One Piece chapter 1170 has dropped a major revelation about Conqueror's Haki, and people are losing their minds over it. In his conversation with Loki, Harald says he has "the blood of a conqueror" flowing through him, which adds a genetic component to the ability that hasn't been confirmed until now. This one line has sent many people thinking that having "royal blood" means someone could have dormant powers for this unique Haki.There is no way that the ramifications for Sanji can be overlooked. Sanji, who is part of the Vinsmoke royal dynasty, fulfills the lineage requirements outlined in One Piece chapter 1170. Harald indicates that the offspring of Conquerors' Haki possess the potential to develop the ability to use this power; thus, based solely on his royal bloodline, Sanji can be deemed a candidate.The Hereditary Debate Explained in One Piece Chapter 1170Harald confirms Loki's Conqueror Haki (Image Source: Shueisha)Nevertheless, looking at the context of One Piece Chapter 1170, it appears to be interpreted differently. Instead of seeing these words as a definitive statement about genetics, they should be viewed as representing the Pride a father would have in his son. The series has proven repeatedly that it does not matter if a person is from a Royal bloodline or not, because through their own actions, they can awaken the 'Conqueror's Haki'.While the context of the chapter suggests a more nuanced interpretation of Harald's words as being indicative of paternal pride, the series has shown a consistent theme of individuals with non-royal bloodlines awakening their own Conqueror's Haki through pure force of will and ambition.Evidence Against Pure InheritanceLoki's Conqueror Haki in One Piece Chapter 1170 (Image Source: Shueisha)The developments within One Piece Chapter 1170 cannot be viewed independently of what has happened previously. The development of Conqueror’s Haki by Garp, Rayleigh, and Scopper Gaban would suggest that having royal lineage does not grant individuals the right to develop and awaken this type of Haki. Kaido and Whitebeard had also developed Conqueror’s Haki; however, neither of them had any royal blood. The fact that only Katakuri has developed Conqueror’s Haki from among the many children of Big Mom contradicts the notion that the bloodline will guarantee the development of Conqueror’s Haki in their children.Sanji's Unique CircumstancesSanji kicks an Elder, St. Nusjuro (Image Source: Toei Animation)The Vinsmoke family's genetic modifications complicate the hereditary argument. While Sanji's brothers have enhanced physical abilities, they do not exhibit any evidence of possessing Conqueror's Haki. Judge's scientific alterations focused on increasing combat capabilities but failed to develop spiritual abilities.Sanji opposed the philosophy and powers of all members of the Vinsmoke Family, as evidenced through his storyline. Rather than passively being experimented upon to create a "super" warrior, Sanji decided to be compassionate and to rely on his own belief systems to develop his own strength. Consequently, he will grow in strength based on the qualities inherent to him, not on the qualities that were passed down through his family.Implications for Sanji's JourneyThe character development of Sanji has relied on his cooking skills, chivalrous behavior, and instinctive protectiveness for his crew, making him less like a typical conqueror. Sanji's ambitions are focused primarily on assisting Luffy in achieving his dream and discovering All Blue; therefore, he does not have ambitions of conquest.The information revealed in One Piece chapter 1170 does not guarantee what Sanji will develop as a fighter down the line. Through both his journey to become stronger and his own willpower, the Straw Hat cook has become increasingly powerful in every way imaginable. As a result, any newly developed powers he receives will likely be based on who he is, rather than what others expect him to be as the son of that family.ConclusionIn the latest chapter of One Piece Chapter 1170, we are offered a unique perspective on Conqueror's Haki. While there is some implication based on Harald's comment concerning Loki's blood that there may have been a familial relationship, if we look at the overall story pattern, it appears that the individual traits of the person seem to be of the utmost importance in the ability to awaken Conqueror's Haki.The potential growth for Sanji can be interpreted in multiple ways, given his royal heritage and that his story arc indicates that whatever future powers he develops will come from him making decisions based on his beliefs.
