There are three basic forms of haki, and each includes several subtypes. The three types of Haki in One Piece are as under:
- Observation Haki Armament Haki Conqueror’s Haki
These three main types of Haki were teased in an indirect way in the anime before we got to see them (although it wasn’t mentioned in the manga). In One Piece episode 85, in a flashback between Dr. Hiriluk and Chopper, Hiriluk described pirates having large and well-trained bodies (Armament Haki), eyes like an eagle (Observation Haki), and their voices like thunder splitting the sky (Conqueror’s Haki).
Observation Haki provides the user with a variety of options for sensing and comprehending what’s going on around them. The user can sense the presence of individuals around him, as well as their spirits. They can also predict and avoid the enemy’s moves.
Armament Haki enables the user to develop armor-like protection in their body and may be utilized on weapons to boost the power of their attacks. Thus, armament haki can be applied to sections of the user’s body or the complete body, as well as to their weapons.
The advanced armament haki powers include Devil Fruit Armament, Armament Flow, and Internal Destruction (Ryuo).
Conqueror’s Haki gives the user the ability to use their willpower to overpower others’ willpower, effectively freezing opponents. Users with weaker willpower will pass out and faint.
