Say hello to Straw Hat Pirates' new winner hockey user in one piece
A new character among the Straw Hat pirates is getting a winner's hat, and it will be the main one in one piece.
As always, Haki and the Devil Fruit are at the center of One Piece's power system, and that certainly won't change in this arc either. Oda continues to reveal many powerful Devil Fruit users in the final saga and with that, powerful users of Haki as well. In fact, in Elbaf Arc itself, Oda has now revealed to fans an absolute master of Haki usage who is surely going to be crucial in the upcoming battle against Emu and the demon army.. This master of hockey is not LokiCursed Prince of Elbaf.
Haki users are important in the final saga of One Piece

Haki does not yield Devil Fruit abilities

The conqueror's rule is the weakness of those with immortality
a piece Fans know this well Haki users are going to be important in the upcoming battle against Emu in the final saga of a piece. A preview of the epic battle will be given to fans in the Elbaf arc, as stated by Emu himself. To fight such high-level battles, hockey is extremely important, and fans are well aware that, for the Straw Hat Pirates, mastering this power is the next step.
Using Haki is always a huge advantage for anyone in battle, the fact is that the Straw Hat Pirates are up against the Holy Knights and Emu's forces at the moment. These forces are incredibly powerful and cannot be countered by regular means, as said by the likes of Gaban. Emu's powers can only be countered by the use of Supreme King Haki, or Conqueror's Haki. As such, the Holy Knights standing in the way of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the demon army currently wreaking havoc through Elbaf, can only be stopped by using this special Haki type. This is why the use of hockey is more important than ever, and mastery of it is even more important.
It is an overwhelming power, also known as the color of Supreme King Haki. Most people who make a name for themselves in the world have this power. Although you can control the Supreme King's color, you cannot directly train it to become stronger. It is the embodiment of the user's soul. It is only strong if the user himself is strong. — Silvers Ray explaining Conqueror's Haki to Luffy
Hockey users of the Straw Hat Pirates
now, The Straw Hat Pirates have two users of Conqueror's Haki, Luffy and Zoro.. In the case of these two, the use of hockey is not appropriate. Luffy, despite having Conqueror's Haki, was unable to properly use it against the Five Elders and was unable to cancel their regeneration or slow it down even once on Egghead. Meanwhile, Zoro didn't even know he had Conqueror's Haki until recently, and as Gaban said, someone who doesn't know their Haki fails to use it properly. As such, Zoro has so far failed as a Haki user, and he needs to level up a lot.
then, There's the case of Sanji, who hasn't awakened it yet and will likely go on to do so in the upcoming chapters of One Piece.. Obviously, the Straw Hat Pirates need to level up a lot, as hockey users are more important than ever in a piece. However, they will help in the form of Loki, who is now confirmed to be the owner of the Conqueror's Haki.
Loki's Conqueror's Haki was recently revealed in an Elbaf flashback, and with his power he has done things that no other character in One Piece can, and that is killing the Holy Knight.
Loki is already a master of hockey in one piece
-
Loki's Haki can stop Ragnir
-
His conqueror's hockey can stop Harald
Loki being the master of hockey shouldn't come as a surprise to any fan. Fans know that he carries the blood of ancient giants in him, and at the same time, has great potential. He is also the only one that Ragnir truly accepts, and it shows that he is special even among those with the blood of ancient demons.
The One Piece anime makes a big change to the manga
The One Piece anime recently underwent a major transformation. This change is huge and goes strictly against the manga.
Loki uses the power of Elbaf's legendary Devil FruitBut more than that, he also has access to powerful winning hockey. It was with Haki that Loki earned Ragnir's respect and gained access to Elbaf's Devil's Fall in the first place. Fans already know that Loki is a great user of Observation Haki. His weaponry remains to be seen, but one can be assured that he has it. Most importantly, Loki has access to Supreme King Haki.
When used in conjunction with his Devil Fruit power, Loki can even kill immortals in a fragmented world with his Haki, which is unique to him. Even the likes of Roger Pirates were unable to kill the immortals of the One Piece world, yet Loki was able to do the impossible and deliver the killing blow to King Harald after he was captured by the Covenant forces of Emu. Quite frankly, Loki's hockey skills are on a whole different level, and fans will definitely get to see that later down the line.
Loki's Haki prowess will be showcased in the Emu Battle
As things stand now, Loki has already been freed by Luffy and his friends, which means he's going to fight Emu and his demon army soon enough.. Loki gave fans a glimpse of his power when he unleashed an attack on the Draugar known as Niflheim in Elbaf's underworld. In the next chapter, however, Loki goes to the sun world with everyone else and then faces the emu in battle. Fans will also soon get a proper look at Loki's Devil Fruit abilities, and it goes without saying that this arc is only going to get more exciting from here.
more than that, Loki will show his incredible hockey prowess in the battle against the demon armyAnd it's certainly going to be a sight to behold. At the same time, fans should also keep in mind that Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Gabon will also go on to perform great feats of Haki alongside Loki. This means another special phase of the Elbaf arc where the hockey masters will shine. Truly, there is no better time to be a fan a piece than now.
