Haki Usage

[Haris]

'Haki' is a power that lies dormant in all the world's creatures... 'Presence', 'fighting spirit' and 'intimidation'... It is not different from the things that humans can naturally sense such as these... 'The act of not doubting'. That is strength!

Haki is separated into three categories: Kenbunshoku Haki, which grants users a sixth sense of the world around them and limited precognitive abilities; Busōshoku Haki, which allows the user to use their spirit as armor to defend against attacks or to make their own attacks more potent; and Haōshoku Haki, a rare type of Haki only one in a million can use which grants the user the ability to overpower the will of others. Most people who can use Haki tend to have a type they're better at and as a result focus on that type. However, a person can improve their abilities with all the types of haki, it just requires more work.

1. Kenbunshoku Haki (Colours of Observation)
A form of Haki that allows the user to sense the presence of others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally. When using this type of Haki, one can predict an opponent's moves shortly before they make them, thereby making the attack that much easier to evade. This prediction appears to the user as an image or brief "premonition" of what the opponent will do in the user's mind's eye, and the damage the user will take if the attack "hits" for real. It appears that the more killer intent the enemy has the easier they are to predict, though more skilled users can predict future moves regardless of whether there are ambient murderous intents or not.

Though the technique allows the user to predict most attacks, it can be circumvented by various means. It cannot predict inherently random attacks; for example, Luffy managed to bypass Enel's Mantra by bouncing his fists off a nearby wall, to prevent himself and thus Enel from knowing where they would land. Tying in with the inability to detect random attacks, Kenbunshoku Haki seems to be linked to the target's own awareness of themselves and their surroundings.

2. Busōshoku Haki (Colours of Armament)
Allows the user to create a force similar to an invisible armor around themselves. Similar to Tekkai, this allows the user to defend against attacks that would otherwise cause them harm. Only significant physical force can overcome this defense; for example, Luffy striking Boa Marigold hard enough with Gear Second moves to send her reeling. The invisible armor can take on many forms such as Luffy hardening his fist to the point where it changed color.

With training, it can be further honed into a weapon with which to strike others. It can be used to augment the user's physical attacks, projected ahead of the user as pure sheer force, or imbued in weapons to increase their effectiveness. Any attack enhanced by Haki hits immensely harder than it would normally. The Kuja's Haki-imbued arrows, for example, are capable of penetrating solid stone.

This type of Haki also has the ability to bypass the powers of a Devil Fruit user, striking the "substantial body" beneath whatever protection the fruit provides, even in the case of body-altering Devil Fruits such as Logia users. Busōshoku Haki works independently of the user's Devil Fruit, as shown when Luffy uses it to enhance his Gear Third attack underwater

For RP purposes, one can only infuse weapons with Haki if he/she's in direct contact with them, thus no Haki infused bullets and cannonballs.

3. Haōshoku Haki ( Colour of the Conquering King)
A rare form of Haki that cannot be attained through training and only one in a million people carry it. This type of Haki grants the user the ability to overpower the wills of others. The most common usage in the series so far is knocking those with weak wills unconscious. Whilst inexperienced users are restricted to merely overpowering the will of one individual or blindly knocking out weak-willed people around them, those with more expertise can pick out weak-willed individuals in a large group and knock them out without affecting those around them. However, those with stronger wills can resist or even ignore the effects of Haōshoku Haki. According to Rayleigh, while this type of Haki cannot be attained through training, it can be improved through training, as it grows as the users spirit grows. It seems that upon recovery, victims of Haōshoku Haki experience the sensation of chills running through their body, though it presumably wears off after a short period.

To acquire Haki in this RP, one must possess especial characteristics. Even then, one is not guaranteed to be given Haki. Random missions or events may/will be given, which will unlock Haki upon succeeding.

For Non-Devil Fruit Users, Paramecia Users and Normal Zoan Users:

1. At the 4th Rank, one can unlock either Armaments Haki or Observation Haki, but will not be able to fully master it.

2. At the 5th Rank, one will be able to master his/her first Haki to a great level,

3. At the 6th Rank one will be able to unlock the second Haki, not yet fully mastered.

4. At the 7th Rank, one will be able to fully master all the Haki one possesses, being always more proficient with the very first he/she acquired. Some will also be given the opportunity to aquire Conqueror's King Haki, and fully master it in the next rank.

For Logia Users, Carnivorous, Ancient or Mythical Zoan

1. At the 4th Rank, one can unlock either Armaments Haki or Observation Haki, but will not be able to fully master it.

2. At the 5th Rank, one will be able to master his/her first Haki to a great level,

3. At the 6th Rank one will be able to unlock the second Haki, not yet fully mastered.

4. At the 7th Rank, one will be able to fully master all the Haki one possesses, being always more proficient with the very first he/she acquired. One cannot have Conqueror King's Haki and one of these Devil Fruits.
