Haki is a mysterious power that allows individuals to harness their own spiritual energy for various superhuman feats. As this energy manifests from willpower, it is theoretically open to all of the world‘s living creatures; the vast majority, however, are either ignorant or unable to achieve mastery. Haki users are common in the New World, rare in Paradise, and virtually non-existent in the Four Blues.

Current understandings of Haki define three distinct types, each tied to a different ability: sensing others’ spiritual energy to anticipate their movements, producing a protective coating of energy from one’s own body, and—for a certain group of “chosen ones”—overwhelming the willpower of others.^[2][3]

Haki and its users have underpinned many significant events throughout the series—notably, Shanks used it to drive off the Lord of the Coast and save a young Monkey D. Luffy‘s life.^[1] The term “Haki” was first coined and used much later when Blackbeard was commenting on Luffy’s bounty in Jaya,^[4] and was hinted at during Shanks’ visit with Whitebeard.^[5] The underlying concepts of Haki were introduced during the Sabaody Archipelago and Amazon Lily Arcs.^[6][7] The concept was clearly explained later on by Rayleigh to Luffy at the start of the latter’s training on Rusukaina Island.^[3]
