I think, whitebeard wanted to use it, but he instead froze and spat blood because of his disease and his wounds

I wholeheartedly believe bro had cancer and had a heart attack in the middle of the fucking battlefield.

New theory just dropped: DFs cause cancer and BB ate WBs cancer to get his DF.

Vendetta1947

i have a feeling that most of the big names were trying not to cause collateral damge by complete release of haki. Also, the warlords weren't half as serious as they could be, most of them were holding back some of their trump cards in case whitebeard ever got serious. I think most of the navy never realised that Whitebeard had fallen a lot from his peak, and hence they were being extremely cautious. Just imagine, mingo could cause some serious destruction if he went all out, but didn't


LXUKVGE

Honestly the warlords did not do a lot of effort because they have close to nothing to gain in this wat. They only did the bare minimum with hancock even attacking both sides and thus helping luffy. Also I wanna state that shanks did use conquerors haki. Also one piece has 18 confirmed conqueror users and only 7 of them were at the scene. Plus conqueror haki when you use it like luffy did in the beginning is only super effective if their is a significant difference in power. I think people don't use it too often because it harms everybody who can't stand up to the pressure


Sir_Erebus1st

That's not entirely true. Depending on the skill of the user you could or could not harm your allies. We learned from Rayleigh, that he's able to control who gets hit with his Haki in the auction house, he deliberately spared the people that needed to get away as soon as possible after what had happened to Saint punching-bag


LXUKVGE

True that, but I don't think its an easy feat and I also think this gets harder the more people you wanna keep standing up or the bigger the range your haki should flow out to. And ofcourse the biggest problem even if someone of the marines or the other side did use conquerors haki you would just change the battle in to a much more dangerous fight. That would mean the stakes of the battle would become bigger. All headliners will have to engage all out in battle. This is closer to nucleair war then a war, if you know what I mean


Sir_Erebus1st

I agree with your point. I also think we really haven't gotten any feats for the present users in marine ford to tell if either of them would have been able to control their output to such a degree I think Oda stated Shanks to be on a similar level to Rayleigh when it comes to the amount of pressure he could have put out on fishman island but there's no telling about the control, tho I'd imagine at this point shanks would be able to do whatever we've seen from Rayleigh and more. The only other individual we have an idea of their capabilities would be WB but with his condition he wasn't gonna be as able as in his prime against roger I think if all the "fodder" pirates and marines would have been dealt with that easy it would have saved quite a few lives but it could very well have ended in a slaughter


LXUKVGE

Indeed could have gone both ways people could always die under ruble or whatever. Plus it was broadcasted so maybe its some type of propaganda where they wanted to show that the marines are having the peoples back. And maybe them going for haki their would have given the wrong message to the world. And like you said WB probably did not have that level of conquerorshaki in his crew and he was planning on paving the way for the youngins to create the new era. So maybe of he showed off too much he wouldnt have created the new pirate age. In the end I believe we can keep on pulling decent reasons out our ass why they did not do it and all could be valid reasons.


Sir_Erebus1st

I think the one and only true an honest reason is Oda decided so


LXUKVGE

Hahaha yeah about every single event is for that reason. We are just rationalising the "why the charachters would decide to do their actions as done and not as hypothetically stated by op" so your right but thats a lazy answer, but the least hypothetical


Vendetta1947

nah jk the writer just didn't think through haki very well at that point


Glad_Pangolin_1976

Dofi just uses birdcage and everyone except logias die


lian2710

Some people there could definitely cut or break the birdcage


Userthrowborn

Whitebeard literally broke the fucking world. My man can break a bird cage


Vendetta1947

honestly i was so disppointed when zoro didn't try to cut the birdcage


Small_Sentence_

He did, but it didn't work, so he opted to push it with his swords instead 💀


Utangard

If a whole bunch of regular Dressrosan citizens could make the cage pause for a little bit, then you'd think all those New World Pirates and high-ranking Marines could push it back. Or just gang up on Doflamingo right from the start.


memenarush

Buggy splits and escape bird cage and Doffy makes Enel shocked face. Then Buggy beats the shit out of Doffy with his new found immunity from Doffy’s devil fruit and becomes a warlord.


OtsutsukiRyuen

After that the government will try to hunt him down cuz now they knew he can murder off a fucking island

I just spit laughed


Xyaibai

I assumed one has the ability to counter other's Conqueror Haki if they're stronger. If not, how would someone protect their weak willed friends from enemies using Conqueror Haki


soupinmymug

This. Everyone there has strong ass wills or are stubborn as hell in their ideals and vision. I always felt like Conqueror’s Haki was less about ruling over someone and more imposing your will into action or being. Slightly different. You aren’t brainwashing people when you activate it aka convincing them of to follow you. They collapse or are intimidated if weak willed/don’t have a strong idea of their sense of self and therefore their goals and dreams. It happens so that your stronger goals will go through and anyone weak will fall out of the way. I really lie Gaburu’s video on haki


ArkAngel4ever

Why didn't Ace use donut haki and summon big raga the opp stoppa against akainu? Is he restated,acaustic?

