One Piece: Non-Captain Pirates With The Strongest Haki

One Piece: Non-Captain Pirates With The Strongest Haki

As a seasoned One Piece aficionado, I have had the privilege of witnessing the incredible feats and powers displayed by the characters in this epic saga. Among them all, there are a handful who truly stand out, and Kozuki Oden, the Prodigal Son of Wano, is undoubtedly one of them.


This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Not all powerful Haki users in One Piece hold captain titles, like Katakuri, Ben Beckman, and Rayleigh.
  • Strong Haki users like Kuzan, Sanji, and Zoro have honed their Armament and Observation Haki to elite levels.
  • Kozuki Oden stands out as a masterful Haki user, capable of inflicting great trauma even on powerful foes like Kaido.

In the realm of “One Piece,” an abundance of formidable individuals skilled in Haki abounds. Particularly notable are the Yonko, who rank among the strongest users of this ability within the storyline. Interestingly, even pirate captains not affiliated with Yonko crews often possess significant might as well.

Frequently, these powerful Haki users who aren’t captains can overshadow their importance. However, it’s worth noting that Eiichiro Oda has crafted numerous characters like this in his narrative, and the force they wield should never be underestimated whatsoever.

8 Katakuri

The Strongest Sweet Commander Of Big Mom

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation, Supreme King

Without a doubt, Katakuri exhibits proficiency in using Haki, and it’s widely recognized that he masters all three types. His Observation Haki is exceptionally advanced, allowing him to predict future events. However, his abilities extend beyond just prediction; he also wields advanced-level Armament Haki.

Absolutely, it’s well-known among fans that the character Katakuri possesses a high level of Armament Haki, specifically the hard form that can even scratch Gear 4. And let me tell you, that’s no small feat! Furthermore, he also demonstrates the use of Conqueror’s Haki, albeit at its fundamental level.

7 Kuzan

The 10th Ship Captain Of Blackbeard

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation

It’s undeniable that Kuzan possesses immense combat power, predominantly harnessing his Devil Fruit abilities. However, this doesn’t imply that Kuzan lacks proficiency in Haki. In fact, Garp honed his Haki daily to an extraordinary degree. Kuzan trained under Garp using the Battleship Bags and elevated himself to a level where he could cause significant damage to ships, all without even activating his Haki.

This infused him with immense power, simultaneously enhancing his Haki too. Kuzan’s Haki is robust enough to hold its ground against powerful figures like Garp and knock them back using his Haki-empowered punches. He exhibits superior mastery over Observation Haki and could possibly possess the ability of Future Sight as well.

6 Sanji

The Wings Of The Pirate King

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation

Sanji is known as a formidable pirate among the Strawhats, boasting an impressive level of strength. His abilities are particularly noteworthy, with fans acknowledging his exceptional use of Observation Haki, which rivals or even surpasses Luffy’s in certain aspects, despite not having the power to foresee the future. Simultaneously, Sanji demonstrates remarkable proficiency in Armament Haki. Over time, he has refined this skill to such a degree that he can withstand the intense heat of his Ifrit Jambe without being burned and endure the resulting damage.

It’s incredibly impressive, considering the immense might of Ifrit Jambe that could fell a commander with just a handful of strikes. The fact that Sanji possesses Haki powerful enough to endure it demonstrates his status as one of the most formidable Armament Haki users in One Piece.

5 Ben Beckman

The First Mate Of The Red Hair Pirates

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation

Ben Beckman undoubtedly possesses an immense amount of power that fans haven’t fully witnessed thus far. However, it’s clear that he’s exceptionally proficient in the use of Haki, and this skill is all the more impressive given that he lacks a Devil Fruit.

It’s plausible that Beckman possesses all three forms of Haki, although at this point, viewers are aware only of his Armament and Observation Haki. The comparison of his Armament Haki to that of the Admirals implies that he holds a significant amount of power.

4 Zoro

The Combatant Of The Straw Hats

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation, Supreme King

Zoro, a member of the Strawhat Pirates, is exceptionally skilled in the art of swordsmanship and proficient in the use of all three forms of Haki. Moreover, due to his possession of the sword Enma, he is also adept at using advanced Conqueror’s Haki.

Using this sword, Zoro was able to awaken his hidden Haki ability and unleash it using the King of Hell technique at its maximum capacity. However, he struggles to sustain this full Haki intensity for an extended period, and his command over this specific Haki type is somewhat limited as well.

3 Mihawk

The World’s Best Swordsman

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation

In the world of One Piece, Buggy’s subordinate, the renowned Mihawk, is recognized as the greatest swordsman. He is undeniably one of the most powerful characters in this universe. It has been verified that Mihawk exclusively employs two forms of Haki: Observation and Armament Haki. Given his status, it’s reasonable to assume that he has mastered these abilities to their maximum potential.

It’s uncertain whether Mihawk has Supreme King Haki or not, but many would bet that he does, and moreover, they believe he has taken it to an even higher level. Although Mihawk hasn’t demonstrated any grandiose uses of Haki so far, fans are convinced that his Haki must be extraordinarily powerful.

2 Rayleigh

The Dark KingOne Piece: Non-Captain Pirates With The Strongest Haki

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation, Supreme King

Rayleigh, often referred to as the “Dark King,” stands out as an exceptional pirate, even being compared by Garp to the mighty Yonko themselves. Unlike other characters who rely on Devil Fruits, Rayleigh doesn’t use one, but he demonstrates mastery over all three forms of Haki – Armament and Conqueror’s Haki in particular, showing exceptional skill in their application.

Rayleigh possesses the ability to wield both Internal Destructive Haki and Supreme King Haki simultaneously. This unique skill proved instrumental in compelling Blackbeard’s withdrawal from Amazon Lily, showcasing his exceptional proficiency with these Haki forms.

1 Kozuki Oden

The Prodigal Son Of Wano

  • Haki Types: Armament, Observation, Supreme King

In the world of One Piece, Kuzuki Oden is widely recognized as one of the most formidable Haki masters, arguably even the best. His mastery over Ryuo and Conqueror’s Haki is legendary. The impact of his Haki on Kaido was so profound that it left deep scars across his chest and inflicted immense agony upon him.

Without the diversion during the fight, Oden likely would have defeated Kaido – a feat extremely challenging to achieve. His exceptional use of Conqueror’s Haki enabled him to perform such remarkable feats. To date, he stands as the most proficient non-captain user of Haki in One Piece.
