Forum:Straw hat haki

I believe that each Strawhat member is going to get some form of haki after the 2 year skip. Raleigh said that haki could be used in different unique ways. I think because they will not get direct training, the other Strawhats will learn about the Haki later on or during the course of a hard battle.

Luffy: Since he is getting direct training I believe he will have a basic concept on all of them but the one that he will probably gravitate towards will be the armor one to hit logia type users.

Zoro: Zoro will probably learn how to put haki on his swords. The air slicing techniques will probably become extra strong and hurt logia types.

Sanji: Haki imbued kicks. Sort of obvious

Nami: I think her ability to basically sense the weather is a form of haki in and of itself. The haki where you can sense your surroundings and the next persons move. This makes her able to dodge opponents better too.

Ussop: He will be able to put haki on his projectiles like the amazons. I also think that Ussop will only be able to use his haki atttacks will he is Sogeking.I think Van Augar uses haki to attack from farther away because of him hitting that seagull and knowing that it didn't die. Ussop could get that too maybe

Chopper: Maybe he can use a form of haki to tell what is wrong with someone without examining them. This will make him a far better doctor and he can find a person's weakness easy.

Robin: Use the haki to sense people far away and use her attack on them from a far greater distance.

Franky: I don't know about him, he will probably just have a whole new array of weapons to use.

Brook: Seeing Scratchman Apoo attack Kizaru made me think that maybe Brook can infuse haki on his music and cause blades. This will also explain how he gets out of that cage. It will be cool to see Brook being able to cause illusions with the music he plays. He already can make people sleep, maybe with haki music he can affect what you see or make you dizzy by attacking the inner ear.

This is pretty good.

I agree. Though I don't really think I would like for all of them to learn haki, I think this way is pretty cool, rather than having them know one of the colors of haki, have them focus on one of them and infuse it with their specialty. I could absolutely see Usopp learning how to infuse haki into bullets or weapons, Robins color of observation to find people and attack from a great distance and Chopper's color of observation to figure out what's wrong with somebody is genius.

Yeah i agree with you too.

I dunno, I feel like each member will get good at what they need to be good at (i.e. their role in the crew) first, and Haki and other abilities will come secondary. Of course Luffy is gonna get a great deal of training of his already-awakened Haki, Rayleigh pretty much said it out loud. However, if you look at the others, they're already in positions in which they're already suited for improvement of their specific field.

Zoro is stuck on an island and training with Mihawk, the greatest swordsman in the One Piece universe. Nami is at Weatheria, the weather capital of the world. Usopp is learning to become a mighty warrior as he fights alongside Heracles (who was named after a mighty warrior himself). Sanji is in the Kamabakka Kingdom, where the residents not only know diesel kickboxing techniques, but can cook up a darn good dinner as well. Chopper is on an island that has one of the most massive libraries we've seen, as well as exotic rainforest-esque plants that could be potential medicines. Robin is doing God-knows-what, but it involves the Revolutionaries so it's gotta be important. Franky is at the most technologically advanced location in the One Piece universe reading up on a mysterious professor's blueprints. And Brook is a traveling performer. (Yeah, that one's kinda lame, but he's still refining his skills as a musician.)

