Shanks Showed The Key To The Final Level Of Conqueror's Haki 

Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki bloomed when he was starving, haggard and tied up, about to be murdered by a bunch of peasants. Conqueror's Haki is about protecting what's most important to you. For Doflamingo, that wasn't his dad/brother, but his status as a Celestial Dragon. Personally, it's one of my favorite scenes in One Piece.

Even in THIS scenario, the existence of future sight allowed Oda to give Kid a feat while still allowing him to get absolutely wiped

Morj , there is a scene of Luffy in the Manga you didn't mention that backs up what you said . In chapter 949 , there was that guy Babanuki who was trying to launch a deadly plague and kill everyone including the samurai , Luffy saw the future and stopped him while saying this and i quote: " I saw a pretty bad future just now...." , this one goes in line with your analysis and it might be a foreshadowing from Oda about a horrible future that Luffy will see in a fight against someone like Blackbeard for example.

Haki is one of those power systems that I have gripes with how it’s mechanics have been doled out but thematically I enjoy it a lot. Willpower. It’s a concept that suits Luffy because it takes willpower to get to where Luffy is at. That’s why a part of me wants Blackbeard not to have conqueror’s Haki and have it be a match where Luffy Haki abilities are clutch. It would symbolize the hard, right way Luffy took as opposed to taking shortcuts and cheating which Blackbeard did. But that’s just me.

9:00 he also showed it against the wolves in impel down to protect bon chan, which also goes in line with morj’s point!

I just want a scene where luffy showcases his dominance and strength over The marines or other powerful pirates just like how the previous yonko did

i don't see Oda killing any strawhat so this is quite possibly the closest we will be to seeing it. i think it's quite possible.

We don't see Future Sight in fights because why would Oda waste panel time on drawing the same thing twice, we only got Shank's vision of Kid cause he would prevent it from actually happening. But that does serve the point of "why even include it then" and I do hope the Strawhat death vision happens since that would be the best possible dramatic use of it.

Shanks having future sights makes sense why he picks and chooses his fights.

Great observation (pun not intended) about the circumstances of unlocking Conqueror's Haki... so it seems to me quite possible that Shanks unlocked CH in chapter 1, when saving Luffy. I think if that's the case it gives a lot of fertile ground for future plot points/character moments between the two of them. What if Shanks believes so much in Luffy and didn't just rush the One Piece while Luffy was a still a rookie because he partly attributes his success to Luffy, being the one who in a sense unlocked Shanks' strongest weapon? Also I'm starting to get the idea that (though there's not enough solid evidence to establish it firmly yet) that future sight is basically CH-infused observation haki, in parallel with the CH-infused armament haki which Luffy just unlocked. But I'll leave that as just a crack theory for now.

We actually saw Luffy use future sight as far back as marineford when he was going to attack mihawk but saw his arms being cut off.

This guy morj can run for president, everything he say so convincing

Regarding future sight, I think it would be quite boring to be constantly seeing panels of the future in the fights. It would actually be horrible.

Bro I'm gonna cry when this happens

Oooh only 40 seconds in and Morj is cookin with this one. Sounds hype if he's right

Did anyone else notice the “some of you will be going outside” shade he just threw??

I noticed Luffy has the same observation haki killing technique Shanks has. Remember that brain dead mode Luffy had where Enel couldn't use his observation haki/mantra on him 😅

The first 30 seconds of explaining Luffy's potential trigger, i got goosebumps.

3:18 Same with Zoro, he doesn’t see himself achieving the title of the World’s Strongest Swordsman unless he can protect his crew. Zoro also becomes an unstoppable demon (Asura) when his crew is in danger. He tapped into Asura when Kaku insulted Robin, when the pacifista was threatening the crew, and when Kaido was about to kill Luffy. Zoro also has many parallels with Whitebeard. So Zoro has to tap into this final level of Conquerors haki. Edit: Zoro still has not unlocked Deva path techniques yet

This is one of your best videos yet I enjoyed every second of it. It didnt even feel like a theory at all it felt like you were just telling my actual plot point and telling whats gonna happen.

even though I don't exactly agree with many of your predictions, I HAVE to say that your vision on the narrative side of one piece is one of a kind, you always bring up relations and possible cherkov guns that never in a million years would I think of

Great video!

