This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf arc.

One Piece is currently in the Final Saga, and fans know very well that the Straw Hat Pirates are now one step closer to accomplishing their dreams. With Luffy being closer than ever to becoming the Pirate King and all the other Straw Hats equally as close to their goals, this last stretch of the story is going to be incredibly exciting. That said, this stretch of One Piece won't come without its own hardships for the Straw Hat Pirates. In the Final Saga, the level of the enemies that the Straw Hat Pirates will face is going to be higher than ever before, and so the Straw Hat Pirates will need to be stronger than ever before.

While almost half of the crew uses Haki, that certainly isn't enough. The Straw Hat Pirates need more Haki users, and without it, they can't survive long in the New World. The next Straw Hat to gain Haki in the Straw Hat Pirates must be none other than Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the crew, who also holds a bounty of 930 million berries. Despite her tremendous bounty, Robin hasn't yet reached the level of power that reflects her reward, and that needs to change soon.

At the moment, the Straw Hat that needs Haki the most in One Piece is none other than Nico Robin. This is largely down to her bounty, and because of her utility as someone who can fight at a high level. Nico Robin has a bounty of 930 million berries.

To put that into perspective, her bounty is somewhat similar to that of Smoothie, whose reward is currently at 932 million berries. Her bounty is higher than the likes of Cracker or even someone like Snack, or even Perospero. All these powerful figures are adept users of Haki, yet Robin doesn't have it yet. Robin certainly has a Commander-level bounty, but her strength isn't anywhere close.

More than that, Robin is someone who actually can fight high-level enemies. Nico Robin has fought a Tobi Roppo already and won, and the next step for her, obviously, is to fight against the likes of the Commanders. For Robin, getting Haki right now is extremely important, and if she is to compete at that level. Oda absolutely needs to give her this ability, and with her Hana Hana no Mi power, Robin would be unstoppable with Haki.

Robin Can't Beat Strong Enemies

If Robin does get access to Armament and Observation Haki, then, with her Devil Fruit powers, combined with her Fishman Karate skills, she will truly be powerful and would then be able to fight and potentially even beat the likes of Yonko Commanders. For Robin, that's likely as high as she can go, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see her reach that high level of power. No matter what, Robin has to be the next Haki user in the Straw Hat Pirates.
