After 16 years, One Piece introduced the official counter to hockey

Power of Hockey was introduced in 2015 a piece First appeared in chapter 234, but it wasn't until chapter 597 that this ability was properly explained by Silver Rayley. Haki is a power based on a person's spiritual energy, and it provides sensory perception, offensive and defensive abilities, and the power of intimidation, which has reigned as the most reliable power. a piece The world for more than a decade. With the latest appearance of King Nerona Emu in Elbaf, Ichiro Oda has officially introduced the perfect counter to Haki in the form of Omen, which Emu considers his military power.

Omen of Nerona Emu is the opposite of Haki in one piece

Power of Oman was first introduced in 2012 a piece Chapter 1180 by Nerona Emu. This power presents itself as a special black flame that Emu uses in many ways. Omen is very similar to Haki, as this power is derived from the energy contained within everyone in the world of a piece, but there are key differences between the two.

Like Haki, it can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. The emu's omen, also known as maki, can be used for everything. Omen's first use came against Roronoa Zoro in Chapter 1180, when Emu released a powerful flame-like attack at him, knocking him out completely in the process. This power then started in Hazrudin and then Sanji. Emu then showed incredible versatility in his battle against Loki by shaping Omen into the morning star, a sword and even a shield. Emu also used Omen to make himself giant in chapter 1181, showing the immense versatility of this power.

To truly understand the similarities between Omen and Haki, we need to look at the original Japanese terminology used for the former. In Japanese, Omen is called Maki, and the name alone makes it similar to Haki. Maki itself is made up of two words: 'ma' and 'ki', just like Haki, which is pronounced 'ha' and 'ki'. The 'ki' part in both these words only refers to energy. Haki is spiritual energy, Maki is demonic energy. This puts them on opposite ends of the energy system in a world of one piece.

In chapter 1181 of the manga, Ichiro Oda officially states that Maki's power actually exists in everyone. Once again, this makes it very similar to hockey, but in the opposite end. Imu confirms that Omen is her military power, and is a power born of jealousy that one uses to reach one's goals. Essentially, those who are corrupted by Emu using Covenants or some other means can use the Omen's power in many ways, but Emu, being a Devil, is the one who dominates Maki, thanks to the power of his Akuma no Mi.

All known Omen users in one piece so far

The power of Omen or Maki is absolutely immense and is primarily controlled by Nerona Emu, as is clearly seen in a fragment in chapters 1180 and 1181. However, Nerona Emu is not the only Omen user. The emu's omen can also spread to other people. For example, Nerona Emu gave an omen to Somers and Killingham in chapter 1180. With this Omen's power, they are greatly upgraded in terms of strength, as evident in Somers gaining the ability to fly in one chapter.

Likewise, when Emu bestows the power of the Abyssal Covenant on his five elders, they are also given the power of the Omen, evident by the cloud of black flames around their necks. Holy Knights also have the power of Omen to a certain degree, which Emu can boost by giving them more Omen.

Maki simply being demonic energy means that everyone affected by Emu's power is its user. This means that anyone with Domi Reversid in one piece is greatly enhanced by the Omen in all aspects of power. As the story continues, Eiichiro Oda will expand on the concept of Omen and establish a proper counter balance between these two power systems.
