This article contains spoilers from the Elbaf arc of One Piece.
One Piece's The Elbaf arc has introduced fans to quite a few exciting characters, all of whom have unique abilities up their sleeves. Given that this is the last tale of One PieceOda has done incredibly well to reveal some of the most overpowered Devil Fruits, but also some of the most skilled users of Haki.
Say hello to The New Conqueror's Haki User Of The Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece
A new character among the Straw Hat pirates gets the conqueror's haki, and it will be a major in One Piece.
As always, Haki and Devil Fruits are the core of the power system in One Piece, and that definitely won't change in this arc as well. Oda goes on to reveal very powerful Devil Fruit users in the Final Saga and, with it, powerful users of Haki as well. In fact, in the Elbaf arc itself, Oda has now revealed to fans an absolute master of Haki usage that will surely be key in the upcoming battle against Imu and the demon army. This Haki Master is none other than Lokithe Cursed Prince of Elbaf.
Haki users are essential in The Final Saga Of One Piece

Haki does not succumb to the Devil Fruit ability

Conqueror's Haki is the weakness of those with immortality
One Piece the fans know very well that Haki users will be crucial in the upcoming battle against Imu in the final saga of One Piece. A preview of the Great War will be given to fans in the Elbaf arc, as Imu themselves said. To fight battles at such a high level, Haki is extremely important, and fans know very well that for the Straw Hat Pirates, mastering this power is the next step.
While using Haki is always a huge advantage for anyone in battle, the fact is that the Straw Hat Pirates are up against the Holy Knights and Imu forces at the moment. These forces are incredibly powerful and cannot be countered by normal means, as claimed by the likes of Gaban in the past. Imu's powers can only be countered by using Supreme King Haki, or Conqueror's Haki. As such, the Holy Knights standing in the way of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the demon army currently rampaging through Elbaf, can only be stopped by using this special Haki type. It is for this reason that the use of Haki is more important than ever before, and mastery of it even more important.
This is the power to overwhelm, also called the color of the Supreme King Haki. Most people who have made a name for themselves in the world possess this power. Although you can control the Color of the Supreme King, you cannot train it to become stronger directly. It is the embodiment of the user's spirit. It only gets stronger if the user himself gets stronger. — Silver's Rayleigh explains Conqueror's Haki to Luffy
The Haki users of the Straw Hat Pirates
right now, The Straw Hat Pirates have two users of Conqueror's Haki, they are Luffy and Zoro. Even in the case of these two, their use of Haki is not correct. Luffy, despite having Conqueror's Haki, did not properly use it against the Five Elders and was unable to nullify their regeneration or even slow it down even once in Egghead. Meanwhile, Zoro didn't even know he had Conqueror's Haki until recently, and as Gaban said, a person who doesn't recognize their Haki fails to use it properly. As such, Zoro has been a failure as a Haki user thus far, and he needs to level up badly.
Then, that's the case with Sanji, who hasn't even awakened it yet and will likely continue to do so in the upcoming chapters of One Piece. It's clear that the Straw Hat Pirates need to level up significantly, as Haki users are more important than ever in One Piece. However, they will have help in the form of Loki, who has now been confirmed to be a master of Conqueror's Haki.
Loki's Conqueror's Haki was recently revealed in the Elbaf flashback, and with his powers he has done things that no other character in One Piece can, and that is kill a Holy Knight.
Loki is already a master of Haki in one piece

Loki's Haki was able to stop Ragnir
-
His Conqueror's Haki was able to put an end to Harald
That Loki is a master of Haki shouldn't come as a surprise to any fan. Fans know that he has the blood of ancient giants in him and at the same time has enormous potential. He is also the only one that Ragnir truly accepted, showing that he is special even among those with the blood of the ancient giants.
One Piece Anime makes a big change to the manga
The One Piece anime just made a big change. This change is huge and goes strictly against the manga.
Loki wields the power of the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbafbut more than that, he also has access to powerful Conqueror's Haki. It was with this Haki that Loki gained Ragnir's respect and gained access to Elbaf's Devil Fruit in the first place. Fans already know that Loki is a big user of Observation Haki. His weapon Haki remains to be seen, but one can be sure that he possesses it. Most importantly, Loki has access to Supreme King Haki.
When used in combination with his Devil Fruit power, Loki can even go on to kill the immortals in the One Piece world with his Haki, which is something unique to him. Even the likes of Roger Pirates couldn't kill the immortals in the One Piece world, yet Loki was able to do the impossible and deliver the death blow to King Harald after he was taken over by Imu's Covenant powers. Clearly, Loki's Haki mastery is on a whole other level, and fans will surely get to see that later.
Loki's Haki skill will be showcased in the Imu battle
As it stands right now, Loki has already been freed by Luffy and his friends, which means he will soon be fighting Imu and his demon army. Loki gave fans a glimpse of his powers when he unleashed the attack known as Niflheim on a Draugr in the underworld of Elbaf. In the next chapter, however, Loki will head to the Solar World with everyone else and then confront Imu in battle. Fans will also get a good look at Loki's Devil Fruit abilities soon enough, and it goes without saying that this arc is only going to get more exciting from here on out.
More than that, Loki will show off his incredible Haki skill in the fight against the demon armyand it will certainly be a sight to behold. Meanwhile, fans should also remember that Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Gaban will also continue to showcase Haki's massive feats alongside Loki. This means that the next special phase of the Elbaf arc is where the Haki masters will shine. There really is no better time to be a fan One Piece than right now.
