growth trajectory, evolving into one of the most notable haki users in history.
His advanced command over all three forms of haki is a rarity among the diverse characters in One Piece, and his post-time skip development was evident against formidable foes like Doflamingo, Katakuri, and Kaido.
As he refines his haki further, Luffy stands below legends like Joyboy, Roger, the five elders, and Shanks—but his journey indicates that he is destined to surpass them all in time.
4. Shanks
The Man Who Humbled Eustass Kid
Shanks, the enigmatic Red-Haired Emperor, stands out as the only one among the sea emperors to rely solely on haki without any devil fruit. His ascent to emperor status highlights the immense strength he possesses, much like his former captain, Gol D. Roger.
Although his appearances in the story are limited, Shanks’ haki power has been showcased, including notable interactions with Whitebeard and his decisive confrontation with Eustass Kid, showcasing his incredible prowess.
(Shanks’ mastery over all three types of haki grants him significant influence within the world of One Piece, allowing him to maintain a balance of power and prevent conflicts, as the Marines remain hesitant to confront him.)
3. The Five Elders
The Gods Of Mariejois
The Five Elders represent the shadowy puppeteers of the One Piece world, their influence reaching far and wide. Their haki abilities were on full display during the Egghead incident, where they withstood assaults that even Luffy’s potent Gear 5 and the giants’ haki could not penetrate.
Yet, despite their formidable power and standing, even these elite figures falter against the mythical haki of Joyboy, who forced them back to their stronghold in Mariejois.
This confrontation highlights that, while the elders wield significant influence, they cannot escape the legacy and might connected to figures like Joyboy and Roger.
2. Gol D. Roger
The Man Who Conquered The Sea
Gol D. Roger ranks just behind Joyboy, not only due to his extraordinary haki but also because Joyboy’s influence persists centuries later. Roger’s haki was so formidable that it rivaled Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi, a fruit known for its cataclysmic capabilities.
He faced off against powerful opponents, including Garp, and established an enduring legacy that posed a significant threat to the World Government—a testament to his strength and will, all without reliance on a devil fruit.
Roger possessed mastery over all three types of haki, demonstrating why he earned the esteemed title of the king of all pirates.
1. Joyboy
A Haki That Transcends Time
The pinnacle of haki mastery belongs to the legendary Joyboy, a figure whose haki reverberates through time. His haki is not simply a tool but a manifestation of immense willpower, surviving even the void century.
Stored within a knot of fate for Emet’s use, Joyboy’s abilities proved so powerful that they overcame even the formidable haki of the Five Elders during the events on Egghead.
While Roger, Shanks, and Garp are feared across the world, none have exhibited a haki that has transcended time in such a manner, raising questions about the true depth of Joyboy’s powers.