At least in the manga, Zoro also shows CoC for the first time when he was desperate to save Luffy from Kaido, it also counts for the trend you mentioned. He went straight into Advanced thanks to Enma, but it confirms even more just how important Luffy is for him.

hey Morj hope you read this. I love ur videos, like fr... I just don't get the vibes from other OP realated channels that I get from yours... I love ur in depth analysis... I became fan of ur content the day I first saw ur Whole Cake Island arc analysis video. I love the way you present ur videos. I am too busy to watch One piece or any anime realted content on RU-vid because of my studies but I still smhw end up watching your videos. Just wanted to say that I love your work, keep doing what you are doing. The funny thing is you never disappoint, even the short videos you used to make in the start of ur utube journey were really great too [Yes I have seen ur each and every video]. You're my fav. One Piece Content Creator, Keep up the good work.

Really enjoyed the break down and theories in this video. Thanks Morj!

Your theories and analysis are so freaking cool, man. Thanks for this!

Brilliant theory. And it makes so much sense. I’m so fascinated with conquerors haki and Luffy in general so I’m very hyped to see how Oda ties it all together for the finale. Gonna be amazing.

I mean, it also added a ton of tension to the start of the Katakuri fight. Luffy breaking the mirror wouldn't have been half as cool if Katakuri didn't seem like an impossible challenge. It seems pretty obvious that a villain is going to do something that Luffy finds objectionable, which causes him to flex his conqueror's. I mean, duh. I really hope that if Oda does decide to instigate it with a future sight vision, he doesn't try to play it off like it's really happening. In this chapter it was clear that it was a vision, not what was actually happening, I think it was all sort of shaded grey? I hope Oda is consistent with that if he shows one or more of the SHs dying in a future vision.

agreed. made a viddeo on it on my second channl - without the same level of Morj detail though. i think shanks saw a dark future and thats why he warned Whitebeard

This also means imu sama will have strongest conquerors haki

I think by the time we reach end of story, what will reign supreme is Haki (Pure ambition of being the King) and Devil fruit will just be a little extra side dish on the side for perks

I hope we get to see this in Egghead. Luffy becoming a monster towards the Marine Fleet about to come and destroy everything on Egghead. This will seal his status as a Yonko

This theory is so spot on I would be surprised if this doesn't happen. Excellent video Morjman

Solid stuff

The life of Roger and how he had to team up with garp to beat the rocks pirates clearly shows the pirate king isn't the strongest nor is strength the reason Roger was the most free. Not to mention if kaido was the strongest creature alive he would have been dubbed pirate king based on strength alone.

Talking about dramatic future scene, not as much as the ones you mentionned, is when Luffy sees his arms being cut off by Mihawk at Marineford.

Great video...In terms of two future sight users in fights, it might just be cancelled out...kind of like two people using Atium in Mistborn.

Brilliant analysis 👌

What if Luffy tapping into the final level of conquerors to save his crew happens on egghead with the same people that were there when he failed before

Great video bro. You forgot the scene when Mihawk cuts Luffy's hands.

I like this idea. To me, the best way I can see it happening right now is during Egghead. After Luffy beats everybody, wins the day, and absolutely cements his Yonko status, Imu just decides that 'Nope' and death lazers the island. So here we have Luffy and his crew absolutely exhausted, with even Luffy and zoro being unable to move, but cheering and celebrating. Sanji is starting to make food, Nami is driking and bitching at Zoro and Luffy for getting themselves injures. Chopper is running around healing everyone. Etc. When suddenly, the death beams start falling down. Each strawhat gets a beam and vaporized, one by one in front of Luffy, before the island gets exploded. Then this is revealed to be a future vision, about to come true in like 3-5 seconds, and Luffy freaks the fuck out, panics, screams, and finally unlocks whatever ulti-conqueror Haki happens to be to stop the 16 holy bullets island-buster.

it also might be a new form of haki we have not yet known

This is a very good video I didn't think about the blooms in this manner

About Doflammingo unlocking his CoC, I think it was to protect himself (and also to demolish his captives), when he and his family were tied to stakes and about to be killed.

