After Elbaf, One Piece's Strawhats can have 5 Conqueror's Haki users

The Straw Hat Pirates have become one of the most powerful crews on the high seas One Pieceand as such it is not a surprise to know that they have powerful Conqueror's Haki users. Right now, Luffy and Zoro can harness the power of the Conqueror's Haki, but the final tale of One Piece will give more members of the Straw Hat Pirates this ability. In fact, by the end of the series, it is very likely that 5 members of the Straw Hat Pirates will have access to this special power, which will greatly help them become the strongest crews on the seas.

Why Luffy's Crew Needs More Supreme King Users

Right now, the Straw Hat Pirates have two powerful Conqueror's Haki users in Luffy and Zoro. It's no surprise to know that both are very strong, but only one can actually use this power properly, and that's Luffy. Zoro didn't even realize he had access to Supreme King Haki until the Elbaf Arc, where Scopper Gaban told him of his disposition to this power. As mentioned by Gaban, this power can only be truly useful when the user knows how to control it properly. As such, in the Elbaf arc, Zoro will have to learn to properly manipulate his Conqueror's Haki. But even if he does, the Straw Hat Pirates won't be unique in any sense if it's just these two.

Looking at the main goals of the Straw Hat Pirates in the grand scheme of things, this team has to do the impossible and reach the top of the world, something even Roger and Rocks couldn't do. As such, the Straw Hat Pirates must outperform all other crews. In fact, most of the strongest crews have more than just two conquerors. This is especially the case for Luffy and the Straw Hats as they have to go up against an army of immortals in the final saga. Having only two Conqueror's Haki users won't cut it, and they need more firepower.

How Sanji, Nami and Usopp will awaken their latent conqueror power

In the final saga of One Piece, the straw hat pirate is sure to get more Conqueror's Haki users, starting with Sanji. Considering that the Straw Hat Pirates mirror the Roger Pirates a lot, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Sanji awaken the Conqueror's Haki in Elbaf. In fact, Oda has already teased this power heavily, and it makes sense, given that he's already pitted against Saint Killingham, who is a holy knight and an immortal. Sanji needs to win his battle against him, and to do that he needs the Conqueror's Haki.

Sanji won't be the only one to awaken this power. Usopp is yet another member of the Straw Hats who has a good chance of awakening the Supreme King's power, and that's because Oda has already teased it for him. In fact, it would be a proper ending to his character arc if he awakened Conqueror's Haki, as it would mean that he became a brave warrior of the sea and his lie of being a powerful Conqueror's Haki user came true again.

Luffy is powerful, and his overwhelmed attacks can take down even a Yonko in One Piece.

Then you also have to look at Nami, who Oda himself teased for being a user of Conqueror's Haki after the Wano arc, when she beat Luffy. Both Jinbe and Chopper openly proclaimed that Nami was using the Supreme King's color, and while this was a gag at the time, Oda could easily make it a reality, especially considering the fact that Nami's past is still a mystery.

Why The East Blue 5 will dominate the final saga

With 5 Conqueror's Haki users, the Straw Hat Pirates can continue to dominate the New World. It will then make sense for them to stand up to the likes of the Holy Knights and the Five Elders, as they can actually hurt them and even knock them down permanently.

  • This would also allow the East Blue Straw Hats to surpass all rival crews, such as the Red-Hair Pirates, Cross Guild, and Blackbeard Pirates. The Straw Hats have tough battles ahead of them, but if they were to have a mighty band of conquerors on board, they would truly be unstoppable.

Outdo The Legacy Of The Rocks and Roger Pirates

It may seem excessive to some fans to see the Straw Hat Pirates have 5 conquerors on board, but it makes perfect sense when you compare them to other powerful crews in the world. The Roger Pirates had four powerful Conqueror's Haki users on board, they were Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, Oden and Shanks. Meanwhile, the Rocks Pirates also had four powerful Conqueror's Haki users, and they included Rocks, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido, with potentially the likes of Shiki also having access to it.

Obviously crews with multiple conquerors can be in One Piece world, and if the Straw Hats are to surpass their legacy, then they must further hone their skills and become true kings. It would also make sense for the East Blue 5 to specifically be Conquerors since they are the core of the Straw Hat Pirates and the most important characters in all of One Piece.
