User blog comment:D.Dragon123/Why Haoshoku haki is useless./@comment-174.95.170.204-20130124062222

Did you see what happened at fishman island? His haki was strong enough to knock out many of the weaker opponents, 50 000 to be exact so they don't get in his way. It can also intimidate the enemy seeing as to show of one's strength. As Luffy gets stronger so does spirit, which ultimately leads to his haoshoku haki getting stronger as well, so what if the enemies are stronger in the new world, if he Luffy gets stronger and is surrounded by many enemies though they may be stronger than the ones he fought in the past, he can still knock them out without getting injured.
