[Theory] Conqueror's haki

[Tomato God]

Conqueror's haki is the ability to disrupt or cancle out someone else's move or plans causing it or them to stop. If it's used on weaker people it causes them to simply stop being awake.

Rayliegh was able to disarm an explosive collar and then remove it from Kemei's neck without it exploding

Rayleigh has mastered Haoshoku Haki to the extent that he can render a specific target completely unconscious. He is able to do this without the aid of eye contact, nor adversely affect anybody else near the initial target. He disabled an entire hall room of hostiles with this power, save for the Kid Pirates and Heart Pirates. Rayleigh later commented that the pirates still standing were no ordinary rookies. Only very strong and determined individuals can resist from being knocked unconscious. One of Trafalgar Law's crewmen was very close to being knocked out, and even Law and Eustass Kid were sweating slightly after enduring the blast.

These points are the foundation for my thesis when put in the following terms
All of this can be compared to magnetism

CoO - Color of observation Rayliegh described it as the abilty to precive another
Magnetism can be used to detect metal and "sense" it
CoA - Color of Armarment Rayliegh compared it to an invisible suit of armor or a field able to stop a devil fruit ability on contact
Magnets can be used to reple and push thigns away similar to an invisble feild and if touching another circuit a mangnet can turn that circuit off. Devil fruits being the circuit
CoC - Color of Conqueror's Rayliegh said this was using your will to overcome anothers will
An electromagnetic pulse can be used to shut down another electromagnitic field's flow


Rayliegh discharged a large ammount of will power at the auction house even affecting Kidd and Law But not harming even usopp (Which means something but thats none of my business). Everything stopped when he did this similar to the way An EMP stops a Flow of Electromagnetisism. He Also used this haki to turn off the colar temporarily freeing kemi.
Everytime luffy used his raw haki before the time-skip it was a freeze frame. Even if you didn't get overwhelmed and "Shut down" Your circuits were "disrupted" causing you to stop what you were doing.

Why else would two heavy weights be throwing CoC at eachother in the most recent chapter if there was no way it would "Shut down" Their opponent? Because CoC gives you the abilty to stop your opponet at what ever they are doing by releasing a large ammount of energy.

Example -
Zoro Attacks luffy with a simple slash and right before zoro connects Luffy uses kings haki to stop him by overpowering him temporarily

In closing Kings haki is the power to force your will onto others either disabling them or shuting them down temporarily with large ammouts of distructive energy making it almost impossible for people without kings haki to contend with CoC users because everytime they try to attack they are just shut down again with another EMP like burst of Power.

That is an interesting theory, and it would explain why the strongest characters throw it at each other.

It would explain why a kick that could crack a mountain can be survived. That kick would probably have done more damage but Luffy's Conqueror's Haki stopped it (or weakened it).

This also explains why Conquerors Haki users seem so far above the rest of pirates, Luffy and Chinjao were able to tear through every other guy at the arena.

Also that would explain why its such a big deal to have. Its an automatic leg up on all your opponents forever.

Ace, Chinjao, Doflamingo, Whitebeard, Boa Hancock, the Dark King, Gol D Roger, and Luffy.

It seems that just to be able to reach the top you need to have the King's Haki, most likely all the big villains from this point forward will have it, including all the Yonko.

Also I suspect that Hawkeye Mihawk has it as well.

I honestly said do not understand at all the point is you are trying to make here. You're talking about a thesis, but the only thing I see is that for some reason you found it necessary to compare it to magnetism, which I also don't get as why you are doing that.

Haki is willpower and everyone has it. One in a million is born with the King's Disposition, the haki of a king, someone who is destined to rule over others or in other words over other people's haki. Someone who has the KD can knock out people that have a weaker will, however people who have a stronger will can withstand it and they do not even need to do it consciously. That has been shown on multiple occasions. Rayleigh unleashed his will on the entire auction hall, but many people withstood without undersanding what exactly happened. Same thing during the War of the Best when Luffy unleashed his will. Many marines and pirates got KO'd, but many others withstood it without even doing anything.

If people with the KD could start knocking just about everyone out whenever they want just by unleashing their haki, why even bother fighting? It only works on the weak-willed, not the strong-willed even if they do not have the KD themselves and this is something the series itself already has proven. Marco also explained this when Shanks met Whitebeard: if you have the will, you will be able to withstand the pressure of someone who unleashed the KD.

So again what is your point?

He's trying to say that for people who are strong enough that a Haoshoku burst won't knock them out, the other effect would be that if would stop their movement for a moment, which is why higher tiers bother to use it against each other despite knowing it wouldn't knock the other out. He's basically saying Haoshoku can be an invisible force that bears down on another, restricting their movement. He's just comparing it to magnetism to emphasize his point a bit.

This
Exactly this

I like this idea, although comparing to magnetism is just a convenient metaphor. I myself have been wondering why the marines thought it such a threat if it can't knock out Vice admiral or admirals. But the disrupting effect still seems to explain it. Enough CoC will knock someone out, but against higher tier opponents it seems useful enough to use and using it to slow someone down or disrupt them sounds pretty useful to me.
