The power of Haki has been deemed the supreme ability that allows the One Piece characters to bend others according to their will. This power, although rare, has made quite an impact in the series and is going to be crucial during the final moments of One Piece. There have been only three types of Haki discovered to date.
Among the three Haki techniques, the one that holds the most authority is the Conqueror’s Haki, which has been trending because of the recent endeavors in the One Piece anime and manga series. However, contrary to popular belief, many One Piece fans have put forward the idea of a fourth kind of Haki that might be revealed soon.
While there is no concrete evidence for this, a One Piece theory claims that Eiichiro Oda might have hinted at this fourth kind of Haki through a Navy Admiral. This Navy Admiral is none other than Issho Fujitora and his sword. Yakuza Kasen is the prime element in the revelation of the fourth Haki type.
Admiral Fujitora’s Sword in One Piece
Fujitora was first seen during the Dressrosa arc, when he was sent by Sakazuki to investigate the affairs of Law and Luffy’s alliance. The Admiral was different from his predecessors, and he instantly became a fan favorite because of his unprecedented power and wisdom. He possesses the Zushi Zushi no Mi Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate gravitational forces.
His Devil Fruit powers are reflected through his sword, Yakuza Kasen, which is one of the twelve supreme-grade swords. Yakuza Kasen was forged by Fugetsu Kisaburo, a swordsmith from Wano, and it is one of the rarest swords in Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece world. The sword is considered one of the most powerful weapons ever created.
The main element of the sword is to direct the Devil Fruit powers of Fujitora, but even attempting such a thing needs precision and training. And it has been well established in One Piece that every grade sword has a will of its own, and they themselves choose their wielder.
One Piece Theory Claims Fujitora Might Have A Fourth Kind of Haki
According to a theory posted by @thatonepiecetalk on Instagram, Fujitora’s sword, being a supreme grade, might have given him a power that is even stronger than the Conqueror’s Haki.

One Piece fans have clearly witnessed how Enma, being one of the twenty-one great grade swords, asked for Zoro’s Haki in order to grant him imminent power.
Thus, the twelve supreme grade swords that are even stronger than the great grade swords might ask their user for something more. In the case of Fujitora and Yakuza Kasen, the sword must have asked for his eyes in order to develop trust within each other, which allowed him to not only wield the power of the sword but also the power of his Devil Fruit.
And as every grade sword gives a unique power to its wielder, Fujitora’s sword gave him an ability that is even stronger than Haki. While this is a great theory, there is not enough evidence to confirm it. Fujitora needs to make more appearances in One Piece for the fans to find out more about him and the Yakuza Kasen.
