Summary

  • Only a select few individuals can bring out Haki through life-changing experiences.
  • Some Haki users in One Piece have strong abilities, while others are disgraceful.
  • Even powerful characters like Eustass Kid can have underwhelming Haki abilities.

Haki is an incredible ability that exists within everyone in the world of One Piece. However, only a select few individuals are able to bring it out through life-changing experiences. Haki can broadly be divided into two types, and that is Observation and Armament Haki. A third type of Haki is present only within a select few people as they are born with it.

Fans have seen Haki being used extensively in the post timeskip of One Piece, given that this part of the story is set in the New World. The story has focused extensively on the strongest Haki users, there are also plenty of Haki users that certainly do not live up to the standard and can be classified as bad users of this ability.

9 Red King

A Vice Admiral of the Navy

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: None

Red King is a Vice Admiral who was recently introduced in One Piece. This Marine was shown to be quite powerful, given that he holds the rank of a Vice Admiral, and just by his rank itself, fans know that he should be a user of both Observation and Armament Haki.

Unfortunately, Red King was not a good user of Haki, as was proven during his short clash against Franky in the Egghead Arc. Essentially, Franky crushed him in battle using a Strong Right, which is disgraceful for a Vice Admiral of the Navy and shows that his Haki is not strong enough to defend himself.

8 Boo

A Member Of The Happo Navy

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: None

Boo is a member of the Happo Navy, and he hails from the Kano Kingdom. He is a user of Hasshoken, and at the same time, Haki as well.

Boo’s Haki is not strong enough. This was clear for the fans to see in the Dressrosa Arc. Whereas Sai was a master of Armament Haki, Boo could not even prevent mediocre fighters from doing damage to him. Hopefully, he has grown stronger since.

7 Apoo

A Worst Generation Pirate

Apoo
  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: Oto Oto no Mi

Apoo is quite a skilled user of his Oto Oto no Mi. Fans know him to be incredibly resilient, but, in terms of Haki, he is nothing special. Apoo is a user of Armament and Observation Haki. Credit to him, his usage of Armament Haki is not extremely bad. At the very least, he was able to tank one of Zoro's sneak attacks in Onigashima, called Death Lion’s Song.

He was able to get up from it immediately, which suggests that he utilized Haki to reduce the impact. Still, his Haki is not impressive enough for him to compete with the remaining members of the Worst Generation.

6 Pica

A Top Officer Of The Donquixote Pirates

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: Ishi Ishi no Mi

One of the Officers of the Donquixote Pirates, Pica is an atrocious user of Haki. This was clear for the fans to see in the Dressrosa Arc, especially when he fought against Zoro.

During this fight, was completely overwhelmed despite using Haki to coat his entire body. What's more, Zoro wasn't even a great user of Haki at the time, yet, Pica was not able to withstand him in any way, implying that he was an underwhelming user of Haki.

5 Diamante

A Top Donquixote Pirates Officer

Diamante One Piece
  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: Hira Hira no Mi

Another top Officer of the Donquixote Pirates, Diamante is known to be a user of Haki as well, which might be strange to many fans, given that he didn't utilize this power extensively in the Dressrosa Arc. It is possible that Diamante chose to utilize invisible Haki.

Devil Fruit can grant people powerful abilities. However, many One Piece fighters do just fine without one.

Regardless, his strength with this technique was not good enough, especially because Kyros was able to defeat him without using any Haki. For any swordsman to lose like that is disgraceful and it just goes to show that his mastery of Haki was not good enough.

4 Jesus Burgess

Blackbeard's First Ship Captain

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: Riki Riki no Mi

Jesus Burgess is a powerful pirate in the New World, especially because fans know him to be the First Ship Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Burgess is a good Devil Fruit user, and fans saw this in the Final Saga of One Piece. During Dressrosa, he showcased his Haki, but the fact that Sabo made quick work of him shows that his Haki usage is quite pathetic.

3 Bellamy

A Former Pirate

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: Bane Bane no Mi

Bellamy was a former subordinate of Doflamingo, despite not being a part of his pirate crew. He was known to be a strong pirate, and even in the New World, he made quite a name for himself.

In the Dressrosa arc, he took part in the competition in Corrida Colosseum, where he was defeated without much effort. Bellamy showcased his Haki there, but the fact that he was unable to make an impression just goes to show how average his Haki was.

2 Tashigi

A Navy Captain

Tashigi from One Piece
  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament
  • Devil Fruit: None

Tashigi is one of the weakest users of Haki that fans have seen in One Piece, and that is a shame, given her ambition is grand and very interesting at the same time.

She was shown utilizing Haki in the Punk Hazard Arc of One Piece, where she took on Law in combat. Hopefully, she has grown in terms of Haki since then.

1 Eustass Kid

A 3 Billion Berries Pirate

  • Haki Types: Observation, Armament, Supreme King
  • Devil Fruit: Jiki Jiki no Mi

One of the worst users of Haki that fans have seen in One Piece is none other than the Captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid. Despite possessing all three types of Haki, Kid has failed to make an impression with any of the types.

Kid was recently seen fighting against Shanks, and was obliterated in a single second, once again, going to highlight that his Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and of course, even Conqueror's Haki are awful.
