There appears to be very little Devil Fruit influence in this crew and, as a result, they are heavily Haki-reliant. While not every member of this crew has been confirmed to be a user of Haki, there are those who are known to possess tremendous Haki up their sleeve.

4 Yasopp

The Sniper Of The Crew

Yasopp is one of the three strongest Officers of the Red Hair Pirates and certainly an incredibly powerful fighter. He is likely the best sniper in the world of One Piece, and, as a result, fans already know that he possesses tremendous Observation Haki. His Haki is very powerful, such that he can see even the most minuscule details from afar.

Furthermore, he's also likely a user of Armament Haki and, as a result, he can imbue it in his bullets to deal damage to enemies. His bounty is considered to be very high, as is the case with the vast majority of the pirates in Shanks' crew, however, this is especially true for him and the other high-ranking Commanders. Yasopp is most definitely going to be a monster in Haki and it wouldn't be a surprise if he's capable of looking into the future itself as well. His Observation Haki is nothing short of fantastic and likely his biggest strength in combat.

3 Lucky Roux

A Powerful Combatant And Cook

The second strongest Officer of the Red Hair Pirates, Lucky Roux is a monster in combat and certainly an individual with a very high bounty as well. While Roux might not look intimidating, the strength he has up his sleeve is going to be absolutely immense and fans will most definitely get to witness that very soon in the Final Saga of the story. Lucky Roux is known to be a very good user of Armament Haki, and it is also known that he utilizes the power of Observation Haki as well. While his Observation Haki is likely going to be decent, it is his Armament Haki that is likely going to be his biggest strength.

These are the most powerful characters Blackbeard has defeated in One Piece.

His fighting style is known as Self-Bowling and essentially, it sees him curl himself up into a ball and then launch himself at incredibly high speeds. The girth and toughness of his body make it so that his enemies don't stand a chance against him. His legs are also known to be surprisingly strong and this suggests that when he coats them in Haki, he becomes even stronger. Without a doubt, he's one of the strongest individuals in One Piece at the moment.

2 Ben Beckman

The First Mate Of The Red Hair Pirates

The Vice Captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Ben Beckman is one of the strongest individuals in the One Piece world, and that goes without saying. His bounty is likely among the billions as well and fans should expect him to be around the same level as the Admirals of the One Piece world. He does not have a Devil Fruit, and, as a result, it shouldn't be a surprise to the fans to know that his Haki is very overpowered. In fact, it has already been confirmed by Oda that his Haki is rivaling that of an Admiral and that just goes to show what skill he possesses up his sleeve.

His Haki types have not been confirmed in the series just yet, however, at the very least, he likely has access to both Armament and Observation Haki, with Armament being his biggest strength. While his full strength has not been seen in the story just yet, fans can already tell that he's going to be a Haki monster. It wouldn't be a surprise if he possesses the Color of the Supreme King as well, however, this is not confirmed as of yet.

1 Shanks

The Captain Of The Red Hair Pirates

Of course, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks is the very best Haki user in the crew and potentially the entire series. He's known to possess every Haki type and his mastery of all of them is at an advanced level.

Shanks can see the longest future of any character known in One Piece at the moment and his Armament Haki can be channeled from a distance. It is Conqueror's Haki that is known to be his biggest strength and he wields it at such a level that even a 3 billion berry pirate and his right-hand man cannot withstand a single blast of it.

Shanks can also utilize many other techniques, such as sending his Conqueror's Haki from miles away to deal damage to someone, and even killing other people's Observation Haki using his own Conqueror's Haki. Undoubtedly, he is one of the strongest Haki users in One Piece and a pirate like no other.
