Kenbunshoku Haki is one of the three types of Haki that appear in One Piece. This ability allows the user to feel someone's presence and predict the opponent's movements in battle.
Furthermore, Kenbunshoku users are able to glimpse into the future. They become difficult to attack and deal with in battle.
In the following, we would like to share our opinions about the 10 most powerful Kenbunshoku Haki users based on some of the information that has been shown in the manga story. Who are they? Check the discussion below!
10. God Usopp
Usopp first awakened his Kenbunshoku Haki ability when he fought in Dressrosa. At that time, he wanted to save Luffy and Law from Sugar's attack. Unbeknownst to him, he could clearly see their auras.
Thanks to this sight, Usopp's shots are accurate and can hit the target precisely. If Usopp continues to hone his Kenbunshoku Haki, his skills as a sniper will become much more powerful in hunting down his targets.
9. Vinsmoke Sanji
After training for two years in Kamabakka with Ivankov, Sanji's fighting skills have improved tremendously. Not only kicks, he is also capable of using Haki in battle.
In SBS Vol. 71, Oda also emphasized that Sanji has an advantage in using Kenbunshoku Haki. With this ability, Sanji can easily avoid Katakuri's shots when he is at the wedding altar with Pudding.
8. Rayleigh
When talking about Haki, Rayleigh is one of the most capable characters. He mastered all three types of Haki. In addition, he can take down enemy troops easily when he is in Sabaody.
When using Kenbunshoku Haki, Rayleigh can easily avoid being attacked by a giant elephant on Rusukaina Island. In addition, he could estimate the number of animals on the island easily.
7. Fujitora
Fujitora's skill in using Kenbunshoku Haki is evident. He could see the auras of the people around him. Thanks to this ability, he can still react to his surroundings even though he is blind.
Not only that, Fujitora can apply Haki abilities in battle. He was able to dodge enemy attacks without difficulty. In addition, he is able to issue destructive attacks with the gravity power of the Zushi Zushi no Mi.
6. God Enel
In Skypiea, Kenbunshoku Haki is better known as Mantra. One of the most powerful Spell users is God Enel. He can combine that ability with the power of his devil fruit, the Goro Goro no Mi.
Enel is able to predict his opponent's movements with ease. On top of that, he was able to hear the words of people all over Skypiea. That way, he could hand out punishments easily to anyone who went against him.
5. Kaido
At first, Kaido seemed to excel in using Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki. However, he later confessed that he was also able to glimpse the future with Kenbunshoku Haki.
In chapter 1042, Kaido showed that ability when he faced Luffy in his Snakeman form. With this ability, he can dodge Luffy's attacks very quickly.
4. Monkey D. Luffy
The next greatest Kenbunshoku Haki user is Monkey D. Luffy. After going through a life and death battle against Katakuri, Luffy was able to see the future at a glance until he matched Katakuri's level.
Luffy also uses this ability several times during the battle at Wano. However, he is more focused on increasing the power of Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki in order to defeat Kaido.
3.Charlotte Katakuri
When compared to Luffy, Katakuri's Kenbunshoku Haki ability is of course more powerful. He had honed it long ago until he was able to use it very skillfully in battle.
When using future vision, Katakuri requires high concentration. This ability will not be effective if the focus is disturbed by the opponent. Thanks to that ability, he is a very difficult opponent to beat.
2. Yasopp
Yasopp is a sniper in the Straw Hat Pirates. In One Piece Vol. 4000000000, interesting information was revealed that he has Kenbunshoku Haki which is far more powerful than Katakuri.
If Katakuri can only glimpse the future, Yasopp can see it over a much longer period of time. This ability has not been shown in the manga story, but we can see Yasopp's abilities briefly in the film One Piece: RED.
1. Shanks
So far, Shanks can be assumed to be the most powerful Haki user in the story. We can see footage of Shanks' strength in various moments, like when he faced Whitebeard or when he intimidated Admiral Ryokugyu with Haoshoku.
In Vol. 4000000000, Shanks is explained to be able to negate the opponent's Kenbunshoku Haki ability so that they cannot see the future. This information can be a benchmark for how strong Haki possessed by Shanks.
Even though it's still just an assumption and theory, most likely Shanks is able to see far into the future. We can see that when he asked Whitebeard to stop Ace from hunting Blackbeard. He seemed to know that there would be a big incident happening at that time.
