User blog comment:Red HAired Shanks/Does "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk possess haki???/@comment-3119203-20101111133501

Not all strong people have haki, it would be lame if haki was so easy to obtain. Thats why all of the Marines top fighters have haki. It has also been shown many times that you can be strong without haki. For example Kuma, Crocodile, Smoker, Blackbeard, and Jinbe don't have haki and they still kick ass. As for Mihawk, he matched Shanks in swordsmanship, not haki. He doesn't need haki to be strong, for he can still slash through ships and cut through glaciers