Anyway, I don't think each of them will develop Haki, because if every single Strawhat has it, it'll lose its coolness. If anyone else, I'd have to say Usopp is the most likely candidate, as his training is closest to what Luffy is going through right now (sans the rapidly changing climate). 2xN 23:55, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Just because you get a color of the haki doesnt mean that its going to be the same for everyone. Haki is their ambition, and I think that the Strawhats are the most ambitious to reach their goals. Brook refining his skills as a musician is all well and good, but Oda isn't gonna give them this time period to just improve on what they are one of the best at. Naturally they will get stronger, the main focus is to keep the manga going by making them efficient in their fights. As their role on the ship, that just makes it more realistic as to how they travel the New World. Their personal goals are now second to Luffy's goal, and in order to make his happen they must become stronger fighters too. Also Sanji is not just learning how to cook a good dinner, but its food prepared in a way that gives the user energy and muscle building supplements, maybe the Okamas are able to infuse haki into their meals.
 * Truth be told, I don't really wanna see the use of Haki for everything, cause then it gets way overplayed and again, loses its coolness. 2xN 20:07, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes.I dont want haki to overplayed too.I mean maybe the "monster trio"would know some sort of haki.Even usopp and nami.But come to think of it even not the strongest people have haki.,Hitori uses haki Colby have Haki,almost or all Kuja tribe have haki.So not agreeing with every strawhat have haki here is what i think which strawhat won't have haki.Chopper learns how to control his monster form.robin can't think of any both robin and dragon seems so mysterious.franky learn or try to build some body parts with seastone insert that way his punches can hurt any devil fruit power,and Brook to me he is already quite strong but he always space out and talk about his skull joke he probably learn how to hypnotize with his music.with learning how to stand in certain angle probably he will now concentrate more on battle and not skull joke.this is my opinion.U guys can hate it but this is my thought.waddupwes.Awesome!Awesome!
 * Just my opinion, but I wouldn't wanna see Brook's "skull jokes" be compromised for improved fighting ability. 2xN 21:08, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * When the show first started there were hardly any devil fruit users, but as the show progressed, more and more users started appearing. Whenever a new enemy appeared them having a devil fruit power didn't mean that it was "overplayed" but they were different. Their powers were incorporated with their fighting style becoming something different entirely.
 * What I am trying to say is that devil fruit powers were a major thing in the Grand Line but in the New World that is not going to cut it anymore. Haki will be the main thing there and in order for Luffy to become Pirate King, him and his crew must be able to overcome haki users with their own haki.
 * I do admit that it will be boring if everyone uses haki in the same way but if they use it with their own fighting styles in uniques ways it will be interesting to see. I don't want them to learn it after the 2 years but by the end of the New world or close to the end I want them all to have something to combat haki and logia users.Kujokilla 23:35, September 13, 2010 (UTC)Kujokilla
 * At the risk of sounding like I'm riding Oda's dick, I think the core reason there were so many Devil Fruits in the Grand Line is because that's about the same time Oda started focusing most of his time and energy on One Piece, and his creativity and imagination went overboard. Who else but Oda would create so many super-powers that could only be used by one character each (not to mention a whole crap-load of characters)? The thing with Haki is it can only be divided into so many categories. If (what I assume to be) the entire second half of the series consists of every character using only that one super-power used in three, maybe twelve different ways, the creator's mind is going to explode. Of course this is all theory. Bon-boy and Croco-boy 05:15, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, first off, I like the ideas given back up at the beginning of this forum. Some of them are very creative as well as likely to be achieved. However, I also think that not all the member
 * should learn Haki.

 * Luffy- Yes, Duh, & OH MY GOD of course he gets Haki.
 * Zoro- I'm surprised at this, but I think his opinion of using Haki could go either way. ("Heh... now I can get stronger/ it interupts with TRUE swordsmanship.")
 * Sanji- Same reasons with Zoro. ("Tsk... now I know I'm stronger than that marimo/ I don't need it to become stronger")
 * Nami- I like the idea of Nami using Haki to learn better how to know her surroundings, and I aprove the possable development of it, but I don't see her learning it in her current situation.
 * Usopp- Definately. He is in the perfect situation to learn something like Haki, and he could utilize it well with his weapons and tools. But will he get Haki as well as the other training and
 * pop greens from Heracles?
 * Chopper- I disaprove of Chopper using Haki. I don't think it's a good match. But I do like Chopper using the herbs and plants on his island to make a more effective and controlable
 * rumble ball. Possibly a longer time of use!
 * Robin- Seriously? Who the hell knows what could be going on with her and Dragon?
 * Franky- No Haki please. Just becoming wicked stronger with way cooler weaponry.
 * Brook- Like Zoro and Sanji, I don't think that brook should be using Haki incorporations into his musical based attacks. He should definately use variations on those though. I could also
 * see him getting training of sorts from the long arm tribe due to sparring for entertainment.
 * My thoughts on who should or could get Haki in the strawhat crew. Feel free to disaprove or agree.--Jety Lefr
 * Like I said before, Usopp is the one I see most likely developing Haki. And I do agree with Nami as well, and you raise a good point with Robin and her workings with Dragon. There's one theory I'd like to bring up with Zoro and why he wouldn't particularly need Haki (if this theory were to be true.) He has developed the ability to "hear the breath" of his targets, being able to cut through things like steel, and I wonder if it's possible that this ability could be applied to fluid elements (i.e. Logia users.) Imagine if Zoro were to slice through a Logia user, and when said user reforms himself, he has a cut/gash where Zoro sliced him. This would not classify as Haki, which solidifies a fruit-user before/during the attack is performed. I know there's more to Haki than just "hitting Logias", but if Zoro were to have this ability, he wouldn't need another brand of Haki in addition to it.
