This article contains spoilers for One Piece Final Saga.
one piece The final series is currently underway, in which Oda is revealing some of the most powerful characters fans have been waiting decades for, including the red-headed Shanks and the Five Elders. Of course these powerful monsters one piece The world often relies on special abilities.
in one pieceTwo powers dominate, used by the majority of powerful characters, and they are Devil Fruit and Haki. The Devil Fruit was introduced and became widely available. one piece From the first chapter, fans know that Haki was introduced appropriately about halfway through. Devil Fruit and Haki are equally important in the world of One Piece. However, it can be said that one is more destructive while the other is much more versatile.
Say hello to the new powerhouse of the One Piece world
The strongest before Whitebeard has been revealed. His strength is comparable to Rox or Roger from One Piece.
Often, fans tend to think that Haki is the most powerful force that exists in the world of One Piece. but, In recent chapters, Oda has once again confirmed that in some cases, Devil Fruits can provide what Haki cannot, and in fact provide far more capabilities than a Haki user can muster with their raw abilities..
Haki and Devil Fruits are the two main one-piece power systems.
-
The Devil Fruit appeared in Chapter 1 of One Piece.
-
Haki was properly explained in Episode 597 of One Piece.
When was the Devil Fruit first introduced? one piece Chapter 1, When Luffy ate Gomu Gomu no Mi. At that moment, Luffy's devil fruit is said to have a mysterious power that turns anyone who eats it into rubber and takes away their ability to swim. As the story progressed, fans saw many other powerful Devil Fruit abilities introduced as well. Next, a buggy holding a Chop Chop fruit appeared, and soon after, other powerful abilities appeared.
Luffy, did you eat the fruit we ate? Fool, you'll turn into rubber and never be able to swim again! — Shanks to Luffy
Oda then detailed the concept of Devil Fruits and told fans that there are three types in the One Piece world.
And slowly but steadily, Oda developed these Devil Fruit types greatly. This is especially true in the Grand Line, where monsters crawl with all their might.
As for Haki, this ability, although first teased in the story a long time ago, was only properly introduced at the halfway point, when One Piece skipped by two years. It was Silver's Rayleigh who trained Luffy in the ways of Haki, and since then this power has become an integral part of the entire power system of the One Piece world. In many cases, fans even believe that hockey is the stronger of the two. While devil fruits grant those who eat them mystical abilities, Haki is a spiritual power that everyone is born with but only a few can awaken.
Simply put, Haki allows the user to tap into spiritual energy to gain a sixth sense or even counter Devil Fruit abilities by using it for offensive and defensive purposes, and in its most powerful form, it is capable of overpowering almost anyone with its immense strength as well as countering demonic powers such as regeneration and immortality.. Looking at what Haki can do to users, it can be said to be one of the most dangerous abilities in the world of One Piece, as well as the most reliable. Devil Fruit users will definitely die without Haki in the New World, but Haki users can easily survive with some strength training..
Haki isn't necessarily the most powerful force in One Piece
-
The Devil Fruit can give you more power than Haki.
It's obvious, but Haki is more reliable and easier to train than Devil Fruit abilities.. But that doesn't mean it's the most powerful force in the One Piece world. Some Devil Fruits that exist in the world of One Piece have power outputs much higher than what Haki alone can produce. A perfect example of this is Loki's Devil Fruit.
Hockey is a force lurking in everyone, everywhere. Everyone has the ability to sense spiritual energy and overwhelm their enemies to some degree. But most people never discover it. Never doubting is true power. Now watch! Most hockey can be divided into two types or colors. — Silvers Rayleigh from Ruskaina to Luffy
One Piece author Eiichiro Oda reveals Luffy's new gear transformation in his latest work
Oda has revealed a draft of the secret Luffy Gear. This new Gear design is much darker than Gear 5 from One Piece.
In One Piece episodes 1170 and 1171, fans got a glimpse of Loki's legendary Devil Fruit powers, which, needless to say, are far superior to what he can do with Haki. Loki's Devil Fruit is unknown as of now, but fans know that it has tremendous power that can be used against monsters like Harald. When Loki fought Harold, the latter was much stronger than Rox or the Pirate King. Loki was able to defeat him with the power of the legendary Devil Fruit..
For comparison, Scoffer Gavan and Shanks have utilized the King of Hockey at the highest level time and time again, but they haven't been able to stop his regeneration.. Meanwhile, Loki's devil fruit power was so strong that Harald could not withstand it and died.
Some Legendary Devil Fruits Are Unrivaled
Certainly, a select few abilities exist. one piece It offers a world beyond what Haki can offer, and these powers are truly special. Loki's Devil Fruit definitely falls into this category, and fans know that Imu's Devil Fruit powers do the same. in fact, Imu's Devil Fruit abilities were so overwhelming that five powerful Haki users couldn't even make a dent in his defenses..
Luffy's Nika Fruit certainly falls into this category, but Luffy hasn't yet trained his strength enough to reach a high level. It will still be a while before Luffy reaches his peak, so he can't be compared to Imu at the moment.
Haki is overall more stable than the Devil Fruit.

Hockey is not the strongest, but it is more reliable.

Devil Fruit Could Destroy the World
Fans need to understand the following in terms of power output: Devil Fruit can definitely surpass Haki. For example, Whitebeard can destroy the world with his Devil Fruit, but a Haki user can't do it as easily as Whitebeard. Likewise, Imu could easily destroy the entire world with her powers if she wanted to, but a Haki user would have a hard time doing so. Loki can kill someone as strong as Harald with his Devil Fruit, but Scopper Gaban and Shanks cannot do so with their Haki alone.. Luffy can do anything with his imagination, but he is limited in some ways by Haki alone.
But there is more to a power system than just force output. In almost every other area Haki is much more trustworthy than his Devil Fruit powers.. Haki users can still swim across the ocean, and more than that, they can still fight and defeat Devil Fruit users. Haki users, especially those wielding the Haki King, can stand against even the immortals of the One Piece universe, with the exception of a few individuals such as Harald. Overall, Haki is the better performer of the two, as it has fewer drawbacks and is much more versatile and reliable. However, it is clear that the Devil Fruit is superior in terms of overall power output.
