This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
One piece is the brilliant story of Monkey D. Luffy's quest to become the Pirate King in an era known as the Great Age of Pirates. One pieceat its core, is an adventure story, and the most exciting parts of the story are the journeys Luffy takes, the places he sees, and of course, the friends he makes. In fact, fans look forward to the moments when Luffy recruits new people into his crew, as this is part of the magic that One piece controls.
Say hello to Haki users The New Conqueror's Haki pirates in one piece
A new character among the straw pirates is getting conqueror haki and will be the main character in One Piece.
Unfortunately, in the New World, i.e. the second half of the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates fans did not see many new recruits. The only person to join the second half of the story in almost 15 years is Jinbe and he officially joined the ranks of the Straw Hats in the Wano Arc.
But now it's time for Luffy to welcome the last Straw Hat and at the moment it looks like it's none other than Loki. with him Loki would bring incredible mastery of Conqueror's Haki to join the Straw Hat Pirates.
Loki is probably the last straw hat in one piece

Luffy wants to have 10 pirates under him in the Straw Hat crew

Loki was asked by Luffy to join the crew
One Piece's Accursed Prince, Loki, is currently getting a lot of attention in the story. Loki is the centerpiece of the Elbaf arc, impressing all the fans clamoring for him to join the crew. However, Loki being the last Straw Hat isn't just based on fan wishes and wishes. actually Loki joining the crew is actually based on the fact that Luffy wants him to be part of the crew. Luffy doesn't go out of his way to invite others to join the crew, but when he does it usually ends up teaming up with the Straw Hats.
I need people for my crew. We'll see…about 10 would be enough. — Luffy at the beginning of his journey
By the time the Elbaf arc flashback started, it was made abundantly clear to fans Luffy wanted Loki to sail the seas with him. Loki declined the offer at the time, but fans know very well that he was unaware of the fact that Luffy was Nika's sun god. Once he finds out, Loki might reconsider his answer and join Luffy's crew. More than that, there's also the fact that Loki is despised by the vast majority of the country. Even though his brother found out the truth about him, the fact is that he still chooses not to forgive him for everything else he has done in his life and there is still tension between them.
In addition, Loki wants revenge on his father, and this will not change in the future. Loki becoming the last Straw Hat is almost a guarantee at this point, and fans should keep that in mind moving forward.
Loki is a master of the conqueror's Haki

Loki learned Conqueror's Haki at a young age

His overall power level is comparable to Luffy
If Loki joins the Straw Hat Pirates at the end of the Elbaf arc, fans will see a great addition to the crew that will also bring the Conqueror's Haki ability with him. As has been abundantly clear over the course of the last few chapters, Loki is a great fighter and not only has the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf, he is also a master of Haki..
I am the Sun God who will destroy this world. — Loki to Luffy
Loki controls Haki of all three types and can even imbue his body with Supreme King Haki, which he can use to face the threat of the Holy Knights and even Ima. Fans were able to see Loki Haki in battle against Ragnir and then against King Harald at Aurust Castle 14 years ago. It's clear that Loki has developed his abilities even further since then and should be one of the most powerful Haki users in all of One Piece right now.
If he joined, the Straw Hat would gain a huge fortune that would be decisive in the final war. The final battle in One Piece would see Luffy rely on the Conqueror's Haki user. This is because Saint Knights and Imu powers like the Five Elders are only weak to Conqueror's Haki. Right now the Straw Hats only have two Conqueror's Haki users, Luffy and Zoro, and neither of them fully understand it.
Then Sanji has yet to awaken this power, but he will probably use it soon. If Loki were to join, then the crew could have four potential Conqueror Haki users, and this is necessary if they are to face the threat of the Holy Knights and other monsters under Imu.
Only Loki could kill a holy knight
What makes Loki even more special as a user of Conqueror's Haki is the fact that he is the only one in history who has managed to kill a Holy Knight.. When Loki fought King Harald, he was described as an unbeatable monster who was essentially a walking weapon capable of destroying the entire world. Still, Loki was able to not only stop him, but actually kill him. Technically, this death was achieved through a combination of the power of the Devil Fruit he was eating and his Haki.
Say hello to the new legendary devil fruit user The Slam Hat Pirates in One Piece
The Straw Hat Pirates are strong and the new member has the legendary Devil Fruit in One Piece.
But the fact is that Loki is the only one who could kill the Holy Knight. In fact, when Loki killed the Holy Knight, Imu could be seen bearing the brunt of the pain. As such, Loki will be a vital ally in the upcoming battles in One Piece and would certainly be a phenomenal addition to the crew.
Makes Loki's Haki even stronger
That should also be remembered Conqueror's Haki is an ability that cannot be trained directly. As Rayleigh stated long ago, the Conqueror's Haki grows with the user. While enhancing this Haki is possible and learning its applications is certainly something that individuals can work on, increasing the overall power of Haki is impossible unless the user powers up.
As is the case with most Shonen stories, the straw pirates will continue to grow stronger in the coming arcs. In this sense, as Loki gets stronger with the Straw Hats, so does his Conqueror's Haki. This will be really exciting for fans to see as it would take his Haki mastery to a whole new level.
The straw men could also learn from each other. If Loki joined, Luffy would be able to work on his Haki betterjust like Zoro and Sanji. Together, these four will be the main fighting force of the Straw Hats if Loki accepts Luffy's offer at the end of the arc. Regardless, even if Loki doesn't join, fans know for sure that the next Straw Hat is coming very soon and that they would be powerful in their own way.
