Summary
At the current stage of theOne Piecestory, Conqueror’s Haki is the greatest power that one can have. The easiest way to describe it is that it’s an outward manifestation of the user’s will which they can use to dominate others, with later advanced techniques allowing them to augment their physical strength with it as well. This technique is said to be the rarest in the world.
This shows that, unlike other Haki types, Conqueror’s Haki cannot be learned, but can only be used by those born with it. So far, only the most powerful characters inOne Piecehave been seen with this power, with the unifying trait among them being great ambition. However, two powerhouses are exempt from this list, but are already believed by fans to beamong the strongest Conqueror’s Haki users, so let’s break down who they are.
Story Arc
Loguetown
Of all the possible users who can use this incredible technique, the reveal of Dragon being among them would take no one by surprise. This is because he has always been regarded as one of the most important players in the grand scheme of things asthe leader of the Revolutionary Army, which is the only organization that has actively taken the fight to the World Government rather than simply just going against their rules.
As stated earlier, the common trait that can be found in almost every user of Conqueror’s Haki is that of great ambition, which can best be seen with Luffy, Roger, Joyboy, and Zoro. Keeping this in mind, it’s almost impossible for Dragon to not be an advanced user of this power, since his dream is to change the world and the entire status quo that perpetuates the rule of the Celestial Dragons, which many consider to be an even greater undertaking than becoming the Pirate King. If his ambition is the loftiest, he’s surely going to use this legendary ability.
Someday, I promise you, they will all watch as I change the world!
As it stands, Dragon is already chalked up as one of the franchise’s most powerful characters despite havingsparing appearances throughout the story. Fewer still are any showings of his combat prowess, since that was only shown in his first appearance on Loguetown, where his mysterious powers summoned powerful gales that took out an entire regiment of Marines. This has prompted many fans to think that he is the user of the mythical Rain God Devil Fruit, which makes him the perfect candidate for a user of Conqueror’s Haki as well.
Finally, the biggest reason why he will be a user of this power and one of the greatest heroes in the Final War is due to his Lineage Factor. Being the son of the greatest Marine in history and the father of the most important pirate, both of whom have Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, almost confirms him to have the power as well. In the Final War, Dragon will play one of the biggest roles, which makes it vital for him to use Conqueror’s Haki.

From the early days of the franchise, Dracule Mihawk has been central to Zoro’s entire character arc due to his desire to become the World’s Strongest Swordsman.This title currently belongs to Mihawkand, despite his incredibly brief appearances throughout the franchise, his immense strength and presence have shown him to be one of the most formidable warriors in history.
However, Oda has never included his name among the users of Conqueror’s Haki, which has caused fans to guess a lot about him and his power. Despite this, Mihawk is almost definitely a user of this technique, the first evidence of which was teased when it was revealed that he was once a rival to Shanks, who is the strongest user of Conqueror’s Haki in the modern era. They have always been defined as equals, which would never have been possible if Mihawk didn’t have the power as well.
Moreover, Mihawk is the wielder of Yoru, which is a Supreme Grade Weapon of such strength that few can even use such an armament. It is alsoone of the only two Black Bladesin the series that are formed from a process of strengthening weapons by using them extensively with Haki, which eventually permanently infuses the power within them, making them far stronger than before. This also teases the fact that Mihawk is likely an adept user of the Advanced forms of Conqueror’s Haki as well.
The title of ‘World’s Strongest Swordsman’ implies a great level of strength, since being a swordsman is one of the predominant ways someone rises in power on the Grand Line. To be the greatest among them implies an unequal level of strength and skill that is among the top tiers in the story, which is only really possible if one has Conqueror’s Haki. Mihawk’s role in the Final Saga is unclear, but he is most likely another powerful user of this power.
