Highlights

The end of Garp the Fist is highlighted in the recently released One Piece chapter 1088, as the new generation of Marines, led by Koby, successfully utilizes their mentor's teachings to save the day.Conqueror's Haki, the rarest form of Haki in the world of One Piece, empowers its user to exert their willpower on others and render weaker opponents unconscious.

Koby's attack may not have shown the signs of Conqueror's Haki, but his remarkable utilization of Armament Haki exemplifies his future potential as a formidable Navy Admiral.

In the recent release of One Piece chapter 1088, a gripping chapter unfolded with the conclusion of the esteemed hero, Garp the Fist. On the Pirate Island, the fierce battle continued to unfold at an intense level, but amidst it all, the new generation of Marines stepped up and ultimately rescued the situation, thanks to their mentor, Garp.

Among them, Koby stood out, as he was the most highly regarded protégé of Garp. Fans witnessed his remarkable ability to unleash an immensely powerful punch that could cleave apart an arm the size of a mountain—a technique known as Honesty Impact. While it is certain that Koby utilized Haki to enhance this devastating attack, the lingering question in many fans' minds is whether the utilization of Conqueror's Haki Infusion was involved.

Does Koby Have Conqueror's Haki?

Determining whether Koby possesses Conqueror's Haki is not a complex task. Currently, Koby does not possess Conqueror's Haki as his use of Haki did not result in the creation of substantial lightning streaks. The small sparks observed are typically associated with the infusion of Armament Haki into weapons or fists, which has been witnessed in various instances where Conqueror's Haki was not employed. For example, Katakuri demonstrated similar sparks during his battle with Luffy, which were clearly a result of Armament Haki. Even Luffy displayed these sparks during his fight against Katakuri, confirming their association with Armament Haki. The presence of immense black lightning emanating from the body part infused with Conqueror's Haki is the definitive indication of its presence. Furthermore, Koby's attack failed to generate any black lightning in its vicinity, further reinforcing the absence of Conqueror's Haki in this particular attack.

Koby's attack is solely reliant on Armament Haki, which greatly amplifies the impressiveness of this accomplishment. It serves as undeniable proof that Koby's rigorous training has elevated his power level to such an extent that he can effortlessly shatter a colossal mountain-sized fist using his advanced Armament Haki. Additionally, this demonstration instills a sense of anticipation in fans, as they now realize that Koby's true potential and formidable strength will be fully unleashed in the future, once he attains mastery over all his abilities.

Koby's Future Potential

In the future, Koby is destined to rise to the rank of Admiral in the Navy. Achieving this position is his ultimate aspiration, and there is no doubt that he will attain it. However, in order to reach his goal, Koby must undergo rigorous training and cultivate his Observation and Armament Haki, both of which have already proven to be exceptionally powerful. By fully realizing his potential in these areas, he will become an unstoppable force. Furthermore, there is a strong possibility that Koby may unlock Conqueror's Haki in the future. Considering that he is Garp's student, and Garp possesses this extraordinary ability, it is entirely plausible that Oda will grant Koby the same power.

It is possible that Koby may eventually consume a Devil Fruit, as all Admirals introduced in the story so far have possessed Devil Fruit abilities. However, it is uncertain which Devil Fruit Oda will grant him if he decides to do so. Despite Koby's impressive progress, there is still ample room for further growth, and he remains incapable of holding his ground against formidable pirates. It should be noted that even though Koby shattered Pizzaro's arm, he was largely defenseless and unable to defeat him. If not for Helmeppo's intervention, Koby would have been thrown into the ocean. This incident underscores that Koby is still far from posing a real threat to powerful figures like the Yonko, including Luffy. Furthermore, Koby does not possess Conqueror's Haki and is far from being one of the strongest fighters in the series.
