One Piece: Haki Officially Defeats Devil Fruits?

The debate about which one is superior between devil fruit and Haki will never end for the fans of One Piece to discuss.

Both Haki and devil fruits are the two main sources of power in the series.

Both of these abilities are owned by many of the characters in the story.

There are those who have one of them, but there are also those who have both powers at once.

Oda Sensei may have deliberately created the concept of Haki to be able to match the tremendous power of the devil fruit.

And it seems Oda Sensei has shown the answer to the long debate which one is superior to Haki and also a devil fruit.

The answer itself was shown in chapter 1047 yesterday. In that chapter we saw the continuation of the fight between Kaido and Luffy.

Kaido then mentioned to Luffy that a strong devil fruit is not enough to be able to conquer the entire ocean.

Kaido also briefly mentioned the name of Gol D. Roger, the pirate king, related to this.

According to Kaido, Roger was shown to have conquered the ocean and became the pirate king without any help from the power of the devil fruit.

Kaido then emphasized that to be able to conquer the oceans, what a pirate needed to have was the power of Haki.

Because, Haki is able to surpass all of them.

And if you look at what Oda has presented regarding Haki so far, Kaido's words may be true.
There are several things that make Haki superior to devil fruits:

Haki is able to make the user feel the surroundings even though it does not rely on the ability of the five senses.

Haki is able to make the user look to the future.
Haki is able to protect the user from various attacks, either direct attacks or using weapons.
Haki is able to make the user increase his attack power and also surpass the power of the devil fruit. In fact, the durability of its users will increase.

Haki is able to make the user impose the power of will on other living beings.
Haki allows the user to cover part or all of his body with this willpower.

It is also possible for the power of Haki to be coated on the weapon and affect the surrounding environment.

In fact, both high-level Haki – such as Advanced Conqueror Haki – or the awakening of a devil fruit are equally extraordinary, as shown in this battle in Onigashima.

However, Oda often shows that high-level Haki is a little more epic and more powerful than the power of devil fruit awakening.

And judging by what is presented in the story, maybe this is true.

For example, Doflamingo is known to have succeeded in awakening the power of the Ito Ito no Mi, but he is much weaker than Luffy or someone far above him.

Katakuri is also one of the characters who rely on the devil fruit Awakening as a source of strength.

However, even though Katakuri is a strong figure and has never been defeated at all, he is proven not to be among the ranks of characters who are considered the most powerful or at a level above him.

Katakuri and Doflamingo did manage to awaken their devil fruit powers, and they were also able to use Conqueror Haki.

Unfortunately, in reality, even though they can have that Haki ability they can't use Advanced Conqueror Haki.

Oda himself even presented a dialogue that could be said to be proof that Advanced Conqueror Haki's abilities were superior to Awakening.

An example of this is how fans were hyped up by how Luffy activated Advanced Conqueror Haki compared to the moment when Law and Kid awakened his devil fruit powers.

Kaido himself even said that only those who are considered the strongest – and only a few people are considered the most powerful – can use Advanced Conqueror Haki.

Although not all strong characters in the series use Advanced Conqueror Haki, usually those who use Advanced Conqueror Haki are among the strongest, such as Luffy and Kaido and Roger.

So, it can be concluded that the power of Haki is far superior to the power of devil fruit.

This is also recognized by the most powerful being in the world, Kaido.

Even though Devil Fruit Awakenings are incredibly powerful, as some have shown, High Level Haki is still superior.

This is proven by only a few people who are able to use their powers, and some of these people are characters that are considered the most powerful in the series.

What do you think, do you agree with this?