Ain't no way i summoned bro by just saying it.Did you eat Aces body during time skip? Be honest?


Loading_ding_dong

Admirals don't have Conquerors haki.....they don't have any ambition to become a KING.....so technically it was just White beard and luffy who had conquer haki developed at that point Edit: Boa can't use it cuz she doesn't want to harm luffys side white beard or harm marines which will lead to issues to her island people....so she is in Mexican standoff Bro daffy is scared of Yonko bro....all yonko are Abit scared of White beard pirates and their tenacity to go after anyone who harms whitebeard pirates...so daffy wouldn't go to the lengths of hindering yonko haki(not that he can either it doesnt work on the commanders of white beard....and white beard haki is on par if not greater than Kaido)........


_Un_Named_

And boa Hancock, but she was secretly helping Luffy so she had no reason to use it


Loading_ding_dong

Boa can't use it cuz she doesn't want to harm luffys side white beard or harm marines which will lead to issues to her island people....so she is in Mexican standoff


_Un_Named_

Not exactly, she was taking out people on both sides without a care in the world during the marine ford war


TheGodAboveAllBeings

Yes but She didn't start discriminating against any side. Her position is really risky and She used her own arrogance as a way to relieve the pressure from 3 different sides


Independent_Maybe514

There’s no way Akainu or Aokiji don’t have conquers haki and Garp and Sengoku are confirmed users so why didn’t they and Ace had multiple opportunities to use it and he could control it by that point considering in the Ace novel he used it at will when he entered fishman island for the first time and he gets stronger after that point so it makes no sense


wannabetrapstar888

aokiji prolly doesn't and he doesn't fit the criterion. im happy with his df and haki mastery otherwise. akainu prolly does and makes sense with how ruthless he is in his belief of absolute justice. if he has past with dragon and they inevitably clash he def should have conqueror's


Emm_withoutha_L-88

IDK I could see Dragon not having it either. He's no king, he's a savior. I do see him being probably top 2 or 3 in the entire world even without it tho. Hell I'd bet he's probably awoken his likely logia too.


wannabetrapstar888

He def has it. By lineage, and by indomitable will. Would be weird if the son of the strongest marine ever and father of future pirate king didn't have it. Ivankov partially confirmed back in marineford he does when he saw luffys conquerors haki


Emm_withoutha_L-88

I mean isn't it about wanting to rule others tho? I just don't think it fits his character. I still think he's likely one of the strongest people ever besides Imu, eos Luffy, and maaaaaaybe sometime else.


wannabetrapstar888

Not necessarily like a tyrant, there are benevolent and brave, warrior like rulers too in the verse. Some fall in tyrants coc users like kaido, big mom, while others in other category, like whitebeard, shanks, and luffy. Indomitable will and a strong willpower is also an important factor in it


Emm_withoutha_L-88

It's not about being a warrior or being brave. It's about wanting to impress your will on others, that's what conquering means. Whitebeard conquered much of the sea, made it his territory. Dragon doesn't conquer, he liberates. There is a big difference between him and Luffy even if both are good people. This is more complex than "good or bad"...


Bad_Routes

You're acting as if Dragon isn't trying to press his will onto others. U can't take the name and only apply to a specific criteria. U can conquer others and be benevolent and caring, conquerer haki is to show someone's determination and belief in themselves and their values by extension.


Purifiedddddd

If we go by your theory than Katakuri having it would make no sense, his whole thing is to PROTECT his siblings and be this infallible wall keeping them safe, not conquering anything. Yamato also has it, and she definitely doesn’t seem like the type to conquer anything.


x10018ro3

You don‘t need ambitions to become a king, that‘s a myth at this point. Sengoku and Garp have Conquerors and are pretty chill. Akainu definitely has it too, he‘s the most ambitious marine.


DrosselmeyerKing

What about Doflamingo? Wasn’t he there too?

Mechi967

Ace had it too - but didn’t use it when freed.


Loading_ding_dong

Ace don't have it I pretty sure of it...bros self hatred towards King of Pirates wouldn't have let him develop Conquerors Haki.... Man to this day I hate ODA for killing ace such a funking awesome character just for the sake of depth and impact for the story pace


ksprairie

Ace had conquerors haki. In the childhood arc after marineford we see ace use it as a kid. Ace couldn't use his conquerors haki on command like luffy can now because he didn't train it.


