One Piece has two main power systems: Devil Fruits and Haki. While devil fruits have been a part of the story since the beginning, Oda-sensei introduced the concept of Haki during the Marineford Arc. Since then, Oda-sensei has revealed many characters possessing Conqueror Haki, including Luffy and Zoro from the Straw Hats. Surprisingly, our beloved chef, Sanji, has yet to show any signs of having Conqueror’s Haki, leaving many fans disappointed.

The Most Unexpected One Piece Conqueror’s Haki User Who Made Sanji Fans Green with Envy

Among all the Haki types, Conqueror Haki, also known as the Color of the Supreme King Haki, is ranked as the most supreme and powerful ability of all. Eiichiro Oda mentioned that only one in a million are born with Conqueror’s Haki, with Luffy and Zoro being the current Conqueror Haki users among the Straw Hat members.

Despite being introduced as one of the rarest power abilities, fans witnessed every formidable opponent being blessed with Conqueror Haki, especially after the time skip. Interestingly, Toei Animation once showcased the most unexpected character from a filler episode with the power of Conqueror Haki; whereas Oda-sensei continues to leave Sanji fans craving this power-up.

After the Marineford Arc, Luffy tries to come to terms with Ace’s death by remembering his childhood with Ace and a young boy named Sabo. In one of those episodes, Toei Animation featured a character named Naguri who was portrayed as an elderly man with long, grey, unkempt hair that goes down to his shoulders.

The only time viewers witnessed Naguri’s furious eyes was when he showcased his Conqueror Haki to rescue Luffy, Ace, and Sabo from a terrifying bear. Although some fans dispute Naguri’s Conqueror Haki claims, it must be considered that Luffy nostalgically recalls Shanks’ iconic Haki moment after witnessing the old man’s terrifying power against the bear, which lends credence to the claims of his Haki.

Following the revelation of Naguri’s Haki powers, fans are eager to see Sanji stand on the same grounds as Zoro and show signs of Conqueror Haki soon. While fans are anticipating Sanji’s power update, Oda-sensei has revealed the strongest Conqueror Haki in the entire One Piece universe with the recent manga chapter.

The Strongest Conqueror Haki in One Piece

With the One Piece manga coming close to its conclusion, Eiichiro Oda has finally started unfolding the mysteries of the Void Century. In Chapter 1122, the mangaka showcased Joyboy’s Haki as the strongest Conqueror Haki, surpassing the likes of Shanks, Roger, Garp, and Whitebeard.

Joyboy’s Conqueror’s Haki was the sole reason Luffy and his crew managed to escape from all Five Elders. Moreover, his Conqueror Haki single-handedly made Imu, the secret ruler of the entire One Piece world, bend a knee and let fear take over despite being miles away from the battlefield.