Just the start of this video and this might be your best one yet

I appreciate you making the tape on the shanks poster not visible ❤️

I agree 100% and I am way too hyped about this dramatic moment you described.

"Some of you are going to be outside" 😂

This is it. I think you nailed it

Really good ideas

imo both types of Haki mainly serves to add an extra dimension to fight scenes beyond just punches and kicks, with future sight giving characters to do that you laid out. It's a bonus not the main purpose from the get-go

1 minute in and i have to point out the subtle hint that we may have gotten in marineford. when Luffy tries to do gomu gomu no bazooka on mihawk he gets his first baby steps into future sight by seeing the future of his arms being sliced off, and stops the attack. a few chapters later and we get the famous "YAMEROUUU" scene where we see the first sign of his conqueror's haki come out. i wouldn't put it past oda to have slid in that little future sight scene so early on to hint at the connections with conqueror's haki that we're seeing now with shanks

Can't wait to see Usopp unlock Conqueror's haki awaken when he needs to protect someone.

10:20 That line about Mingo was cold af.

This makes a lot of sense. But we will see

15:03 goddamn I laughed so hard at this. I forgot how hilarious Gear 5 vs Kaido was

8:56 Missed luffy at impel down with the wolves

I don't think future sight needs to be shown every instance that its being used. That would be annoying to read, even more so to draw I'd imagine, so its best implied most of the time. Simply existing in a fight adds a barrier to entry for the highest league of fighters in the story. Knowing its being used makes the fight have a sense of unreachability, like these are no longer fights on the scale of people or warriors, but gods. Its pretty similar to Jedi fights in star wars, the force gives them a future sense which they use constantly throughout fights. The books mention how they try to read each other and also prevent others from reading them as well as block force attacks in general. Otherwise it just seems like they're spinning around a lot in the movies but you don't really need to know thats happening for the fights to still be cool, though knowing it does make it better.

So finally morj made a sensable video i agree with this one alot more than the raid failing

17:17 sooo true omg. They both are future sight users trying to protect those they love (Shanks wanting to protect his crew and Katakuri wanting to protect his family)

Crying for almost 20 mins from sheer hype. Thanks morj

We still don't really know what an "advanced" conqueror's haki is, and for this theory to be true we have to assume it just means a stronger wave of haki (which seems pretty redundant). I'm not sure if I agree with the part that says this will awaken a new level of haki, but I definitely agree this might be the reason future sight became a thing: so Oda can show the strawhats dying without actually killing them (and we all know how much Oda loves to get pretend deaths)

Morj you are so good man. This top shelf OP content.

Theory going along with the Morj: With Jay Garcia on his way to Egghead, the World Governement could take control of the seraphim putting, the straw hats in a dire situation where Luffy's Conqueror's Haki from his will to protect the crew is the only thing that can override the Gorosei's orders

Also supporting this theory is ennies lobby. When Zoro awakens his conqueror, he is thinking about Robin a moment before unleashing ashura.

8:55 And also when Luffy was protecting Bon-chan from the wolves.

Another banger

Characters using future sight in the series ❎ Morj using future sight to theorise about future sight ✅

If anyone other than morj posted a video with this title I would have thought it was click bait bullshit. But when I saw morj post it I was so hype 😂 because morj’s takes are always super based.

"some of you will be going outside" Hilarious

We did see how doffy got his conquerors when he was tied about and about to be killed I think. I could be misremembering but he was a kid in the flashback and his dad was a celestial who wanted to be a normal citizen and the villagers ended up attacking his family or something

I remember when the community was saying that luffy saw the crew died when kaido boro blasted Oden’s castle and that’s why he elephant gunned kaido. I remember that was a break week too so the theories were wild lmao

morj on wild mode. Awesome theory and I too believe it to be true

I reckon Roger's Haki reputation came from the God Valley incident. Garp and Kaido spoke of his Haki and were at God Valley after all.

