Okay before I get to my main points you have to be open minded before reading this. Never in Op has Oda introduced askill and hasn't expanded on it. Lets use some other Haki examples so I can prove Oda's expansions of Haki and how it will be in the future. Please read the full thread and give it a chance before you bash it.
1)Color of Arnaments
User:Vergo
Expansion-Full body arnaments haki
2)Color of Observation
User:Madame shirley
Expansion-Able to see within the future
These 2 are just example to show you Oda's expansion for Haki the list could go on but I don't feel like putting debatable arnament Haki uses like Asura and Diable Jambe so let stay focused on the point.
Monkey D Luffy Breakdown-Sure Kings Haki can knock out fodder. But knocking out fodder isn't going to make Luffy PK. Beating top tiers will. I find it strange that Oda would give the captain of the crew the most useless Haki specialty against top tiers. So far Luffy arnaments has been penetrated by Hody which is a big red flag defensively and his Observations seems to be off the chart. COA and COO has to be trained for Luffy to get stronger but in the case of Kings haki it doesn't have to be trained.
"However unlike the other two you can control it but you can't train yourself to use it. Thats becaues it is the spirit itself af its owner. You can only enhance it by developing yourself"[/I]-Silvers Rayleigh
What I take from the sentence what I take from that quote from Rayleigh is Luffy will get power ups without having to train for it and I think that's the a cool benefit. He said only way to enhance it is by developing yourself and I think that statement is a bit vague and gives Oda alot of room to mess around. There is no set in stone blueprint in developing yourself and it totally up to Oda when he thinks Luffy has developed to enhance it
These are the 4 thing I think Kings Haki uses will be(Expansion)
1)Manipulate all forms of matter and energy
2)Eradicate or dissapate Logia based abilities
3)Destroy physical objects and people
4)Paralyze stronger opponents with weaker wills(Farfetched)
Manipulate all forms of energy

1)When Rayleigh removes the neck collar. If you look closely he releases Kings haki for a split second to shut off/dominate what ever causes the collar to explode. Then he removes it quickly with his hands and tosses it away. This is non debatable because everyone say the same aura used to animate Kings Haki.
2)When Ace turn't off the fire-When ace Kings Haki is release at an early age. It dominated the fire for the period of time it was activated. Then when the Haki burst finished the fire can back on. So this shows me that Kings Haki gains dominance over energy or elements
Eradicate or dissapate all elements or logia based abilities
1)Jozu ice-When Jozu got freezed he should have just use his arnament to break the ice like people said Doffy did but he didn't do it. In terms of physical strength I think Jozu destroys Doffy and plus the guy has a natural hardening mechanism by being a diamond man.
2)Doffy ice-When Doffy got freezed he shattered it easily and in my opinion it wasn't arnaments cause jozu couldn't shatter it. Also in the anime it clearly showed Doffy's glasses when the ice was breaking. When Kings haki is being used the eyes are used to showcase it. I think DD shattered the ice because he gained dominance over it with his Kings haki
3)Monets snow-Monet tries to put Luffy into hypothermia and snow covers his body The second his Kings Haki is activated the snow falls off and this is whiles Luffy is laying down and before he uses G2. Again I'm not saying it right or confirmed or anything I'm just merely giving ideaa for kings haki.
What effects Kings Haki(The heart)
Whitebeard couldn't use Kings Haki at Marineford to save Ace because his heart was affected and he was coughing blood
When Doffy broke the ice Buffalo said his heart hadn't frozen yet. I think the heart is what trigger Kings Haki you effect the heart in any way you disrupt Kings Haki.
Luffy biggest opponent are logia users
Blackbeard-Yami Yami
Akainu-Magu Magu
My opinion:The yami yami is inescapable so if I'm right and Kings haki can gain dominance over logia based abilities he has a fighting chance. Also Shanks has showed us his Kings haki is always actively on so Luffy should be able to keep his on for the whole match verus BB. I could picture a scenario where BB tries to pull Luffy in an he uses Kings Haki to blow away the darkness.
Destroy physical objects or people
So far we know Luffy can use haki selectively. When I say selectively I mean he can focus it on what he wants to knock out. My guess is if your Kings haki is strong enough you can focus it on a person or your fist. My point is you can aim your Kings haki at what you want too
Selective targeted kings haki usage example
If you look at the last page on Chapter 716 page 17 we see the spectators reactions it looks like a shockwave tries to blow them away which arnaments haki doesn't do kings haki does it. Also the reason why they aren't knocked out is becuase the Kings Haki isn't directed at them they just are blown away and feels it a little.
When Shanks and Whitebeard directs there Kings haki towards each other and there swords clash its result is more planetary than Luffy vs Chinjoa because the sky splits. Meaning one haki was vying for dominance on each side.
Shanks is the first person shown to actively keep on his Kings haki. In doing so he damaged apart of WB shit. As shown when he walked on WB his presence alone is overwhelming to withstand that why I said he actively kept on his Kings haki. So it evident when Shanks haki leaks out it destroys objects.
Paralyze strong people with weaker wills
This one is the most farfetched of the ones I posted because Zoro isn't a confirmed Kings Haki user. But I used the concept of Kings Haki to make the point. Kings Haki is basically "INTIMIDATION" so even if Zoro didn't used kings haki directly he used it to scare her. By scaring her she couldn't move her limbs nor could she go into her logia form because she was completely paralyzed.
Why I think Kings Haki isn't just fodder removal
Look at the reactions
1)Whitebeard told his pirates to backup Luffy after Luffy used Kings haki
2)Kizaru said he didn't know Luffy had that tremendous power
3)Aokiji was in shock and Mihawk
4)Shanks has no DF one arm and is regarded as a yonko. Keep in mind all yonkos have haki his might be superior but what make him different is his Kings haki
