Powers & Abilities Is Luffy becoming the "Hakiman" many theoritized Shanks to be?

#1
So we often hear about the description of red hair shanks' abilities as being different of that of a traditional Swordsman,fans often say he is a haki master or more generally an "Hakiman" .
Now the guy doesn't have much feats so it is impossible to confirm that but the kid he bet his arm on has been gradually upgrading his haki game since the beggining of postskip.

Luffy went from regular hardening to barrier haki to penetration Ryuo in the Coa department in Wano.

Luffy also went from decently average Coo to very good Future sight Coo .

We know from Rayleigh that Coc can't be trained but becomes more powerful as the user becomes stronger.

So do you think Luffy is much more legitimate to be called an Hakiman than Shanks?An do you think Luffy will be the strongest Hakiman that ever lived by Eos?

He will be when he masters advanced CoC. :optimistic:
Tbh i wasn't on board with those "adv Coc " stuff before but with how Oda has been fleshing out The colors of haki for Luffy to have,I think it may really end up being a thing.


Next arc,Luffy gets some more Rayleigh flashbacks on adv Coc ftw.

Why don't you think Roger too was?

Tbh Raleigh's mastery over all colours haki is probably top 3 in the world right now ,Zoro is more Coa oriented only.

Rayleigh seems to have been the Hakiman of the Roger pirates which means that Zoro will be the hakiman of the Straw Hat pirates.

At this point Luffy is obviously mastering each haki in order. Observation -> armament -> Conqueror's is the only logical conclusion for a shonen manga.

Possibly flashbacks, but I believe he'll have to learn it from someone like he learned from Kata and Hyo.

Is haki man an actual thing people call shanks?
I always thought that was a joke about how people refuse to call him a swordsman
Yes it's not a joke.

Hakimanship is a thing for a part of the fandom, they intend it as a style. Funnily it's ok to consider it a style too.

The logical issue is that even though Shanks is an "hakiman" he also still remains a swordsman, hence fundamentally still weaker than Hawkeye.

Probably. I think pre time skip was him developing his df. During his ts training he developed both his df and started to learn the basics of haki and post ts is him obtaining top tier haki.
So he will push his df and his haki to their best.
In an haki fight,do you think he will be the strongest Eos?

I'm not sure the point of the thread tbh .... but yes ... Luffy very well be the best Haki user of all times

cause he have all 3 of them in advance and full power form

but his main Haki is neither CoO or CoA ... his strongest Haki will be CoC

Shanks is a swordsman NO DOUBT as far as now

but Haki man simply means : his main fire power is CoC

The point is to know if as of now Luffy is more legitimate to be called Hakiman than Shanks and if he will be the strongest of them all Eos?
I mean Haki man is a term of CoC .... I think every person who ever used it meant it in this way
or used it cause they assume Shanks is best overall Haki user

but I don't think luffy can even start to have a claim unless he can cut heavens with his CoC

but in future ... SURE why not
