One Piece Chapter 1122
Chapter 1122 of the One Piece manga revealed the Conqueror's Haki of the first pirate in history – Joy Boy. Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki is so powerful that some fans wonder if it can surpass Shanks' Conqueror's Haki?
Chapter 1122 revealed that Joy Boy had sealed his Haki into the Iron Giant Emeth hundreds of years ago. When Emeth released Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki, it affected the entire Egghead Island and several people fainted. What was most impressive was that this Haki was sensed by Imu, who was far away from Egghead Island.
It even succeeded in dispelling the Five Elders' transformations and summoning spells, causing the elders (except Saturn) to be sent back to the holy land of Mary Geoise.

Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki was certainly an impressive display, giving a glimpse of his power, leading to fans comparing him to Shanks – who currently possesses the strongest Conqueror's Haki.
What One Piece fans say
Some fans believe that, despite the difficulties, the Vice Admirals were still able to resist Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki, while Shanks was able to defeat a Vice Admiral in One Piece Film: Red using only his Conqueror's Haki.
In addition, in chapter 1055, Admiral Ryokugyuu felt something paralyzing him and screamed in pain. It was Shanks's Conqueror's Haki from afar. At that time, some members of the Red Hair Pirates even asked the captain to stop or all the rookies would faint. Even Luffy and Jinbe felt that Conqueror's Haki was very impressive. It was thanks to Shanks' intervention that Admiral Green Bull agreed to leave Wano without achieving his goal.
These examples show that Red Hair may be slightly stronger than Joy Boy with this ability.
In addition, the Straw Hats, who were able to resist the powerful Haki emitted by Emeth, have shown that the current generation is much stronger. But to reach the level of using and sealing the Conqueror's Haki like Joy Boy, Luffy definitely still needs to put in more effort, to be able to fight against the World Government.