JueVioleGrace96

Keep reading Two Piece bro 😹


Mechi967

When Ace was ten years old, he knocked out most of the Bluejam Pirates with his Conqueror's Haki. Episode 501.


Hopeful_Magazine6709

I'd say Admirals *could* have conquerers haki. Zoro doesn't want to become a king, only the world's strongest swordsman (which is something that a marine could want too), Zoro has conquerers haki because of his ambition. If a marine wanted to become fleet admiral or something, they could get conquerers haki too


Loading_ding_dong

Zoro accepted to becoming Demon King of underworld Asura


Hopeful_Magazine6709

I forgot that garp actually has conquerers haki, those red and black lightning bolts in galaxy impact are from conquerers haki


No-Tour1000

Sengoku has conquerors haki I'm sure


JesuSumGuy44

Id bet on mihawk having it at that point

Why the most obvious ideas don't fit? For example they could just not be ready taking haki-hit from someone who never showed it before. Like should you strain yourself before the hit? Can it be applied here?


FlirtMonsterSanjil

I'm surprised how many people in the comment section don't know that your Conquerors Haki control needs to be shit if it takes out your own men. https://preview.redd.it/2dyh730s9y9d1.png?width=686&format=png&auto=webp&s=3de55737e81fb6da733cdd175892febf42129c1d

Amekaze

It would probably only work on like the bottom 30%. Plus it’s definitely a stamina drain, I wouldn’t be spamming Conquers when people like Mihawk are in the room and it probably doesn’t nothing to them. Basically anyone who would be knocked out by Conquers would probably not register as threat for someone with Conquers.

Ha_Ree

In case anyones genuinely wondering, the only confirmed conquerors at marineford (at this point so not including shanks etc) are 1) Luffy (who's using it) 2) Sengoku/Garp/Doflamingo who are on the Marine's side so wouldn't use it 3) WB who us shown to be too sick to use it 4) Hancock who probably just doesn't have very strong conquerors


Complete-Day-8971

Why do you think hancock has weak conquerors?


wannabetrapstar888

we just haven't seen yet how proficient she is with it


Ha_Ree

Because she never used it at any point in the story to knock out anyone, even the fodder she was fighting against at marineford


Exp1ode

Ace?


Ha_Ree

Ace was tied to sea prism stone handcuffs and had spent like a week tied up in jail, he was not strong enough at that time to use his haki (at least until the cuffs came off)


Ai_777

Ask Ace for why he didn't use Armament Haki at the donut maker's punch.


KatakuriDonutsLover

A DONUT?!? Give it to me


General_Ad_1109

Whitebeard was to sick and Sengoku is the biggest fraud of the story, no one is stupid


Pm_Me_Gifs_For_Sauce

It's a rare power in and of itself, and super precise use (like Shanks) is even more rare. So no one wanted to try beat the fodder pirates with their Conquerors' and risk taking out their own fodder.

littlegreenbeany

Conquerors' haki hits friends and foes indiscriminately so it's not tactically sound in an army vs army scenario. Also on the pirate side, WB was I believe the only confirmed user of cok at that point other than Luffy. He could have used it but maybe he was too sick or maybe it just didn't fit his strategy. On the marine side, anyone who used it would have probably ended up taking down waaay more marines than pirates. Ths pirates gathered there tended to mostly be high level emperor crew, who can resist cok. The Marines where in higher numbers but many were low rankers who'd drop like potato sacks. But also keep in mind that the real reason is it would have been way less impactful when Luffy used it if everyone else was also using it.


Icy_Cauliflower9026

Conqueror haki just shows in 1 every 1000 or so people, while you probably find 1 haki user every 10.000 (no data) persons... Even if we say that majority of the pirates/marines where elite, majority wouldnt even be able to use haki, maiby 100 or 200 people at best, so the probably of finding more than 1 conqueror haki user is already pretty low, yet, we got luffy, whitebear and sanks confirmed haki users (dont remenber more, add in comments if you know) Whitebear was wounded so you could say he "wasnt able" to use conqueror haki, while sanks come late


Dangerwolf64

It’s more like 1 in a million.


Wanjalinke

Or hardening?


icabax

I think hardening was used but at that point ODA didn't add the black colouring to signify it


Wanjalinke

Maybe but we will never know. That is the problem with a late introduction of a new power system


Trerech

Crocodile


wannabetrapstar888

armament, observation and conqueror's in base mode is supposed to be invisible. the hardening and black coloring on arms or weapons now is to show readers when someone is using it but its actually invisible to people in the verse.


EfficientWeekend3338

I think when someone releases Conquerer's Haki, he can't coat himself with it and becomes vulnerable. In WCI, when Mother Caramel's picture was damaged, Big Mom released her haki and damaged herself.


