General & Others How will Conqueror’s Haki be handled with the Straw Hats?

[Electricmastro]

In light of Gaban’s explanation of needing to be keen on Conqueror’s Haki against the Holy Knights, it seems apparent to me that Conqueror’s Haki will be given a boost with the Straw Hats in order to affectively handle them, the Five Elders, Imu, and whatever other regenerative demons Imu conjures up.

I know people like Chinjao has it and is on the Grand Fleet, but they can’t always rely on people like him since he’s considerably older and reasonably can’t handle Imu’s forces as much as Zoro could. He, as well as Shanks, are likely to be farther away too since they’d be allies instead of being part of the main crew. And thus likely aren’t as reliable to be part of the most crucial action against Imu, which the Straw Hats will surely be most involved in, since they’re the main characters after all.

So as for the crew themselves, Luffy and Zoro have it, but that mostly likely isn’t enough against Nine Holy Knights and Five Elders, in addition to Imu. Yamato is set to join like Oden joined Roger, and her Conqueror’s will def be very helpful since she used it to keep up with Kaido quite a bit. Sanji may possibly develop it, assuming the conversation he had with Gaban goes anywhere.

What else?

 

[Doggo]

Luffy's direct subordinate from the Grand Fleet is Sai, not Chinjao, though.
So maybe Sai manages to unlock it?

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Dang didn't even notice ElectricMastro returned. Welcome back man
Anyway I reckon nearly every Straw Hat will get it if they really have to. At this point I don't think Oda cares about how rare the ability should be or other things that would limit the amount of people that can get it

 

[Yoho]

🤔 we might actually have enough forces

Luffy v Imu

EB4 are all likely to get im even coming around to Sanji

That's 5 people already

Shanks
Yamato
Loki (potentially)
Hancock
Sabo(potentially)
Dragon
Gaban
Rayleigh
Chinjao
Kidd(if turns out alive)

That's already 14 v 14

Then we have potential WG turn coats that' have or likely will have conquerors

Sengoku
Garp
Koby

🤔 which brings us to 18 total conquerors/potential conquerors

Which means we don't need every strawhat to have conquerors we have enough allies with it to cover the gaps

Chinjao is the one with Conqueror’s Haki though, and if Gaban couldn’t completely bypass the black magic immortality Sommers has, then I’m not sure what problems Chinjao would run into.

And Sai who doesn’t seem experienced with Conqueror’s at all, not even sure how he’d fare against the Holy Knights and Elders as well.

I mean, you are the one bringing the Grand Fleet as players against the HKs.
If the grand fleet does indeed takes a center role fighitng HKs, it wont be Chinjao at the front, CoC or not. It would be the one that actually drank the sake thing, Sai, Bartolomeo, Leo, Cavendish, etc.

 

[Konstantis]

Imagine the worst possible way - that will be exactly what Oda chose

 

[Sir Yasheen]

All the East Blue straw hats will get it at least

I bring them up because I question how effective they'd be against the Holy Knights and Elders, because I've been told that the Straw Hats don't have to fight everyone, and if that's the case, they deserve to be brought up and asked about as well.

 

[Fn Lucci]

If Nami gets it I will shit my pants and record the reactions of everyone in the supermarket as I walk around soiled.

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

mugis that'll have it imo are probs

luffy, zoro, nami and sanji. The Franky fan inside me says maybe but my bro dont need it after the upgrades from egghead

jimbe if not having before wont have now, he'd be the most knowledgeable on how to unlock

in the end i just really doubt many or any will unlock

 

[Royal Kick]

Only the M3 will have CoC, the rest will either rely on a completely different way to hurt the HKs or they will use weapons in which the M3's CoC will be stored.

 

[shastar-sei]

Sanji and maybe Usopp will awaken CoC Haki. Both also seem likely to gain Future Sight.

All the Straw Hats without Haki should learn basic Armament and Observation Haki. Armament, in particular, would be great for covering Robin's sprouted limbs weakness. Advanced CoA's emission & internal destruction would enhance Jinbe's fighting style well. Franky should also consider incorporating seastone into his arsenal.

From the Grand Fleet, Don Sai and Hajrudin are the likely ones to awaken CoC, and maybe even Orlumbus.

Orlumbus is the real dark horse here. He commands a fleet of 56 ships and 4,300 men. Even enemy soldiers listen to him.

Other than this, I'd rather not see CoC Haki handed around to everyone. Powerful allies can fill in the gaps.

 

[barai]

Giving conquerors to all straw hats and fleet captains too seems overkill. Luffy is probably going to pull a Joyboy and seal some of his haki to those without.

What if they run out though? Luffy can’t be everyone all at once to supply Haki all the time.

He can seal it in objects for future use, ropes like Joyboy did, and only release when needed.

Usopp theory other within the immediate crew,sanji probably for fanservice

 

[Welkin]

Sanji and Usopp have the best chance currently since they have haki period

Nami comes after that due to narrative

I don't think Jinbei will unlock it and tbh I'm against him unlocking it due to the fact that he's a veteran. There's no way bros pushing 50 and randomly unlocks CoC after being a pirate for 30ish years

The other older Strawhats I can kinda excuse since they weren't actually pirates for that long... though I don't think any of the older Strawhats would get CoC anyway

Franky has the mentality but he's a science guy that's already pseudo commander tier without any haki types. Out of every SH I think he's the least likely to unlock any type of haki cause he really doesn't need it

Robin is the polar opposite case. No idea why she doesn't have at least basic armament at this point in the story. We've seen random scrubs with both haki types but Robin can't get one?

 

[Mr.9000]

I don’t think every sh will have a solo fight against the holy knights. I also don’t think we’re getting any more than five members having coc: Luffy, Zoro, Loki?, Yamato?, & Usopp? I also don’t think it’s necessary for majority of the shs to have conquerors haki. I suspect oda to show us an alternative method in defeating the holy knights.

 

[thedarkdragon11]

My take:

1. I doubt all Straw Hats will have CoC simply because majority of them can't even awaken their CoA and CoO...
2. The moment Gaban reveals that CoC is needed to damage the demons, I'm expecting either the following to awaken it:
   • Nami, Usopp, Sanji (to complete East Blue conquerors and if only one of Yamato or Loki will join)
   • Sanji, Jinbe (if Yamato and Loki joins)
3. Why am I expecting 6 CoC users in the crew? Simply because of Imu and the Gorosei...
4. I highly doubt that mere allies will be taking on those 6 demons... Because of the doodle mural representation and the existence of GK... Those ally CoC users will be taking on the GK, Kong, Sakazuki, etc. with the help of other SHs... Imu and the Gorosei were Nika and nakama's rivals, Luffy and his crew should take care of them...
5. CoC for everyone only makes sense EoS when the crew reaches their prime (timeskip as to where they are when Luffy is 40 as Oda hinted to show), not during the final war...
6. We are near the end of the series, only CoA and CoO makes sense for the majority...
7. There has to be some other means to damage the "weaker" GKs without CoC... That's what the likes of Robin, Franky and Brook (alongside those who are unfortunate having no CoC) will be utilizing...
