History

Awakening and early control

Roya awakened Conqueror’s Haki after nearly three years of Marine training. Its awakening caused enough attention at Marine Headquarters to promote him directly from ensign to major, while also binding the Automatic Cultivation System to him. 1

The system initially cultivated the ability at the beginner level. Within a little over three months, it reached the intermediate level, allowing Roya to direct it freely; he first demonstrated this control by instantly knocking Koby and several nearby Marines unconscious. 1 3

Garp regarded this growth as extraordinary because Conqueror’s Haki is innate and cannot be acquired through ordinary training. Impressed by Roya’s control, Garp became his Haki instructor. 3 4

Materialization and large-scale use

Roya’s Haki developed beyond intimidation into a tangible force. During the exchange with Blackbeard, he directed its pressure at the Blackbeard Pirates, forcing Teach to reassess him as a serious threat. 9

When Teach attacked with the Dark-Dark Fruit’s Liberation, Roya’s materialized Conqueror’s Haki shattered the launched debris and briefly held back the surrounding darkness. Teach identified the display as comparable to the level of a Four Emperor’s Haki. 11

At Impel Down, Roya used advanced materialized Haki to physically harm and suppress prisoners in Infinite Hell. The display prompted the system to increase its cultivation speed tenfold after Conqueror’s Haki reacted competitively to Observation and Armament Haki’s progress. 15

Infusion breakthrough

After capturing Donquixote Doflamingo and Jack, Roya dismissed Doflamingo’s threats about Kaido without fear. The system judged this attitude worthy of a “true conqueror,” granting Conqueror’s Haki Infusion. 22

Roya subsequently infused his sword with Conqueror’s Haki against Kaido. Their Haki clashes matched evenly, devastated Marineford, and were powerful enough to split the sky. 29 30

Manifestation

Conqueror’s Haki usually appears as invisible, overwhelming pressure, but Roya’s advanced form can manifest as a physical force. During major confrontations, it is described as carrying a blood-red aura filled with slaughter. 3 29 39

• Can knock out weak or unprepared targets over a wide area. 3 39
• Can be focused on selected opponents instead of indiscriminately affecting everyone nearby. 9
• At materialized strength, can damage bodies, crack nearby structures, and destroy incoming physical attacks. 11 15 18
• Its clash with Kaido’s Haki shook Marineford and appeared to split the sky. 29 30

Disposition

The Automatic Cultivation System states that cultivated abilities possess basic emotions and respond to external stimulation. Conqueror’s Haki was initially difficult for Roya to provoke, which he speculated was due to its higher level. 1

It later displays a proud, competitive disposition through system messages: it refuses to be surpassed by Roya’s other Haki types, considers itself the “true supreme ruler,” and responds strongly to Roya’s fearless conduct. 15 22

Abilities & Skills

Spiritual Suppression

Conqueror’s Haki projects overwhelming willpower that incapacitates targets unable to endure it.

• Defeated Koby and several Marine spectators instantly during a sparring match. 3
• Forced Blackbeard’s crew into caution during the Ace exchange, though the stronger members remained conscious. 9
• Overwhelmed the Straw Hats, Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates, and other Supernovas in a single encounter. 39
• Can suppress powerful opponents without necessarily knocking them unconscious, as shown against Gecko Moria and Blackbeard after Kaido’s capture. 33

Materialized Conqueror’s Haki

At advanced control, the Haki becomes physically destructive rather than purely spiritual.

• Shattered Blackbeard’s Liberation debris barrage and temporarily resisted the Dark-Dark Fruit’s darkness. 11
• Physically injured and incapacitated numerous Infinite Hell prisoners. 15
• Cracked buildings and ships while incapacitating the Donquixote Family’s top officers. 18
• Repelled Zoro, Sanji, and Killer without Roya needing to move. 39

Conqueror’s Haki Infusion

Roya can project and coat his attacks with Conqueror’s Haki, a technique possessed by only a small fraction of Conqueror’s Haki users. 22

• Infuses his sword to meet Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki-coated kanabo directly. 29
• Sustains repeated weapon clashes with Kaido, with neither fighter gaining an immediate advantage. 30
• May be layered with Armament Haki for greater striking power. 30

Armament Conqueror’s Haki Infusion

A rare fusion of projected Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki. 49

• Allows Roya to strike the physical bodies of Logia Devil Fruit users without relying on conventional Armament Haki. 49
• Is described by the system as a technique mastered by only a handful of people in the world. 49

Relationships

• Roya — wielder; his ambition, fighting spirit, and fearlessness drive the Haki’s growth and breakthroughs. 1 22
• Automatic Cultivation System — maintains its cultivation project and translates its emotional reactions into training-speed increases or new applications. 1 15 22
• Observation Haki and Armament Haki — rival abilities whose accelerated growth provokes Conqueror’s Haki to cultivate faster. 15
• Soru — its breakthrough to max level occurs after Conqueror’s Haki gains Infusion, as Soru refuses to “hold [it] back.” 22
• Kaido’s Conqueror’s Haki — matched Roya’s Haki in a direct clash, establishing Roya’s ability as comparable to an Emperor’s. 29 30

Notable Uses

• Koby’s challenge — Knocks out Koby and multiple Marines with a controlled release, convincing Garp to personally train Roya. 3
• Ace exchange — Establishes dominance over Blackbeard and his crew before the prisoner handover. 9
• Battle with Blackbeard — Materializes to neutralize Liberation and suppresses the Blackbeard Pirates after Teach’s defeat. 11 12
• Infinite Hell suppression — Injures and subdues prisoners in Impel Down’s sixth level. 15
• Dressrosa arrests — Defeats the Donquixote Family’s officers and prevents them from rescuing Doflamingo. 18 19
• Battle with Kaido — Matches Kaido’s Haki, coats Roya’s sword, and participates in clashes that devastate Marineford. 29 30
• Sabaody confrontation — Instantly defeats multiple Supernovas while deliberately refraining from killing or arresting them. 39
• Battle with Kizaru — Releases tangible Haki toward Kizaru after activating all three Haki types simultaneously. 43