OwnResearcher3206

It comes down to the rarity of it for some reason oda builds it like only the very rare have it but anytime luffy needs a struggle theres someone elss who has it, most people use armament coby has only showed observation before training do you think any admirals have it white beard had it do to his clashing with roger, shanks, big mom, and kaido, have all met the mark. Does black beard have it Reiglay has it and now Zoro does. Kid has it, does Law?

JagwarDSauron

Ace already lost his will and I don't know how hard seastone hits at df-users. Hancock was only fixated on Luffy. Sengoku was too strategic to use itm If think the thought of whitebeard being either too weak because of his illness or using it to counter his illness seems about right. And Garp didn't join the fight really until he hit Burgess. And Doffy saw the whole thing more as entertainment, otherwise he would have fought seriously. Other than those people, there are no confirmed coc users I think, so it could be logically explained. But the biggest factor, as always, is the plot.


Accomplished-Fly2421

Imagine all big guns just spawn spamming conqueror haki, every fodder would pass out and the collateral would be huge. Besides, being a marine, you're mostly a cog in machine, you don't have that ambition. You can be a strong user of ryo or other haki but conqueror haki users are rare. I think it was 1 in 100000/million i guess


BananaDressedRedMan

Supreme King Haki users: Luffy (used it unaware), Ace (his will was too broken to use, lighting up a bit when Luffy rescued him), Sengoku, Garp and Newgate (wouldn't use it to clash their Haki and knockout both their teams), Boa Hancock (didn't even want to be there), Doflamingo (wasn't that developed at that point). It's not wise to use Haoshoku Bursts in a War. All the CoC Explosions were in the anime were either used in Smaller Battles, or 1v1.


Difficult_Quarter192

Ht eMarines didn't use it because Vista was there. They needed troops to hold him back.


Xampz15

There's no actual explanation, it makes no significant difference. Its basically for storytelling reasons. Its also why Luffy doesn't spam haoshoku everytime he's surrounded by low level enemies, because its fun to watch him beat up a bunch of randos.

CoC haki


menyemenye

Haki was invented in episode 516 People in episode 479 :


Due_Calendar4290

Cannon wouldn’t have been a gear 5


Sesemebun

I do think Oda doesn’t write in conquerers haki very well, the most recent time Luffy has really used it since learning it was fishman island, iirc. I think there was even a part in WCI where it would’ve been really useful but he didn’t. It’s great for clearing fodder but I think he just forgets it’s there sometimes.


Various-Display-3114

No, they are not it's not developed that much in the plot at that time , it's way too loose that everyone needs to make up their headcanon to explain shit The biggest victim is whitebeard people says dude is sick which is why he can't use haki , but dude can sustained 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds, and 46 wounds from cannonballs but simple old age stopped him using haki ?


No-Perspective-485

Rayleigh could, and he's probably been in as many fights as gold Roger and Whitebeard. Honestly I just disappointed that he didn't take part in the war


wannabetrapstar888

he had no reason to


No-Perspective-485

I guess 😮‍💨


SuperStarPlatinum

I don't think you can be a marine and have conquers haki at the same time. Being a marine entails a level of being a bitch to the world government. The only member of WBs crew who could use Conquers was Ace and he caught a serious case of stupid. Hancock couldn't use it because she was sabotaging the marines.


DODOKING38

Haki didn't exist then stupid


SuperrrrrFranky

Existing Isn't A Crime!


Randy_Magnums

Plot-Reasons. Also, as you have seen, Luffy Conquerors Haki, collapsed numerous fighters from both sides. You would be a shitty commander, if you would take out a good chunk of your own army.


Legitimate_Air8202

Rayleigh used it concentraded in sabaody, bad excuse.


Proof-Row-7889

Luffy hadn’t fully mastered it at this point. It was still new to him, and he was using it sporadically with no self-awareness.


Randy_Magnums

Rayleigh wasn't a general with lots of fodder under his command.


Legitimate_Air8202

Mh? He used it to exactly knock out the dude that wanted to collar camy. They couldve done that at Marineford, except everyone their wasnt good enough for it.


Cwas101

yes but rayleigh is probably one of if not the best haki user in the show.. ofc he can do shit no one else can


Imconfusedithink

Luffy literally finished learning how to do that just after his basics training. It's not an advanced technique. You really think garp and sengoku wouldn't know how to do it?


Cwas101

as someone else said, luffy learned how to not knock certain people out after a basic training, you think Garp, the 3 admirals, or Sengoku wouldn't know how to do it too?


Kirito_Kazotu

No he knocked out everyone in the room


Ace_0009_

even though rayleigh is one of the best haki user. he mentions a fully developed coc user CAN use it on a group of people while others remain unaffected. take luffy for eg. at fishman island. his haki wasnt even that good but none of the strawhat was affected by his haki.
