In the vibrant and action-packed universe of “One Piece,” the question of strength is at the heart of the story, and epic battles never fail to captivate fans. In this world, there are two types of power that stand out. One is the ability granted by the devil fruit, the other is the power of various types of Haki.
Users only need to eat 1 devil fruit to be able to use the power given by the devil fruit, but each person can only eat 1 fruit. As for Haki, everyone can access this power, but only a few people can master it.
So the power of devil fruit and Haki, which is stronger?
Kaido – one of the strongest characters in One Piece has a very clear view on the hierarchy of these abilities. The former Yonko firmly believes that Haki is superior to the abilities bestowed by the devil fruit. His opinion is not just a matter of personal opinion, but it is also judged based on his extensive experience and knowledge, gained through countless battles and encounters with powerful users. both possibilities.
The Grand Line – the central setting in One Piece – is filled with devil fruit users, each of whom exhibits extraordinary abilities that surpass the limits of normal humans. Notable examples include characters such as Whitebeard, who has the ability to cause devastating earthquakes, Big Mom with the power to manipulate souls, Luffy whose devil fruit power allows him to transform anything he touch the rubber wall. Or Kaido transforms into a huge and powerful dragon.
However, despite these impressive examples, Kaido still believes that Haki is superior to devil fruit powers. This claim is backed up by legendary figures such as Gol D. Roger and Kozuki Oden, who do not possess devil fruit powers, but are still feared and respected for their mastery of Haki.
The ability to use Haki is something each person is born with, similar to the concept of Nen in “Hunter X Hunter”, but very few people can completely master it. Haki is divided into many forms and variations, each with its own characteristics and challenges.
Characters like Shanks, Monkey D. Garp, and Dracule Mihawk are testaments to the potential of Haki, having reached the peak of their abilities without relying on their Devil Fruit powers. Their deeds and reputation are testament to the pure, primal power of Haki. The new generation, represented by characters like Zoro and Coby also shows a potential change in power in the One Piece world.
Although Luffy, with his Devil Fruit awakening, defeated Kaido, Kaido’s claim of the ultimate power of Haki reflects a deeper truth. It’s not just physical strength that defines a great warrior in One Piece, but a combination of physical skills, willpower, and a deep understanding of one’s own spirit.
In this sense, Haki represents not only strength but also a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement that is accessible to all, but mastered only by those with a dedicated spirit. the most focused and powerful.
