Luffy's unaware Conquerors Haki at Marineford [One Piece]

Haoshoku Haki (覇王色の覇気) is a rare form of Haki that allows the user to exert their own willpower over others. Unlike the other two types of Haki, this type cannot be awakened through training and only one in a million people are born with this ability.

It is said that whoever possesses this type of Haki has the qualities of a king, and thus are known as Supreme Rulers (覇王, Haō)

Haoshoku Haki is considered an extremely dangerous threat and a highly valuable asset by powerful groups such as the Four Emperors, Marines, Seven Warlords of the Sea and Five Elders.
Also called: Conqueror's Haki and Kings Haki.

Seeing Sengoku immediately recognizing the situation but still frozen in shock is a profound statement. Sengoku is already realizing although they may have Ace, there's an equally large threat or even bigger on the battlefield, and that threat is just running around free unnoticed.

[DrPinkieDie]

The moment you realize the pirate you thought was damn near no threat whatsoever simply because whitebeard was on the same battlefield turns out to be the single greatest threat, not only because his Father is the Most wanted man in the world, but because his Conquerer's Haki is so ridiculously potent he can use it without any actual training

[StraightDonkChaser]

lol aokiji had the biggest wtf just happened reaction.

[matthewhudson]

The reaction on Sengoku and everyone’s who’s strong at marine Ford makes so much sense now. Cause after reading chapter 1010 we can see if u use conquerors Haki effectively ur the strongest like shanks, Roger, whitebeard etc.

[elyas]

After reading 1010. There's a reason top tiers like Admiral and basically strong guys were worried about Luffy. Dang it Oda

[Allikiza]

And Luffy's threat level increased threefold.
He just kept drawing aggro from enemies in this fight.

[mohammedalhashemi]

I've watched it for the 100th time and I still get goosebumps

[dreamhobbiz]

When you use conqueror's haki, you mean business. And with that level of power, even the admirals would sit up and take notice. You have no idea how dangerous this type of power can be. Besides knocking out your enemies, this haki also inspires countless people to join you because it is what marks you as a true leader. Conqueror's haki is like an aura of dominance. That is why pirates like Shanks and Whitebeard can have so many loyal crewmembers, because people will be inspired to follow them anywhere.

[unicornmeatman]

You can tell this is the exact moment Akainu decided that Luffy needed to die. Just his silence alone gives it away.

[greatestcait]

This scene hits even harder after Wano. Up until this point, they thought Luffy was just some brat who was strong by "Paradise" standards, but definitely not the kind of guy who'd make it in the New World, let alone Pirate King material. That false notion was shattered right here and now, when they realized just how high his ceiling went. This kid, who just a few months prior was a literal nobody, was now here, in this war of monsters, and showed that yes, he really _did_ have what it takes to rival even the strongest pirates in the world.

[Stockzwolf]

Literally everyone: impressed faces
Jack sparrow: "the haki of kings"

[thewoodofdoor]

Imagine how strong his haki is for the captains to feel it even when he hasn’t train to use it

[Peeku]

I really admire Aokijis reaction in this. It really fits perfectly and lets you understand how rare and powerful that move is. Its easy to forget the closer we get to the New World and everyone there is uber powerful.

[Living]

Even during this moment, Ace already told Yamato about how he was going to surpass everyone and how strong he was, even at this moment Ace for sure knew of Luffy's potential and that Haki display most likely reaffirmed it. Ace died as a happy brother for sure, His happiest moment would also be his last.

[sayyamkakkar]

These top tier fighters reaction to his haki make so much sense after reading chapter 1010. Oda....what a genius man. Just amazing.

[Zarkrez]

Aokiji: HOLY DEAR MOTHER OF GOD.
Kizaru: Oh my, what a strange turn of events.
Akainu: Boooring.

[marvirum]

first time ace used conqueror's haki he took out a few mid level bandits first time luffy used it he took out both marines and pirates still gives me goosebumps

[yvngkage]

Aokiji: oh he’s definitely the mc after doing that

[jren]

Latest chapters confirm why the navy was so shook by this display from luffy particularly the admirals

[AryanYadav-nfek]

in an interview oda stated that the thing that scared sengoku the most was not that he had the conqueror haki but the haki blast the amount which he released
