One Piece: 7 Strongest Haki Users of Each Yonko Crew, Ranked by Strength

In One Piece, Haki becomes one of the most important tools in battles as the anime progresses towards the end. Every Emperor crew has at least one member who takes Haki to a whole new level, whether it’s raw Supreme King Haki’s energy, insane Observation Haki, or Armament Haki.

7 Mihawk – Cross Guild

Mihawk is basically the backbone of Cross Guild’s power now, which is basically him and Crocodile plus the crew of Buggy. His Observation Haki lets him read fights like a book. For example, he was able to track every single movement that Luffy made during the Marineford Arc.

Furthermore, his Armament Haki can fully coat Yoru and turn his weapon into a Black Blade, something very few have ever pulled off. However, compared to actual Yonko-level fighters, his feats put him below everyone else in this ranking. While he is insanely strong otherwise, we have not seen him using his Haki enough to rank him above the users ahead.

6 Kuzan – Blackbeard Pirates

While Blackbeard is considered stronger overall due to his double Devil Fruits, Kuzan might be the strongest Haki user in Blackbeard’s crew. But that’s not saying much since Blackbeard’s whole crew leans on Devil Fruits way more than Haki. While Kuzan also possesses Observation Haki, it’s the Armament Haki where he truly shines.

He was seen using advanced-grade Armament Haki when he negated the shockwave sent by Whitebeard, though, with the help of others. He was also able to have a proper fight against Garp, who is easily one of the strongest Haki users in the anime. However, there are no more feats for him to be higher in this ranking.

5 Big Mom – Big Mom Pirates

Big Mom is one of the only few characters capable of using Supreme King Haki, as it is the rarest form to exist. Furthermore, she has also mastered it really well, as she is one of the only few Supreme King Haki users who can infuse it on themselves, which makes her rank above Kuzan and Mihawk. While Katakuri has superior Observation Haki, Big Mom surpasses him massively in Supreme King Haki and raw Armament Haki scale, which is why we have chosen her from her crew.

But here’s the thing: she leans so heavily on her Devil Fruit and Homies that her raw Haki skill doesn’t get flexed as often as her power level suggests, which makes her rank in the middle of this ranking.

4 Luffy – Straw Hat Pirates

Luffy has it all – Supreme King, Armament, and Observation Haki. His growth accelerated through intense training, from mastering Advanced Armament at Udon to unlocking Advanced Supreme King Haki against Kaido. By infusing Supreme King Haki into his strikes alongside Future Sight and Gear 5, his offensive power skyrocketed, rapidly closing the gap with the veterans. However, he is still growing, which is why he is ranked below the real monsters.

3 Kaido – Beasts Pirates

This is where the real Haki monsters begin. Kaido’s Haki matches his reputation as one of the strongest creatures to have existed in the anime. His Armament can shrug off attacks that would kill most characters in the anime, and his Observation lets him predict Luffy’s moves throughout their entire battle.

He is someone who can knock out even powerful pirates when he uses his Supreme King Haki, which places him this high in the ranking. Add in his indestructible body alongside his Advanced Haki strong enough to level a chunk of Onigashima, and Kaido easily earns his spot this high.

2 Whitebeard – Whitebeard Pirates

Even past his prime, Whitebeard’s Haki was on another level. His Supreme King Haki alone was enough to make an entire army freeze mid-battle at Marineford. He could imbue Advanced Supreme King Haki into his weapon, clashing on equal terms with Gol D. Roger. In their famous clash, their blades didn’t touch due to insane pressure from both their Haki. Feats like that place him this high in the ranking. However, Shanks outranks Whitebeard because his Haki prowess is known to be the most powerful in the One Piece verse.

1 Shanks – Red Hair Pirates

Shanks tops this ranking because his Haki feats are on a completely different scale. He demonstrated unprecedented Supreme King Haki control by paralyzing Admiral Ryokugyu from miles off the coast of Wano, and completely sinking the Kid Pirates under the ocean by himself using Divine Departure. Combined with his calm mastery over Observation and Armament, Shanks is the most complete Haki user among all the Yonko-related crews right now.

How strong do you think Shanks would be if he also had a Devil Fruit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