16:47 Theres actually another moment I can think of where we were actually SHOWN future sight in the manga and its Luffy preparing to attack Mihawk and we see a panel where his arms would be cut in the future but he attacks the ground instead of at Mihawk who would've cut both his arms off.

Imagine an entire chapter where the SHs are completely eliminated, killed in brutal ways (silhouettes only) and then... the last panel... focusing on Luffy, maybe Sanji too, seeing the future: "No!... That cant' happen". Then the next chapter is Luffy (and maybe Sanji helping) just rushing like a mad monstrous monkey to stop whatever or whoever is going to do something unspeakable to his friends. Honestly, this video made me replace my most hyped awaited moment from Kuma leveling Mary Geoise with an atomic-level Ursus Shock [

Oda: invents future sight with ulterior motives Morj: now *I* have future sight

This convinced me that the D. In Will of D. Stands for dreams

I think we're now going into a portion of the story were the Will of pirates is going to start taking a more physical form. So think that Shanks Powers might fall into a new category of power outside Devilfruit and Haki that will be more about the personal Will a Person and turning that into something physical.

This moment you are talking about is what I wanted in wano with luffy protecting his crew from kaido, but I guess its something oda wants for the final saga

It would be very cool!

You also forgot about Luffy using future sight in marinford while stopping attack on mihawk

Imagine a surge of all three types. Armament making you invincible and striking with steel crushing force, observation making you untouchable, and conquerer causing fear in even your most strong willed opponents

Doflamingo awakened his power while he was losing the most precious to thing to him which was his status as a Celestial Dragon

.....what if you can apply Conqueror's in a fashion similar to Observation, and that's the methodology of Shanks's "observation killing" thing

Replace the word haki with Rizz and toss video becomes HILARIOUS 😂😂

Saturn looked really menacing this chapter

The quality of a king, I would say.

The theme of haki blooming when you need to protect someone when you're utterly powerless is the reason I don't like Zoro's awakening as a Conqueror's user. Oda robbed us of a moment for a really dramatic, character defining moment for him.

I always assumed it was more...only great people have access to greater forms of haki. And great people tend to have great goals and tend to be looking into the future for ways to change it to their will. As Shanks is at the very top, he seems to have been crafting things to his will. Or the will of Roger. Shanks always gave me John the Baptist vibes, the Pathmaker, the one who clears the way, so to speak.

So he's final power up will come in Egghead, because such a situation is what's is developing rn

basically what you explain in the beginning is, in purpose of being the freest, you need to be the strongest

Morj back in his bag.

I disagree about the future sight take. Future sight is always active and necessary against people like Kaido or Shanks or even Katakuri to a degree. It's true that Future SIght has only been *mentioned* a few times. However those times it was mentioned were to denote a character using it to an extreme degree. When Kaido uses Thunder Bagua, he uses Conqueror's Haki to move so fast that you can't see him-- and aren't even aware that he began an attack. The only way to counter such a move is by using Future Sight. When Luffy learned how to use Snake Man, he needed Future Sight to do so because as the attack continues, it moves too fast for Luffy to be able to aim; when you look back at the Katakuri fight- he and Luffy were in a feedback loop of using future sight as the Snake Man portion all happened in an instant of an instant. Thus, we get no explicit mention now when future sight is used because beyond a certain point of power (namely speed)*, you have to use Future Sight to even get in the ring. When we do get mention it's because people like Katakuri, Kaido or Shanks are using Future Sight to see several seconds ahead as opposed to a few seconds.

I'd say there is a high probability such an event will occur. Egghead is looking like it may.have such a situation. Even Kizaru is showing up for a potential round 2 with the Straw Hats.

Kishimoto did a great job of implementing future sight into his manga.

Morj is in his bag with this one

If I'm not mistaken wasn't Mr.3 one of the executioner who was gonna kill ace

I'm surprised you didn't mention th3 future sight in Udon prison and how Luffy saw a terrible future

Every theory video has to have a Wano moratorium teaser 🤣
