It was shown that Busoshoku Haki is very common in the New World, unlike in Paradise where Haki users are fairly rare and almost nobody knows about it. During the Summit War of Marineford, Busoshoku Haki was also used many times by Marines and pirates alike. The concept of using Haki to harden weapons was first shown by the Kuja, who were wielding Haki-imbued arrows. Afterwards, Rayleigh used Haki to stop Kizaru and even touched his Logia body. Later, on the Sabaody Archipelago, Sentomaru used Busoshoku Haki to attack Luffy, which made the Straw Hat Pirates think he was a Devil Fruit user due to their lack of knowledge about the ability.
