The Number of Men Luffy, Shanks, and Rayleigh Could Knock Out Using Haoshoku Haki!
How many men could they defeat just by using the Haoshoku Haki technique?
Anime & Manga | 11 May
Haoshoku Haki is one of the most fascinating things to discuss in One Piece universe. The power bestowed in a few chosen people, indicating their qualities of a king. In other words, it’s almost impossible for Luffy to ever become a Pirate King without mastering his Haoshoku Haki.
In the Fishman Island saga, we’ve been shown that Luffy could defeat half of the Hordy Jones’ men. The main antagonist of the Fishman Island saga commanded a 100,000 men army who surrounded Luffy at the time, in other words, Luffy had defeated 50,000 of them just by using his Haoshoku Haki.
In a column of SBS One Piece volume 65, a fan asked, “Luffy's Haoshoku Haki was able to affect 50,000 men, but how many would Shanks and the others be able to defeat?” It’s quite an interesting question, comparing Luffy’s level of Haoshoku Haki with Shanks’ and the others.
Oda then replied, “In exactly the same place and exact same situation as Luffy, Shanks or Rayleigh may have been capable of knocking out all 100,000. In a different setting, you can't really compare just by asking "how many people". Being able to knock an enemy out with Haki depends entirely on having an overwhelming power gap between the two.
In Luffy's case, the point is the number of people that were so weak that they were not even worth him fighting. If there were 100,000 to-some-extent-strong-willed pirates before him, it's possible that he wouldn't even be able to knock out a single one. On a related note, as one's proficiency with Haoshoku advances, it's even possible to target a few people in a crowd to not knockout.”
Isn’t that impressive, Shanks and Rayleigh could easily wipe out those 100,000 fishmen if they’re in that situation. Yet it’s not that surprising though, Rayleigh’s probably the strongest Haoshoku Haki user who still alive. Whereas Shanks is already a Yonkou, surely his mastery of Haki would be somewhere around the “god” level.
Keep in mind that one’s Haki prowess can’t be measured just by how many people they could affect, but how big the power gap between the two. Judging from their abilities, Shanks and Rayleigh could even annihilate the entirety of a random pirate ship just by their Haoshoku Haki.
That was the comparison between Luffy’s, Shanks’, and Rayleigh’s Haoshoku Haki explained by Oda in SBS One Piece volume 65. If you find this interesting, feel free to share this article with your pals. Stick around for other SBS One Piece discussions on DuniaGames!
