well when one has Haoshoku haki! to the level of shanks one powewrful burst is enough to even destroy buildings i guess, just look wat his presence did to whitebeard's ship. so am thinking wat if he releases it intentionally. even if u r reselent to it destroying ur footing and sending objests towards can throw off even an admeral, giving you the opportunity to attack. so ai guess haki is a usefull fighting tool and does add to ur power level. plus those cocky logia users are always on guard when fighting a haki uses, so they tend not to be too careless when fighting, if u think about not all DF users are good physical users without their abilities, so having had their DF powers nullified by haki, there again the haki users gets a good chance to cup a win in a fight.
